I’ve mentioned once or twice here on Indie Paranormal that I am something of an amateur ghost hunter. Every time I tell this to someone, I get a similar response. “Do you watch that one show? Y’know, that one show with the plumbers?”
I can assume that they mean Ghost Hunters on SyFy, so I always say yes. Regardless of whether or not the evidence is legit, the cast is always engaging. I watch the show for the people almost more than I watch it for the ghosts (or “ghosts”) these days! It also doesn’t hurt that it’s conveniently shown on Wednesday. Who doesn’t love celebrating Hump Day with a dose of the paranormal?
Since we started watching the show, my mother and sister and I have started taking mini vacations we fondly call Ghost Trips. We base our trips around haunted locations, sleeping, dining and chilling with spirits in haunted inns, restaurants and museums. Normally, we’ll have the camera ready just in case; you never know when Casper will make an appearance!
Last week, Grant Wilson, one of the lead investigators on Ghost Hunters, announced that he would be leaving after a few more episodes. Even though he’ll never see it, I just wanted to use this post as an opportunity to thank Grant. Without his work and lead investigator Jason Hawes's work on the show, a really great part of my relationship with my mother and sister wouldn’t exist. They both helped spark in me an interest in paranormal investigation that I have a feeling will follow me throughout the rest of my life.
Also, I might’ve had a crush on Grant once upon a time. Ahem. Most normal college girls fawned over indie music gods, but when have I ever been normal?
That aside, thank you for everything, Grant, and I wish you all the best! If anyone else here at Indie Paranormal watches the show, I’d love to chat about it in the comments.
