On Friday, October 4, 2019 at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT, Travel Channel will premiere Haunted Salem: Live. It’s a special four-hour live ghost investigation in and around the historic city led by a team of the network’s biggest paranormal stars.
The team will simultaneously lead separate investigations as they seek to expose the hauntings reported in this notable city for hundreds of years.
The night will culminate with a séance conducted simultaneously by the team from each of the three locations.
The Locations
The immersive, multiplatform event will investigate ghostly activity at three historic locations tied to the infamous Salem Witch Trials of the late 17th century:
- The Ipswich Gaol – where prisoners who were condemned were held to die for practicing witchcraft.
- The Proctor House – home of John Proctor, the first male accused and hanged for practicing witchcraft.
- Rockafellas – the site of the original meeting house where over 150 people, including farmer Giles Corey, were accused and ordered to stand trial for practicing witchcraft. Giles Corey is believed to have cursed the entire village after he was tortured to death for his crimes.
The Team
The special event is hosted by Jamie Kaler. The all-star team includes:
- Jack Osbourne of Portals to Hell – a paranormal investigator and adventurer who has documented harrowing face-to-face encounters with the unexplainable in some of America’s darkest and most remote regions.
- Katrina Weidman of Portals to Hell – a paranormal researcher and investigator. She has worked on hundreds of cases of unexplained supernatural phenomena and interviewed thousands of witnesses alongside world-renowned paranormal researchers.
- Amy Bruni of Kindred Spirits – a paranormal investigator and researcher with a passion for helping people reclaim their lives from the mysteries of the unknown, and helping families reach the spirits of their loved ones.
- Adam Berry of Kindred Spirits – a paranormal investigator. His interest in the paranormal was ignited by an extremely haunting personal experience in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, after which he began investigating to bring answers to those experiencing strange activity.
- Chip Coffey of Kindred Spirits – a psychic, medium and paranormal investigator. His psychic abilities manifested when he was a young child. He works full time as a psychic and medium and has conducted thousands of readings for clients all around the world.
- Dalen Spratt of Ghost Brothers: Haunted Houseguests – a paranormal investigator who is addicted to history, both inside and outside the paranormal. He had his first paranormal encounter as a young child and it has stuck with him ever since.
- Juwan Mass of Ghost Brothers: Haunted Houseguests – a paranormal investigator with a passion for helping people and finding answers. He first delved into the paranormal at age 12, and is a natural born explorer.
- Marcus Harvey of Ghost Brothers: Haunted Houseguests – a paranormal investigator with an uncanny ability to provide peace and hope to those frightened by the paranormal.
- Dave Schrader of The Holzer Files – a paranormal investigator who became fascinated by the unexplained at an early age. He has traveled the world in search of the truth behind some of the most terrifying claims of the supernatural.
- Cindy Kaza of The Holzer Files – a psychic medium who had her first encounter when she was just 10 years old. She is continually searching for the truth about her gifts and testing the limits of her multi-faceted abilities, including “automatic writing” in which she allows the dead to communicate with her directly via free-form writing.

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.
