Syfy's paranormal-tinged reality series Ghost Hunters scared up 2.5 million viewers during its Aug. 19 summer premiere episode.
The debut episode of the second half of season five for the series -- which follows the exploits of daytime plumbers Jason Hawes and Grant Wilson who search for paranormal occurrences by night -- fell just short of the 2.6 million viewers generated by the March 11 season five premiere, according to the network.
Compared to the season five premiere, Wednesday's episode - which faced stiff competition from Bravo's Top Chef and TNT's Leverage -- also drew a slight 2% audience gain among adults 18-49 and was flat among adults 25-54.
Ghost Hunters is produced by Craig Piligian's Pilgrim Films and Television.

I love Grant and Jason. We were so happy to see the new episode! I don't care if they find true paranormal activity or not - we just love the crew!
