Press Release Episode Description. "Premieres Wednesday, September 7 @ 9/8c.
"Forty thousand square feet. Gothic architecture. Former girls' boarding school. Once the house where the cult-classic TV show Dark Shadows was filmed.
"The owner of the Seaview Terrace in Newport, Rhode Island calls on the TAPS team to investigate the scary happenings in her home for the first-ever paranormal investigation of the mansion where the gothic soap opera was filmed. First there was a male voice in the hall saying, `Hello, is that you?' Then there was a drastic temperature change in the 3rd floor tower. The final straw was when she reached for a door handle only to see it slowly turn on its own. Jason, Grant and the team are about to get to the bottom of all the bangs, footsteps and knocks and encounter the loudest evidence they've ever heard."
Series Information: "Jason Hawes and Grant Wilson -- plumbers by day, Ghost Hunters by night. Jason and Grant head up TAPS (The Atlantic Paranormal Society), a close-knit organization of volunteer paranormal researchers -- ordinary people who investigate and attempt to debunk claims of otherworldly activity."
More information about the episode will be in the next SG #122 print issue.
