DVD MOVIE
The American series follows the brothers Dean and
Sam Winchester, played by Jensen Ackles and Jared
Padalecki, who travel across the country in a black
1967 Chevy Impala investigating and combating paranormal
events and other unexplained occurrences, many of
them based on folklore, myths, and American urban
legends as well as classic supernatural creatures
such as vampires, werewolves, and ghosts. Eric Kripke,
the series' creator, cites Neil Gaiman's The Sandman
and American Gods as influences on Supernatural, along
with American Werewolf in London and Joseph Campbell's
The Hero's Journey.
Main characters Jared Padalecki
as Sam Winchester Jensen Ackles as Dean Winchester
Twenty-two years ago Sam (series star JARED
PADALECKI) and Dean (series star JENSEN ACKLES)
Winchester lost their mother to a mysterious
and demonic supernatural force. As a result
their father John (recurring guest star JEFFREY
DEAN MORGAN - "Grey's Anatomy") raised
the brothers to be soldiers. He taught them
about the paranormal evil that lives in the
dark corners and on the back roads of America...and
he taught them how to kill it. Sam however wanted
nothing to do with this violent and dangerous
life and he left it behind until the day Dean
appeared on his doorstep with troubling news.
Their father had gone missing on a "hunting
trip." Sam and Dean have spent the last
year cruising the highways of the United States
in their 1967 Chevy Impala searching for their
lost father and encountering creatures that
most people believe exist only in folklore superstition
and nightmares. Along the way they have battled
the various supernatural threats--and each other
as well for their sibling rivalries and conflicts
were never far from the surface. Finally they
found their father just as he was closing in
on the Demon who claimed their mother
The plot of the series has evolved over time, beginning
initially with the Winchester brothers, Sam and Dean,
looking for their father throughout most of season
one. Once they find him, the show becomes about killing
Azazel, the yellow-eyed demon responsible for the
death of their mother. This is accomplished, but not
until after Azazel's plans are completed and a door
to Hell is opened, although only momentarily, releasing
a horde of demons into the world. This event also
sees the death of Sam, who is subsequently resurrected
by Dean selling his soul at the end of season two.
In the third season, the plot of the show focuses
on trying to save Dean from his deal. Along the way,
they meet a demon named Ruby, who has an interest
in Sam and claims to be able to help save Dean, as
well as Bela Talbot, an "acquirer" and seller
of occult objects who is constantly a thorn in their
side. The brothers eventually manage to track down
the demon who holds Dean's contract, a powerhouse
named Lilith who also wants Sam dead. However, Sam
and Ruby ultimately fail to save Dean, who is killed
and sent to Hell. Season four begins with Dean, miraculously
returning from Hell, awakening dazed and confused
in a grave. He was apparently rescued by a supposed
angel named Castiel on orders from God. Sam on the
other hand, has further developed his abilities with
the help of Ruby during the months that Dean has been
dead. It is soon revealed that Dean was revived to
help stop Lilith's plan of breaking the 66 seals,
which would let Lucifer walk free once again.
The yellow-eyed demon is vanquished,
but at a terrible price. The battle that brought
him down released hundreds of demons from Hell
into an unsuspecting world. And it cost Sam
his life. But a grief-stricken Dean made a deal
with the Crossroad Demon – his soul for
Sam's resurrection. Now Dean has just one year
to live. One year to fight the unholy, the twisted,
the ghoulish. One year to say farewell to Sam.
And one year for Sam to search desperately for
some way to save his brother. Mind-bending adventure
awaits as the Winchester brothers continue their
astonishing odyssey into the supernatural...and
their personal odyssey into destiny.

A HAUNTING
A Haunting is an American television series
that airs on the Discovery Channel and Discovery
Science channel. The series' episodes are
comprised of narrations and dramatic reenactments
based on various accounts of paranormal encounters
and experiences. A Haunting originally aired
in 2005 and has since produced four seasons
totalling 39 episodes.
Timeless Media Group, in cooperation
with New Dominion Pictures, is proud to present
this 9 DVD set of the first four seasons of
A Haunting, 39 episodes in all. As seen on
the Discovery Channel, each of these one-hour
episodes explore the most mysterious and baffling
true cases of haunting's, visitations and
ghostly, ghastly doings ever assembled. These
stories of demon possession, the unquiet ghosts
of the dead, and many more tales of the supernatural
will take you to the edge of reason and beyond.
