Los Angeles Times

"A show like Ghost Hunters felt oddly topical, or at least its themes seemed familiar," says Lorraine Ali. "Regular folks were being traumatized by an invisible, deathly threat; a phantom that seeps under doors and through vents undetected. Paranormal investigators, mediums, intuitives and even an ex-cop ventured into 'haunted' houses, historic hotels and abandoned psychiatric wards looking for answers to unexplained phenomena."
