Kris Williams Chats Ghost Hunters

Monday, October 25th, 2010

Kris Williams Interview with Accidental Sexiness

Neal for AS: The big Halloween live episode is coming up soon. What can we expect this year?

Kris: We are going back to the old format of actual investigation instead of just replaying old episodes. It will be six hours at the Buffalo Central Terminal and Josh Gates (host of Destination Truth, also on SyFy) will be hosting again this year.

Neal for AS: Josh is great.

Kris: Yeah, he’s a good guy and he’s funny as hell. We will also have the chat line open again this year so you can log on and ask questions and we will answer them online. We are going to have the panic button again. There is going to be a live video feed so that people can watch and alert us if they see anything. It’s going back to the investigations that people keep asking us to do. We are looking forward to it.

Neal for AS: That’s great! I really enjoy the investigation part of if over seeing the old episodes. You guys caught some really good footage there the first time you investigated at the terminal.

Kris: We did! And everyone there had some sort of experience. It should be a good one.

Neal for AS: You mentioned that you were doing the panic button again. Does that ever get out of hand with people going in and clicking it over and over again just to drive you nuts?

Kris: Oh my God. They get hundreds of thousands of panic button hits. I am glad that I don’t have the job of sorting through those.

Neal for AS: That has to be a nightmare

Kris: I know! Somebody goes through them and they let us know, like on this camera someone is reporting activity, go check it out, and that is what we do. I can’t imagine being the person sifting through all of them, trying to figure out where to send us.

Ghost Hunters Jason Hawes and Grant Wilson on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire

Monday, October 25th, 2010

Just in time for Halloween, the ghosts will say ‘Who’ not ‘Boo’ on a special episode of “Who Wants To Be A Millionaire” airing October 29, featuring Jason Hawes and Grant Wilson, the lead paranormal investigators and stars of the Syfy series “Ghost Hunters.”  Viewers looking for a scarily good time should check their local listings (nationally syndicated, find listings at www.millionairetv.com).

Hawes and Wilson will appear together as contestants on the Halloween-themed episode of Millionaire and will be able to discuss the questions and possible answers with each other, before giving their “Final Answer” to host Meredith Vieira.

The duo will have to correctly answer 14 trivia questions in order to take home the show’s top prize of $1-million.  New for this season, the first ten questions and the money values attached to those questions are both now randomly shuffled, adding to the excitement and unpredictability of game play.  Hawes and Wilson will have three lifelines – “Ask The Audience” and two “Jump The Question” lifelines, which will enable them to jump over a question, but require them to forfeit the dollar amount attached to the question.

Hawes and Wilson will donate all of their team’s winnings to the Hasbro Children’s Hospital in Providence, RI, an organization that provides a network of pediatric services and is located near the Ghost Hunters home base in Warwick, RI.

The Ghost Hunters duo said, “Kids are so important to us. They are the future. The stronger we make them, the stronger the future will be for them.  Hasbro Children’s Hospital is blazing the trail in how to treat chronically ill children and is making these kids feel comfortable, important, loved and strong.  They are the model for true compassionate care.”
