“What makes us so unique is when TAPS comes in, we try to disprove a haunting. But whether paranormal or not — you need to help these people.”
You Deserve Answers, Not Skepticism
Most people wait months — or years — before reaching out. They worry about being dismissed, ridiculed, or written off. We understand. That fear is real.
At TAPS, every case is treated with the same professionalism and compassion we’ve maintained for over three decades. Whether the cause is paranormal, environmental, or psychological — we help you find the truth. No judgment. Ever.
35 Years of Evidence. Zero Compromises.

From First Contact to Full Investigation
We’ve refined this process over 35 years. Every case is handled with the same structure, discretion, and care — whether you’re a homeowner, business owner, or caretaker of a historic site.
Start Your RequestSubmit Your Case Request
Fill out our confidential case request form. It takes about 10 minutes and helps us understand your situation fully — location, activity type, timeline, and any evidence you may already have.
A Case Manager Contacts You
Within a few days, a TAPS case manager will reach out via your preferred method to discuss your case, ask any follow-up questions, and begin the intake process.
Your Team is Assigned
Based on your location, a vetted TAPS or TAPS Family team is matched to your case. All investigators are background-checked and trained in our methodology.
Full Investigation & Findings
The team conducts a thorough overnight investigation using professional equipment. All findings — paranormal or otherwise — are shared with you privately. No cameras, no publicity, unless you consent.
The Organization That Defined the Field
In 1990, Jason Hawes founded a small Rhode Island investigation group driven by personal experience and a belief that unexplained phenomena deserved serious study. What began as weekend investigations grew into one of the most recognized paranormal organizations in the world.
Ghost Hunters — airing on Syfy, A&E, Discovery+, and Travel Channel over 16 seasons — brought TAPS into living rooms across the globe. But the TV show was never the mission. Helping people always was.

Notable Investigations
Some of Our Most Notable Investigations
From century-old prisons to historic ocean liners — 35 years of cases, all approached with the same science-first rigor.
Eastern State Penitentiary
TAPS documented a moving anomaly through Cellblock 12 — six consecutive frames of a mist-like form moving down a locked hallway. Unable to debunk. Declared active. Footage released publicly for review.
The Stanley Hotel
The real-world inspiration for Stephen King's The Shining. A landmark live 6-hour broadcast. Multiple unexplained audio events and equipment anomalies documented overnight.
Waverly Hills Sanatorium
Once a tuberculosis hospital where thousands died. TAPS documented shadow figures, disembodied voices, and temperature drops in sealed sections. One of their most compelling investigations.
RMS Queen Mary
Aboard the retired ocean liner, the team documented a watertight door opening without explanation in a sealed section, and captured audio anomalies in the engine room and pool area.
Winchester Mystery House
Reports of temperature changes, phantom organ music, and a figure in coveralls near the boiler. TAPS documented unexplained EMF spikes in the Daisy Bedroom and ballroom.
St. Augustine Lighthouse
One of only two locations TAPS returned to investigate twice. Both visits produced compelling audio evidence and visual anomalies — considered a landmark case in the series.
These are public cases. We’ve helped thousands of private clients whose stories remain confidential — just as they requested.
