The 7 New Series of Travel Channel’s “Ghostober 2019” Lineup

In “It’s Going to Be a Hell of an October on Travel Channel: Lineup Revealed,” I said details on the new “Ghostober” series and specials would follow. As promised, here they are.

I’ll start with the new series and cover the specials in another post.

Included with the show descriptions are how many episodes you can look forward to for each, as well as how long they are. And if you enjoy getting social and discussing while you watch via Twitter and such, you’ll also find the hashtags to use too.

Ready to see what scary new series are coming your way? Thought so.

Without further ado, here’s the lineup:

1. MOST TERRIFYING PLACES

Premieres Tuesday, October 1 at 10 p.m. ET/PT

There are things in this world that are not of this world. Sinister, shadowy creatures walk among us and Most Terrifying Places uncovers their most horrifying haunts. From the restless dead lurking in gilded theaters to cursed ships inhabited by skeletal crews, each episode explores earth’s gravest locations. But beware – this series is not for the faint of heart.

2. THE HOLZER FILES

Premieres Thursday, October 3 at 10 p.m. ET/PT

In The Holzer Files, a dedicated paranormal team – led by investigator Dave Schrader, psychic medium Cindy Kaza and equipment technician Shane Pittman – investigates terrifying true hauntings from the recently discovered case files of America’s first ghost hunter, Dr. Hans Holzer.

Recognized as the “father of the paranormal,” Holzer’s legendary four-decade exploration into disturbing hauntings like the Amityville Horror house helped spawn legions of supernatural enthusiasts, more than 120 books and even inspired Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis to write Ghostbusters.

Now, for the first time ever and with the help of Holzer’s daughter, Alexandra Holzer, Travel Channel exclusively reopens Holzer’s most captivating case files – digging into thousands of documents, letters, photographs and chilling audio and visual recordings dating back to the 1950s.

3. GHOST NATION

Premieres Friday, October 11 at 9 p.m. ET/PT

The “OG” paranormal investigators that started it all – Jason Hawes, Steve Gonsalves and Dave Tango – are back for all-new adventures to the other side in Ghost Nation. Only this time, they’re not alone.

The pioneers of the genre respond to urgent calls from local paranormal investigators nationwide who have reached a dead end with their harrowing personal cases, helping homeowners who are dealing with high-stakes hauntings, and people whose lives have been overtaken by unexplained phenomena.

Armed with brand new state-of-the-art technology and their meticulous methodology, the team –under their new banner, United Paranormal Research Organization (UPRO)– will face the most challenging and dangerous paranormal mysteries the country has to offer. With the help of their local contacts, they’ll embed themselves in the community, conducting robust multi-day investigations in an effort to track down the true source of these hauntings and restore peace to the living … and the dead.

4. HOMETOWN HORROR

Premieres Friday, October 11 at 10 p.m. ET/PT

Many white picket fence communities across America are gripped with tales of horror, mystery and intrigue that have lingered over these towns for centuries –dark forces haunting unassuming communities with stories of the undead, ghouls, monsters and things that go bump in the night. Hometown Horror delves into these quiet communities to examine what is behind these stories and myths, and to shine a light on what may be lurking in the shadows of small-town America – such as the Pigman of Angola in New York, the hauntings of circus town Baraboo, Wisconsin, the blood-stained history of Perryville, Kentucky, and more.

5. THE ALASKA TRIANGLE

Premieres Monday, October 21 at 10 p.m. ET/PT

Alaska is the most sparsely populated of all the states. In a vast expanse of rugged wilderness, one area – known as “The Alaska Triangle” – has been home to so much unusual activity that it has struck fear across Alaska and the world. More people disappear in this area than anywhere else in the United States, with countless sightings of strange creatures, impossible moving lights in the sky, unexplained phenomena and even malevolent ghosts.

Are lay lines and electromagnetic anomalies within the Triangle causing these bizarre events? Or is something more sinister at play?

From strange reports of military personnel seeing UFOs and missing aircrafts that have vanished without a trace, to sightings of fearful monsters and an underground alien base hidden inside a mountain, each episode of The Alaska Triangle seeks to unlock the paranormal mysteries hidden within this foreboding location.

(10 one-hour episodes) #AlaskaTriangle

6. MY HORROR STORY

Premieres Monday, October 21 at 11 p.m. ET/PT

In My Horror Story, ordinary people share their chilling true tales of surviving the unknown. From hellish possessions and blood-drawing spirits to alien abductions and otherworldly creatures, these brave storytellers are shaken to the core as they recall their grave encounters with dark paranormal forces. It’s a wild, horror-filled ride through the supernatural. (10 one-hour episodes) #MyHorrorStory

7. DESTINATION FEAR

Premieres Saturday, October 26 at 10 p.m. ET/PT

Destination Fear may be the most terrifying road trip ever attempted. Maverick paranormal explorer Dakota Laden –who has spent the last few years investigating the frightening unknown with Zak Bagans and the Ghost Adventures crew– takes his sister, Chelsea, and best friend, Tanner, across the country in an RV to spend the night in the most haunted locations in America, testing the limits of human fear.

His goal: to face their deepest, darkest fears and prove that the only way we can understand the paranormal is if we push ourselves to the limits of fear and overcome the terror it creates in us.
