Jason Hawes, born on 27 December 1971 in New York, is an American plumber, paranormal investigator, and a TV personality. At the age of 20, Jason had his first paranormal experience, when his then-girlfriend, a Reiki practitioner, manipulated his life force energy.

Jason Hawes founded the Rhode Island Paranormal Society (RIPS) in 1990 as a support group for people who underwent paranormal experiences. However, after meeting Grant Wilson, he re-named it to The Atlantic Paranormal Society (TAPS). Jason went on to host one of the most popular paranormal tv series ‘Ghost Hunters.’ Read on to find out what the life and net worth of a ghost hunter is like.

Thankfully though, she was able to recover and is now happily living her life with her husband and kids without any complications. The couple even stated that this scary incident helped them get closer and made their relationship even stronger.
