Hawes, Gonsalves, and Tango, all members of the paranormal investigation group T.A.P.S., which Hawes founded, now founding members of the United Paranormal Research Organization (UPRO), respond to calls from investigators who need help with their cases in investigating reportedly haunted locations in the United States. Using a strict methodology and much of the technology from T.A.P.S. and Ghost Hunters, Hawes, Gonsalves and Tango investigate private residences while aiming to support a national and global network of paranormal investigators.

Premise

The T.A.P.S. group helped to create "United Paranormal Research Organization (UPRO)", which aims to be a global paranormal investigation organization that keeps smaller, local organizations connected. The show features T.A.P.S. efforts to support fellow researchers through that organization at a national level.[1][2] Hawes, who also produces the series, has stated the intent of the show differs from Ghost Hunters in that: "... you're able to see us connecting with local researchers that are bringing us in on cases they've hit a road block on. ... It's about getting back to basics, keeping it real, and truly helping people."[3][4][5]
