Hartford, CT Examiner: Ghost hunting dog joins the TAPS cast on 'Ghost Hunters'
A ghost hunting dog joins the reality show, “Ghost Hunters” this week and she is ready to find the things that are there, but people cannot see. Maddie joins TAPS for the first time this week at the Alex Johnson Hotel. Her perception is helpful to the “Ghost Hunters” investigation.

Maddie, the ghost hunting dog, has gone through special training for this field of paranormal work. This is similar to dogs that train to help the blind or disabled. Another field that dogs senses are utilized is in forensics or drug investigations. Their sense of smell is much more developed than humans

This week Maddie goes through this hotel with the TAPS team members, Jay and Grant and she does prove to sense a presence that is not seen. When she won’t enter an area, this tells the team that something is there. Maddie on the job could eventually lead the team right to the hot spots in the investigation, without having to roam through large buildings looking for the paranormal activity.

Connecticut fans of the show “Ghost Hunters” can tune in on Connecticut’s Sci-Fi Channel on Wednesday nights. The new episode airs at 9pm EST, but previous episodes are available from 7pm until 9pm EST.
