8. 28 Days Haunted (2022)

Directed by Joe Berlinger, the Netflix docuseries 28 Days Haunted is based on the theories of Ed and Lorraine Warren.

28 Days Haunted is Netflix's latest venture into the world of paranormal investigation, with three teams visiting the previously researched sites by famed paranormal investigation legends Lorraine and Ed Warren, who would go on to inspire The Conjuring film franchise.

Like other ghost-hunting shows, the teams have to stay in their haunted location, but instead of spending one night, they have to spend a full 28 days in their spot. The show's cast will be tested to their mental limits as they experience unexplainable sounds, feelings of dread, and things moving without any prompting. The series began streaming on October 21.

The Holzer Files season 2 went through reams of files to choose all-new investigations into Hans Holzer’s paranormal mysteries. The investigative series launches with a special Halloween week premiere on Thursday, Oct. 29 at 11 p.m. Et.

The team, led by investigator Dave Schrader, psychic medium Cindy Kaza, equipment technician Shane Pittman and researcher Gabe Roth, investigates true hauntings from the recently discovered case files of America’s first ghost hunter, Dr. Hans Holzer.

“We knew when we greenlit The Holzer Files, we had something special on our hands, but we didn’t realize just how much of a paranormal pandora’s box we’d opened until we started filming,” Travel Channel general manager Matthew Butler said in a statement. “Hans was a prolific chronicler of hundreds of ghost hunts, preserving everything from photographs, case notes, letters, film footage and chilling audio recordings from his interview subjects and trance mediums. Most...

The Holzer Files season 2 will arrive on Travel Channel in 2020.

The Holzer Files will remain open. Travel Channel announced today that its ghosthunting show has been renewed for a second season. The Holzer Files season 2 will premiere in late 2020.

The unscripted paranormal series re-examines the investigations of famed ghost hunter Hans Holzer through the lens of popular radio show host and investigator Dave Schrader, psychic medium Cindy Kaza, equipment expert Shane Pittman, and researcher Gabe Roth – with guidance by Holzer’s own daughter, Alexandra Holzer.

The announcement comes days ahead of Holzer’s 100th birthday. Before his death in 2009 at age 89, Holzer had authored more than 120 books on the paranormal, extraterrestrial life, witchcraft, and more. During a four-decade-long career, which famously included his involvment in the “Amityville Horror” house case in 1977, Holzer also taught parapsychology at the New York Institute of Technology, and worked as a consultant...

Parapsychologist Dr. Hans Holzer changed the face of paranormal research more than a half-century ago, and in Travel Channel’s latest mystical show, “The Holzer Files,” his daughter Alexandra Holzer proudly carries on his legacy by revisiting his groundbreaking – and frequently creepy — work.

On “The Holzer Files,” true hauntings dating back to the 1950s that were documented in letters, photographs and super-chilling audio and visual recordings by America’s first ghost hunter, Hans Holzer, are being reopened and explored by a dedicated paranormal team led by investigator Dave Schrader, psychic medium Cindy Kaza, equipment tech Shane Pittman and Holzer’s daughter, Alexandra.

“I grew up in that environment, and not just with Dad, but with Mother,” Alexandra Holzer said, adding that her mom was a Russian countess. “They both had that background in different areas. And it’s fascinating. So I really can’t get away from it.”
