Going Live Tonight: Join the TAPS Team for a Real-Time Paranormal Investigation at 8:30 PM EST
“When we're live, there's no room for post-production polish — what you see is exactly what we're experiencing in the moment, and that's the only way I know how to do this work.”
— Jason Hawes
Tonight is the night — we're going live at 8:30 PM EST and I want you right there with us as it happens. There's nothing quite like a live investigation to keep everyone honest, including us, because you see everything in real time with no edits, no cuts, and no second takes. Pull up a chair, keep the lights on if you need to, and get ready to investigate alongside the TAPS team.
I've been doing this for a long time, and one thing I've learned is that a live investigation changes the entire dynamic of the night. When we're broadcasting in real time, there's no room for post-production polish or selective editing — what you see is exactly what we're experiencing in the moment. That kind of transparency is something I've always believed in. My whole approach is built around skepticism first. I walk into every location assuming there's a rational explanation for what people are reporting, and I don't abandon that position until the evidence genuinely forces me to reconsider. Tonight, you'll watch that process unfold live.
Live sessions like this are also an opportunity for me to connect directly with the community that has supported TAPS from the very beginning. You can drop your questions in the chat, call out something you notice on camera that we might have missed, and be a real part of the investigation rather than just a viewer. Over the years, sharp-eyed community members have pointed out details during live streams that led us to dig deeper into a location. That collaborative energy is something you simply can't replicate in a produced episode, and it's one of the main reasons I keep coming back to doing these live events.
Here's what you can expect from tonight. We'll walk you through the location, share whatever history and background we have on the site, and then get into the actual investigation with equipment running and cameras rolling. I'll be explaining my methodology as we go — why we place equipment where we do, how we attempt to recreate reported phenomena through natural means before attributing anything to the paranormal, and what constitutes evidence worth taking seriously versus what gets immediately debunked. If something happens that I can't immediately explain, you'll hear me say so. And if I can explain it, I'll walk you through exactly how.
The goal tonight isn't to find a ghost. The goal is to find the truth. Sometimes that means we leave a location with compelling, unexplained evidence that warrants further investigation. Sometimes it means we hand a homeowner or property manager a list of perfectly logical explanations for everything they've been experiencing — drafts causing doors to move, infrasound frequencies creating feelings of unease, faulty wiring behind flickering lights. Either outcome is a good one, because both serve the people who reached out to us looking for answers. So tune in at 8:30 PM EST, bring your skepticism, bring your curiosity, and let's see what the night has in store for us.
Whether tonight delivers something truly unexplained or a clean slate of debunked activity, I promise you'll see the full picture without anything held back. That's the only way I know how to do this work. See you at 8:30 PM EST — don't be late.
