Shocking moment Ghost Adventures star learns about wife’s murder-for-hire plot while filming episode
The Ghost Adventures host was in the middle of shooting an episode when he got some horrific news
A new Ghost Adventures episode is set to show the moment that Aaron Goodwin learns of his wife’s plot to have him murdered.
Earlier this year, fans of the Ghost Adventures TV show were left shocked after learning some dramatic news, completely unrelated to the supernatural.
Police confirmed that the wife of one of the show's hosts, Aaron Goodwin, had been arrested and hit with some very serious charges.
Victoria Goodwin, who married Aaron in 2022, had been arrested for an alleged plot to hire a hitman to murder her partner.

She was arrested in March and faced the charges of solicitation to commit murder and conspiracy to commit murder, according to booking information in Clark County, Nevada.
In the months that followed, it was revealed that Victoria had allegedly been contacting a prison inmate in Florida named Grant Amato.
She had reportedly been in a relationship with Amato and in one alleged exchange of messages said: “Am I a bad person? Because I chose to end his existence. Not divorce.”
At the time, speaking to TMZ, Goodwin admitted that he was blindsided by the news and believed he was still in a happy marriage.
Now, a new episode of Ghost Adventurers is set to depict the moment Goodwin receives a call and learns that his wife has been arrested.
The footage, obtained by TMZ, shows Aaron explaining how he takes photos and videos in complete darkness when he gets a message on his phone.
Speaking to his co-star Jay Wasley, Aaron said: “Bro, police are at my house.”
He then insists he has to go outside and proceeds to take a call.
Wasley then spoke to the camera himself and said: “I don’t know what is going on. Aaron is getting a phone call or something and said that the police are at his house. He said that he had to go outside.”
A voice-over then explained that the show would not be showing any more footage, but noted that this is the moment Aaron found out the situation.
In June, when Victoria appeared in court, Aaron spoke to US Weekly about how heartbreaking the whole situation was.
He said: “For seven years I thought I was in the most loving relationship of marriage with my best friend, someone who I trusted in whole heart and laughed with every day.
“Someone who made me feel like I was settled - like I was her one and only. I was loyal to her and [did] whatever I could to make her happy.
"I thought we were something very special, and so did everyone else.”
Victoria ultimately accepted a plea deal, which saw her plead guilty to conspiracy to commit murder. She was sentenced to between three and seven-and-a-half years behind bars.
