Ghost Hunters International Premieres
Wednesday, February 22 at 9 PM on Syfy

As announced on last night’s episode, Grant Wilson, co-lead investigator of Syfy’s hit reality series Ghost Hunters, will be departing the show.

His last episode will air Wednesday, May 16 @ 9pm, and he will wrap production at some point next month.

Statement from Grant Wilson:

“It is with mixed emotion that I am announcing my departure from the cast of Ghost Hunters. While paranormal investigating has always been and will remain a passion for me, after enjoying nearly eight successful seasons on television, I have made the decision to leave the series in order to focus on other aspects of my personal life.

“I will deeply miss working with Jason and the rest of the dedicated investigators and crew that have become like family, and I wish them all the best as they continue to follow their passion and realize the vision of TAPS. I will also miss interacting with our wonderful fans worldwide. You are all at the heart of what we do on Ghost Hunters, and I’m grateful to have gotten to know many of you over the years.

“Thank you to Syfy and Pilgrim Studios for giving me the opportunity to do what I love for nearly eight years, and for supporting this difficult decision.”

Statement from Jason Hawes:

“When Grant and I founded TAPS nearly 20 years ago, we never imagined that we would be able to make such an impact just by doing what we enjoy every day. I will miss working with Grant on a daily basis, and am indebted to the level of dedication and expertise he has brought to our field.

“I can’t imagine having a better partner through it all – both on the show and off. Grant and I, along with our spouses and children, are all like one big family. While I fully support his decision to move on from the series, this longtime friendship – as well as our business partnership – will continue off-camera for years to come.”

“I’m Going to Be Leaving Ghost Hunters”

“Eight years has put stress on us..in various ways..and..over the course of awhile…Jay and I have been talking..And….its been a very difficult decision to make..but..I’m going to be leaving Ghost Hunters.

So..Its just time for me to back off..step aside..and..no one has done anything wrong to push me there by any means….its tough..a tough decision to make..

But its not the end..its not goodbye..I still have a few more cases that I will be working with you…and I appreciate the support.”

Grant Wilson

Update – Statements from Jason and Grant

City Hell

Ghost Hunters continued its audience growth.  A season high 2.07 million total viewers watched last Wednesday’s “Moonshine & Madness” episode. It was the third time in the 5 episodes of Season 8 that Ghost Hunters broke the 2 million viewer mark.

This upcoming week’s episode promises that a team member’s “shocking announcement will change Ghost Hunters forever.”  No doubt the speculation and anticipation will make the mid-season finale a huge ratings success!

Syfy

The season eight premiere of Ghost Hunters (January 11, 2012) terrified 2.0 million total viewers, 1.1 million Adults 25-54 and 1.0 million Adults 18-49, while averaging a 1.4 household rating.

The iconic paranormal series was up 16 percent in total viewers and 10 percent in Adults 25-54 versus the Season 7 premiere (February 2011).
