Do you have any upcoming outside projects you'd like to tell my readers about? Robb: That's largely because I am not signed with their management team. I really like Marc Tetlow the organizer , but I have stuck to more small events. Had an absolute blast. My next event is Parasota www. Laura: One thing I did find out about you from your bio on Syfy.
What discipline do you study and has your training helped you with any paranormal investigations? Robb: I have studied just about every martial art under the sun at one time or another. I think it helps me remain calm and level headed on investigations. It also makes sure that I always jump into a fighting stance when I'm startled….
Robb: I know that this has a been a real problem with GHI. The only OG's original ghost hunters…. Part of the problem is that life on the road for weeks at a clip can be tough. That isn't to say that it isn't a great opportunity, but I think some people underestimate how grueling it can be.
Plus, being away from family and friends takes its toll. It's a good thing Barry is very resilient and I'm just stubborn. Laura: The loss of Dustin Pari from the team is quite a shock, are there any other surprises for the new season that you can let us in on? Robb: Dustin's departure was tough. I miss the guy on a daily basis. Barry does a great job stepping into that spot.
As far as other surprises…Hmmm…Well, Scott Tepperman joins the team. Susan and Karl join us from GHA. A couple more familiar faces leave before the show ends this run, and one returns.
Is that cryptic enough for you? Robb believes that martial arts help him to remain calm during investigations. In his short time in the spotlight, Robb had to burden his fair share of controversies. Robb was accused of assault by his ex-girlfriend Jackie Sydney.
She blamed Robb for being a womanizer, a cheater, and a manipulator. Jackie also claimed that Rob had forced himself on her. The website is entitled robbdemarestcheats.
While Rob did admit to cheating in , he denied the claims of rape. Rob reached out to the reporter who had published the initial story and clarified his part of the story with evidence. As a result, the story was pulled and Robb was freed of charges of rape. They would explain away weird vibes by finding excessive levels of energy in certain locations.
Or, they would test reflections and angles to find real-world explanations for the creepy goings-on in their supposedly haunted sites. However, according to Redditor, BosskHogg , the crew would sometimes pretend real events were actual hauntings. The example Hogg gives is that of a "disembodied voice" demanding the investigators "get out" of his haunt.
According to the Redditor, everyone on the set knew full-well the voice was really just the property manager screaming at homeless people sad but they pretended it was a paranormal incident and included it in the show anyway.
Given the alleged lies and hacks the TAPS team reportedly resorted to in order to create their supernatural encounters, is it any wonder real-life paranormal investigators have written off the show as a bunch of hokum?
Parapsychologist Loyd Auerbach accused celebrity ghost hunters of stealing away the majority of his and his colleagues' income. Auerbach said that most parapsychologists actually make their money giving lectures, but the popularity of haunting shows led to their stars being invited to lecture instead. Similarly, investigator Dr. Barry Taff said investigative teams without their own TV shows were left in the dust after these reality shows became a hit.
Homeowners looking to have their homes investigated were much more interested in having the TAPS team and other famous crews hunt ghosts in their buildings. Grant Wilson was a producer and co-lead investigator of Ghost Hunters. He had been there from the beginning.
So, it was a super big deal when he decided to leave the series in Fans weren't sure who was leaving the show, they simply knew a huge announcement was going to be made. Wilson did not disappoint. Wilson's big reveal led the winter finale episode to its highest ratings in 15 months. The episode drew over one million viewers , a growth of 36 percent growth over its last winter finale the year before.
There were still 20 episodes to go in the season when Wilson announced his departure. But he didn't sever ties with the show entirely. He was featured in at least six more episodes of Ghost Hunters International before officially leaving the show. And, of course, he would return years later, much to fans' delight. If faking encounters and lying about their locations weren't bad enough, at least one member of the crew admitted he'd never actually seen a ghost in over 20 years of investigating.
To be fair, Steve Gonsalves didn't say he didn't believe in the supernatural, but he couldn't exactly confirm the veracity of ghost sightings either. Gonsalves said he had seen a lot of things that he simply couldn't explain, like moving objects and weird smells and noises.
However, he in all his years with the TAPS team, he had never seen an actual apparition. Why did he continue to hunt ghosts after so many dead ends? To attempt to answer questions about death and the after-life, of course. Gonsalves believed it was human curiosity to be drawn to the paranormal and he felt it his duty to answer life's toughest questions. While not every TAPS team member has actually witnessed a supernatural entity, Adam Berry revealed that not only had he seen a ghost in real-life, but he had been utterly terrorized by them as a child.
Berry claimed to have had many paranormal encounters growing up. He said there was a creature that haunted his childhood home, almost like a ghost dog scratching at the walls. Berry said he had seen white figures in a field in Gettysburg, accompanied by the sounds of yelling and gunshots.
These events upset him deeply. According to Berry, his many paranormal encounters were what led him to eventually become a respected paranormal investigator. You might assume after so many years the TAPS team would run out of new places to investigate.
However, producer and co-lead-investigator Jason Hawes said that's just not true.
