Investigating the Bulls Head Inn: 200 Years of History and Something We Can't Explain
Some locations earn their reputation. The Bulls Head Inn in Cobleskill, New York is one of them — over two centuries of continuous human activity packed into a single structure, and we were about to spend the night inside it trying to figure out whether any of that history had stayed behind. Built in 1802, this place has functioned as an inn, tavern, courthouse, town hall, Masonic Temple, and private residence. When a building has served that many purposes and seen that many people walk through its doors, you have to approach it with serious curiosity — and serious skepticism.

Jason Hawes Speaks Out: The State of the Paranormal Community and Why Integrity Still Matters
Every now and then, you have to step away from the investigations and just have an honest conversation. The paranormal field is something I've dedicated decades of my life to, and when I see things happening that threaten its credibility — both from outside and from within — I feel a responsibility to speak up. Tonight's livestream was exactly that: a raw, unfiltered conversation about where we are right now as a community, what's working, and what's doing serious damage.

Inside the Bull's Head Inn: Investigating One of New York's Most Haunted Historic Properties
When I first heard about the Bull's Head Inn in Cobleskill, New York, I knew it was the kind of place that deserved a serious look — not just because of the ghost stories, but because of the history soaked into every wall of that building. Before JV and I ever set foot inside with our equipment, we sat down with owner Christopher Guldner to understand exactly what we were walking into. What he shared with us was equal parts fascinating history and genuinely unsettling personal experience.

Inside the Bull's Head Inn: Exploring Two Centuries of History and Haunted Legends in Cobleskill, NY
Some buildings carry their history quietly, and then there are places like the Bull's Head Inn in Cobleskill, New York — a structure that has worn so many identities over more than two centuries that the stories practically seep from its walls. Built in 1802, this remarkable landmark has served as an inn, tavern, town hall, courthouse, Masonic Temple, and private residence, and every one of those chapters left something behind. When I had the chance to walk through its doors and explore what makes this place tick, I wasn't going to pass it up.

Join Jason Hawes Live Tonight: Conjuring House Community Hangout at 8:30 PM EST
Tonight's the night — I'm going live at 8:30 PM EST and I want you there with me. Whether you're a longtime member of the TAPS family or just discovering the world of paranormal investigation for the first time, this is your chance to pull up a chair and be part of the conversation. These live community hangouts are some of my favorite things to do, because this work has never been just about what happens in dark hallways — it's about the people who care enough to ask the hard questions.

Ed & Lorraine Warren: Separating Paranormal Fact from Hollywood Fiction
For decades, Ed and Lorraine Warren have cast a long shadow over the paranormal world — and over investigators like me who came up in an era shaped by their cases. I've always believed that if you're going to talk about someone's legacy, you owe it to the truth to look at the actual evidence. That's exactly what I sat down to do with Stevi from the Truth or Demons podcast.

Inside New Hampshire's Haunted James House: A Colonial-Era Investigation in Hampton, NH
When a building has been standing since the early 1700s, it carries more than just timber and hand-cut nails — it carries the weight of generations. The James House in Hampton, New Hampshire, believed to have been built between 1720 and 1723, is one of the oldest surviving First Period colonial homes in the state, and the reports coming out of it were compelling enough to bring us in for a full investigation. Before I ever set up a single piece of equipment, I wanted to understand what we were walking into — and more importantly, whether the history of this place could explain what people have been experiencing here.

Inside New Hampshire's Most Haunted Colonial Home: The James House Investigation
Before I ever set up a single piece of equipment, I try to understand a location — its history, the people who lived there, and the stories that have followed it across the centuries. The James House in Hampton, New Hampshire stopped me in my tracks the moment I started digging into its past. This isn't just one of New England's oldest homes; it's a place where three hundred years of life, loss, and human experience have soaked into every timber and floorboard.

Inside New Hampshire's 300-Year-Old James House: A Paranormal Investigation of One of New England's Most Historic Homes
Some locations stop you the moment you walk through the door — not because of anything you can measure, but because of the sheer weight of everything that happened there. The James House in Hampton, New Hampshire is exactly that kind of place. Built between 1720 and 1723, this First Period colonial home has stood through nearly three centuries of American history, and if the reports we'd been hearing from visitors and investigators were any indication, it may not be done making history just yet.

The Fight to Keep the Conjuring House Name: Trademark Battle Threatens One of Paranormal's Most Iconic Locations
What happens when the name of one of the most recognized paranormal locations in the world becomes a legal weapon? That's exactly what we're facing right now with The Conjuring House — and I want to make sure the community has the full picture, straight from the documents, straight from the records, and without the spin.

Investigating Florida's Most Haunted Jail: Two Nights Inside St. Augustine's Old Jail
St. Augustine's Old Jail has been whispering dark stories since 1891 — stories of violence, suffering, and something that refuses to leave. When a location carries that kind of history, I don't walk in ready to believe. I walk in ready to work. We spent two full nights inside one of Florida's most talked-about haunted locations, and what we found was worth every hour.

Inside St. Augustine's Old Jail: History, Haunts, and Hard Evidence
Some locations carry the weight of their past in ways you can almost feel the moment you walk through the door — and the Old Jail in St. Augustine, Florida is exactly that kind of place. Built in 1891 under the direction of Henry Flagler's company, this historic structure housed some of Florida's most dangerous criminals for decades, and today it's earned a reputation as one of the most actively haunted sites in the South. I went in the same way I go into every location: looking for every possible rational explanation before I even consider pointing to something paranormal.
