Grant Wilson

Biography:

TAPS (The Atlantic Paranormal Society) is headed by Jason Hawes, 33, and Grant Wilson, 31, who star in the Sci-Fi series Ghost Hunters. They are neither Ph.D. scientists, nor zany, theatrical hotline psychics. Jason and Grant are plumbers by trade, and their TAPS colleagues are in similarly "ordinary" professions. From a factory worker, to an office manager and a teacher, these are respected members of a small, blue-collar Rhode Island community where many of the TAPS members were born and bred.

Upon meeting, Jason and Grant became fast friends, both with a marked interest in paranormal research.

Within a year, TAPS was formed, and through word-of-mouth they developed a reputation for helping people with unusual domestic problems. It has been more than a decade since Jason and Grant met. Since then TAPS has grown in size and scope to become one of the most respected paranormal groups in America. They now have branches across the U.S. and affiliates in 12 other countries. TAPS members are, like Jason and Grant, humble, self-assured, distinctive and inquisitive; they search for answers, but are comfortable with unsolved or unproven conclusions.