Each episode is complete with interviews of
the victims of these eerie and unexplainable
paranormal events. Teams of parapsychologists
try to discover the roots of these strange
happenings and to put the demons to rest,
with exorcisms, cleansing rites and strange
incantations, sometimes having unexpected
results! As you explore the darker regions
of the unseen and unsettling world of spirits,
poltergeists and phantoms, you may find yourself
becoming convinced that things are not what
they seem, and indeed, are much more sinister
and scary than you ever thought possible.
Fans of the show enjoy the cinematic
effects and the actual terrifying true stories
of the paranormal told by those who experienced
real-life horror tales. The reenactments at
times leave al little to the imaginations
but in whole the show offers what is considered
paranormal truths.
A Haunting is an American television
series that airs on the Discovery Channel
and Discovery Science channel. The series'
episodes are comprised of narrations and dramatic
reenactments based on various accounts of
paranormal encounters and experiences. A Haunting
originally aired in 2005 and has since produced
four seasons totaling 39 episodes.
A Haunting began as two feature-length
specials, "A Haunting in Connecticut"
and "A Haunting in Georgia", that
were developed by Allison Erkelens, who also
served as head writer. The specials were executive
produced by Tom Naughton and Nicolas Valcour
for New Dominion Pictures. Based on strong
ratings, A Haunting became a one-hour series
on The Discovery Channel produced by Larry
Silverman.
Most episodes present several accounts of
paranormal experiences through cinematic reenactments
which are accompanied by commentary from eyewitnesses
and investigators themselves. According to
Silverman, the show's writers search for stories
and then filter out accounts with enough substantial
content. He has further added that the episodes
are strictly based on the accounts of victims,
although the Discovery Channel did compel
the show's producers to sanitize certain case
histories due to their graphic sexual content.
A Haunting has covered several incidents,
including traditional haunting's, demonic
attacks, possessions, and cryptic visions.
The series covers incidents from various locations
across the United States, as well as three
episodes that were set in England, Ireland
and Taiwan. Episodes are usually set in houses
or apartments, and also farms, commercial
areas, and even vast outdoor regions.
Episodes within the series follow a frequently
recurring pattern, in which victims of hauntings
begin noticing peculiar incidents that gradually
become more frequent and bizarre. Denial is
most often the first reaction. As the situation
escalates, however, and every possible conventional
explanation is explored and found wanting,
they either contact a paranormal investigator,
a member of the clergy, or a spiritual medium
for assistance. In some cases, victims are
able to successfully resolve their paranormal
issues, while in others, victims are forced
to vacate their residence. Certain episodes
have also featured commentary from famed demonologists
Ed and Lorraine Warren, who have actually
investigated some of A Haunting's cases. The
episode, "The Dark Side", was dedicated
to the memory of Ed, who passed away in 2006.
From Florida to Edinburgh, the "Ghost
Adventures" team travels the world seeking
the ultimate spiritual experience. Paranormal
investigator Zak Bagans and his crew, Nick Groff
and Aaron Goodwin, search for haunted locations
both domestically and internationally.
During their investigations, Zak and crew acquaint
themselves with the general area; interview
locals about the hauntings; and go face-to-face
with the evil spirits who reportedly haunt these
locations.
Zak Bagans
Host and Lead Investigator Bagans, along with
his paranormal investigation team, travels to
both domestic and international locations rumored
to be haunted in search of evidence proving
the existence of the supernatural.
After graduating from film school in Michigan,
Zak moved to Las Vegas to pursue a career in
documentary filmmaking. There he met "Ghost
Adventures" co-host Nick Groff and cameraman
Aaron Goodwin. Their first paranormal investigations
as a team took place all over Nevada, and the
footage they captured led to an award-winning,
nationally-televised "Ghost Adventures"
documentary.
Nick Groff
Investigator With his detecting equipment and
an expertise gained through experience, Groff
will be locked in some of the most sinister
locations from dusk to dawn to investigate and
capture evidence of the paranormal.
