Ghost Hunters returns on September 5th with season 8.5 on Syfy. The mid-season premiere is the first episode without co-leader Grant Wilson and the episodes have other noticeable changes. Ghost Hunters is shot differently than previous seasons. A Jason Hawes narrative is weaved into the show and some of the findings are dropped into the investigation. This season's changes seem influenced by other current paranormal programming. The Syfy press release described the Ghost Hunters TAPS team as, "officially a team in transition, which means there are plenty of surprises on the way this fall!" One of the surprises was given away on a conference call with founder and lead investigator, Jason Hawes, on August 28th. Jason exclusively announced on the press conference call that a new female investigator, Ashley Troub of East Ventura Paranormal Society (EVPs), has joined the Ghost Hunters team. I have met and investigated with Ashley previously. Ashley will bring a new energy to the TAPS team. On September 26th, Ashley will make her first appearance on Ghost Hunters.

Exclusive Interview with Mark Lewis, Executive Producer of Paranormal WitnessInterview by Christiane ElinWritten by Christiane Elin Paranormal Witness is back with a twelve episode second season on Syfy. Executive Producer, Mark Lewis, spoke with Christiane Elin of SciFi Vision about the new season. The second season trumps the first season according to Lewis. The stories are more varied, higher octane, and more terrifying. Mark conceded they learned a lot from the first season and about storytelling and the way the show should look. He feels Paranormal Witness has gone from strength to strength. Paranormal Witness producers spent time listening to the fans and social media and they were overwhelmed by the fan reaction. It was clear to see what the audience liked the most, and they are catering season two to exactly that.
