I promised details about the new series and shows that will make it a Hell of an October on Travel Channel. I covered the seven new series that will premiere. Now it’s time to cover the miniseries and specials.

Here’s the four that will be part of the “Ghostober” lineup:

1. HAUNTED SALEM: LIVE – Four-Hour Live Ghost Investigation

Premieres Friday, October 4 at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT

Haunted Salem: Live is a four-hour LIVE ghost hunt from one of America’s most haunted cities: Salem, Massachusetts.

It will be led by a team of Travel Channel’s paranormal experts, including:

• Katrina Weidman and Jack Osbourne from Portals to Hell
• Amy Bruni, Adam Berry and Chip Coffey of Kindred Spirits
• Dalen Spratt, Juwan Mass and Marcus Harvey from Ghost Brothers: Haunted Houseguests
• Dave Schrader and Cindy Kaza from the one of the new series, The Holzer Files

The immersive, multiplatform event will investigate three of Salem’s most haunted locations tied to the infamous witch trials. Teams will simultaneously lead separate paranormal investigations around the city as they seek to expose the hauntings that have plagued this historic city for hundreds of years.

The locations will include:

• The Ipswich Gaol where prisoners condemned to die for practicing witchcraft were held.
• The Proctor House, the home of John Proctor, the first male accused and hanged for practicing witchcraft.
• Rockafellas, the site of the original meeting house where over 150 people, including farmer Giles Corey, were accused and ordered to stand trial for practicing witchcraft.

Giles Corey is believed to have cursed the entire village after he was tortured to death for his crimes. Through an on-location, live video stream, fans can monitor all of the Haunted Salem: Live activity on Travel Channel’s Facebook Live feed and comment on any findings in real time, helping direct the team where to investigate next.

Additionally, Travel Channel will be live-tweeting from the event and engaging with fans via Twitter.

2. GHOST ADVENTURES: SERIAL KILLER SPIRITS – Four-Part Miniseries

Premieres Saturday, October 5 at 9 p.m. ET/PT

In the four-part miniseries, Ghost Adventures: Serial Killer Spirits, Zak Bagans, Aaron Goodwin, Billy Tolley and Jay Wasley embark on a terrifying cross-country journey. They’ll document if evil energy lingers within the infamous locations associated with America’s notorious serial killers.

As they delve into each case, they will retrace the killer’s steps, visit known hangouts and speak with leading experts to gain insight on why these sociopaths committed their evil acts.

Every Saturday throughout October, viewers will follow the Ghost Adventures crew members as they investigate locations like

• Killer clown John Wayne Gacy’s prison cell
• HH Holmes’ murder house
• The Squirrel Cage Jail, which housed the vicious Jake Bird.
• The Anson Call House, an abandoned building that many believe has ties to Ted Bundy’s terror spree during the 1970s.

3. WITCHES OF SALEM – Four-Part Miniseries

Premieres Sunday, October 6 at 10 p.m. ET/PT

A new four-part docudrama, Witches of Salem, chronologically unravels the rapid descent of a town into madness, capturing the day-to-day hysteria that unfolds and puts an affluent New England community under siege.

From reports of possession by the devil, to mass arrests, sensational trials and public hangings, each hour-long episode is an in-depth account of the eight months of “satanic panic” that overtook an otherwise sleepy Massachusetts village.
