Back in March, I shared how incredible it was to welcome Jason Hawes and his team down to the historic Old St. John’s County Jail, here in St. Augustine Florida, helping them lay out a strategic game plan for the location after the Boos, Brews and BBQ crew had truly stirred up the energy the week prior.

Well, the wait is officially over and the full investigation video was just released. Viewers and paranormal fans are already calling this one of the team’s absolute best investigations to date because of the sheer volume and intensity of the activity they encountered inside the walls of the Jail.

While I didn’t investigate alongside them for this specific lockdown, I did sit down for a brief interview featured in the episode to share some history and context on what makes this location so uniquely intense. As I noted in the interview, the Old Jail has a profound, heavy energy that simply cannot be ignored—and it has a way of making its presence known in many, many ways.

If you want to see exactly what Jason's team caught and why the Old Jail's spiritual waters were so buzzed, the episode is streaming right now on YouTube. Click the link below and watch this incredible investigation of the Old St. Johns County Jail.

This past week, I had the incredible opportunity to join Jason Hawes and his team for an investigation at the historic (and famously active) old St. John’s County Jail. It was an honor to not only share a few experiences from the location but also to help aid the team in designing a strategic game plan for the investigation. Walking those halls alongside someone who has dedicated decades to the field was a truly unforgettable experience.

For those who may not know, Jason Hawes (born December 27, 1971) is best known as the co-founder of The Atlantic Paranormal Society (TAPS) and a longtime leading figure in paranormal television. He rose to prominence as a star and co-producer of Syfy's Ghost Hunters, which ran for eleven seasons before concluding its initial run in 2016. After the show's revival on A&E in 2019, Jason embarked on a new chapter, stepping away to lead his own team alongside Ghost Hunters alumni Steve Gonsalves and Dave Tango in Travel Channel's Ghost Nation. While that series concluded in 2021, it marked an important period of creative independence for Jason, allowing him to continue investigating on his own terms.

Interestingly, the St. John’s County Jail had been stirred up just prior to Jason's arrival. I had been investigating the previous week at the Old Jail with the Hit Squad of Boos Brews and BBQ as they wrapped up their 10th episode with some heart pounding moments as the energy was anything but quiet! The Boos, Brews and BBQs team's investigation had truly chummed the spiritual waters, leaving the location buzzing with activity. When Jason came in a week later, he stepped into that heightened environment and discovered some incredibly interesting activity of his own—further proving that sometimes the groundwork laid by one team sets the stage for something even more compelling.

Today, Jason remains deeply active in the field—pursuing independent investigations, collaborating with fellow researchers, and continuing the mission he helped build decades ago: bringing credibility, compassion, and methodical research to paranormal investigation. Being able to work alongside him on this investigation was a reminder of why his approach has resonated with so many for so long.

Looking forward to sharing more from our time at the St. John's County Jail. Stay tuned.

We had a blast at the Old Jail in St. Augustine… captured some pretty awesome footage, had a deep history tour of the property with the mighty Fran with Paranormal Investigations of America, and of course had lots of laughs!

March has been a busy month hunting down ghostly entities👻This past weekend, we had the opportunity to join the team from Boos, Brews and BBQ—hosted by the the coolest of cats, Barry Kerch of Shinedown, BBQ master Ty Sherrell, and John Guarnieri of the Spear Talk podcast— for their 10th episode.

We spent the night evening investigating The Old St. John's County Jail. Between exploring the haunted history and diving into some events, it was an experience I'll never forget. These guys were a lot of fun working with.

Make sure to tune in when this episode airs to witness one of the spookiest jails in the South! 🍖🔦
