SyFy’s Ghost Hunters Revisit Rolling Hills Asylum

SyFy Network’s Ghost Hunters International is staying on the mainland this weekend, leading seminars and ghost hunts at Rolling Hills, the former asylum in Bethany, Genesee County.

The new GHI team — Kris Williams and Britt Griffith (who jumped this season from sister show Ghost Hunters), Barry Fitzgerald, Joe Chin, Susan Slaughter and Paul Bradford — will be on hand. Along for the ride will be Bill Murphy from Fact or Faked: Paranormal Files and Chip Coffey from A&E’s Paranormal State.
Williams, the leader for the weekend, says she can’t wait to get to Rolling Hills, which has been featured on several paranormal shows. “I’ve heard a lot of stories about the place from people I trust.”
Still, she’ll approach the weekend like any other — with skepticism. The idea is to eliminate any rational reasons for events. Then, if the investigators feel there is a paranormal presence, they do more research to figure out what the backstory could be. Williams’ specialty is genealogy, so she’ll look into the people who lived in a certain place and try to figure out their lives. She’ll be teaching a seminar on the method this weekend.
