The TAPS resources are quite formidable. The technology, skills, and tools are very impressive. Some of the evidence in this show is astonishing. Most of the time there is nothing or close to nothing conclusive as far as evidence. I like everything about this show. The only reason I gave this show four stars rather than five is, inconsistency in the decision making of whether a place is haunted or not. Jay and Grant say it time and time again that personal experiences and EVPs alone aren't enough to determine a haunting yet, every now and again based on just these two types of evidence they come up with the conclusion of a haunting. I have seen all the seasons I am purchasing these seasons because I am in a state of nostalgic. Basically, I want to rewatch the show. On a side note, one thing that Jay and Grant hit base on in the first season was, some other paranormal investigation organizations ask for payment in order to investigate homes and businesses. As a result, they are more eager to jump to conclusions of being haunted based on less evidence. Some people are in paranormal investigating for a hobby but for many others which are passionate about the field, and they aren't in

Garbage..Junk..All Lies. How many of their former members have quit and then gone on to tell the truth of how shows were staged. Figure it out people.. where do plumbers that work out of a franchise get the money to buy an Inn and restore it? Britt was supposed to be fired for outing a member on Paranormal State, he missed a few episodes and then was welcomed back with open arms. Paranormal State was cancelled! If you paid me over $100,000 an episode I would see ghosts too. Thank the ghost gods that Grant had the decency to leave the show. Steve was once a Police Officer??? With all of his phobias he would never be accepted into any Police force in the country...not to mention his tats. 100% loser who can't even drum on beat!

They use scientific method, investigate physical buildibg issues and land and traffic to find valid causes; attitude to debunk makes high standard before they will say yes or maybeto paranomal experience. Much support donated by Rotor Rooter by giving time off and donating sciebtific equipment and instruments,. Rotor Roter deserves more advertisementadfc from this. Since people are volunteers, some wannabes can't handle their fear. Others get burnt out by training so many. Some burnt out fro.tremendous increase in requests across county and europe, requiring much travel, takes lots of personsal time such as reviewing hours colected data for every minute, and they are away from home and families a lot. Sad, but understandablee. Earliest episodes had best expertise, but still relies heavily on scientific instruments,scientific method, a daaruling out all by trying to debunk it all first. As for tv staging, some conversations must be 'REDONE' with more explanation than they would use among selves because viewers must be able to understand their approach, thinking, methodology, and how they reached theirconclusions. Various investigations result in total debunking.
