TRAVEL CHANNEL’S WEEKLY LIVE PARANORMAL SERIES
‘HAUNTED LIVE’ FEATURING THE TENNESSEE WRAITH CHASERS
PREMIERES FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 14 AT 10 P.M. ET/PT

Calling all ghost hunters! Get ready for a thrilling, suspenseful and interactive paranormal investigation series where viewers can help drive the course of the live show in real time. Travel Channel’s “Haunted Live” premieres on Friday, September 14 at 10 p.m. ET/PT, and invites ghost lovers to join a live paranormal investigation alongside the Tennessee Wraith Chasers, a team of paranormal experts that relies on a combination of scientific method and spiritual faith to navigate its investigations.

Each week, the team – comprised of Chris Smith, Steven “Doogie” McDougal, Scott Porter, Brannon Smith and Mike Goncalves – will reveal a new haunted location to the public, keeping it under wraps until the investigation begins to avoid interference or contamination.

Then, team members utilize their skills, technology and unique experiments to capture evidence of paranormal activity in a live and unfiltered paranormal investigation.

Through an on-location live video stream, viewers can monitor all of the “Haunted Live” activity on Travel Channel’s Facebook Live platform and comment on any findings in real time, directing the team where to investigate next.

Fans can follow Travel Channel’s social media pages for the location reveal each week, and visit Facebook to join a special pre-hunt Q&A with the Tennessee Wraith Chasers.

“This is going to be the ultimate paranormal experience,” said Chris Smith, founder, Tennessee Wraith Chasers. “It’s like nothing that’s ever been done before in this field and on this level. We have such a loyal and passionate fan base. With their eyes and ears added to each investigation, there’s no telling what we could uncover. Board the Wraith Train, strap in tight and enjoy the ride.”

“We try to dig deep into the paranormal, seeking out the unknown mysteries to the other side,” added Steven “Doogie” McDougal, co-founder, Tennessee Wraith Chasers. “This show takes our skills to the next level as all of Wraith Nation will be on the hunt alongside the TWC. All those extra eyes peering into the paranormal realm, I think we’ll have the upper hand and those spirits will have no place to hide.”

ABOUT THE TENNESSEE WRAITH CHASERS

The Tennessee Wraith Chasers (TWC) is a serious team of paranormal investigators that doesn’t take itself too seriously. Each investigation is packed full of Southern charm and wit, but when it comes down to business, TWC doesn’t mess around. TWC’s motto is respect, detect, collect, meaning they rely on a unique combination of scientific method and spiritual faith to navigate investigations. Growing up in a historic, and some say haunted, area of Tennessee has given the team an authentic desire to make sense of the mysterious things they’ve experienced through paranormal research. They take great pride in establishing trusted relationships with witnesses and call on the strengths of each team member to leave no stone unturned. The Wraith Chasers made their television debut as the stars of Destination America’s fan-favorite series “Ghost Asylum,” in which they investigated America’s most frightening asylums, sanitariums, penitentiaries and haunted hotspots.

Courtney Mroch

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.
