SPECIAL LIVE EVENT
EXORCISM: LIVE!
Two-Hour Live Event Airs Friday, October 30 at 9/8c
The first-ever live televised exorcism in U.S. history will revisit the story and the frightening house that inspired the iconic movie The Exorcist on its 66th anniversary. In 1949 at a house in St. Louis, an exorcism was performed on 14-year-old Roland Doe to rid him of demonic possession. No one has ever attempted to cleanse the house of the spirits and demons that remain there, until now.
EXORCISM: LIVE! will feature the cast of Destination America's hit series GHOST ASYLUM, the Tennessee Wraith Chasers, as well as world-renowned psychic medium, Chip Coffey. Follow along as the team embarks on what is considered by many a dangerous mission to investigate the home for paranormal activity, connect with its spirits and, once and for all, bring peace to the most haunted home in America.
SEASON PREMIERES
GHOST ASYLUM
Season 2 Returns with All-New Episodes Friday, October 16 at 9/8c
Phantoms, demons, and shadow creatures beware! The hit series
GHOST ASYLUM is back following the Tennessee Wraith Chasers (TWC) ghost-hunting team as they investigate America's most frightening asylums, penitentiaries and haunted hotspots - the kind of places that inspire horror movies. "Respect, detect, collect" is TWC's motto and the core process they follow in each episode. Stepping into abandoned locations that only the bravest dare to enter, TWC meshes scientific methodology and ghost-hunting gadgets with their Tennessee wit and thirst for adventure. Their goal isn't just to communicate with
RESTLESS souls, but to physically capture them in custom-created ghost traps and help them find peace beyond the gates of their ghostly tomb.
THE DEMON FILES
All-New Series World Premieres Sunday, November 1 at 10/9c
Ralph Sarchie's life is divided between two very different worlds. In one he's a decorated sergeant for the NYPD who proudly protected and served his city for over 18 years. In the other he's a highly regarded demonologist, helping real American families who fear they may be threatened by the demonic. His book Beware the Night details how he uses his cop-hardened savvy to combat supernatural evil at every turn and served as the inspiration for the 2014 movie Deliver Us from Evil. Now in THE DEMON FILES, Sarchie and his team travel across the country meeting with people apparently suffering from demonic activity.
A HAUNTING
Season 8 Premieres Sunday, November 22 at 10/9c
In A HAUNTING, real evil lurks in the darkest shadows and in the most ordinary places. Through spellbinding first-person accounts, each episode profiles the story of one family traumatized by unknown supernatural forces. New this season,
A HAUNTING gives a fresh look and feel to dramatic recreations of some of the scariest stories known to man, leaving viewers with a lingering sense that
LIFE AFTER death is much more powerful than anyone could possibly imagine.
