Earlier this week we shared that Travel Channel had announced the return of their “Ghostober” programming event, which would be anchored by new episodes of “Ghost Adventures” including a Halloween special at real-life Conjuring house. Now, Travel Channel has shared additional details about other premieres slated for the “Ghostober” event.
To kick off “Ghostober,” Travel Channel will explore scary locations from around the world with “Most Terrifying Places.” The new series digs into the history and lore behind some of the world’s most frightening locales with cinematic reenactments, and interviews with locals and historians. “Most Terrifying Places” premieres Tuesday, October 1 at 10 PM ET/PT.
Then, on October 3, the Travel Channel will premiere “The Holzer Files,” a new series that re-opens the cases of America’s first ghost hunter, Dr. Hans Holzer.
In “The Holzer Files,” a dedicated paranormal team – led by investigator Dave Schrader, psychic medium Cindy Kaza and equipment technician Shane Pittman – investigates terrifying true hauntings from the recently discovered case files of America’s first ghost hunter, Dr. Hans Holzer. Recognized as the “father of the paranormal,” Holzer’s legendary four-decade exploration into disturbing hauntings like the Amityville Horror house helped spawn legions of supernatural enthusiasts, more than 120 books and even inspired Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis to write “Ghostbusters.” Now, for the first time ever, Travel Channel exclusively reopens Holzer’s most captivating case files – digging into thousands of documents, letters, photographs and chilling audio and visual recordings dating back to the 1950s.
On October 6, the network will premiere “Witches of Salem,” a four-part docu-drama that chronologically unravels the rapid descent of Salem during the 1690s, capturing the day-to-day hysteria that unfolds and put an affluent New England community under siege. From reports of possession by the devil, to mass arrests, sensational trials and public hangings, each hour-long episode is an in-depth account of the eight months of “satanic panic” that overtook an otherwise sleepy Massachusetts village.
This is just a glimpse at the first week of “Ghostober.” More programming announcements are expected in the coming weeks.
