Jason Hawes and Grant Wilson, along with other team members who belong to the group they founded, The Atlantic Paranormal Society (TAPS) have become a favorite among fans as they investigate locations that are allegedly haunted
while paying close attention to any history that particular location may have. Rather than looking for definitive proof of the existence of paranormal activity TAPS does not believe every piece of evidence gathered is proof of the paranormal. They believe that in order to establish credibility within their investigations, evidence should be debunked by searching for reasonable explanations for things such as "cold spots" (that may be drafty doors or windows), "moving objects" (that may have been bumped or moved), "phantom lights" (that may be lights from cars on the street), and "strange noises" (that may be noisy plumbing or just normal settling noises).

Jason and Grant each cite their interest in paranormal investigation as a result of independent experiences they each have had. They also have another aspect of their lives in common as they both were plumbers for Roto-Rooter. In the earlier episodes this was featured as Jason and Grant were depicted as finishing up a Roto-Rooter job just as they received that all important cell phone call from their case manager telling them about the newest phone call for help. Since their roles as plumbers for Roto-Rooter has declined in the show, they now are just spokesmen and use the equipment to advertise their sponsors including Roto-Rooter.
Friendoozle staff - especially Bubbies - are long time fans of the show and look forward to watching the 2008 Halloween special on Friday, October 31st. This will be TAPS' fourth live Halloween investigation broadcast. Other notable past specials include the Stanley Hotel made famous by the Stephen King novel "The Shining". Tune into the SciFi channel for more info on the interactive tools available to fans during the live show. We hope to scare you there.
