Syfy Picks Up New Reality Show: SCHOOL SPIRITS

Syfy partners with executive producers Mark Burnett (Survivor, The Apprentice) and Seth Jarrett (Celebrity Ghost Stories) for development on a one-hour reality series, School Spirits. Produced by Jarrett Creative Group, the project will tell true ghost stories of hauntings that have happened in colleges and high schools across the country. The stories will be told in first person narratives through the testimonials of real students, teachers, parents and staff that have encountered the paranormal activity.

"Paranormal encounters at high schools and colleges often become legendary stories spanning and touching generations," said Mark Stern, President of Original Programming, Syfy and Co-Head of Content for Universal Cable Productions. "We're very excited to partner with Mark and Seth as they bring these compelling, firsthand stories to life."

With year round acclaimed original series, events, blockbuster movies, classic science fiction and fantasy programming, a dynamic Web site (www.Syfy.com), and a portfolio of adjacent business (Syfy Ventures), Syfy is a passport to limitless possibilities.
