Ask Jason Hawes Anything: Live Paranormal Q&A Tonight at 8:30 PM EST
“Nine times out of ten we find a rational explanation — and I consider that a success. But every now and then, after we've ruled out everything we can think of, something remains. Those are the cases that keep me up at night.”
— Jason Hawes
Some of the best conversations I've ever had about the paranormal haven't happened on a dark staircase or in a condemned asylum — they've happened with you, the community. Tonight at 8:30 PM EST, I'm going live and opening the floor completely. Bring your questions, your theories, your skepticism, and yes, even your disagreements.
I've been doing this work for decades now, and if there's one thing I've learned, it's that the paranormal community is one of the most curious, passionate, and diverse groups of people you'll ever come across. We've got seasoned investigators who've logged hundreds of hours in the field sitting right alongside people who just watched their first episode of Ghost Hunters and can't stop thinking about what they saw. Both of those people belong in this conversation, and tonight I want to hear from all of you.
When I started TAPS — The Atlantic Paranormal Society — the whole philosophy was built around one core idea: go in as a skeptic first. I'm not walking into a location hoping to find a ghost. I'm walking in hoping to find a rational, explainable cause for what the homeowner or client is experiencing. A leaky pipe creating strange sounds. Carbon monoxide causing feelings of dread and paranoia. Drafts slamming doors. Infrasound frequencies from nearby machinery triggering an overwhelming sense of unease. Nine times out of ten, that's exactly what we find. And I consider that a success. When I can look a family in the eye and tell them there's nothing to be afraid of — and prove it — that matters. That's real help.
But every now and then, after we've ruled out every natural explanation we can think of, something remains. Something we can't account for. Those are the cases that keep me up at night — not out of fear, but out of a genuine need to understand. Those are also the cases I love discussing with people like you, because fresh perspectives, wild theories, and honest questions have genuinely shaped the way I approach investigations. I've had community members point me toward research I hadn't considered. I've had skeptics challenge my methodology in ways that made it stronger. And I've had true believers remind me why this work matters on a deeply human level — because people are scared, and they deserve someone who takes that seriously.
So tonight is wide open. Ask me about specific investigations. Ask me about the Conjuring House, about equipment and methodology, about what I think actually constitutes evidence versus noise. Challenge me on cases where you think we got it wrong. Share your own experiences and let's dig into them together. I'll give you straight answers — no hype, no theatrics, just honest conversation from someone who has spent his career trying to find the truth, wherever it leads. I'll see you tonight at 8:30 PM EST. Don't be shy.
Tonight isn't about me — it's about the conversation we build together as a community. Whether you've been following this work since the early TAPS days or you're brand new to paranormal investigation, your voice belongs here. See you at 8:30.
