Ghost Hunters is coming back to TV in 2021. And Halloween is the lucky (perhaps ominous) occasion to change things up. The show will return with its original cast including Jason Hawes, Steve Gonsalves, Dave Tango, and Shari DeBenedetti.
Sharon DeBenedetti has made a name for herself as one of the best paranormal investigators and a very glamorous reality TV star.
If you want to know more about the woman who put herself between eccentric men and terrifying ghosts and was able to establish herself as a force to be reckoned with, read on.
Shari Debenedetti on Ghost Hunters
Shari first appeared in Ghost Hunters in November 2015. It was the 11th episode of the 2015 season (215th episode overall) and was titled Innocent Until Proven Dead.
Shari, then credited as Shari Ventura, appeared as a guest investigator and then continued to appear as a guest investigator in two more episodes before the season ended.
And then, she became a regular cast member in the 2016 season and appeared in all 13 episodes of that season.
The show took a brief hiatus from 2016 to 2019. And Shari did not return for the 2019 or 2020 seasons. However, she returned again for the 2021 season.
The 2021 season kicks off with a “special Halloween event” on October 31, 2021. The trailer for the new season debuted a while ago. And it starts with the statement, “Over 15 years of investigation together have led to this moment.”
In addition to the four core members (Jason, Steve, Dave, and Shari), the show also features guests like Amy Bruni, Adam Berry, and many others.
The new season will be available on Discovery+.
Shari Debenedetti’s husband
We know nothing about Shari DeBenedetti’s husband except that his last name is Ventura. And we only know that because Shari chose not to use her married name (which is Shari Ventura) and instead used his maiden name.
Shari has mentioned her son a few times on social media. In 2016, she tweeted that her son had turned 11.
Then there were a couple of Instagram posts in 2017. In one, her son was doing a “little bit of research.” And in another, her son met Kane and asked him to sign his mask.

Shari Debenedetti’s career
Shari is a professional paranormal investigator. And she has been doing it for almost 25 years.
It all started when Shari lived in a haunted house. She often heard footsteps, knocks, voices. Sometimes, she was tied to her bed. And one time, a full-bodied ghost appeared in her room.
Shari first started investigating to solve her own problem. Then she started helping others who were having the same problem. And while she was doing that, she met Jason Hawes and his group TAPS (The Atlantic Paranormal Society).
Shari worked off-camera for TAPS for years before she finally appeared with Jason and TAPS in Ghost Hunters season 10 (2015). In addition to Ghost Hunters, Shari has also appeared on the Travel Channel’s supernatural reality series Ghost Nation.
In 2018, Shari also acted in the movie called Red Army Hooligans.
In an interview, when asked about her ultimate goal when receiving reports of paranormal phenomena, Shari said “I want to teach my clients everything I know and have experienced, and I want them to realize that these things can happen.”
Long before she was on reality TV and famous, Shari was doing her own research and working her day job. She was and still is a real estate agent. She has also previously worked as a Principal Coordinator for Weston & Sampson and an Executive Assistant for International Aquatic Design, Inc.