Bagans and Groff co-founded the paranormal
organization Ghost Adventures Crew (GAC). Its
members support one another's quest to investigate
possible paranormal activity first hand. Their
biggest event to date was held at the Goldfield
Hotel in Nevada.
Aaron Goodwin
Cameraman and Equipment Technician Goodwin travels
to both domestic and international locations
alongside his paranormal investigation team
in order to prove the existence of the supernatural.
An Oregon native, Aaron moved to Las Vegas where
he fell in love with film and taught himself
how to edit and operate a camera. Aaron gained
experience by working as a cameraman on numerous
TV shows over the past nine years. He has worked
on projects ranging from red carpet movie premieres
to sporting events. Filming is a passion for
Aaron, and he's always armed with a camera.
Many love this show for the exacting realness
and honest emotions and intensity of Bagans
and the crew. Many hope this show has a very
successful long run. And Aaron Goodwin is the
stand out Team member everyone just loves!

rigour to try to find plausible explanations

MOST HAUNTED
Most Haunted is a British paranormal
television programme based on investigating
purported paranormal activity, although a 2005
OFCOM ruling stated that Most Haunted was "not
a legitimate investigation into the paranormal,
and should not be taken seriously". It
is shown on the satellite and cable channels
Living, Living2 and Virgin 1 (Formerly Ftn),
primarily for the UK market. It is also shown
in the United States on the Travel Channel,
on the W Channel in Australia and Canada, TV4
Plus in Sweden, Sub (TV channel) in Finland
and Stöð 2 in Iceland. It is produced
by Antix Productions, led by Yvette Fielding
and her husband Karl Beattie.
Could you lock yourself in a haunted
location for 24 hours? Well that's just what
the Most Haunted team does. The crew investigates
some of the scariest places in Europe, attempting
different methods and experiments to try and
communicate with the dead, and prove the existence
of life after death. Ancient Ram Inn - Witchcraft,
human sacrifice, and an incubus await the Most
Haunted team at the Ancient Ram Inn. Feeling
far from welcome in these new surroundings,
their apprehension will ultimately turn in to
terror - with violent repercussions.
Ghost Hunters is a
reality television series featuring Jason Hawes and
Grant Wilson, who work a day job as Roto-Rooter plumbers
and investigate places that are reported to be haunted.
The show debuted in October 2004 on the American
Sci-Fi Channel. It should not be confused with the
original 1996 Inca Productions show Ghosthunters produced
for the Discovery Channel. The format was sold to
the US to become Ghost Hunters. The only remaining
link between the two shows is presenter Ian Cashmore
who anchored the UK/Europe show. Cashmore piloted
the U.S. show, but chose not to remain part of the
US venture after he filmed the promos
Jason Hawes and Grant Wilson, along with other team
members who belong to the group they founded, The
Atlantic Paranormal Society (TAPS), investigate locations
of interest by using electronic equipment which they
believe is capable of detecting paranormal activity.
TAPS' equipment includes digital thermometers, EMF
(electromagnetic field) scanners, infrared and night
vision cameras, handheld digital video cameras, digital
audio recorders, and laptop computers.
Other gear not typically shown on screen are an Ion
Generator — a device that charges the air with
electricity and theorized to help spirits manifest,
and the White Noise Generator — an audio device
that makes a static background noise and theorized
to act as a catalyst for assisting entities in making
EVPs
Jason, Grant and the 'Ghost Hunters'
team revisit the notoriously haunted Stanley Hotel
in Estes Park, Colorado for a live Halloween-night
investigation! Stephen King took up residence at the
Stanley while writing his best-selling novel The Shining
and the spooky goings on at the hotel reportedly served
as the inspiration for his best-selling tome. Viewers
will be sent on the ultimate Halloween adventure,
joining the 'Ghost Hunters' in as they investigate
the infamously haunted hotel. Also joining the investigation
is a special guest from 'ECW' (Extreme Championship
Wrestling); ghost hunting novice CM Punk!

Ghost Hunters is a reality television series featuring
Jason Hawes and Grant Wilson, who work a day job as
Roto-Rooter plumbers and investigate places that are
reported to be haunted.
