Who are the Tennessee Wraith Chasers?
The Tennessee Wraith Chasers (TWC) are a ‘serious’ team of paranormal investigators who don’t take themselves too seriously. You will note that each investigation is packed full of Southern charm and wit–but when they are ready to get down to business, there is no messing around! TWC’s motto is “respect, detect, collect”, meaning they rely on a “unique combination of scientific method and spiritual faith to navigate investigations.” Having grown up in a historic and haunted area of Tennessee has given the team a yearning to make sense of the mysterious things they’ve experienced through paranormal research. TWC takes great pride in establishing trusted relationships with the witnesses and each team member to leaves no stone unturned. The Wraith Chasers made their television debut as the stars of Destination America’s series “Ghost Asylum,” in which they investigated America’s most frightening asylums, sanitariums, penitentiaries and haunted hotspots.
