T.A.P.S. (The Atlantic Paranormal Society) is headed by Jason Hawes and Grant Wilson and includes a close-knit
group of paranormal researchers. Built on Jason and Grant's mutual interest in getting to the bottom of everyday,
paranormal occurrences, T.A.P.S. is an eclectic but unified bunch — and certainly not what you'd expect to find at
the forefront of paranormal investigation. They're neither Ph.D. scientists, nor zany, theatrical hotline psychics.
Jason and Grant are plumbers by trade, and their T.A.P.S. colleagues are in similarly ordinary professions.
Factory worker, office manager, teacher — these are respected members of a small, blue-collar Rhode Island community
where many of the T.A.P.S. members were born and raised.
Brought together by their own highly personal paranormal experiences, Hawes and Wilson shared an interest in
researching these often unexplained occurrences. Soon, they began to seek out others like themselves — people
with a level-headed, driving interest in the paranormal. Within a year, T.A.P.S. was formed, and through word of
mouth it developed a reputation for helping people with unusual domestic problems. Originally headquartered in a
spare room of Jason's apartment, T.A.P.S. fields phone calls, e-mails, and personal visits from people who have — or
claim to have — a nonphysical entity interfering with their lives. Depending on the nature of the haunting, a select
group of T.A.P.S. field researchers will load equipment into a vehicle and drive up to hundreds of miles to investigate.
Despite the expenses they incur on fuel, equipment (infrared cameras, night-vision goggles and the like) and time off
from their day jobs, they know they could never charge for their services — that would make them much more likely to be
labeled charlatans.
It has been more than a decade since Jason and Grant met. Since then T.A.P.S. has grown in size and scope to become
one of the most respected paranormal-investigation groups in America. It now has branches across the United States and
affiliates in 12 other countries. T.A.P.S. members are, like Jason and Grant, humble, self-assured and inquisitive; they
search for answers, but are comfortable with unsolved or unproven conclusions. Through the years, Jason and Grant have not
forgotten why they do this — to find answers for themselves, and to help others who have experienced paranormal activity
but don't know what to do about it.
Over the years, T.A.P.S. has accumulated clients with surprising speed — victims of troubled or restless spirits who
needed their help. Jason, Grant and the others who have joined the group investigate haunted houses throughout the
United States and encounter all types of human ("regular" ghosts of dead people) and inhuman (entities such as demons)
hauntings.