The show debuted in October 2004 on the American
Sci-Fi Channel. It should not be confused with the
original 1996 Inca Productions show Ghosthunters produced
for the Discovery Channel. The format was sold to
the US to become Ghost Hunters. The only remaining
link between the two shows is presenter Ian Cashmore
who anchored the UK/Europe show. Cashmore piloted
the U.S. show, but chose not to remain part of the
US venture after he filmed the promos.
The 'Ghost Hunters' originally investigated the Stanley
in February 2006 and were met with a flurry of unexplainable
occurrences including a hotel room that was a veritable
hotbed of paranormal activity. Continually intrigued
by the locale, our 'Ghost Hunters' will return to
the Stanley for the show's first-ever live investigation,
spending more time exploring some of the hotel's most
notorious hot spots and enlisting viewers to help
expand their search for spirits.
Ghost Hunters has garnered some of the highest ratings
of any Sci-Fi Channel network programming. From the
start, the show has found an audience for its mix
of paranormal investigation and interpersonal drama.
It has since been syndicated on NBC Universal sister
network Oxygen.
In the early shows, TAPS was headquartered in a trailer
located behind Jason Hawes' house, and they drove
one white van to investigations. Within one season,
they had moved the entire operation to a storefront
in downtown Warwick, RI, and acquired several new
TAPS vehicles equipped with surveillance instrumentation.
In addition to their successful television venture,
TAPS operates a website where they share their stories,
photographs, and ghost hunting videos with an ever-growing
membership list. Because of the popularity of the
show, TAPS cast members have signed contracts with
at least two talent agencies, Escape Artistry and
GP Entertainment, to manage their appearances at lectures,
conferences and public events.
In addition to the success of the television show,
TAPS have ventured into the venue of radio broadcast
hosting a 3 hour weekly show called "Beyond Reality".
New episodes are broadcast every Saturday from 7 -
10pm EST, though sometimes may skip a week with possibilities
of the hosts being busy with other ventures. The radio
show goes into topics in a vast array of areas such
as cryptozoology, spiritualism, UFO's, and ghosts.
The show is hosted by Grant Wilson & Jason Hawes
and includes guest appearances from other TAPS members
and special guests like John Zaffis, Rosemary Ellen
Guiley, Chris Fleming and others which specialize
in certain fields.
Ghost Hunters has attracted various critics and skeptics,
such as Joe Nickell who has criticised their methodology
in the Skeptical Inquirer. Many other authors, such
as Joe Nickell and Lynne Kelly question the scientific
validity of the investigations conducted by the TAPS
team, its methodology, and particularly its use of
instrumentation, as there is no scientifically-proven
link between the existence of ghosts and (for example)
cold spots or electromagnetic fields (which Hawes
and Wilson say are not necessarily paranormal). As
Grant and Jason say "If you set out to prove
a haunting, anything will seem like evidence. If you
set out to disprove it, you will end up with only
those things you cant explain away.". Others,
such as Allison Smith contend that the show's claimed
evidence of the paranormal could be easily hoaxed.
With each new season, critics of Ghost Hunters continue
to publish skeptical analysis and theories on the
Internet, often employing frame-by-frame analysis
of episode footage which they believe debunks the
show's findings.
Ghost Hunters International the spin off series
which premiered Wednesday, January 9, 2008 and features
investigators Robb Demarest, Shannon Sylvia, Barry
Fitzgerald (who appeared in the Summer 2007 Ireland
episodes of Ghost Hunters), Andy Andrews, Brian Harnois,
and Donna La Croix. The format is similar to Ghost
Hunters but features investigations in various locations
around the world. In mid season one, Donna, Brian
and Shannon have departed the show and have been replaced
by Dustin Pari and newcomer Brandy Green.

PSYCHIC KIDS
PSYCHIC KIDS: CHILDREN OF THE
PARANORMAL is the intense journey into the lives
of children who live with gifts they frequently
see as burdens. With the help of caring experts,
they begin to understand and manage their powers,
realizing their potential both as psychics and
human beings.
Psychic Kids is a paranormal television series
broadcasts on the A&E television network,
by Chip Coffey, and debuted in summer 2008.
The first episode is titled "Fear Management."
Later episodes feature content in correlation
with another A&E paranormal series, Paranormal
State with Ryan Buell. Some years before the
series' development, A&E aired an episode
of Biographies called "Psychic Kids"
about children and young people with the same
abilities described in the show (e.g. crystal
children).
