We’re not chasing any stories that aren’t legitimate. “We also do an incredible deep dive into all the history. We do have some of that as well, but who are you helping?” explained Gonsalves. “Investigating places like asylums are super fun. We’re dealing with families and it feels that much better to be going back to our roots doing these residential and private cases.”Īccording to Gonsalves, Ghost Hunters and other shows were more about the chase and who has the best evidence instead of helping those who are truly in need. It’s such a great feeling when we leave a family and they’re not scared anymore or at least you know you leave them with enough information and education of what’s happening. “We do a lot of research on the properties and on the homes,” said Tango. We’re there to figure out what’s happening there, help them out and assist them any way possible.” “We’re a group of people who have always been together and we’re getting back to our roots where we’re going back to actually helping homeowners-ones with children and without-that are scared of things going on in their house or have misinformation about things going on in their house. “ Ghost Nation is still about a chain of people that weren’t casted to make a TV show,” Hawes explained. The team, under its new banner, United Paranormal Research Organization (UPRO), will face the most challenging and dangerous paranormal mysteries the country has to offer. The team is now armed with new state-of-the-art technology and their meticulous methodology. Two weeks later, I get a call from the director, I believe, and the rest is history. At the time, I didn’t realize that they were looking for someone new to join their group. We gave them a call and said, ‘hey, we have this case in Jersey that we need help with.’ They thought it was a good story and they let me and my friend be guests on that episode. I had a small amateur group, just me and one other guy, and we heard that the show Ghost Hunters was in New York. That’s kind of what led my interest in the paranormal. “You couldn’t really put these things in the reports, you’d have to go to a psych ward or something or run tests on you. “He’d come home and tell us true stories that would either happen to him or people that he knew on the force,” said Tango. Tango’s interest in the paranormal came from stories that his father, who was a police officer in Elizabeth, NJ, used to tell him and his brother about his unexplained encounters while on the job. I’m 42 now, so it’s been a rough road for me.” “I started my own team at 20 years old and joined forces with TAPS at 21,” Gonsalves said. Gonsalves became invested in the spirit world after reading a book that was written by parapsychologist Loyd Auerbach when he was 9 or 10 years old, about the paranormal, and eventually worked alongside prominent paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren in his late teens. I always wanted to look for real answers.” Jason Hawes, Steve Gonsalves and Dave Tango at the Higgins House (Photo courtesy of Travel Channel) ![]() People were claiming a piece of dust was actually orbs and ghosts. Back then, there weren’t a lot of avenues to go. “From there with researching and trying to figure out how these things were possible led me down the path. “Back in 1990, I had my own personal experience where I saw something that I thought was never possible,” said Hawes, who eventually cofounded The Atlantic Paranormal Society (TAPS) with fellow ghost hunter Grant Wilson. So how did these ghost hunters become involved in the paranormal realm in the first place? Each hour-long episode features high-stakes cases and multi-stage investigations, which feature a couple who recently gained notoriety when their nanny-cam footage captured a ghostly shadow figure walking by their baby’s crib, a local team that captured possible shadow people moving throughout a notorious haunt and an investigator who is scratched by an unseen phantom, and more fascinating cases. This time around, the group is helping homeowners who are dealing with scary hauntings and people whose lives have been overtaken and threatened by unexplained phenomena. Ghost hunters Jason Hawes, Steven Gonsalves and Dave Tango are getting back to their paranormal roots in their brand new show, Ghost Nation on the Travel Channel, and are taking things to the next level with new hunting equipment and investigative techniques. The boys are back in town-ghost town that is. Jason Hawes, Steven Gonsalves and Dave Tango are back together again in Ghost Nation. ![]()
