: ''This article is about the reality tv series, see Ghost Hunters (game) Ghost Hunters for the 1986 video game.''''Ghost Hunters'' is a reality series about Jason Hawes and Grant Wilson, who are plumbers by day and who hunt ghosts at night as part of The Atlantic Paranormal Society (TAPS). The show debuted in October 2004 on the Sci Fi channel (United States). Should not be confused with Cafe' Productions similarly titled 1996 show Ghosthunters which ran for two seasons and is frequently featured on the Discovery Channel.
Investigations - Hawes and Wilson are armed with the latest electronic equipment to record paranormal activity. They use digital thermometers, EMF (electro-magnetic field) scanners, infrared and night vision cameras, high-definition handheld video cameras, digital audio recorders, and laptop computers to record their data. Their first step when investigating a location is to take a tour of the site, where owners or housekeepers describe their encounters. Next the team sets up their devices in whatever paranormal "hot spots" were indicated on the tour. They then spend several hours roaming the location, taking EMF and temperature readings, recording audio for Electronic voice phenomenaEVPs, and filming whatever they can. Afterward, they spend several hours analyzing all the audio and video they have gathered. The next day, if a return trip to the location is warranted, Hawes and Wilson go over their findings with the location site owners and discuss what they have uncovered. They also offer suggestions to help deal with the activity and answer any other questions the owner may have.Since the show aired, TAPS has recorded thousands of hours of audio and video footage. Most investigations turn up cold, with very little activity, if at all, but occasionally they find something strange that makes the trip worthwhile. They have several good recordings of strange mists, odd lights, moving objects, and shadowy forms that manifest before the camera and disappear quickly. TAPS does not believe every story they hear, and to lend credibility to their investigation, the team tries to debunk most activity to find a reasonable explanation for things such as cold spots that are identified as drafty windows, strange lights as reflections of passing vehicles, strange noise could be a thumping branch or vermin in the walls.
