List of Ghost Hunters Episodes - Specials

Specials

Episodes marked "special" in the above tables are listed on SyFy.com as regular season episodes, although they do not appear to be counted as regular televised investigations because episode #601 "Alcatraz" was promoted as the "100th episode," (if the specials were counted there would be more than that). The specials are just reviews and recaps of investigations. The following list are televised Ghost Hunters events that are not counted as part of any particular season of the program.
