NEW YORK (May 20, 2019) – Morgan City, Louisiana, is experiencing an especially troubling spike of unusual emergency calls – unexplained encounters with the ghosts of the bayou city’s turbulent past that are frightening its citizens. In the all-new Travel Channel series, “Ghosts of Morgan City,” premiering on Friday, June 21 at 9 p.m. ET/PT, Police Chief James “Bo” Blair is now looking to his colleague from another jurisdiction for assistance.
Chief Blair learns that paranormal activity in Shepherdstown, West Virginia, has quieted down since that town’s police chief, Mike King, worked with a specialty team to solve a rash of hauntings last year. In search of advice, Chief Blair contacts Chief King, eventually following his lead and recruiting local paranormal investigator Jereme Leonard, who teams up with former FBI agent Ben Hansen and psychic medium Sarah Lemos to look into the incidents. In each of the eight one-hour episodes, the paranormal team attempts to figure out what’s causing the recent uptick of bizarre activity by looking for patterns and clues in the new cases they investigate.
With help from local historian Diane Wiltz, the team digs up the disturbing history associated with the area and begins crossing-over some of the restless spirits wreaking havoc on the small community. When they learn from Morgan City Mayor Frank “Boo” Grizzaffi that the hauntings have spread throughout the parish, the team begins working with the police departments of Patterson, Berwick and Franklin to uncover the truth behind the ghostly infestation of St. Mary Parish.
“We knew we had a whole new series when we heard about all the unnerving hauntings in the bayou,” said Matthew Butler, general manager, Travel Channel. “Morgan City and surrounding St. Mary Parish are filled with rich history, deep-rooted superstitions and larger-than-life characters, and it’s all set against the beautiful, yet eerie backdrop of Cajun Country.”
In the premiere episode, Jereme Leonard, Ben Hansen and Sarah Lemos receive an emergency call from the Morgan City Police Department about a shapeshifting mist in the area. The puzzling details take on new meaning when they discover the mist has ties to the first female executed in Louisiana. As the case wraps up, the team receives more distressing calls from law enforcement outside Morgan City, sending them to every corner of the parish, looking for answers. From a plantation with a history of voodoo and a violent Civil War battle to a family home haunted by the spirit of a young girl to the team’s own headquarters within the city’s historic archives, each clue brings the group one step closer to ending a haunted tug of war.

If they canceled Ghost of Morgan county they messed up. It was one of the more “credible” ghost shows with the police depts and citizens all taking part. I cant believe the Dead Files is still on. It’s just so easy to see through. Hate it.
Really liked Ghost of Morgan County.
Thank You Donna! I’m as you for I’d truly disappointed they’d drop this wonderful show and keep dead files which has the worse so called physic medium is so disgustingly untruthful. I, do love Steve that so called physics is fake! I’m no lover or fan for her. This show w/h a Ben Hanson is so much a, delight for my good friend and I, speak of. We, each call to remind the other to not forget! Please do not remove this show! In the Parish of Lafourche, Thibodaux, La. has many spirits to bring to peace! Thank you Donna!
I love Ghost of Morgan City it was it was very interesting the area they were in has alot of paranormal activity I truly hope to see a new season investigating other areas of Louisiana
I, second that! Best entertainment of all times,. Love Ben Hanson! Please return!
This show has all the authenticity of Scooby Doo. It’s such a great area to have a show but this one is just too ridiculous. I totally agree with the previous comment that this show lacks any credibility and is for entertainment only. I have watched every episode aired hoping that it will improve yet somehow I am left wondering when the ghost is going to say “ and I would have gotten away with it if it wasn’t for you kids”.
Now Robert, shame on you! That nurse spirit is as real as one can see it’s real! My starts! I’m from a, Parish I’d been born and lived in our my life! I’ve seen and experienced multi spiritual beings. One night after my fiancé and I, had returned to my home from his picking me up from work! We’d heard what I, experienced every night in a, haunted home my parents had purchased. This spirit on my bedroom would do their thing by ripping off every photo, High School football banners, clothes in the closet as well all my book… Read more »
I think the paranormal shows have now crossed the line, granted it might have been going on for awhile. But I wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt. I guess it is more of a entertaining show then anytype of real paranormal investigation.
Mr. Rich to each it’s own! It’s a, true reality in these small places in the city! It’s my favorite show! Since you’d not liked it watch someone as that idiot Show, dead files, battle bots( now, these shows are ridiculous. This paranormal show which not is headed by Ben Hanson done beautifully, being a, Louisiana southern bell! I’ve seen attacked by spirits! If you didn’t like it just do not ruin it for we southern bells enjoy it and wish to see more! Take Natchitoches, La. as well more places! Thank you for a, wonderful program and I’d loved… Read more »
