Note from tNe: I can no longer provide anything from SyFy networks promptly as the network itself has changed scheduling; I am now 3 hours behind everyone else and these slower preset encodings take up to 4 hours to complete. Posting the following morning of a SyFy broadcast is the best I can do. This is ONLY SyFy broadcasts; all other networks are still on the same earlier schedule here.
Plumbers by day - ghost hunters by night. Jason Hawes and Grant Wilson are two plumbers working for Roto-Rooter in New England. They are also the co-founders of TAPS - The Atlantic Paranormal Society - a paranormal research team which investigates hauntings and other strange occurrences. This one-hour weekly show (dubbed a "docu-soap" by the Sci-Fi Channel) follows their investigations from first contact through the gathering of evidence, and to the reveal of that evidence to the client. Every week Jason, Grant, and their team investigate a new case, from poltergeists who throw a child's toys around an attic to a lighthouse whose late keeper still welcomes visitors. This team of moonlighting ghost hunters are our first and last defense against uninvited paranormal visitations.
Cousins Luke and Chelsea purchase a hospital that was abandoned for 44 years and want to turn it into a bed and breakfast; their plans come to a screeching halt as strange things begin to happen soon after starting renovations.

The team comes to the aid of a single mother and her young son who are afraid that spirits in their Victorian house in Willimantic, Conn., may be a threat to their safety; Kristen investigates claims of a child's voice in an upstairs bedroom.