Many Blog Critics feel that Chip
Coffey's magnificent talents are being wasted
on this show and they would love to see him
join the Most haunted team. This is where many
feel he would do his best and make the show
a bigger success then it currently is.

PARANOMAL STATE
Paranormal State is a docu-drama reality
television series for A&E about a student-led
college club, the Penn State Paranormal Research
Society. The show depicts the students' investigations
of paranormal activity and supernatural phenomena.
http://www.aetv.com/paranormal-state/
Paranormal State is the very first
series that explores paranormal investigations
through the eyes and minds of college students.
This series follows the dramatic life of Penn
State University college student Ryan Buell
and the other student members of one of the
first university sanctioned Paranormal Research
Society (PRS) as they seek to find the truth
behind terrifying real life mysteries. Although
the members of PRS are your basic college kids
- dealing with the problems of school, dating,
and finding their way in the world - they are
definitely looking into other worlds as well,
working on cases that include poltergeists,
haunting and the darkest areas of the unknown.
Each week they are contacted for help by outside
parties ranging from The Catholic Church to
ordinary families who are terrified by something
supernatural happening in their lives.
Paranormal State show depicts
the students' investigations of paranormal activity
and supernatural phenomena. Though many die
hard's disagree with their tactics, explanation
and advice the show is very popular. Each episode
of the show is outlined by the production team
first, co-executive producer Tina Gazzerro has
said, to ensure that a producible episode will
result. "We try to identify where we get
our discovery moments, our 'Ah-ha!' moments,"
Gazzerro told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. Information
about the event under investigation may also
be held back from the students in order to create
dramatic tension, and only situations which
will have a conclusive outcome are investigated.
"We may have information we don't give
to [the PRS team]," Gazzerro said, "but
we need to make sure [the episode is] producible."
Story arcs are also outlined for each "character"
on the show, and the production team has publicly
expressed its hope that a romantic relationship
will develop between Buell and one of the women
on the series. The production team and the show's
researchers say that no pressure is put on the
research team to act in certain ways or make
paranormal discoveries.
A&E had high hopes for the new series.
Cable television reality shows about the paranormal
require only about a quarter of the budget for
a scripted show of the same length. They also
draw much-coveted younger viewers, and skew
slightly more female than male (a difficult
demographic to draw for most cable networks
not explicitly targeting women).
The show debuted on December 10, 2007, with
2.5 million viewers watching the first two back-to-back
episodes, making it the third-most watched show
on A&E since 2004. The cable network reported
that this included 1.6 million people aged 18
to 49 (a highly coveted demographic by broadcasters
and advertisers). It also included 1.5 million
viewers in the 25-to-54 age range, A&E's
target demographic.
The show's second season began on July 28,
2008 on A&E.
Its visual, musical, and editorial style, was
inspired by MTV's Fear
Some reviewers have strongly criticized the
high production values which others praise.[16]
As one otherwise positive review noted, "The
biggest drawback to the series is that it's
over-produced, with too many eerie sounds and
visual effects. Is the heavy breathing something
picked up by PRS microphones, or is it a sound
effect added after the fact by the show's producers?"
Critics have also pointed out that the show
lacks visual punch. People interviewed in the
show declare that they "feel" a spirit
next to them, but nothing is shown to the TV
viewer. In the series debut, the audience is
told that a young boy sees ghosts, but the audience
is not able to see any evidence of this. "The
most compelling footage seems to come more from
the editing room than beyond the grave,"
noted one industry trade publication. Reviewers
say the show also fails to effectively integrate
and utilize the team's (apparently) sophisticated
audio and video equipment to heighten tension
or help support their claims of paranormal activity.
As of January 3rd 2008, Ryan Buell claims the
demonic entity is no longer following him. In
a Q&A section of the Penn State Paranormal
Research Society's forums, he responded to a
question on the topic by stating, "I haven't
been troubled by any bunnies (the PRS calls
demons "bunnies") as of late. There
came a point in my life where I let go of some
of that baggage. When it comes to that whole
side, there's a back story that involves my
group dealing with a case three years ago. I
kind of reached a resolution with that. Coincidentally,
the bunny tried to make another cameo appearance
when we were filming the final investigation
of the season, but we just told it to go to
you-know-where. I hope it makes the cut!"
