Yesterday the "Ghost Adventures" crew took part in a special Q&A to discuss what fans can expect from the seventh season of the popular television show, and of course we were on hand and have brought you guys the transcript! Dig it!
After a quick briefing from Rick Gomes, the Communications Director at Travel Channel, the Gac got right to work.
