Tonight at 8:30 PM EST, we're going live for our Halloween special, and I want you right there with us as it happens — no edits, no cuts, just raw investigation in real time. This is the kind of event I've been passionate about for decades, because there's nothing more honest than showing people exactly what paranormal investigation looks like as it unfolds.

We Spent Halloween Night at the Conjuring House — Here's What We Found

There are a handful of locations in the paranormal world that carry so much history — and so much hype — that walking through the front door feels like stepping into a legend. The Conjuring House in Rhode Island is one of them. This Halloween, we went live from inside its walls to find out whether the reputation holds up under scrutiny.

Investigating the 1890 House Museum: What We Found Inside Cortland's Most Historic Mansion After Dark

Some locations earn their reputation through decades of whispered stories and unanswered questions. The 1890 House Museum in Cortland, New York is one of those places — a stunning Gilded Age stone mansion that has stood for more than 130 years, holding onto the history of the Wickwire family and everyone who has passed through its doors since. Jim and I went in after dark to find out whether those stories hold any weight, or whether this beautiful old building has simply been misunderstood.

Inside the 1890 House Museum: Haunted History, the Wickwire Legacy, and What We Found in Cortland, NY

Some locations earn their reputation through decades of whispered stories and unexplained experiences — and the 1890 House Museum in Cortland, New York is exactly that kind of place. Before we ever set up a single piece of equipment, JV and I sat down to dig into the history behind this stunning Victorian-era home, because if you want to understand what might be happening inside a building, you have to first understand the people who lived and died there. What we uncovered about the Wickwire family — and the tragic fate of the man who built this house — made it clear this was going to be one of those investigations that stays with you.

Inside The 1890 House: Exploring Cortland's Gilded Age Mansion Before the Lights Go Out

Before you can investigate a location, you have to understand it. That's something I've believed since the earliest days of TAPS, and it's exactly why we spent time walking every room of The 1890 House Museum in Cortland, New York before we ever pulled out a single piece of equipment. What we found inside this stunning Gilded Age mansion was a history so rich, so layered, that it made everything that happened once the lights went out feel that much more significant.

Investigating the Haunted Phelps Mansion in Binghamton, NY: What We Found Inside

Some buildings hold history the way others hold heat — you feel it the moment you walk through the door. The Phelps Mansion in Binghamton, New York is one of those places. Built in the 1870s for Sherman D. Phelps, this structure has outlasted nearly everything that once surrounded it, and after more than 150 years, the questions lingering inside its walls were worth a full investigation.

Investigating the Phelps Mansion: Does Judge Phelps Still Walk These Halls?

Some locations carry a weight the moment you step through the door — a heaviness in the air that makes the hairs on the back of your neck stand up before a single piece of equipment is even unpacked. The Phelps Mansion is one of those places. The question we came to answer: is Judge Phelps still here, or is something else entirely responsible for what witnesses have been reporting?

Walking Through the Phelps Mansion: History, Haunted Stories, and What We Found Before the Investigation

Before you can investigate a location properly, you have to understand it — the people, the history, and the events that shaped the place over more than a century. That's exactly why I spent time walking through the Phelps Mansion Museum in Binghamton, New York, room by room, before we ever set up a single piece of equipment. What I found inside those walls was far more layered than I expected.

Investigating the Bulls Head Inn: 200 Years of History and Unexplained Activity in Cobleskill, NY

Some locations earn their reputation over decades. The Bulls Head Inn in Cobleskill, New York has had more than two centuries to accumulate its history — and whatever may have come with it. When a building has served as an inn, tavern, courthouse, town hall, Masonic Temple, and private residence all under one roof, you're not just investigating a structure. You're investigating layers of human experience stacked on top of each other going all the way back to 1802.

Jason Hawes Speaks Out: The State of the Paranormal Community and Why It Matters

There comes a point where you have to stop, take a breath, and have an honest conversation — not about what's lurking in a dark hallway, but about what's happening in the community we've all built together. The paranormal field means everything to me, and right now, it needs some real talk. Tonight's livestream was exactly that: a candid, unfiltered discussion about where we are, where we've been, and where we need to go.

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 200 Years of History and Haunted Legends in Cobleskill, NY

Some buildings don't just hold history — they absorb it. The Bull's Head Inn in Cobleskill, New York is exactly that kind of place. Built in 1802, this remarkable structure has worn more identities than almost any historic building I've ever stepped inside, and every one of those identities left something behind.

Ed & Lorraine Warren: Separating Paranormal Fact from Hollywood Fiction

Few names in paranormal history carry more weight — or more controversy — than Ed and Lorraine Warren. For decades, their case files have inspired blockbuster films, bestselling books, and countless late-night debates around the world. But when you strip away the Hollywood polish and take a hard, honest look at the documented evidence, what do the facts actually reveal?

Inside New Hampshire's Haunted James House: A Paranormal Investigation of One of America's Oldest Colonial Homes

When a structure has been standing since the early 1720s, it has had three centuries to accumulate stories — and some of those stories refuse to stay quiet. The James House in Hampton, New Hampshire, is one of the finest surviving First Period colonial homes in the country, and it comes with a reputation that goes well beyond its architectural significance. We brought our equipment, our skepticism, and our respect for history inside its ancient walls to find out what, if anything, is still here.

Inside New Hampshire's 300-Year-Old James House: History, Haunting Legends & What We Found Before We Investigated

Some locations stop you before you even walk through the door. The James House in Hampton, New Hampshire is one of them — a First Period colonial home with origins that predate the American Revolution by decades, and a reputation for unexplained activity that has followed it just as long as its history has. Before I brought my team in to investigate, I sat down to learn everything I could about this place, and what I heard was enough to make even a skeptic lean forward in his chair.

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.
