Ghostober Returns To The Travel Channel For Halloween 2019

The US Travel Channel is this year continuing its tradition of bringing viewers 31 days of Halloween-themed programming for Ghostober.

As always, the channel's schedule will go ghostly from Tuesday, October 1st and and culminate with 'Ghost Adventures' annual special, which will this year be broadcast from the real life house that inspired 'The Conjuring' movie.

The month-long programming event promises viewers spine-chilling tales of ghosts, witches and the unexplained that will leave you hiding under the covers. The schedule is made up of fright-filled premieres of new series, Halloween specials and returning favourites.

This year's Halloween schedule includes 'Haunted Salem: Live', a special four-hour live ghost investigation in Salem, Massachusetts, one of the America's most haunted cities. The investigation of three historic locations tied to the infamous Salem Witch Trials will be led by a team of the channel's biggest paranormal stars and promises to be an immersive multi-platform event.

Ghostober and 'Destination Fear' will also take viewers on a frightening cross-country road trip to the most haunted abandoned buildings in the US. The show follows Dakota Laden, his sister Chelsea, and best friend Tanner, as they face fears head-on in a terrifying sleepover and psychological experiment like no other.

Matthew Butler from the network said, "we're pulling out all the stops for Ghostober this year – from a live ghost hunt in Salem, Massachusetts, and an iconic investigation of the house that inspired 'The Conjuring', to reopening the case files of America's first ghost hunter, Hans Holzer. And we have the biggest stars and experts in the field to take us to every haunted, cobweb-covered corner in America, including Zak Bagans and the GAC, Jason Hawes and his team of paranormal pioneers and newcomer Dakota Laden, who will bring fear to a new level. There's no better – and scarier – place to be this October than tuned in to Travel Channel."

The big news is that Zak Bagans and the Ghost Adventures team will embark on a two-hour live investigation entitled, 'Ghost Adventures: Curse of the Harrisville Farmhouse'.

The special will see the crew investigate the infamous house in Rhode Island where the real life ghost story that inspired the first movie in James Wan's Conjuring movie franchise took place.

It's also been confirmed that the team will feature in a new spin-off mini-series called 'Ghost Adventures: Serial Killer Spirits' which will premiere on the Travel Channel as part of Ghostober.
