Ghost Hunters New Season Preview
When A&E brought Ghost Hunters back to the airwaves, they rounded up an almost entirely new cast of investigators. Now in season two, the team heads into “uncharted territory” to be “the first to investigate reports of paranormal phenomena in some of the nation’s most remote locations.”
According to the A&E press release, the team’s investigation “takes them to isolated, distant corners of the United States where they confront extreme conditions and desolate terrain. The team seeks out forgotten worlds where darkness and death plague residents who have been forced to live with the unknown. Despite mysterious and unnerving warnings from locals, the Ghost Hunters face their fears and stay on mission: to help people confront terrifying paranormal encounters that have shaken them to their core. In doing so, they capture their most compelling, persuasive evidence in over a decade.”
In the two-part season premiere, titled “Terror Town,” the team heads to Clifton, Arizona, a remote mining town that has seen “violence, mayhem and natural disasters” since its founding in 1873.
“Despite its many struggles, Clifton remains home to a small population. Along with its brutal past comes a long history of dark paranormal experiences in the town, which has many residents convinced that Clifton may be cursed. Isolated and concerned the town may no longer be safe for their families, the townspeople have turned to the Ghost Hunters to investigate the continuous paranormal activity and the connection, if any, to Clifton’s history of death and misery,” says the A&E episode description.
Then next week, episode two, which is titled, “Proof of Afterlife,” the hunters investigate New Mexico’s Fort Stanton, a 19th-century military post that was eventually converted into a tuberculosis hospital. Reports of paranormal activity at Fort Stanton date back to the 1940s, “but a recent uptick in claims causes concerns about staff safety.”
The A&E Ghost Hunters cast includes original hunter Grant Wilson, plus new cast members Daryl Marston, Kristen Luman, Brandon Alvis, Mustafa Gatollari, Brian Murray, and Richel Stratton, plus some special guest stars.
Also premiering alongside Ghost Hunters is the series premiere of the reimagined Celebrity Ghost Stories, which will feature world-renowned psychic-medium Kim Russo having paranormal encounters with celebrities that include rapper Ice-T and his wife, COco, and NFL legend and broadcaster Terry Bradshaw and his wife, Tammy, in the first two episodes.
The two-hour premiere of A&E’s Ghost Hunters airs Wednesday, April 8 at 8 p.m. ET/PT; subsequent weeks are one hour long and air at 9 p.m. ET/PT on A&E.
