Shocking Revelation on "Ghost Adventures"

In a recent episode of "Ghost Adventures," titled "Hollydale Asylum of Hell," Aaron Goodwin learned that his wife, Victoria Goodwin, had been arrested for plotting to have him killed. This episode aired on October 22, 2025, and features a moment where Goodwin receives a FaceTime call from the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police, informing him of his wife's actions while he was filming at an abandoned mental hospital in Downey, California. Victoria Goodwin, 32, was arrested in March 2025 on charges of solicitation to commit murder and conspiracy to commit murder after allegedly communicating with Florida inmate Grant Amato about hiring a hitman to kill her husband.

Details of the Conspiracy

Victoria Goodwin was accused of planning the murder as early as October 2024, with police reports indicating that she had sent messages to Amato discussing payment and methods for the hit. The arrest report revealed that she had offered $11,515 for the murder, with an upfront payment of $2,500. Following her arrest, she pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit murder in April 2025 and was sentenced to 36 to 90 months in prison in June 2025. During her court appearance, she expressed remorse, stating, “I’m so immensely sorry for the pain and anxiety I’ve caused you and the betrayal you undoubtedly and rightfully feel by my actions.”

Aaron Goodwin's Response

Aaron Goodwin, 49, has publicly shared his emotional struggle following the revelation of his wife's plot. In multiple Instagram posts, he expressed his reluctance to watch the episode, stating, “I won’t be watching this episode cause I don’t want to relive that night again.” He described the past year as “the worst year of my life,” emphasizing the ongoing emotional turmoil he faces. Goodwin filed for divorce shortly after Victoria's arrest, citing irreconcilable differences and stating that their views had become incompatible.

Criticism & Opposition

While Aaron Goodwin has received support from fans and the media, there has been criticism regarding the sensationalism of the situation, particularly in how it is portrayed on "Ghost Adventures." Some viewers have expressed concern about the ethical implications of airing such personal trauma for entertainment purposes.
