Ghost Hunters Academy “The New Class”

Thursday, June 3rd, 2010

Medium Lynne Olson Reviews the Season Two Premiere 

 Season two started off with a great location and eight newly minted cadets all vying for a coveted spot on one of the TAPS teams. The new GHA team featured four women and four men who got thrown in headfirst at Waverly Hills Sanatorium just outside Louisville, Kentucky.

The female cadets were Natalie Poole, Michelle Tate, Rosalyn Bown and Vera Martinez. The male cadets were Eric Baldino, Adam Berry, Dan Hwang and Brett McGinnis.

TAPS founder Jason Hawes was on hand to greet the cadets and laid out the five qualities all TAPS members needed to have as skepticism, technical knowledge, honesty, composure and patience. Steve explained that the format had been tweaked a bit in order to provide each cadet with more investigative time and one-on-one instruction. Jason announced one cadet would be eliminated each week.

Tango introduced the cadets in their personal equipment kits. Each kit contained an EMF meter, DVR, camera and digital thermometer. The cadets were told to take care of their equipment because if lost it would not be replaced.

I was a bit puzzled when historian Shirlene Edwards stated that Waverly Hills functioned as a tuberculosis sanatorium from 1926 to 1982. According to the official Waverly Hills Historical Society web site, it is true that the current structure was opened in 1926, but an earlier more modest two story tuberculosis hospital opened it’s doors at the same location on July 26, 1910. As TB ran rampant in the area the existing building was started in 1924 and opened up to serve more patients October 17, 1926. Waverly stopped functioning as a TB hospital in 1961. In 1962 the building was reopened as the geriatric WoodHaven Medical Services facility until the state shut the old folks home down in 1980. Not sure why the 18 years of elder care was lumped in with the TB hospital era or why the first 15 years of more modest operation as a TB hospital was completely ignored.

Waverly Hills Co-Owner Tina Mattingly conducted the walkthrough, highlighting hot spots such as room 502, the morgue/autopsy room and the infamous body chute. In each location she briefly described past haunting activity such as sounds, smells, shadow people, EVPS, shapes or unexplained mists. Tina recounted a personal experience of seeing the shadow of a tall man in a doorway late one night when she was in the building alone. Beyond the shadow she saw a small white dog in the middle of the hallway. The dog apparition simply faded away. The existence of a homeless man who walked the halls of Waverly with his dog when it was an abandoned building is confirmed by historical record. What wasn’t shared in the episode is that this poor man and his dog were found murdered in a Waverly elevator. I happened to get clear psychic glimpse of the murdered companions when I was at Waverly Hills last month (May, 2010) and the dog in question was a small white mutt. So I am fairly certain the experience Tina shared with the GHA cadets was an encounter with the same homeless man and his dog.

Tango and Steve split up the cadets, Tango’s group setting up cameras, Steve’s establishing command central.

Lights out started with Steve, Eric, Michelle, Rosalyn and Dan investigating outside room 502 where a pregnant nurse named Mary once hung herself. Steve made a point of showing his team that by just moving his hand more quickly he could artificially increase the numbers on his EMF meter. Steve set a DVR on the floor next to room 502 to record as his group worked. I liked the compassion both Eric and Steve showed in trying to engage Nurse Mary.

Unfortunately Mary was not in a space to appreciate their concern. For some reason she found the presence of the GHA crew disturbing. I saw her hanging back in a corner of the bathroom that backs room 502. She was distraught and kept asking the group, “What do you want?” and asking them to “Just go away!” She wanted to be left alone.

As the GHA cadets tried to engage Mary they heard a wailing cry that shortly repeated itself. Steve asked whatever had caused the cry to repeat it. The same wail was heard for a third time. Steve and his team decided to walk toward the sound.

Dave Tango Talks Tourette’s, Benefit Dinner and New Ghost Guide Role

Saturday, November 28th, 2009

Aaron Sagers

Dave Tango is well known for his ghost hunting fame, but it’s fitting the Linden, NJ, native is a trained illusionist since his life these past four years has been filled with magic. But it’s no trick. At 24, Tango has transitioned from prestidigitation to paranormal investigation and taken the lead on the new cable show Ghost Hunters Academy despite his lifelong battle with Tourette Syndrome, a disease which he’s raising awareness for with a benefit dinner in Westfield, NJ, this Sunday.

Ghost Hunters Academy, airing Wednesdays at 10 p.m., EST, on the Syfy channel, is the latest spinoff of Ghost Hunters, the paranormal reality-TV series that draws about three million viewers each week. Recruited by Jason Hawes and Grant Wilson, co-founders of the Rhode Island-based group TAPS (The Atlantic Paranormal Society), around which Ghost Hunters is based, Tango has been with the main show since Season Two in 2005.  But what began as an “investigator-in-training” position led to a regular investigator title and now to his leadership role on “Academy,” where he’s training young cadets to be ghost hunters.

