Going Live Tonight: Join Jason Hawes and TAPS for a Real-Time Paranormal Investigation at 8:30 PM EST
“There's nothing quite like a real-time investigation where you see everything unfold as it happens — no editing, no cuts, just raw paranormal research the way it's meant to be done. Whatever tonight brings, you're going to see it happen unfiltered and honest.”
— Jason Hawes
Tonight is the night — we're going live at 8:30 PM EST and I want you right there with me every step of the way. There's nothing quite like a real-time investigation where you see everything unfold as it happens, no editing, no cuts, just raw paranormal research the way it's meant to be done. Pull up a chair, grab your coffee, and get ready, because we don't know what tonight is going to bring.
One of the things I've always believed is that transparency is everything in this field. After more than three decades of investigating claims of the paranormal, I've seen what happens when investigators cherry-pick their evidence or sensationalize experiences for the camera. That's not what TAPS is about, and it's never been what I'm about. Tonight's live stream is a direct extension of that philosophy — you get to watch in real time as we work through a location methodically, the same way we always have, looking for every possible natural explanation before we even begin to consider something might be genuinely unexplained.
When we go into any investigation, the first thing we do is strip away the assumption that something paranormal is happening. Nine times out of ten, there's a rational explanation — faulty wiring creating electromagnetic fields that make people feel uneasy, old pipes that knock and groan, drafts that move curtains and trigger motion sensors. I've debunked hundreds of locations over the years, and I'm always more relieved than disappointed when that happens. It means someone gets peace of mind. It means a family can sleep again. That's a win, no matter how you look at it. Tonight, you'll watch us go through that entire process from start to finish — the walkthrough, the baseline readings, the witness interviews if applicable, and then the full investigation once the lights go down.
What makes a live stream special is that you become part of the team. I'll be checking in with the chat, taking your questions, and walking you through what we're doing and why. If I'm pulling out the EMF meter, I'll explain what I'm looking for and what the readings actually mean in context. If we hear something, we're going to investigate it properly rather than just reacting to it — trace it back to a source, rule out every structural or environmental cause we can think of, and only then consider whether it warrants further examination. That's the TAPS methodology, and it's the same whether there's a camera crew of twenty or just us streaming live to our community.
I've been doing this long enough to know that the most compelling moments in paranormal research aren't always the dramatic ones. Sometimes it's a temperature anomaly that has no business being where it is. Sometimes it's a piece of audio that holds up under every technical scrutiny we can throw at it. And sometimes the most powerful thing that happens on an investigation is proving that a frightened family has nothing to be afraid of. Whatever tonight brings, you're going to see it happen in real time, unfiltered and honest. That's my commitment to you and it always has been. Set your reminder, tune in at 8:30 PM EST, and let's go find the truth together.
Whether tonight delivers something we genuinely can't explain or we spend the evening methodically ruling out every creak and shadow, it's going to be a great investigation — because the process itself is where the real work happens. I'll see you live at 8:30 PM EST, and as always, let's approach this with open minds and healthy skepticism. The truth is what we're after, nothing more and nothing less.
