UPDATE: Grant Wilson clears up some confusion about “Ghost Hunters/”Ghost Nation”…
Hey, all! If you didn’t know by now, Ghost Hunters was sold to Discovery+ but with the team from Ghost Nation. I was not involved in this transaction nor am I a part of the new rendition. I wish them much success with it!
