How’s this for some paranormal Pride month news? Kristen Stewart, perhaps best known for her role as “Bella” from the Twilight series, is launching into a new supernatural project: executive producer of a new gay ghost hunters reality series.
It doesn’t have a title yet, but Variety unofficially dubbed it the “Super Gay Ghost-Hunting” show. Based, I’m assuming, on statements Stewart made during the casting call announcement via “ghost hunting hairstylist” Cj Romero’s Instagram.
“I am scarily excited to announce that I’m teaming up with Scout, the producers of Queer Eye, Legendary and The Hype, on the most gayest, most funnest, most titillating queer ghost-hunting show ever,” Stewart said. “We need to find the most incredible LGBTQ+ ghost hunters, paranormal specialists, mediums, psychics, investigators who will lead the pack on this super gay ghost-hunting adventure.”
But if you meet any of those requirements, how do you apply?
Well, there’s a website where you fill out an application: https://ghost.castingcrane.com. Let’s take a look at it.
The Gay Ghost Hunters Reality Show Application
It asks for the standard info you’d expect, such as your name, phone number, email, the city and state you live in, as well as your date of birth and current occupation. And of course since we’re in the age of social media, they want to know your Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube too. Well, the other two are optional/if applicable but Instagram is a required field to fill out.

- Ghost hunting

There’s a space to explain the experience you checked off. You also have to share how you got into the paranormal.

Check-In
Do you have any LGBTQ+ ghost-hunting friends that you think should apply for this show?
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.
Speaking of mystical, to learn how Courtney channeled her battle with cancer to conjure up this site, check out HJ’s Origin Story.
The LGBTQ+ friends I have are even more chicken than I am, believe it or not, or they are total skeptics. Oh well!
LOL! Then nope. I guess there’s no need to encourage them to apply. lol
