Comment on Grant Wilson Announces He Is Leaving “Ghost Hunters” by Justin Holley

I am the case manager for a TAPS family group (Northern, MN). Grant Wilson is the reason why I got into the field to begin with–and I will personally miss him. Even the much smaller chunk of time that I am out investigating, as compared to Grant Wilson, sometimes puts a strain on family time, and so I commend Grant for taking the high road and putting family first.

In regards to faking evidence, I think that everyone needs to understand that although Jason and Grant have acted in the capacity of Executive Producers, they do not have the final say in what is aired–Pilgrim and SyFy do. In fact, it is Grant’s ethical guidelines that have lead me to completely seperate the paranormal investigation and fiction writing components of my life. I do not believe that Grant would purposefully fake evidence. That is my opinion of Grant Wilson and I’m sticking to it.

With all that said, I would like to thank Tim Yancey for the well thought out blog post. It was well written. My hope is that we all can come together some day. Just think if all teams, despite their differences, compiled their information. We might actually make some progress in figuring out the science behind paranormal activity.

I feel so bad for Grant. He seems like such a nice guy, but Tim seems like such a douchebag. Hold a grudge much, Tim? You should be sucking the “ghost hunters” balls and asking them how much they like it. The only reason I found your crappy blog was because I wanted to find out why Grant left the show recently. Instead I find you crying about your problems and “collargate”. Sounds like Tim is about to start up “douchegate”. Even the people that write on your blog like Grant better than you. You don’t know shit about Grant’s personal life maybe his wife caught him fuckin’ a ghost. You wouldn’t know. The thing you need to do is to see how you can help those guys because if they go off the air all the people like you who piggyback off these guys will be out of a job too. I bet your most popular keyword search is “ghosthunters”. None of this matters anyways because while it is entertaining everyone knows ghosts aren’t real.

I believe tht the show has lost if not all, than most of its credibility. I truly hate to be so brutal but the show started out well (first 2 seasons) after that it was one hoax after another. The other cast members do more harm than good to paranormal research. I wish that either ghost hunters would be cancelled and replaced with a more authentic research show or totally revamped with a new more credible cast. Bottom line they all need to hang it up.

I have to say I thought Steve was leaving the TAPS team and that really would have saddened me. But, I truly felt every word Grant was saying. I had to leave a job that I absolutely loved and cried when handing in my resignation. But, I had to leave for my son and it is so hard to make that choice. You know what the right choice is supposed to be but it is so hard when the “job” is what made you who you are as a person. It was gut wrenching to watch and feel badly for him. I do want to make one final comment now knowing it was Grant who was leaving. Back when they did the Salem episode, I remember Kris gushing about Grant and couldn’t help but hope she didn’t have ulterior motives or that something wasnt going on behind the scenes. Then, I saw them advertising her in the International group during commercials last night and was wondering if something did happen and they shipped her off. I know it is gossipy to throw that in the mix now, but, it was already on my mind and I didnt like her since that Salem episode. If he did slip and now it has hurt his marriage, I guess that is the price you pay. You really do lose it all. I hope it is not the case and it’s simply not being home with the family. Let them run their Inn as a happy family and find something together again. I truly wish him all the best.

I would not be surprised one bit if Grants marriage is over, but that’s what happens when you become famous and think you’re all that and a bag of chips. I was a GH fan since the first time it aired and of course our entire family was incredibly interested in the paranormal, but after meeting with Jason and Grant and on one of their trips, we were dumped and ignored as if they didn’t even know us within a few short days. We spent hours that first night talking to them with our adult daughter, had breakfast with them in the hotel the next morning and it’s “Thanks for blowing sunshine up our butts, now bug off” within a week. They need to know that fame doesn’t give you license to treat people like crap or to lie and deceive someone and get away with it. Our entire family (especially our daughter) was seriously hurt by their behavior and while we were all taught to forgive, we will never forget.

Well said. I find it fascinating the competitive and often scathing relationships between various paranormal groups, I’ve seen this elsewhere.

Separately, I know GH doesn’t promote the scarier side of the paranormal, but other shows and lectures will tell you about how “something” will follow you home from some locations. I wonder if this happened and affected his family. Hey,its a theory.

It’s tooo bad tha Jason wasn’t the one leaving. I can tolerate Grant, but Jason seems to be a jug head. Just sayin’.

I’m sure there were things “enhanced” in their footage or maybe “over dramatized” is a better word, in which to get the attention of the viewers and I’m sure some of you are going to cringe at my next statement but facts are facts. HUMANS LIKE DRAMA. Were all guilty of it. We hear a shout on the television and turn quickly to it to see what has happened. They did as many in the production industry do, make something we all WANT to see. Does that make them bad people? No. Does it make them liars? No. Does it make them money? Yes.

Goodbye Grant Wilson. Good luck with what ever life throws your way. The time we spent together was great and I will miss you.

As for the article written by Mr. Yancy; well done my friend.

I couldn’t agree with you more on all the points you made. I used to be a big fan in the beginning but lost faith in them at the time of “collargate”. I believe it was the same live episode where there was an audible voice that said something like “get out now” and Grant and Jason acted excited about it. It was ridiculous. It was somebody clearly talking into a microphone or something. It was so blatantly fake. I lost all respect right there. Also in the beginning Jason would almost never come out and say a place was haunted. I remember it used to be a big deal when he would say it. But in the last few years I don’t think there has been a place he hasn’t said was.
I could go on and on but I won’t. I do wish Grant the best, though. He was always my favorite on the show.besides Brian Harnois, and hope things look up for him.
