Aaron Goodwin was filming an episode of Ghost Adventures when he received a shocking phone call from police informing him that his wife, Victoria Goodwin, had been arrested for allegedly plotting to have him killed. The Ghost Adventures team captured the moment on camera, but the footage will not be included in the upcoming season. Showrunner Zak Bagans is reportedly in discussions with the network on whether to air the footage in a future season.
According to police, Victoria was conspiring with Florida inmate Grant Amato, who is serving a life sentence for murdering his own family. Authorities claim she messaged Amato, saying, “Am I a bad person? Because I chose to end his existence. Not divorce.” Police discovered the alleged plot after finding Amato’s contraband phone, which contained messages detailing a plan to pay over $11,000 for the hit. Victoria has denied that she ever intended to harm her husband.
Goodwin, known for his work as a paranormal investigator, was reportedly in shock when he received the news. Friends and colleagues have expressed their support, with Bagans calling it an “unimaginably difficult” situation. While Ghost Adventures is known for its eerie investigations, this real-life horror is unlike anything the team has encountered before.
It remains unclear whether the footage of Goodwin learning about the alleged murder plot will ever be released. However, fans of the show have expressed sympathy for Goodwin, with many hoping that he is able to heal from this deeply personal ordeal.
