Haunted Salem: Live – Ghostober Special Event – 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT
Haunted Salem: Live is a four-hour LIVE ghost hunt from one of America’s most haunted cities: Salem, Massachusetts. L
Led by a team of Travel Channel’s paranormal experts – Katrina Weidman and Jack Osbourne (Portals to Hell), Amy Bruni, Adam Berry and Chip Coffey (Kindred Spirits), Dalen Spratt, Juwan Mass and Marcus Harvey (Ghost Brothers: Haunted Houseguests), Dave Schrader and Cindy Kaza (The Holzer Files) – the immersive, multiplatform event will investigate three of Salem’s most haunted locations tied to the infamous witch trials.
Teams will simultaneously lead separate paranormal investigations around the city as they seek to expose the hauntings that have plagued this historic city for hundreds of years. Locations include the Ipswich Gaol, where prisoners condemned to die for practicing witchcraft were held; the Proctor House – home of John Proctor, the first male accused and hanged for practicing witchcraft; and 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.
Through an on-location, live video stream, fans can monitor all of the Haunted Salem: Live activity on Travel Channel’s Facebook Live feed and comment on any findings in real time, helping direct the team where to investigate next. Additionally, Travel Channel will be live-tweeting from the event and engaging with fans via Twitter.

Witches of Salem – Premiere of the four-part miniseries
PART ONE – 10 p.m. ET/PT
An inexplicable evil torments the young girls of Reverend Samuel Parris’ household. Like a plague; it swiftly spreads through the Puritan community of Salem Village. Fearing the influence of the devil, the afflicted make accusations of witchcraft.
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.
Speaking of mystical, to learn how Courtney channeled her battle with cancer to conjure up this site, check out HJ’s Origin Story.
