Ghost Hunt (TV series)

Ghost Hunt is a reality TV show from New Zealand. It is an investigating series in which a team of three investigators, Carolyn Taylor, Michael Hallows and Brad Hills, visited alleged haunted hotspots around New Zealand. It is currently aired in Europe on the channel Zone Reality.

Episode structure
There were three main sections of every episode; first the team would look around the location during the daylight, then set up video cameras and temperature monitors just before dark for later use. The second section involved, at night, Michael and Carolyn entering the location again with only flashlights and photography equipment, their objective being to check temperatures that could indicate paranormal activity and take photographs in an attempt to capture images of ghosts and orbs. Before dawn, to start the third section, the pair would exit the location and meet with Brad in the Ghost Hunt vehicle, who would examine the evidence gathered by Michael and Carolyn, as well as discuss various findings that could be deemed evidence of haunting. It was left up to the viewer's own decision whether or not the evidence was trustworthy. The soundtrack theme for the show was "Into The Ocean (Calling You)" from the Evermore album Dreams.

Cancellation
The show is no longer in production, despite a large following in the United Kingdom, and the fact that the series team had already prepared locations intended to be investigated in a second series.

Brad Hills stated in an interview that the producers of Ghost Hunt were planning on creating an Australian version of the show, but no such version has been made.
