The Guest Investigators in the New Episodes of Ghost Hunters

These days the faces of the TAPS (The Atlantic Paranormal Society) team on Ghost Hunters include paranormal investigators Jason Hawes, Steve Gonsalves, Dave Tango, and Shari DeBenedetti. Faces that, for the most part, look pretty familiar to those from the original series. As does their style of investigating.

But when the series rebooted a couple of years ago, there was one change that was a bit different from its origins. The TAPS teams often welcomed special guest investigators. That trend will continue when new episodes of Ghost Hunters premiere on Thursday, April 6 on Travel Channel and discovery+.

The TAPS team will also once again investigate locations and hauntings all over the country. From prisons and mines to mansions and even the Hoover Dam, they’ll use their state-of-the-art technology and methodology to try and figure out what’s going on.

And, as stated earlier, in each of the eight all-new, one-hour episodes, special guest investigators will join them. In some cases it will be celebrities, like The Walking Dead actor Chandler Riggs. He’ll join the TAPS team to investigate strange activity inside The Bastille, an abandoned 125-year-old former Wild West jail in California. Satori Hawes and Cody DesBiens also join the team to hunt for ghostly inmates in that episode.

In other cases, fellow Travel Channel or discovery+ stars join the team, like Destination Fear‘s Dakota Laden. Even Tory Belleci from Mythbusters gets in on the act at St. Ignatius Hospital in Colfax, Washington. And former Ghost Hunters regular, Dustin Pari, will also join the team for a few investigations. But he’s not the only one. Kris Williams will join them as they dive in to investigate the Hoover Dam.

Let’s check out the eight episodes that will air between April 6 and the season finale on May 25. They not only give us a glimpse at the locations, but they also reveal the special guest investigators we can expect to see.

New Ghost Hunters Episodes

Premieres Thursday, April 6 at 9 p.m. ET/PT on Travel Channel and Streaming on discovery+

In downtown Hanford, California, sits an imposing, abandoned county jail more than 125 years old. The Bastille, as it is known today, has captured the imagination of the residents who, for decades, have reported encountering apparitions and other strange activity in this building. In the years since this former Wild West jail was shuttered, many businesses have come and gone inside the old building, but they all share one commonality – claims of chilling paranormal phenomena. Now, many believe that the decades of suffering and tragic deaths that occurred inside the jail are behind the ongoing hauntings. Joining TAPS on this investigation is actor Chandler Riggs (The Walking Dead), as well as investigators Satori Hawes and Cody DesBiens.
