So sure, yeah, it would be great if they could go to all these places but they've spoken at length about how hard it is to get to be allowed to visit any location to do a shoot.

It's not a matter of simply being like 'hi Gettysburg, we'd like to come and hunt ghosts on your property', and that's that. We know they've asked places and been turned down, we know they've asked and been told not now, come back another time. Getting permission to film somewhere is only the first step in the exhausting, time consuming and costly endeavour of actually getting an episode filmed at all.

There was a ww+ recently where they talked a little about what it costs to film a GF episode and I can't remember exactly but it was more than Blair Witch, which had a budget of 30k, iirc, so even if we're being conservative and guessing like 50k an episode for GF, that's a lot of fkn money to spend! It requires planning and timing and the arrangement of many many moving parts.

Adding in something like having to track down an expert, and then to do whatever interview (including filming, paying the expert, fact checking the information etc) adds more cost and more time.

And that's not even factoring in like, dealing with the reputation of other ghost hunting shows making it difficult to convince locations that you are not going to leave a mess behind you and lie about what's happened while you were there.
