Well if you're a die hard Ghost Hunter fan you wont have to wait for long before the Mid Season Premiere airs. Come June 12 th,  9/8 c the members of the Taps team will be back in the saddle again. Touting themselves as "Televisions #1 paranormal reality series" we can only speculate as to whether they will live up to the billing. In the past viewers as well as TPB readers have conveyed the shows have lost something in the years to follow their initial success. We've pondered the whys and what ifs, and what abouts no end to try and figure out if Ghost Hunters could improve on their failing popularity. Many of you, our loyal and most brilliant readers shared your thoughts and here's what some of you had to say..:

1. Eva ThomasDecember 7, 2012 at 7:13 AMI have noticed a huge difference in Ghost Hunters lately. For me it just does not have the zing it did in the past. It is like the zest of doing the job is a little lost, if that makes sense. 
2. Richard C RyderOctober 4, 2012 at 9:15 AM I think that the show is better without Grant so far... with that being said, I wonder who will step up and take his place. I think the shows so far this season seem to be more based on the roots of when their show started. I like what they've done lately and think that they have had some incredible finds, especially last night's show.
3. AnonymousFebruary 20, 2013 at 11:23 AM Honestly, I can't watch the show anymore. We are left with two very pompous and conceited individuals,(Steve and Jason) and the show just seems so empty. I was growing old of the show anyway, "Hey, did you hear that?" "Is anybody there?" "What was that?" etc. I've done some growing up since the show began and it seems so lame now. Grant was a class act, the genuine article, no airs or posturing, just professional investigating. I really looked up to him. Steve seems like such a sneaky opportunist and Jason is so full of himself that there is no balance between the team. And then all the new characters, they really lack personality. Yeah, I'll continue to watch "Ghost Hunters," the reruns when the show was a class act! Sorry guys, but I think  Grant was smart to leave before the show loses it's luster. All I can say is, dudes, you really should stop while your show is still afloat, you're just going to ruin it for the entire paranormal genre...
4. AnonymousFebruary 15, 2012 at 8:20 PM  I must say that Grant was one of my favorites and I believe due to the ridiculous guest stars, flash light tricks and Grant not wearing his wedding ring might have something to do with him leaving. I guessed who was going to be leaving, but the reasons why are still up in the air. Plus, Grants hasn't been looking too well lately. Again, it could be due to his health or home-life. I just wish he would come out and say why and get all out in the open. We love you and wish you would stay, but we understand.

Ghost Hunters New Season begins tonight!!!!

We don't know about you, but after a lot of complaining the past season, TPB hopes this season will be a good one for the TAPS team in spite of Grant Wilson's absence. We will be tuning in tonight with the hopes that we always have that we will be able to "see what they see" not their reaction to what "they saw." If you're a steady reader here you know we have belly ached o plenty over the fact that every apparition that has been spotted by the team in later years has not in fact been caught on camera at all. This has been due to the fact that the cameraman is forever glued to the faces of the Ghost Hunters themselves rather than any "spirits" they may have seen. So here's the questions we hope get answered..

• Will the show be worth watching without Grant Wilson?
• Will Ghost Hunters  heed their fans advice and go back to the basic premise of the show?
• Is Steve the new Grant this season?
• Will viewers actually get to see any real evidence? 

We'll tune in, and if  you like you can come back to That Paranormal Blog after the show and tell us what you thought of the show.

This post is to address questions from our readers concerning SyFy Ghost Hunters co-founder  Grant Wilson. Apparently there seems to be some confusion, as many have asked this question in  the last couple of weeks. So let's clear this up shall we?

Answer: While Grant Wilson is involved with fund raising for Cancer charities, there are no known reports at this time stating he has cancer. Ryan Buell of  Paranormal State, has been diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer, see:

If you want a glimpse into the minds of people like Dave Tango and Jason Hawes of SyFy's Ghost Hunters? Well you're in luck, (maybe) because they tweet really frequently and it is somewhat interesting what they tweet about. Dave Tango has an interesting stream on a usual basis..however..some of them well........
 
What you are likely to see is idle prattle that is well, here's an example:

Seinfeld not likely to replace Grant Wilson on Ghost Hunters

Ghost Hunters (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

Jerry Seinfeld (character) (Photo credit: Wikipedia)TPB has done extensive research in an effort to confirm or deny rumors that Jerry Seinfeld will be the next replacement for Grant Wilson on Ghost Hunters. Many of our readers have been in an uproar and state that if this was the direction that show was headed into they would no longer watch the show.

As it turns out there is very little evidence to support this rumor being true. Seinfeld recently announced that he is fixing to go "back on the road" and there was no mention of Ghost Hunters or TAPS in any schedule released by Seinfeld handlers.

Additionally, no mention has been made by Seinfeld or any media linked to Seinfeld.

TPB thinks it is highly unlikely that SyFy would keep this big news under wraps. In all likelihood if this were to be true, it would have been a heavily advertised announcement and no doubt the airways would be saturated with this news.

What TPB did find out was there may be a possibility of Jerry Seinfeld guest starring on Ghost Hunters investigations, along with a list of other Hollywood names that may step in and be a guest hunter.

