Destination America Reveals ‘Haunting’ Lineup for October

(Silver Spring, MD)—Sometimes real evil lurks in the darkest shadows and in the most ordinary places; this is where nightmares become reality. Returning with a fifth season of things that do more than just go bump in the night, A HAUNTING comes to Destination America this October to showcase some of the scariest stories of supernatural activity known to man. Through spellbinding first-person accounts, each episode profiles the story of one family traumatized by forces unknown. As the mystery and origin of each case is unraveled, audiences are left with a lingering sense that life after death is much more powerful – and sometimes more possessive – than anyone could have possibly imagined. From children to pets, the atheists to the faithful, these are the true stories of unrelenting terror that knows no bounds. While previous seasons of A HAUNTING aired on the Discovery Channel, viewer demand led to the show’s resurrection on Destination America beginning Friday, October 12 at 10 PM (E/P), just in time for Halloween.

“From the Salem witch trials to the Amityville horror story, Americans have always been transfixed by the supernatural and phantom phenomena,” said Marc Etkind, SVP of Content Strategy for Destination America. “A HAUNTING possesses a whole new collection of campfire stories to send a cold shiver tingle down viewers’ spines and teach them straight from the source how shock and sheer terror can take their toll on a person.”

Each episode of A HAUNTING reveals a world in which tragic deaths and unfinished business have left paranormal impressions so intense that some people are traumatized for the rest of their lives. While the premiere episode features a woman who becomes possessed and is forced to engage in spiritual warfare, additional episodes showcase real-life tales of haunted houses and, sometimes, even haunted people. Exorcisms, possessions, and hauntings are featured throughout the series with paranormal investigators, priests, shamans, and psychic mediums providing commentary.

The chilling October lineup for A HAUNTING is as follows:

Blood Visions

After a priest, a psychic, and a paranormal investigator fail to rid her and her home of the evil presence, it’s up to Kathie alone to exorcise the demon.
