The show Ghost Hunters first aired on the Syfy network back in 2004. The reality show revolved around two co-investigators, Grant Wilson and Jason Hawes, as they investigated paranormal occurrences. The thing that drew viewers in was how the plot managed to leave everything open to interpretation. It was up to fans to decide whether the encounter the paranormal detectives investigated was real or fake. The show’s popularity enabled it to run for over ten seasons on the network before it went off the air in 2016. After a three year hiatus, the popular reality show is making a comeback in television.
