Back in October I shared information about the premiere of “The Witching Hour,” after the show’s producer, Ryan Martinez, reached out to tell me about it. Ryan recently shared an exciting update with me about his show: “The Witching Hour” was named the Best Non-Fiction Series of 2019 at the 10th Annual Indie Series Awards on Wednesday, April 3rd!
Wow! Way to go Ryan and the rest of the Argos Paranormal Team!
Here’s the press release with all the details:
Fairfax, Virginia — 04/04/2019 – Argos Paranormal is proud to announce that its show “The Witching Hour” has been named the Best Non-Fiction Series in the 10th Annual Indie Series Awards. The Indie Series Awards held its 10th annual ceremony at The Colony Theatre in Burbank, California, where over 30 awards were announced and given to the 45 nominated shows from around the world.
The Producer of “The Witching Hour”, Ryan Martinez, stated in the show’s acceptance speech at the ceremony that “winning the Best-Non Fiction Series award is not just a success for me and everyone else involved in the production of the show, but this is also a victory for my fellow investigators in the paranormal community. This victory highlights our contributions to preserving the history of not only historical locations, but the stories of individuals who may no longer be here with us physically.”
This award also means that “The Witching Hour” is the first award-winning paranormal reality TV series in television history.
About “The Witching Hour”
The Witching Hour goes where no other paranormal show has gone before as the investigators of Argos Paranormal investigate the locations that the locals fear and no other paranormal show has ever dared to investigate. These investigators will be pushing themselves to their max limits as they investigate locations at around 3 am, also known as the witching hour when paranormal activity is believed to be at an all-time high during the night.

About The Indie Series Awards
Founded by We Love Soaps LLC’s Roger Newcomb in 2009, thecelebrate the best in independently produced entertainment created for the Web.
Indie series are to Network TV series what Independent Films are to mainstream movies; innovation and creativity thrive and fanatical followers are the norm.
The ISAs honor a genre that emphasizes artistic merit and social impact over corporate profits, however, the overall quality of the nominated shows is comparable to that of most TV sitcom or dramas—in fact, several past winners went on to partner with traditional television content providers.
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.

That’s awesome news. Congrats to everyone involved with the show!
