Ghost Hunters (TAPS) Fanatic
It’s no hidden secret for those of you who know me well, know that I absolutely love watching Ghost Hunters and Ghost Hunters International. I came onto the show about six or seven years ago and have never missed a show…well, if I did miss a show I immediately watched the episode on demand.
As I watched last week’s episode with one of Grant’s final remaining shows (i.e. Grant is leaving the Ghost Hunters show) I realized how this group has become a part of my life through countless hours of ghost investigating. Not only do I love what they represent and how they handle their clients, they’re just a great group of people.
I have always loved how compassionate Jason and Grant are when dealing with families, especially children, who are being haunted and don’t know who or where to turn. They take these situations seriously and make sure their clients can relax and continue to live in their homes. Now I’m sure many are skeptical that such a thing as ghosts exist, and everyone is entitled to their thoughts and opinions. But I’ve watched and listened to their evidence, and I’m convinced there is paranormal activity out there.
The other thing I realized over the years watching GH, is that it opened a curiosity that I didn’t realize I had. This curiosity is what brought me to my present passion in writing and how I have included ghost investigating in my story. I do use other elements (i.e. psychic mediums, murder, suspense, mystery), but having watched TAPS for so long gave me the best research I could have ever had for my fiction paranormal mystery.
So, in closing, I guess I just wanted to thank Jason and Grant for the creation of TAPS, and I am very sad to see Grant leaving the show. As he said, “This isn’t goodbye.” I’m sure he will appear in the future and will always remain in contact with the team and continue to be the great friend/brother he is to Jason. I’m just thrilled I found the show, not only to satisfy my own curiosity, but to have opened the creative side in me to find my passion in writing…and to use their investigations as research in my stories.
As Jason says, “Onto the next.”…fist bump.
