The Girly Ghosthunters is a 30-minute Canadian paranormal TV series. It was first broadcast on Friday, January 14, 2005, on the Canadian SPACE speciality channel. The thirteenth and last episode was broadcast April 15, 2005.
The show featured four women visiting alleged haunted locations in the province of Ontario. To visit these locations, they used a motorhome with the Girly Ghosthunters logo on the sides, driven by a character named Schultzy. They used modern ghost hunting equipment, in an attempt to document any ghosts, apparitions or other phenomena in the visited locations. Before doing so, they interviewed a few people at each locale to understand the history of the building and hear how the place was haunted. After the investigation was over, viewers are shown any evidence of paranormal activity collected from the chosen location. "YOU DECIDE" (this is the preamble for each group of evidence at the end of each episode) for yourself whether it is true or an elaborate hoax. The show was produced by Buck Productions, Inc.
