(from Travel Channel's press release, November 2019) When paranormal entities terrorize the living through endless and repetitive supernatural cycles, manifesting again and again in the same location, it is known as a "ghost loop." Now, a team of highly specialized paranormal experts, who focus on this distinct type of haunting, are stepping in to help both the living and the dead. In Travel Channel's new eight-episode series, "Ghost Loop," premiering on Saturday, January 4 at 10 p.m. ET/PT, the team will attempt to break cycles of trapped paranormal activity and restore peace by drawing out each spirit through re-created trigger environments. In each hour-long episode, the "Ghost Loop" team of experts - paranormal investigator and medium Sean Austin, empath Kris Star, researcher and tech advisor Chris Califf, design specialist Eric Vitale and tech support Matt Lytle - first examine and research their client's property and history and perform a preliminary paranormal investigation. Taking their facts and findings, they formulate a plan they believe will help stop the haunting. Whether it's building a 1900s-era train compartment, replicating a tavern from the 1850s, or constructing a 19th century baby's nursery, the team uses each emotionally charged setting to draw out the entities during intense follow-up investigations. Hoping to engage the spirit, the group aims to release the energy and break the loop once and for all - bringing peace to everyone involved. |

TED BUNDY: FALLING FOR A KILLER (AMAZON) · [series premiere] · 1/31/20 at 3:01 AM · [regularly airs] · fridays from 3:01 AM-4:00 AM EST |
(from Amazon's press release, December 2019) Ted Bundy: Falling for a Killer is a five-part docuseries that reframes infamous serial killer Ted Bundy's crimes from a female perspective, uncovering the disturbing and profound way in which his pathological hatred of women collided with the culture wars and feminist movement of the 1970s, culminating in what is perhaps the most infamous true crime saga of our time. The series is anchored by the story of Bundy's longtime girlfriend Elizabeth Kendall and her daughter Molly, who, after nearly 40 years of silence, are sharing their experiences with new unsettling details about Bundy, the inconceivable pull he had on women, and an abundant archive of never-before-seen family photos. They are joined by a chorus of female voices, including survivors of Bundy's attacks - some of whom are stepping forward for the first time - with chilling accounts that will forever change the Bundy narrative and provoke a discussion around gender politics that hauntingly resonates today. Women featured in the docuseries and featured in the trailer include: Elizabeth Kendall, Bundy's longtime girlfriend; Barbara Grossman, a reporter at KUTV Salt Lake City; Kathleen McChesney, a detective for the King County Sheriff's Department in Seattle; Py Bateman, founder of the Feminist Karate Union at the University of Washington; Phyllis Armstrong, a student at the University of Washington and friend of Bundy victim Georgann Hawkins; Molly Kendall, Elizabeth Kendall's daughter; Karen Sparks, a survivor who is believed to be Bundy's first victim; Polly Nelson, one of Bundy's post-conviction lawyers; and Laura Healy, sister to Bundy victim Lynda Healy. |
