TAPS heads over to Buffalo, New York, to investigate an old train station known as the Buffalo Central Terminal. The terminal was built in 1929 and began running on the same year. It was operation for about 50 years when it closed in 1979. In the station's prime, the station would have at least 200 trains passing by the station in an average day. The terminal was used in World War II to transport several American troops, as well as German POWs. The station's main office tower is 14 stories high, and the length of the entire complex is over 500 square feet. After the terminal was closed, there were a few private investors bought the station, notably Tony Fedele, who bought the station in 1979, to which this investment on the station was claimed to be his "demise". In later years after Fedele left he project, the station went abandoned for several years, and had been vandalized greatly, causing hazards to people who go inside the station. The station is currently undergoing through an extensive renovation and restoration work, the which is claimed to be the reason of the recent spike in paranormal activity in the station.
Claims of paranormal activity include: Residual type hauntings like witnesses claiming to have seen two ghostly apparitions in the third floor standing by a water fountain, and when these witnesses went near these apparitions, the apparitions vanished, including the water fountain they were drinking off of. There have also been claims that the spirit of Tony Fedele, former formal owner of the terminal who tried to renovate and save the the satiation but failed, still haunts this terminal; Tony's demise is blamed on his passion to renovate the Terminal. A female apparition is reported to haunt the mail room . Also, it is claimed that a German speaking ghost haunts the lower levels of the terminal. And several other types of haunting (both residual and intelligent) and strange apparitions are also reported. Other claims include: Cold spots, extreme feelings of dread, strange noises and voices, and feelings of being watched.
Ghost Hunters is an hour documentary-type show that follows a team of Paranormal investigators in the field of researching ghostly activities. The show follows a group of paranormal investigators from a well known organization/society known as TAPS (The Atlantic Paranormal Society), whose founding members, Jason Hawes and Grant Wilson are also plumbers by day, working for Roto-Rooter in New England.
The show's/TAPS format goes as follows: The team either gets contacted or are drawn to investigate a location. They then go to that location and gather information about the location's history and past claims of hauntings, and try to debunk and/or recreate most/all of the claims, they also record all types of situations in all types of ways, from thermal imaging, EMF detection, still pictures, to EVP recordings. Then TAPS members analyze what they recorded and what they found, and then reveal their findings to Jason and Grant. Jason and Grant then meet with the client and go over any evidence that TAPS managed to find. Grant and Jason then tell them whether they believe the location is haunted or not, and if the location is haunted they try to help them anyway they can, from blessing the house to bringing a demonologist to exorcise the location'.
