With The Ghost Town Terror and now the forthcoming new series Ghosts of Devil’s Perch, it seems we may have a new paranormal TV trend on our hands, pardner. The Holzer Files alum, Cindy Kaza and Dave Schrader, are teaming up with a new member, K.D. Stafford, to investigate hauntings in Butte, Montana. The all-new Travel Channel series, Ghosts of Devil’s Perch, premieres on Sunday, August 21 at 9 p.m. ET/PT. It also starts streaming the same day on discovery+.
Let’s saddle up and take a closer look at what it’s all about.
Ghosts of Devil’s Perch
A mystery is buried beneath the streets of Butte, Montana, and the spirits tethered to the historic mining town’s past are rising to the surface with clues.
The discovery of copper in the 1880s turned Butte’s Copper Barons into some of the wealthiest men in America. But the hills that glittered in the sun also cast sinister shadows of greed and vice at night. This led some to brand the mountain town “The Devil’s Perch.”
In recent years, the town’s worked on revitalizing itself. But it seems every renovation project digs up a paranormal nightmare, with residents and businesses reporting terrifying ghostly encounters. In an unlikely partnership, Mayor J.P. Gallagher and Sheriff Ed Lester have called in an elite team of paranormal investigators to help.
When investigator Dave Schrader, tech expert K.D. Stafford, and psychic medium Cindy Kaza arrive in Butte, they find paranormal activity that startles even them. The team unearths disturbances ranging from feuds between rival mine owners to lovers resorting to violence to vice-fueled horrors lurking in the town’s past.
As the disturbing cases begin to form a pattern, the team discovers an army of trapped spirits crying for help. They refocus their efforts on finding who —or what— is causing so much anguish. Resorting to threats and violence, the dark entity beneath Butte goes on the attack. The spiritual awakening is in full force and quickly forces the team to question if they’ll make it out of Devil’s Perch unharmed.
Will they solve —and survive— this investigation? And will the town continue to be haunted by spirits of the past, or will they help it finally break free?
“Towns around the nation frequently approach us, desperate to resolve lingering, unexplained disturbances and lay them to rest. When we heard about the disturbances in the small town of Butte, we knew they needed an elite team of paranormal investigators. We immediately reached out to our expert trio, Dave, Cindy and K.D., to confront whatever forces reside there. In Ghosts of Devil’s Perch, we explore its rich history to unlock the town’s fear. Along the way, we lay witness to a few surprises,” said Matthew Butler, group senior vice president, Travel Channel and Paranormal Streaming Content.

Have you ever been to Butte, Montana?
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.

Isn’t it funny that I don’t actually know if I’ve been to Butte? My parents enjoyed traveling, and we went to so many states, and we did go to Montana, but I’m not sure about Butte. Sounds familiar, but… Well, it would have been when I was quite young. I’m not going to remember everything from that age!
But you’ve been to Montana, which is pretty cool! And totally understandable you don’t remember for sure if you were young. Hard to remember some of those early memories!
