Syfy Sneak Peek: The Legend of Rose Hall

The season premiere of Ghost Hunters International is rapidly approaching and if you want to get a sneak peek at what's to come look no further than below!

Kris Williams Interviews Orleans Historical Society

Previously, we heard reports that TAPS had filmed an investigation at the Orleans Waterfront Inn in Orleans, Mass. earlier this month. Today, Wicked Local has made a new post that mentions a visit Kris Williams made to interview a member of the Orleans Historial Society to find out more concrete information about the three ghosts that haunt the inn. One lucky teenage fan also got the chance to meet Kris while she was there for the interview.

When Tamsen Cornell’s teenage daughter sat down with her father Sunday to watch a marathon of her favorite show, she did so with a freshly penned autograph from one of the stars.

Cornell, museum director of Orleans Historical Society, doesn’t usually brush up against fame but in the past week two television crews have set up in the society’s museum on River Road.

“It was very exciting,” said Cornell, who is thrilled some of the artifacts in the building will get a wider audience. “We’ll see if it draws any tourists.”

The crew from the Sci-Fi channel’s “Ghost Hunters” did an interview with historian Bonnie Snow at the society last Friday after spending an evening looking for ghosts at the Orleans Inn. Snow wasn’t as star struck as the Cornells when she met Kris Williams, a paranormal researcher from the show.

Since she didn’t know anything about the ghosts, Snow ended up telling the “Ghost Hunter” group numerous nuggets of Orleans history. But, she said with a laugh, she is certain they are going to end up on the cutting room floor.

Cornell said the ghost hunters were looking for more information on the three ghosts said to haunt the inn. There are only first names of the two men and a woman who died there. One, Hannah, was a lady of the night when the inn was used as a brothel in the 1920s. She was murdered in front of the inn.

TAPS Investigates Cape Cod's Orleans Inn

The Cape Cod Times is reporting that TAPS recently investigated the Orleans Waterfront Inn in Cape Cod, Mass. The 1875 inn is reportedly home to numerous ghosts, among them a bartender, streetwalker, and dishwasher. The SyFy crew arrived at the location in early February and the episode featuring The Orleans Inn is expected to air sometime during the upcoming sixth season of Ghost Hunters, premiering March 3.

ORLEANS — Investigators from the Syfy Channel show "Ghost Hunters" have
checked out reports of ghosts at the 1875 Orleans Inn on Town Cove.

A show about the inn will air sometime in the program's sixth season, which begins March 3, a Syfy spokeswoman said Thursday.

Among the inn's ghosts are Hannah, a streetwalker in the 1920s; Fred, a bartender in the 1950s; and Paul, a dishwasher in the 1970s; along with a few cat ghosts, according to owner Ed Maas' book, "Ghost of the Orleans Inn." Michael Belcher of the Cape Cod Chamber of Commerce attracted the Syfy Channel's attention to the inn. The chamber's membership director said he is not among the show's viewers but said his wife watches every Wednesday night.

In the first week of this month, a crew of 25 people from the show spent four days at the inn, Maas said.
