Ghost Hunters International

The first episode of the season ventures deep into the countryside of Wicklow, Ireland for an investigation of an old 18th century prison. As these 'real-life ghost hunters' try to uncover truth or fiction, they'll face their closest supernatural encounter yet! The new six-part episode season will have the team trotting around the globe with upcoming haunted haunts in countries including Chile, Ireland, Czech Republic, Austria, Italy and Argentina.

Ghost Hunters International investigates the bones of a Catholic saint in the Czech Republic; the ghost of a landlord refuses to be exorcized in Northern Ireland.

Back in the Czech Republic, Ghost Hunters International investigates a castle reputed to have been built over the gate to Hell.

Ghost Hunters International's first trip to Austria brings them to a five hundred year old torture chamber; the investigation of a royal palace is part ghost hunt, part treasure hunt.

Ghost Hunters International returns to Italy to investigate the Tuscan castle of Malaspina and its 700 year old legend of the doomed lover Bianca Maria Aloisia. Ashley gets the shock of her life when she sees a face that could be Bianca's. Also, Robb gets disinvited from the castle by an occupant who has been dead for some time. Then, the team travels to Genoa to investigate the Palazzo Ducale, home to the city's doges and their prisoners. When the team searches the cells for the spirit of a political martyr, they get a bump in the night that seems paranormal - but is the city itself responsible for its palace's haunted reputation?

The GHI team is bound for South America and arrive in Chile for their first investigation of the El Bosque City Hall. The famed city hall was once a retirement home for Catholic priests and also served as a house of detention for the secret police during the reign of Augusto Pinochet. As these 'real-life ghost hunters' try to uncover truth or fiction they'll soon discover that certain members of their team are about to face some ghostly behavior. Tech Specialist Paul Bradford is touched on his head in the former torture chamber, while Barry spots a shadow that could be the deceased Father Juan. The team will also arrive in the city of Valparaiso to investigate the Santiago Severin Library, where the librarians are hearing noises they can't "shush" away.

In the premiere episode titled "Hitler's Ghost," the GHI team ventures to Miramar, Argentina and set their sites on the Gran Hotel Viena, once the secret residence of many Nazi war criminals including rumored guest, Adolf Hitler. As the hunt is on, GHI will try to debunk truth from fiction and finally answer many remaining questions on the final resting place of Hitler himself.

Ghost Hunters International makes their way to La Falda, Argentina to uncover the ghostly mysteries of The Eden Hotel, a 19th century luxury resort which once welcomed the rich and the famous including Albert Einstein, the Prince of Wales and many world presidents. The Eden Hotel has had a strange, controversial past. Hotel employees and the municipality say paranormal activity at the hotel includes the apparition of a little girl, quick shadows running, voices whispering, cracking noises and slamming doors and windows. The hotel's current restoration company has complained that workers are scared to death to finish the restoration job. The GHI team then ventures to Junee, Australia to visit the Monte Cristo Homestead. Monte Cristo, meaning 'Mount of Christ", was built in 1884 as a Victorian manor for a wealthy family. Unfortunately the manor has been plagued by many horrific incidents and deaths over the years, and at least seven apparitions have been reported. The current owners moved into the manor in 1963 and had no idea of the tragic history surrounding their home and were not prepared for what was in store for them.

The GHI team ventures to Sydney, Australia and visits the Quarantine Station -- named Australia's most haunted area. Its reputation as a haunted site has been reinforced by numerous accounts of people who faced paranormal experiences in the Station to this day. From 1828 until 1984, migrant ships with passengers carrying infectious diseases were sent to Quarantine. The sick were sent to the hospital; those who had been in close contact with the sick were sent into isolation; and the well were sent to lodgings according to social class. Some stayed a week, others for months. Some reported truly appalling conditions with a sense of misery, wretchedness and disease present everywhere. Visitors today have reported disembodied patients, doctors and nurses. Also, visitors say they are often pushed by people who are not there, even during the middle of the day!

GHI investigates the ruins of the Port Arthur Penal Colony in Tasmania, Australia. From 1830-1870, Port Arthur was the place they called "hell on earth," where the convicts of a past era lived and died. With its history of hardship and death, it is no wonder that the grounds and ruins of the Port Arthur convict penitentiary are haunted by multiple apparitions and strange occurrences. Strangers from around the world report shockingly similar claims of seeing the same apparitions. Common claims include jail cells with disembodied screams, empty rocking chairs that move, and strange footprints and glowing mists.

GHI ventures to Hobart, Tasmania and investigates the Tasmania Supreme Courthouse. There are unexplained activities occurring in the old courthouse and chapel, which employees cannot easily dismiss. The courthouse is the site where many people were sentenced to death by hanging. Throughout the building, staff and visitors still claim to witness apparitions, disembodies voices, unexplained sounds, green mist and strange things around the noose in gallows.

The GHI team ventures to Costa Rica and investigates the San Lucas Penitentiary, an abandoned 19th century prison known as 'The Alcatraz' of Central America. This one time penitentiary was synonymous with cruelty and isolation and was used for over 100 years as a labor camp for young prisoners. The Costa Rican government will make the island accessible to tourists for the first time, but with wild monkeys, boa constrictors, spiders and even crocodiles inhabiting the island, they want to know if there is something supernatural that also lurks on the grounds as well.

The GHI crew heads to Kingston, Jamaica and tries to shed light on the ghost of sugar plantation owner, Annie Palmer. Her cruel and often sadistic ways towards her slaves labeled her as the 'White Witch of Rose Hall.' With underground dungeons, torture chambers and a mansion of hell, Ms. Palmer was known to practice witchcraft and voodoo in the hopes of gaining additional power over her servants and increasing her riches. Rumor has it that she was responsible for the deaths of three husbands and countless number of slaves. Visitors and tourists to Rose Hall have said that they have heard hurried footsteps, crying babies, disembodied voices and music from far ago.
