Ghost Hunters, SCI FI’s popular reality series, will return to the Channel for an exciting fourth season. America’s favorite paranormal plumbers, Jason Hawes and Grant Wilson, will deliver 13 episodes of spine-tingling investigations when the show returns next year. Upcoming episodes will feature the intrepid Ghost Hunters exploring a chilling range of bizarre occurrences that will challenge the most hard-boiled of skeptics. In an added bonus for viewers, the Ghost Hunters will round out the third season with six extra episodes set to premiere this spring, and an additional six slated for debut this fall. From investigations of stateside hauntings to a tour of Jack the Ripper’s London and an exploration of the eerie Lisheen Ruins of Ireland, Jason and Grant leave no metaphysical stone unturned. The 2006 season of Ghost Hunters ranked as the highest-rated and most-watched season in HH ratings and all key demos. Season three also marked the first time audience numbers in the key P18-49 and P25-54 demos averaged over 1 million viewers throughout its run.

SCI FI further announced the 2nd annual Ghost Hunters Live special on Halloween night. The first Ghost Hunters Live, a one-of-a-kind, 6-hour investigative television event, tripled the viewing audience for the time period. From 11 pm on All Hallows’ Eve to 5 am the following morning, this supernatural all-nighter kept audiences on the edge of their seat, reporting paranormal sightings via the live interactive “panic button.”

The one-hour weekly reality series follows a group of real-life “ghostbusters” as they investigate haunted houses and establishments throughout the country. Enjoying record-high ratings throughout its series run, Ghost Hunters has featured speaking entities, mysteriously moving furniture, ghostly visages and a healthy dose of squabbling within the investigating team. Being scared has never been so much fun!

Produced in association with Craig Piligian’s Pilgrim Films and Television (American Chopper, Dirty Jobs, The Ultimate Fighter), the Ghost Hunters are committed to the search for the truth – or the truly bizarre. Piligian and Thomas Thayer serve as executive producers.

After watching a couple of webisodes on Sci-Fi, I’m not surprised by this show’s success. I loved the episode with the Eastern State Penitentiary. They weren’t sure what they saw, but I enjoy their scientific approach to proving/disproving their cases.

The oldest of these ghost ships is the Griffon, launched in 1678 by the early French explorer and trader La Salle. The ship vanished on the return leg of its maiden voyage loaded with furs for trade. No trace of the ship was ever found until recently, when a possible candidate for the wreck was found by divers in the form of a very old hand-carved mast sticking out of the muck. In any case, sailors have seen a ghostly apparition of the Griffon under full sail on several occasions crossing lake Michigan. At least 10 more modern ghost ships are occasionally sighted plying the lakes, and.even the giant 729 foot Edmund Fitzgerald was sighted a decade after its infamous sinking.

Ghost ships aren’t the only things haunting the Great Lakes, which are considered to be the most treacherous waters in the world. The ghost of a crewman nicknamed “Grandpa” quietly follows divers as they explore the wreckage of the Emperor.

Phantom vehicles are considered an urban legend in the scientific community. Despite this, people from all over the world have reported seeing ghostly vehicles driving on the highway, on bridges, residential streets, etc. The excerpt below is from a young woman who had a very unsettling experience on a secluded Long Island road.

I was driving down the road, and noticed 2 headlights heading up onto my tail feather at a very fast speed. Because I am a girl, and because I was the only one in the car, and because I was ALONE…my heart began to race.

I had always heard these terrifying stories about rapists bumping cars of women down dark roads just to get them to pull over. I feared that this was what was going to happen, or that this speed demon would simply pass by me. I hoped so anyway.

Read about this creepy tale here. According to the author, this isn’t her first experience with a ghost car. The strange thing is that it happens to her every 3 months.

The Alamo is considered to be one of the most haunted sites in the nation. Considering the heavy loss of life that occurred there, it’s no wonder that some refuse to leave. I had the pleasure of visiting this place back in 1982. During that time, I accidentally got separated from my family.

Instead of staying where I was so they could eventually find me, I wandered around the grounds, looking at the paintings and the artifacts. If I had encountered a ghost, I never realized it. I just kept walking until I met up with my family.

In sharp contrast to my experience, others have encountered the ghosts of The Alamo. One of the most notorious is that of a girl, dressed in white, who is seen looking out what appears to be a second story window. When the visitors walk inside the building, they realize that there is no second floor and the window is twenty feet above the floor.
