Seeking Spirits by Jason Hawes and Grant Wilson, founders of T.A.P.S., with Michael Jan Friedman is a form of case journal, detailing some of their most incredible investigations before they were ever on television, as well as serving as a brief how-to for the inspiring paranormal investigators.
I loved watching this show back when it was on Syfy and now I still occasionally watch the new incarnations of the show that are on now. I love all things with a parnormal or spooky vibe, so I was happy to see they had produced some books too. I picked up a copy of Seeking Spirits a few years ago at a discount book shop and it took me forever to work through my TBR pile enough to pick it up to read. But I’m glad I finally got to it because I really enjoyed it. Each chapter is fairly short and begins by sharing Jason, Grant, and the team’s personal experiences and encounters during an investigation and ends by giving a quick, helpful tip or how-to in the various avenues of paranormal investigating.
In the format of a show, we don’t really get to learn terribly much about the investigators and founders of T.A.P.S. so I realy loved that aspect of the book. For example we get to learn how some investigtors that we met in show came to join the team, whether they were an investigator in the field that reached out in one context of another or if they were a client that had contacted them at some point to investigate their home only to later join the team. Also I really love the philosophy that they use to approach an investigation, they are looking for evidence that they cannot logically disprove and seek to debunk evidence that stems from things like a faulty door latch or reflected headlights. A lot of investigators you see on TV will fly into hysterics at the sound of a shoe squeaking on the floor and my eyes roll and in disgust ad infinitum. So I really appreciate that they approach from the angle of ‘can this be disproven?’ instead of ‘well, obviously there’s demons all over this place.’
If you liked the show I think you’ll really enjoy it too, or if you are simply interested in paranormal investigation then I think you’ll find it interesting. I have ordered another book by them and will hopefully be starting it soon.
