NEW YORK – November 18, 2015 – Syfy announces today pickups of GHOST HUNTERS Season 11 and PARANORMAL WITNESS Season 5. The popular paranormal series each receive 13 episode orders for 2016.
In Season 11 of GHOST HUNTERS, TAPS (The Atlantic Paranormal Society) founder Jason Hawes will lead investigations at reportedly haunted locations including the Cleveland, Ohio’s Midwest Railway Preservation Society, believed to be tied to the notorious, unsolved Cleveland Torso Murderer serial killer case; Crown Point, Indiana’s Old Lake County Jail, famed for being home to gangster John Dillinger… until he escaped; and the Toledo Yacht Club in Toledo, Ohio, said to be haunted by a boy who died over a century ago.
The fifth season of PARANORMAL WITNESS: TRUE TERROR will delve deeper into actual horror stories, while continuing to feature eyewitness accounts of the most frightening and compelling first person accounts of paranormal encounters, alongside dramatic reenactments of those experiences.
Both series will have their current season finales tonight, Wednesday, November 18. At 9PM, GHOST HUNTERS returns to author Edith Wharton’s home, The Mount in Lenox, Massachusetts, to investigate claims of increased paranormal activity since the team’s last visit in 2008. At 10PM, PARANORMAL WITNESS concludes with a terrifying account of a young family that moved into a house plagued by the vengeful spirit of their great aunt.”
What do you think? Do you watch either Paranormal Witness or Ghost Hunters? Are you excited both have been renewed?
Funny, one of the previous members (Kris) put out a v-log stating how fake the show is now. Sad it’s turned into such a publicity thing.
I love Ghost Hunters!! I would love to know, if there is one, what date in 2016 that Season 11 will air
