Early Life and Background
Born on December 27, 1971, in Canandaigua, New York, Jason Hawes’ early life experiences played a significant role in shaping his career path. In 1979, his family relocated to Warwick, Rhode Island. It was around the age of 20, that Hawes started experiencing paranormal phenomena, which he attributes to an encounter where his then-girlfriend, a Reiki practitioner, manipulated his life force energy. This experience led him to seek guidance from paranormal researcher John Zaffis, who informed Hawes that he was becoming sensitive to metaphysical energies. In 1990, Hawes established the Rhode Island Paranormal Society (RIPS) as a support network for individuals with paranormal experiences. He later co-founded The Atlantic Paranormal Society (TAPS), which gained national recognition through Ghost Hunters. Prior to his television career, Jason Hawes worked as a plumber, a profession he shared with his TAPS co-founder Grant Wilson.
