The Conjuring House, Fan Questions, and the Truth About Paranormal Investigation
Few locations carry more cultural weight in the paranormal world right now than the Conjuring House in Harrisville, Rhode Island — and I get asked about it constantly. So I decided to sit down, go live, and talk through it all openly with you: what I think about the location, the claims, and the bigger questions surrounding how we should be approaching cases like this one. If you've ever wanted an honest, unfiltered conversation about one of the most famous alleged haunted houses in America, this is it.

The Hoover House Investigation: When a Building Seems to Answer Back
I've walked into hundreds of locations over the years, and I can tell you that most of them have a rational explanation waiting to be uncovered. The Hoover House was different — not because I went in expecting it to be, but because the environment itself started pushing back almost immediately. What happened inside those walls made me slow down, pay attention, and ask questions I don't ask lightly.

Inside Pennsylvania's Haunted Hoover House: History, Mystery, and a Ghost Hunter's First Look
Before you walk into any investigation, you do your homework — and the Historic 1912 Hoover House in Waynesboro, Pennsylvania gives you plenty to work with. Built over a century ago and shaped by decades of life, loss, and transformation, this bed-and-breakfast has quietly built a reputation as one of the most active paranormal locations in the mid-Atlantic region. JV and I sat down with owners Pam and Steve Barry to understand what we were walking into before we ever picked up a piece of equipment.

Inside the Hoover House: What We Found Before the Investigation Even Started
Before you can investigate a location properly, you have to understand it. That's not just common sense — it's the foundation of everything we do at TAPS. The Hoover House had been on our radar for a while, and when we finally got inside, it was clear this place had layers worth paying attention to before we ever switched on a single piece of equipment.

After the Investigation: Your Questions Answered Live with Jason Hawes
There's something special about coming down from an investigation and sitting down directly with the people who care most about this work — you.

When the Paranormal Gets Personal: Investigating a Location Where Staff Are Being Targeted
When we get a call saying employees are afraid to come to work, that's when I know an investigation can't wait. It's one thing to have guests report strange experiences — it's another when the people who spend the most time in a location, the ones who know every creak and quirk of the building, start saying something is specifically coming after them. That's the case that brought my team out for this investigation, and I'll be honest with you: what we documented here gave even me reason to pause.

Going Live: Inside a Real-Time Paranormal Investigation with TAPS
There's something different about going live — no edits, no cuts, no second takes. When I take TAPS into a location in real time with you watching alongside us, every creak, every shadow, and every piece of evidence gets examined exactly as it happens. That's the kind of transparency I've always believed paranormal investigation deserves.

Investigating the Dedham Museum: When Something Feels Wrong and You Can't Explain Why
Some locations announce themselves the moment you walk through the door. The Dedham Museum was one of those places — not with a dramatic bang or a disembodied voice, but with something quieter and harder to shake: the persistent feeling that the environment itself wasn't behaving the way it should. That feeling is exactly what we're trained to chase down and disprove, and it's exactly what kept us working through the night.

What the Archives Reveal: Digging Into Dedham's Hidden History Before We Investigate
Before I ever set foot in a location with a single piece of equipment, I do my homework. History doesn't lie — and when you're trying to figure out whether something genuinely unexplained is happening in a place, understanding what that place has been through is the first and most important step. That's exactly why my visit to the Dedham Museum and Archives stopped me in my tracks.

The Real Story Behind The Conjuring House, My Surgery Recovery, and Your Questions Answered
There are few cases in the paranormal world that generate more questions than the Harrisville, Rhode Island house made famous by The Conjuring — and honestly, I get why. Between the Hollywood treatment, the legends that have built up around that location, and my own history with investigations like it, people want to know what I really think. I went live recently to do something I don't do enough of: just talk openly, take your calls, and give you straight answers.

Investigating the Dedham Museum & Archives: History, Silence, and What Hides in the Quiet
Some of the most compelling investigations I've ever done happen in places where the history is so dense you can almost feel it pressing against you before you even unpack a single piece of equipment. The Dedham Museum & Archives is exactly that kind of location — a repository of centuries of New England history housed within walls that have absorbed more human experience than most people ever stop to consider. When I walked through those doors, I wasn't walking in looking for ghosts. I was walking in looking for answers.

Investigating the Unexplained at Oneonta's History Center: What We Found Inside
Some locations carry weight the moment you walk through the door — a heaviness you can't quite explain but can't ignore either. Oneonta's History Center was one of those places. We went in with our usual approach: find every rational explanation first, and only then consider whether something else might be at work.

Why I Let the Evidence Speak for Itself: Transparency Without Speculation in Paranormal Investigation
After decades of investigating claims of the paranormal, the one thing I've learned above everything else is this: the moment you start filling in the blanks with what you want to find, you've stopped investigating and started storytelling. Transparency isn't just a personal value for me — it's the foundation of every single case I take on. If we can't be honest about what we don't know, we have no business calling ourselves investigators.

Investigating the Oneonta History Center: What the Ghosts of Old Oneonta Are Trying to Tell Us
Before you ever set foot inside a location with cameras rolling and equipment armed, the most important work you can do is sit down, shut up, and listen. That's exactly what brought me to the Oneonta History Center — a building soaked in local history and, according to the people who work and live near it, something else entirely. This is the story of what I found before the investigation even began.

When History Has a Pulse: Investigating the Secrets Hidden Inside These Walls
Some locations carry their past like a weight you can feel the moment you walk through the door. When we got the call about this building, the history alone was enough to make it worth our time — but as we quickly discovered, history wasn't the only thing waiting for us inside. What we found during this investigation challenged even my most grounded explanations.
