Robb Demarest Talks Dustin Pari, Twitter, Martial Arts, & More

Laura Merwin at MassLive.com recently posted an interview with Ghost Hunters International lead investigator Robb Demarest. In the interview Robb discusses Dustin Pari's leaving the show, cancelling his Twitter account, practing martial arts, the revolving cast of GH International, and staying under the radar.

Laura: The cast of GHI has changed radically from the very beginning, from one episode to the next it seems we never know which investigators we’ll be seeing, you seem to be the one constant, what are you doing differently that has kept you coming back each and every episode?

Robb: I know that this has a been a real problem with GHI. The only OG’s (original ghost hunters….or is that OGH?) are Barry and I. Part of the problem is that life on the road for 4-6 weeks at a clip can be tough. That isn’t to say that it isn’t a great opportunity, but I think some people underestimate how grueling it can be. Plus, being away from family and friends takes its toll. It’s a good thing Barry is very resilient and I’m just stubborn.

Laura: The loss of Dustin Pari from the team is quite a shock, are there any other surprises for the new season that you can let us in on?

Robb: Dustin’s departure was tough. I miss the guy on a daily basis. Barry does a great job stepping into that spot. As far as other surprises…Hmmm…Well, Scott Tepperman joins the team. Susan and Karl join us from GHA. A couple more familiar faces leave before the show ends this run, and one returns. Is that cryptic enough for you?

Sneak Peek of 'Sweeney Todd'

See a sneak peek of this Wednesday's all new Ghost Hunters International, 'Sweeney Todd'. Although Todd was a fictional character, the team is searching for the ghost of a possible real life inspiration for the legend (if there is one). An article on MassLive discusses this a little more, including the story of "Mr. Jarman" who supposedly dumped humans into pots of boiling water and then disposed of the remains in a river. This week's investigation takes place at the Ostrich Inn in Colnbrook, England.

CapeCast Interviews 'Academy' Winner Adam Berry

CapeCast recently posted a video interview on YouTube with Ghost Hunters Academy winner Adam Berry. Adam talks about his approach towards ghost hunting, the scariest moment from the show, and confirms that he will be joining the TAPS team in the fall. Plus, you can hear some of Adam's musical talent at the start of the show.

Interviewer: So Adam, take us to the scariest moment in your experience with ghosts. Where were you, what did you feel?
Adam: You know, I think on the show the scariest place was the Ohio State Reformatory. I mean that place was huge, it was a prison, it was where they filmed Shawshank. They had thousands of people die and like it was bloody and nasty. I think that we started hearing sounds and different things that we couldn't explain and couldn't pinpoint and couldn't find it was like they were playing a game with us. And they wanted us to like run us around like an amusement park. And I think that was probably the scariest moment.

Well....when I got the call saying that I was on the show, I went nuts! I was screaming and jumping around.....it was insane. I don't think I slept at all that night, haha.

I'm Featured On Entities-R-Us!

Terri of Entities-R-Us (http://www.entities-r-us.com/) has finally given me my comic debut! What started out as nothing more than a bit of humor has turned into a Guest Draw, which features me (looking quite a bit more sun tanned than I actually am in real life. If you ever see me, you will find that I lack the color that my comical counterpart has!) along with Ghost Hunters' own Steve Gonsalves & Dave Tango! It's quite an honor to be featured on Terri's comic and especially humbling to be featured along with two Ghost Hunters stars. Make sure that you check out the comic and if you have time, visit the archives, I promise that they will make you smile & snort. A big thank you to Terri!
