Into the Unknown

A longtime adventurer, survivalist and military veteran, Cliff Simon is no stranger to danger and battling the extreme. Fascinated by the supernatural all his life, Simon is now taking his expertise on a personal mission, deep into the murky world of the paranormal in “Into the Unknown.” On a hunt for answers to the nightmarish myths and legends that have haunted locals for millennia – swamp monsters, mythical beasts, ancient aliens and mysterious phenomena – Simon uses his skills to hike, swim and even crawl his way into places most wouldn’t dare go. Whether he’s spending the night inside the ancient lava tubes of California’s Mount Shasta or trudging his way through the deadliest swamp in America, Simon’s journey takes him to haunting places where the wilderness and paranormal intersect.

The Osbournes Want to Believe

In Travel Channel’s new series, “The Osbournes Want To Believe,” Jack Osbourne is determined to make his parents, Ozzy and Sharon, full-fledged paranormal believers. They might be known as the first family of darkness, but when it comes to the paranormal, legendary rocker Ozzy Osbourne and his wife, “The Talk” co-host Sharon Osbourne, are borderline skeptics. Determined to turn them fully to the other side, Jack reunites with Ozzy and Sharon to share the craziest, most jaw-dropping videos of supernatural activity ever caught on camera. From Bigfoot to UFOs, poltergeists, creepy dolls and unexplained apparitions, the couple will review – and critique – each caught-on-camera moment, a compilation of Jack’s favorite pieces of evidence. Not ones to shy away from honesty and humor, there’s no shortage of fun, antics and lively commentary in the Osbourne screening room.

Paranormal Caught on Camera

Some of the most amazing, eye-opening and downright scary paranormal videos from around the world are featured as a panel of experts breaks down the footage and analyzes what exactly the eyewitnesses captured. Insights from some of the most knowledgeable specialists in the field and firsthand accounts from the people lucky enough – or perhaps unlucky enough – to witness these strange phenomena for themselves just might make a believer of even the biggest skeptics out there.

Paranormal Nightshift

Night is something we lock the door against. Those who work the graveyard shift must venture into the darkness while the rest of us sleep safely. In each episode of “Paranormal Nightshift,” we tell three horrifying stories of paranormal encounters during the night shift. By day the workplace is rational and efficient – but at night these same offices, hotels, eateries and even open highways become the domain of ghosts, demons and the inexplicable.
