What does it take to be a top-notch paranormal investigator? Anybody can set up a few cameras and turn out the lights, but only a select few have the right stuff to really get to the bottom of the most puzzling supernatural phenomena. Ghost Hunters Academy features a group of aspiring ghost hunters exploring some of the most haunted locations in the country and around the world. Led by veteran ghost hunters and TAPS members Steve Gonsalves and Dave Tango, the recruits train, hands on, in the paranormal arts.

School is back in session for Ghost Hunters Academy.

Steve Gonsalves and Dave Tango are on board to show the new cadets the ropes, but tensions run high early on. One recruit repeatedly abandons their squad, opting to investigate solo, and alienates the team in the process.

Tune in to find out.

Training is over and the time has come for the cadets to prove themselves as they travel to Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum. With Steve and Tango watching from the sidelines, each team must investigate with the appointed leader at the helm. In the end, one team works cohesively as a unit and wins raves in the evaluation. The other struggles with bickering and draws the ire of Tango, due to a bossy leader and huge technical gaffe that costs the team hard evidence. When Jason Hawes returns to eliminate another competitor, will he side with the embattled team leader or send them packing?
