Ghost Hunters wins Best Paranormal Series in Channel Guide’s 2012 Viewer’s Voice Awards

The granddaddy of the modern incarnation of the popular fascination with ghosts and the paranormal on the television still remains the most popular with fans, as Syfy’s Ghost Hunters, now in its eight season, won this category with by a frighteningly large margin. Even following the departure of longtime Ghost Hunter Grant Wilson in May, the show maintains its strong fan base, and has recently begun a string of Southern-theme episodes where the team looks for spirits below the Mason-Dixon Line. It looks like it will be a while before viewers give up the ghost on the TAPS team!

New episodes of Ghost Hunters air Wednesdays at 9pm ET/PT on Syfy.
