Say what you want but when the economy goes bad, TAPS bucks the trend and raises the price! Nice guys! Their "Gold Package" went from $175 to $199. This is how they are going to keep them coming to The Spalding Inn – more Boot Camps with increased prices! So far, the only sell out at the Inn has been for their recent Boot Camp and this place only has 36 rooms (they apparently just opened the Carriage House so for the last Boot Camp had even less rooms available). Remember they also have to house Boot Camp staff as well out of those available rooms as well. Pssst….. someone tell them that the name of their show is Ghost Hunters not Ghost Hunter and the name of their place is actually The Spalding Inn and not just the Spalding Inn as posted on Jason's MySpace page (notice the ad in the beginning. Why?). Love the addition of "the Haunted Spalding Inn" too! They just don't stop. They keep it coming. Here's the notice from Jason's page from Monday, June 8, 2009.

I'm waiting for the Diamond package:
Diamond Package: $500.

Update: The Joe Chin speech has been cancelled.
So, yeah…that's the one I'm holding out for…

Close you eyes and fantasize with me for a few seconds. . .SV posters manage to buy out one of the events. We go through the motions and finally arrive at the moment we all have been waiting for: the Q & A session following the class. What question would you ask?

How long was the piece of string?
Which brand of cell phone did you use to set off the K2?
Does J still need to eat green olives?
Which brand of ghost eating batteries do you use so that I may avoid that brand in the future?

I would ask Jason, "Can you please explain to me the main differences between you and Kenneth Lay?"

How does a rattling doorknob and an unexplained breeze in a closed room be used as evidence that constitutes a haunting for The Spalding Inn as seen in the "Crossover" episode?
If I stay at The Spalding Inn and a ghost steals $100 from my wallet, will I be reimbursed? If not, then why not? Either there are no ghosts at The Spalding Inn or my personal experience is not being taken as "evidence" of the paranormal. Which is it? And if my personal experience is not being taken as evidence…then why is yours?
If you enter a home or establishment with the intent of "debunking" the claims, then why is it that whenever you hear a noise, it is automatically assumed to be paranormal in nature? Why is it not assumed that there are very natural reasons for the sounds and only after you dismiss all of those possibilities that you even consider using the "paranormal" as a possibility?

Here's a few:
Why should we believe you?
Where is all this "hawesome" evidence you've promised every season?
What is your intepretation of the word "integrity"?
How do you actually keep a straight face?
Why is it exactly that Brian, Donna, Andy, etc. left TAPS? (please dispense with the family/illness theory)
By the way, how are Brian, Donna, Andy and all your previous "good" friends who have left?
Why do you feel the need to bully everyone into your way or the highway?
Exactly who are all these "unknowns" you claim are working for you at NASA, MIT, etc.?
Weren't you taught growing up in the cold winters of NY/RI about the iceberg/cold spot theory?
In what state are you actually the licensed plumbers you claim to be?
Why aren't your wives listed as owners of The Spalding Inn (they are not Members of Grason Spalding, LLC)?
Just why did you both insulate yourselves from everyone, including your wives, in that LLC?
Why do you think I don't believe a word you say?
Why are you throwing me out of here?
Sorry, I just couldn't resist those last few questions but it would be an interesting part of the puzzle to know the answers!

To Jason: Why don't you ever mention your wife on twitter but make 50+ posts about Kris Williams?
Why don't you learn how to spell and use proper grammar?
To Grant: When are you going to get to drive the SUV?
How much yearly do you spend on fishing line?

*Revenant in the role of Jason*
Alicat's Q & A with Jason:
Why should we believe you? Because I tell you to.
Where is all this "hawesome" evidence you've promised every season? Every show. You just choose not to see it.
What is your intepretation of the word "integrity"? There's a theory that it means me. I am intergrity…what are you?
How do you actually keep a straight face? Like this…
Why is it exactly that Brian, Donna, Andy, etc. left TAPS? (please dispense with the family/illness theory) Family and illness. You're not the boss of me.
By the way, how are Brian, Donna, Andy and all your previous "good" friends who have left? They are all good because we are all good friends. Everything is all good.
Why do you feel the need to bully everyone into your way or the highway? Hit the highway!
Exactly who are all these "unknowns" you claim are working for you at NASA, MIT, etc.? Security!
Weren't you taught growing up in the cold winters of NY/RI about the iceberg/cold spot theory? I ain't no scientist, little lady. I'm a paranormal investigator.
In what state are you actually the licensed plumbers you claim to be? Security!
Why aren't your wives listed as owners of The Spalding Inn (they are not Members of Grason Spalding, LLC)? Where's that security?
Just why did you both insulate yourselves from everyone, including your wives, in that LLC? Someone is getting fired! Where is that security!
Why do you think I don't believe a word you say? Because you're a non-believer! Security!!!
Why are you throwing me out of here? Because I'm me and you're you.
*turns to Grant and does the fist bump* On to the next…

Revenant,
To which I reply I AM WOMAN, HEAR ME ROAR ! Then I call my lawyer and file an harassment suit for calling me a little lady because I am me and you are you! (Complete with exhibits which will include the 50+ posts/pictures of Kris W.)
P.S. How's that bruise on your upper arm doing for not defending me!

Well, most of us here normally would defend you from the security during the Q&A, but…after the Q&A there is talk of punch and cookies. We're not missing out on the punch and cookies. I mean seriously…punch and cookies!

Fine! Just be that way but remember, there's something in that punch and I don't mean the one in the shoulder. It makes people believe in the TAPS philosophy hook, line and sinker. Guess I'll go down the road and take my brownies with me and my pals Hannah, Oubliette, Mary and the other ladies. Ready?  You guys! You pay $199 to get punch and cookies and that's all it takes?

For $50 more, you can get the ghost happy ending package……

Yes, the inline pics problem appears to be an issue with this version of the forum software we use here. Uploading to a photo hosting site and supplying a link works better.
