The paranormal investigation show Ghost Hunters returns to Kentucky on our screens, at least this weekend.
This Sundays episode, Ghosts of Gaines Tavern, will spotlight the shows TAPS team (The Atlantic Paranormal Society) investigating the Abner Gaines House in Walton, Kentucky, a small town outside of Cincinnati.
The episode will premiere this Sunday, Jan. 29. Youll be able to stream it on Discovery+.
The episode description says, TAPS visits a 19th-century Kentucky tavern plagued by a series of murders and suicides. The city is getting ready to reopen the building to the public, and the mayor wants to be sure that remnants of its tragic past dont resurface as dangerous entities.
The Abner Gaines House, which is currently listed on the National Register of Historic Places, previously served as a tavern, post office, inn and stagecoach stop in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Its now the Gaines Tavern History Center, which was closed to the public in 2020.
