The International Ghost Hunt is Back On

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Prime Time, Reality, Sci-Fi/Horror, Cable, Gossip

If you noticed a dismal lack of spooky thrills and chills this Wednesday evening, it’s probably because no new episode of Ghost Hunters aired to put us in touch with the paranormal. Sadly, the show will not return with fresh fear until September. In the meantime, you’ll just have to remain content with the show’s spin-off: Ghost Hunters International.

This European version of the show premiered on the SciFi Channel in January, and though it scored the highest premiere ratings any reality show on SciFi has ever seen (including its parent program), only seven episodes aired before the fourth season of Ghost Hunters premiered to sweep International back under the rug. Now, the original is out of new episodes. It’s time for the B crew to shine again.
