My review of Ghost Hunters at Kings Island

So Ghost Hunters did an episode at Kings Island. Naturally they had many challenges to deal with.

The park is much larger than other places they’ve done.  The time means they couldn’t go after every ghost story and Kings Island probably (I admit to speculating here) probably limited their access.

That said, they found something. Female voices in the International Restaurant. One says it’s looking for it’s mom. Sounded pretty clear actually.

But here’s the thing….I know most of this show is the people speaking in scary tones and saying “OMG did you hear that?” But on the other hand, they usually seem to legit investigate things. They do EVP and measure electromagnetic fields and put up cameras and such…..they didn’t do any of that except the audio EVP.

Observing that, plus seeing they did a better investigation in the next half of the episode, and knowing how KI controls spin, I think either KI management or the scope of the park’s size caused them to not do a thorough job.

I submit that they wanted to do KI, and KI said ok but on these conditions…..and the rest is a subpar episode of a so-so show.

They focus the whole thing on an alleged little girl in a blue dress who is in fact part of park legend, and they investigate two three places she might be and for some reason wander about the carousel and the haunted house. Then they wander about White Water Canyon.

They don’t investigate near the Beast, or near the Tower, or in the Festhaus or in 95 percent of the park. They pretty much investigated the IR and wandered around. Terrible job.

They ignored Tower Johnny, may have fabricated the story about a munitions factory on site (there is one two miles away where  there was a big explosion in 1890ish). They ignored Racer Boy and really just everything.

Someone needs to investigate why they half assed this investigation. I really do think these guys try to find things when they go “hunting” but when it comes to the Kings Island investigation, it’s like they didn’t even try.



Don Hellbig told the Cincinnati Enquirer that Ghost Hunters filmed every night for a week. Did they really find nothing else useable? If not, ok but they should have showed some of it.

I give it a half star out of 5.

Also, way to totally ignore everything but the rides department. Merch forever, food never!