Paranormal State has been the subject of several
controversies. Such as the Christian influence
of the show, or whether the show is depicting
real or faked paranormal activity, and whether
the show is documentary or scripted entertainment.
In the episode entitled "School House
Haunting," which first aired on January
28, 2008 the "client" whose home the
team investigated Shannon Sylvia, a cast member
of another paranormal show, Ghost Hunters International.
On January 29, 2008, Ryan Buell posted an entry
to his blog[ on the Official Penn State Paranormal
Research Society Web site concerning his view
of psychics and, in particular, the inclusion
of psychic Chip Coffey on the show. In the comment
section of the blog, several people questioned
Shannon Sylvia's inclusion in the series, asking
why a high-profile paranormal investigator would
hire the Penn State Paranormal Research Society
to investigate her property when she essentially
has a team of her own. In his blog, Ryan mentions
that it was his visit which brought Shannon
Sylvia into the study of the supernatural as
an investigator, herself.

GHOST HUNTERS INTERANTIONAL
Ghost Hunters International,
(aka GHI), is a spin-off series of Ghost Hunters
that airs on the Sci Fi Channel.
Current Team
Robb Demarest - Lead Investigator
Andy Andrews - Lead Investigator
Barry Fitzgerald - Investigator/Tech Manager
Dustin Pari - Investigator
Brandy Green - Case Manager
Many fans of the show love Brian
Harnois and would love to see him return to
either GH or GhI. Of course he is sadly missed.
Blog Critics feel that s far as
Donna Lacroix and Shannon Syliva many wish they
would actually leave the ghost hunting to people
like Jason, Grant Brian, Steve and Robb Demarest.
Many Blog Critics of the show felt they were
there just for the female factor.
The series debuted on January 9, 2008. The
show follows a new team of paranormal investigators
as they travel internationally, applying their
principles of scientific debunking to some of
the world's most legendary haunted spots.
LISA LEE HARP WAUGH Is a American necromancer
in the 21st century. She is by what may call a real
conduit to the world of the dead. She dressers in
ceremonial robes, draws magical circles on the floor
and commands spirits from Heaven, Hell and all places
in between to appear before her and communicate with
the living. As a teenager she studied heavily The
Black Arts by Richard Cavendish and The Grand Grimoire,
the Malleus Maleficarum and anything she could get
her hands on by the great by Eliphas Levi, John Dee
and the great beast, Aleister Crowley.
A professional Necromancer and founder
of the Sorcerers Guild of greater Houston, Texas.
Waugh has been practicing and conducting rituals for
many paranormal investigators for over 20 years. Waugh
also paints many spiritual and common murals and lives
in a small Texas town with her three dogs. She also
over the years makes ceremonial candles and is active
in ghost hunting in the deep South. Summoning the
dead to communicate with the living is a natural daily
occurrence for Waugh. "I have been doing this
since I was a child." " When I lived in
Galveston, Texas about 15 years ago, I was introduced
to the ancient rights of ceremonial Necromancy as
a ritual by a great shaman called Freebird, and because
of him and his diligence to the art, I still practice
it until this day." "However, if a spirit
has something vital to impart to you, they will call
upon you, not vice-versa and no ritual is needed".
Waugh labels her self as paranormal investigator,
occult researcher, and contemporary Necromancer.
Necromantic practitioners such as Waugh
conducts, and entails respect and reverence not only
for the spirits of the dead, but for the spirits of
Hell, Heaven and all places in between. Waugh has
a large home one room she has painted black where
she calls the good spirits. Another painted all black
where she calls the infernal spirits.
Waugh is often compared today in her facial features
and many similar practices as being a modern Dr. John
Dee. He of course was one of the most fascinating
characters of the Elizabethan period just as Waugh
is recognized as such in modern times. The events
of Dee's life are filled with science, experiments,
astrology and mathematics which he aligned with magic,
the supernatural and alchemy! All of which is Waugh's
personal passion and driven honest beliefs. These
are also stead fast traditions she does and true in
practicing openly. A few of her select followers say
she is the actual reincarnation of John Dee. Waugh
also practices astrology, and is very continuously
studying the Black Arts.
