A&E is getting into the Halloween spirit with a full night of paranormal programming on October 30! It’s the premier of World’s Biggest Ghost Hunt: Pennhurst Asylum and the season finale of Ghost Hunters.

First, at 8pm ET/PT, A&E embarks on the longest continuously filmed paranormal investigation in television history with World’s Biggest Ghost Hunt: Pennhurst Asylum.
Paranormal investigators Ali Horrick, Katie Burr, Zak Heino, Max Baumle and Austin George were given unprecedented access to investigate one of the most haunted places in the U.S. They spent two weeks eating, sleeping, and working in Pennhurst.
I had a chance to chat with Max and Zak about their investigation and the show. You can listen to it on the podcast. I’m really intrigued to see what they found, what they debunked, and if they show any evidence of all the Red Bull Max said they consumed. (Pallets full, according to him.)
Here’s a small clip:

Second, at 10pm ET/PT, there’s the highly anticipated season one finale of Ghost Hunters. (Holy cow the finale already? Doesn’t it seem like it just started?)
The team –Grant Wilson, Daryl Marston, Kristen Luman, Brandon Alvis, Mustafa Gatollari, Brian Murray and Richel Stratton – capture compelling evidence of a figure lurking inside an abandon 19th century hospital in Texas.
Here’s a clip of that:

Have you been watching Ghost Hunters? Are you intrigued to see what the World’s Biggest Ghost Hunt will offer?
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.
