“Ghost Hunters” hosts Jason Hawes and Grant Wilson will be in Snug Harbor today with a special guest — Meredith Vieira.
The “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire” host hit it off with Hawes and Wilson when they competed on “Millionaire” for charity. She asked to be on “Ghost Hunters” (she’s a fan) and they readily agreed to take Vieira on their investigation of Matron’s Cottage on Snug Harbor, which was built in the 19th century and was once a retirement home for old salts.
Tales have been told of sightings at Matron’s Cottage including a mysterious woman in white — lamenting the loss of her husband and son — and other weird, unexplained phenomena.
Vieira’s episode of “Ghost Hunters” is scheduled to air Oct. 26 at 9 p.m. on Syfy; the episode of “Millionaire” on which Hawes and Grant competed will air, appropriately enough, on Oct. 31 — Halloween.

Books: Onetime Ch. 7 anchor Larry Kane, who spent years behind anchor desk in Philly, has written “Death By Deadline,” a novel about the news business which, coincindetally enough, is set in the City of Brotherly Love.
The plot revolves around a college student who’s mistakenly labeled as a murder suspect by a local TV station — and is found dead with a bullet hole in his chest just hours after being released by the cops.
Kane, who also wrote “Ticket to Ride” — about his time spent with The Beatles during their trips to America in 1964 and ’65 — has also authored “Lennon Revealed” (2007) and “Larry Kane’s Philadelphia” (2000).
And . . . Jerry Springer says he’s not one of those celebrities who wants to write a memoir.
“If I wrote a book I’d want it to be political, and what’s the market for that?” he told me recently. “What I don’t want to do is write an autobiography, because who cares? But if you’re gonna do a political book, and it’s really gonna be your book, you have to block out everything else. I don’t want to do one of those ‘written with’ books.
“What I want to write about is what I honestly believe about these [political] issues. I realize I’m left of the mainstream — and probably too liberal for most of where America is right now.”
