Who You Gonna Call? Ghost Hunters!

Tuesday, February 26th, 2008

Ghost_Hunters_Grant_Jason They were asked the question, what is scarier: plumber work or ghost hunting work?

Jason Hawes: Well the problem is, half the plumbing jobs can actually be listed under paranormal. So yeah, plumbing is more frightening. You never know, what if you make a mistake and somebody’s house blows up? Yeah, so…

Grant Wilson: . . . there are a lot of similarities. I mean, in both situations you got people who…

Jason Hawes: . . . call you in because they need your help.

Grant Wilson: . . . they don’t understand the situation. And then you go in with the knowledge, you help them out and you leave them feeling better. And, you know, you never know what house you’re walking into. Some people are crazy.

And on they go, finishing each other’s sentences time and time again.  I guess it’s what comes from spending hours and hours skulking around in dark rooms and ancient tunnels in search of that one definitive paranormal experience.  They’re the leaders of TAPS — The Atlantic Paranormal Society, and they’re also the stars of one of SCI FI Channels highest rated TV shows, "Ghost Hunters."

Grant and Jason and the whole gang are about to embark on Season Four so they sat down with reporters to inform, enlighten and tease a little about what’s coming up.

Ghost Hunters Talk About Being Scared

Saturday, February 23rd, 2008

Ghost_Hunters_Grant This week SFI Channel’s "Ghost Hunters" Grant Wilson and Jason Hawes sat down to talk with reporters.  Here’s what Grant had to say about "getting scared on the job."

 

"Some of these places you’re in you get an uneasy feeling like you got to look over your shoulder. You’ll be startled by things. But, you know what? You were called in by people to investigate this. They called you in as professionals, looking for your help and guidance. If you run out of their house or, you know, you just tell them I can’t do this, I got to leave, then those people are stranded.

And not just stranded, but now they’re even more fearful when the professional that they called in is terrified to be in their house."

 

Get the full scoop on Grant, Jason and the season premiere of Ghost Hunters at SFUniverse on Monday.

Ghost Hunters: The Myrtles Plantation

Thursday, December 27th, 2007

myrtles.jpgWith hardly anything new on TV tonight, I flipped on an old episode of Ghost Hunters on SCI FI mostly because it had to do with The Myrtles Plantation. A couple of years ago, I read the book written by the Myrtles owner and it was a fascinating tale. The Myrtles is called one of the most haunted places in America and it sure seems to be true.

The stories of the Myrtles involve a slave girl named Chloe who can be seen in THIS famous photo. People also report seeing and hearing two little girls and a Confederate soldier who likes to stroll along the front lawn. Also take a look at THIS creepy Myrtles pic.

The TAPS crew ended up with some interesting findings - especially a transparent image that runs across the thermal camera and a moving lamp! Yep, a lamp moves across a table right before your very eyes! The creepiest thing though was a hunched shadow that pops up in the front door windows as if someone were peaking in then ducking down to hide. That was truly creepy.

The Myrtles is a bed and breakfast near New Orleans so you can book a room and do a little ghost hunting yourself if you’ve a mind to. And if you haven’t read The Myrtles Plantation: The True Story of America’s Most Haunted House, you must check it out, it’s a disturbing story of how a haunted house can literally drive you crazy.

Here are a couple of other Myrtles websites.
