SciFi Ghost Hunters Live Halloween Broadcast

7pm to 2 Am Oct. 31 from Fort Delaware

SciFi's hit paranormal series Ghost Hunters broadcasts its third annual live Halloween Special from 7pm to 2 am direct from Fort Delaware on Halloween night. Watch it as it happens. See something unusual? Think you spot a ghost? Contact Ghost Hunters with ideas and suggestions in real time as they perform their investigation.

Jason Hawes and Grant Wilson co-founders of The Atlantic Paranormal Society (TAPS), along with other Ghost Hunter crew members will set up an array of equipment on Pea Patch Island and investigate on air while millions of viewers watch and interact with them. Ghost Hunters hopes to capture further evidence to support the existence of ghostly activity in this historic fortress that dates back to 1859 and claims to have held 33, 000 troops and officers prisoner during the civil war period. Approximately 2700 confederate soldiers died at Fort Delaware, 2436 of whom are buried in Finn's Point National Cemetery on the New Jersey shore.

Ghost Hunters investigated this historic fort earlier this year and aired the episode on the June 19. Evidence captured from that investigation includes several EVPs, one of which appears to be the resounding boom of long abandoned canons, and an eerie thermal camera image of a person wandering the halls of the fort. A video clip of that investigation is available on youtube.com. (Headphones greatly enhance the EVPS). This is one of those rare cases where Jason declares he thinks the site is haunted.

Most of us refer to any place that has paranormal activity as haunted, but Jason Hawes explains that to be considered haunted a site must have evidence that a spirit of a person is present. Paranormal activity can exist for a variety of reasons, but in and of itself, it does not indicate a place is haunted.

Ghost Hunters debuted in October 2004 and has gathered a large following of viewers who eagerly await new episodes every Wednesday night at 9pm (EST). Ghost Hunters boasts an average 2.7 million viewers with the Live Halloween Investigation expected to bring in record numbers of viewers.
