Ghost Hunters TV show was here!

On Wednesday night, the SyFy Channel will air the season premier of "Ghost Hunters" 10th season. The impact that "Ghost Hunters" had on the paranormal  world is staggering. The show has spawn or inspired numerous other paranormal TV shows. It inspired people to form ghost-hunting groups in communities across the country. The TV show also took an inquisitive and respectful look at paranormal activity for the whole world to see, which made it less taboo. Most importantly, the show has been entertaining and fun to watch with the lights off.

In the show's 10 years, the Ghost Hunters crew have visited New York State numerous times, with 12 of those episodes film at locations on the Haunted History Trail of New York State. Many of the episodes showed some pretty compelling evidence of possible haunting in the Empire State.  A pleasant benefit of a trail location being featured on national television was the instant publicity it produced. Owners of places on the trail reported phones ringing off the hook the day following their appearance on "Ghost Hunters."