Leave a message for Grant Wilson

Crying emoticon (Photo credit: Wikipedia) Well we knew this day would come, Ghost Hunter and TAPS co founder Grant Wilson has flown the coupe. SyFy, who never misses a beat, has now set up a place for those who were Grant Wilson fans to leave him a message via their SYFY forum. For those who just can't let go of Grant going, this may be the place you can finally send him your well wishes and a heartfelt farewell.

For the rest of us, there should be a "suggestions for Ghost Hunters Post Grant Wilson" forum. The Good news is, While they may not have it on the SyFy website, you can certainly place your suggestions here for the rest of us to read and TPB will make sure our masses of readers will see your thoughts and who knows, maybe an actual Ghost Hunter may see it..
Leave a Message For Grant
For everyone else, leave show suggestions by commenting on this post , TPB will make sure everyone sees it by posting it again on a separate page on this blog, entitled: Hey Ghost Hunters on SyFy, here's a suggestion...

Fans not buying the "metal reaction" ring excuse by Grant Wilson of Ghost Hunters

Image via WikipediaWe thought we had to throw out this quick blurb. Over the past week we have been hearing from many of our readers and fans of the show not buying Grant's explanation for not wearing his wedding ring on the show.
Here's some of the questions and points we're getting from you guys:

1. If it is a metal reaction why is it only happening now, after many years of marriage?
2. Why not replace the ring?
3. What metal was the ring made of? Usually gold doesn't cause many allergic reactions.
4. What was that rather heated looking discussion with Jason Hawes on the episode where Grant announced he was quitting? It looked rather animated and why tell Jason while the show was filming?
5. Grant tweeted he's just "done with it" that doesn't sound like a very amicable departure.

Ghost Hunters Returns April 11th

Image via WikipediaGhost Hunter Grant Wilson fans be sure to tune in April 11 th for the final "Grant" investigation episodes to resume.  

To play catch up:

Recently, Grant Wilson dropped a huge bomb on the SyFy show stating that he was leaving the show. Many TPB readers flooded this site to find out why he has made this decision and as of today, the exact reasons are still unclear.

Many TPB readers have come up with some compelling theories, covering everything from having an affair with another GH member to marital troubles due to the absence of a wedding ring on Grant's finger. Ah our readers are an observant and creative bunch.

Recently, TPB stumbled across Grant Wilson's Twitter page and we see he is addressing many of the rumors with his tweets. To see what he tweeted see: Grant Wilson Tweets: "There's nothing wrong in my marriage"

Image via WikipediaThe big question is, and please feel free to weigh in:

Will the Ghost Hunter show survive? Many TPB readers have stated that Wilson was their favorite investigator. Is there a chance the show may begin a swift descent into the "Where are they now" television archives? Or, will they continue on and find ways to amp things up via celebrity guests?

Image via Wikipedia

TPB hopes that they don't go the celebrity route, somehow it seems to cheapen the show, but that's just our opinion.  What further seems to be a goofy turn of events is that it is rumored that none other than funny man Jerry Seinfeld is slated to be a replacement for Grant Wilson. Hmmm...I can only imagine what direction GH will be going in if that happens.

Ghost hunter material? Seriously?

Well just when you think the latest departure of GH founder Grant Wilson was the most shocking paranormal news of the year, would you believe a new rumor is surfacing that is even more shocking? Recently a rumor has circulated stating that Grant Wilson's replacement would be none other than Jerry Seinfeld?
Our question to our readers is, will this help or hurt the show? TPB has long griped that Ghost Hunters was becoming too Hollywoody, is that  a word? Well at any rate we thought the show was going in a very "commercial" direction when celebrities started popping up on the weekly show.
Is this a blatant attempt to do damage control to keep the ratings from plummeting in the aftermath of popular Grant Wilson's abrupt departure?
Just for the record: TPB has tried to verify this rumor, found one floating source thus far, but in the event it is true, we want to be able to say we shared the rumor with our readers :)
Wonder who would replace Jason Hawes should he leave? Woody Allen? Couldn't you just picture it? "this is crazy, we're hunting ghosts can't we just channel Casper, at least he was friendly?" LOL

Rumors of Grant Wilson's departure from Ghost Hunters run rampant

Image via WikipediaJust prior to the show airing last night, Ghost Hunter :Amy Runi tweeted Tonight! All your questions are answered on the mid-season finale of#Ghosthunters! 9pm on @SyFy - DO NOT MISS IT!


The interesting thing to note about this is that there seems to be far more questions than answers as to why founder Grant Wilson left the show. Rumors persist in light of this new information and they run the gamut from Wilson was fired by the show, to a secret affair with another Ghost Hunter member to an undisclosed illness.

Many viewers were quick to point out to TPB that Grant Wilson was in fact no longer wearing his wedding ring. There were reports indicating that in a tweet a fan did pose this question to Wilson who tweeted he had a reaction to the "metal" and that they were trying to "fix" this.

Other reports on the internet suggest there was some issues between Wilson and other founder Jason Hawes which was more than likely drawn upon some questionable tweets between the two previously.

One quick read through Grant Wilson's various tweets and one can assume this, he's known for some time prior to the show he was going to leave and they seemed to work the announcement in to make for a ratings boost.
