Ghost Loop, a new eight-episode series, will premiere on Travel Channel January 4 Friday, December 27 at 10 p.m. ET/PT.
Ghost Loops
When paranormal entities terrorize the living through endless and repetitive supernatural cycles, manifesting again and again in the same location, it is known as a “ghost loop.”
Travel Channel has found a team of highly specialized paranormal experts who focus on this distinct type of haunting. They’re stepping in to help both the living and the dead by re-creating trigger environments to draw out spirits. Will their attempts break cycles of trapped paranormal activity and restore peace?
The Experts
- Paranormal investigator and medium Sean Austin
- Empath Kris Star
- Researcher and tech advisor Chris Califf
- Design specialist Eric Vitale
- Tech support Matt Lytle
The Process
In each hour-long episode, the Ghost Loop team first examines and researches the client’s property and history. Then they perform a preliminary paranormal investigation. Taking their facts and findings, they formulate a plan they believe will help stop the haunting.
The team uses emotionally charged settings to draw out the entities, such as:
- Building a 1900s-era train compartment
- Replicating a tavern from the 1850s
- Constructing a 19th century baby’s nursery
They hope to engage the spirits, release the energy and break the loop once and for all – bringing peace to everyone involved.
The Series Premiere
During the series premiere, the team heads to Houston. Sounds of someone breaking into her home night after night terrifies homeowner Becky –only to encounter an aggressive male entity that routinely attacks her.
On their preliminary investigation, the group frighteningly gets “picked off” one by one:
- Kris gets sick
- A burning sensation on his body overwhelms Matt
- Califf and Sean get into a conflict fueled by the angry spirit
Through their research, they discover that a murder occurred in the home in 1921. A young woman shot her abusive boyfriend in self-defense. In order to stop the dangerous activity in Becky’s home, the team builds an environment that mimics the fateful night –and uses Kris to elicit the spirit.
Upcoming Episodes
“Cradle to the Grave” – Premieres Saturday, January 11 at 10 p.m. ET/PT
The team heads to Palatka, Florida, where an entity that crawls across the ceiling from one of her son’s bedrooms to another terrorizes homeowner Theresa. The team discovers her land has a violent and tragic past. It leads the team to investigate three locations: Theresa’s home, an alleged stillborn burial ground and a bridge where lynchings were once committed.
“Frozen in Fear” – Premieres Saturday, January 18 at 10 p.m. ET/PT
In Lubbock, Texas, the team tries to help rid their client, Michelle and her young children, of the ghost loop terrorizing them. However, they find themselves the target of a malevolent spirit known as the Tall Man. Upon researching local folklore, they discover the Tall Man was once a train robber who threw his victims off a Lubbock train trestle. By engaging the spirit in a 1900s-era train car trigger environment, the team attempts to cast him out.

Courtney Mroch is a globe-trotting restless spirit who’s both possessed by wanderlust and the spirit of adventure, and obsessed with true crime, horror, the paranormal, and weird days. Perhaps it has something to do with her genes? She is related to occult royalty, after all. Marie Laveau, the famous Voodoo practitioner of New Orleans, is one of her ancestors. (Yes, really! As explained here.) That could also explain her infatuation with skeletons.