Along with friend and fellow investigator Steve Gonsalves, 34, Tango travels the country in an R.V. with five Academy recruits to haunted hot spots. Since the Nov. 11 premiere, the team has visited the Eastern State Penitentiary and the Revolutionary War landmark Fort Mifflin in Philadelphia, and the battleship USS North Carolina in Wilmington, N.C. So far Tango’s new endeavor is already showing signs of being a hit after debuting with 2.07 million total viewers, making it Syfy’s most successful reality series premiere in nearly two years.

Tango says the real success isn’t judged by ratings but by the help he can provide to scared owners of haunted locations, and by the awareness he can raise for sufferers of the neurological disorder. Tango will do the latter by joining his father Bruce, a former Elizabeth police officer, for the third annual benefit for the New Jersey Center for Tourette Syndrome on Nov. 29 at the Temple Emanu-EL in Westfield. Featuring performances by comedian Kevin Meaney and singer Kristen Sellers, Tango will appear at the event with Ghost Hunter pals Gonsalves, Dustin Pari and Joe Chin.

While taking a break from leading an investigation with fans at the Ripley’s Believe It or Not museum in St. Augustine, Fla., Tango sat down to discuss the paranormal, leadership duties and growing up with Tourette Syndrome. For a young guy experiencing so much success, Tango is remarkably grounded and gracious, and most of what he says includes an element of self-effacing humor.

Q: How did a magician from New Jersey get on a hit cable show, and then eventually get his own series?

TANGO: I had my own little group in Jersey and we contacted TAPS because we had a place that had potential. They came and let me and a friend be a guest on an episode. I just got along with everyone, and two weeks later I got a call and they asked if I wanted to give it a trial run … I haven’t messed up since then, I guess!

Q: I guess not. So what is the purpose of Academy?

TANGO: Our mission to find the next ghost hunter for one of our shows.  It’s a tedious process … it’s really important because we’re showing how different it [paranormal investigating] is from the show. They’ll see Ghost Hunters and think we’re just in a place for 20 minutes because that’s what they see on TV. We’re in there for hours and hours. It’s really nitty gritty, and you sit down and stare.

Steve and Tango from “Ghost Hunters Academy” on being paranormal professors

Aaron Sagers

Ghost Hunters Academy Steve and Tango

 Steve Gonsalves and Dave Tango

Combine an education of science, philosophy, psychology and history with a little electrical and plumbing vo-tech training and the result is a well-rounded, multi-faceted curriculum that many institutions of higher learning would be proud of. Add in ghost hunting and it’s the school of The Atlantic Paranormal Society (TAPS), also known as Ghost Hunters Academy.

Ghost Hunters Academy is the second spin-off from the popular Ghost Hunters brand, which began in 2004 with the flagship show starring plumbers Jason Hawes and Grant Wilson. Following the 2008 travel-themed Ghost Hunters International, the new Academy is a unique reality-TV paranormal series which focuses on training and selecting new members for the TAPS team. 

Led by Ghost Hunters investigators Steve Gonsalves, 34, and Dave Tango, 24, the group is comprised of five college-aged “cadets” who travel around the country in an RV to favorite haunted hotspots visited on the main show such as the St. Augustine Lighthouse in Florida, Eastern State Penitentiary in Philadelphia, Pa., the battleship USS North Carolina in Wilmington, N.C., and the Buffalo Central Terminal in upstate New York. 

During the initial six-episode run of the show, which begins at the Revolutionary War-era Fort Mifflin in Philadelphia, Gonsalves and Tango test and occasionally eliminate recruits who can’t live up to the TAPS standards. Along with being a shot across the bow at the other college-focused show Paranormal State on the A&E Network, Academy is a chance for the Ghost Hunters and TAPS team to educate fledgling investigators about what goes into the often-tedious, several-night waiting game of ghost hunting. 

Gonsalves and Tango, who both had their own paranormal investigative groups before joining TAPS, spoke over the phone about their new roles as leaders on the show, and what it is like to bring their experiences to the amateur recruits. 

Q: What makes for a good cadet and potential TAPS member?

GONSALVES:  The passion – that it’s there, it’s in them and that they love it and want to do it forever.  If you join our team, we don’t investigate in the same capacity as any other team on the planet. We’re much more involved with much more equipment. We do multiple investigations a week where most teams do one a month. If your heart’s not completely in it, you’re going to fizzle out after six, seven, eight months.
