Ghost Hunters

Ghost Hunters is an American reality TV series about the paranormal that first aired on Syfy on October 6, 2004. The show follows Jason Hawes and Grant Wilson, paranormal investigators who explore locations rumored to be haunted. Initially, they balanced their ghost-hunting activities with their day jobs as plumbers for Roto-Rooter. However, the show’s popularity has shifted their focus primarily to the series, though they remain honorary employees and occasionally take on plumbing jobs when possible.

This series is not connected to the original Ghosthunters show from 1996 by Inca Productions for the Discovery Channel. The concept was adapted by Pilgrim Films & Television in the U.S. to create Ghost Hunters. The only connection between the two versions is Ian Cashmore, who hosted the UK/Europe show and initially introduced the U.S. version but decided not to continue with the American project after filming the promotional material.
