Join Jason Hawes Live Tonight: Paranormal Community Hangout at 8:30 PM EST
“My job isn't to confirm hauntings — it's to investigate them. I walk into every location as a skeptic first, and I owe that standard to the people who ask for our help and to the integrity of this field.”
— Jason Hawes
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 community or you just stumbled into the paranormal world and aren't sure what to make of it yet, this is your invitation. Pull up a chair, bring your questions, and let's talk.
I've been doing this work for a long time — decades of walking into locations that people swear are haunted, setting up equipment, and doing everything I can to find a rational explanation before I even begin to entertain the idea that something paranormal is happening. That process never gets old, and neither does the conversation that surrounds it. That's exactly why I love doing these live community hangouts. There's something about sitting down in real time with people who are genuinely passionate about this field that reminds me why I started TAPS in the first place.
Tonight's live stream is a community hangout — no agenda, no scripted rundown, just an open conversation with the people who make this community what it is. I'll be on at 8:30 PM EST, and I want to hear from you. Got a location you think deserves an investigation? A personal experience you can't explain? Questions about methodology, equipment, or how we approach a case when the evidence starts pointing in an unexpected direction? Bring it all. These conversations are some of the most valuable ones I have, because the paranormal community is sharp. You ask hard questions, and that keeps me honest.
One thing I always try to make clear — in live streams, on investigations, and everywhere else — is that my job isn't to confirm hauntings. My job is to investigate them. That means I walk into every location as a skeptic first. I'm looking for drafts that could explain a cold spot, structural settling that could account for unexplained sounds, lighting conditions or reflective surfaces that might be behind what someone thought was an apparition. I owe it to the people who reach out to us for help to be thorough before I ever say the word 'paranormal.' And I owe it to the integrity of this field to hold that standard every single time. Tonight, if the conversation goes there, I'm happy to break down exactly how that process works and why it matters.
So mark your calendars, set a reminder, and meet me online tonight at 8:30 PM EST. These live sessions are one of the best ways I know to stay connected with the community that has supported this work for so long. Whether we spend the evening talking about famous cases, debating investigative technique, or just catching up — I guarantee it'll be worth your time. I'll see you tonight.
Tonight isn't about evidence review or case files — it's about the community that makes all of it possible. Show up at 8:30 PM EST, bring your curiosity, and let's have a real conversation. I'll be there, and I hope you will be too.
