What you see is what you get with Dalen Spratt, Juwan Mass and Marcus Harvey, the Southeast's newest and most dynamic paranormal investigation team. These three best friends lead Destination America's new series GHOST BROTHERS, on a mission to uncover whether some unique, legendary "haunted" houses are the real deal. Raised in religious households, Dalen, Juwan and Marcus were taught that "messing" with the dead is dangerous business, but some unexplained experiences of their own piqued their intense fascination, ultimately driving them to find out firsthand just how spooky the supernatural can be. Blending natural CURIOSITY with comedic flair, these charismatic characters offer a fresh, funny and unique take on the spirit world. From Pilgrim Media Group, producers of the long-running mega-hit "Ghost Hunters," the six-part series GHOST BROTHERS is set to premiere on Friday, April 15 at 10/9c, only on Destination America.

"Destination America is the leader in paranormal programming, and we are excited to bring diversity to this space with the very first African American ghost hunting team on television," said Jane Latman, general manager of Destination America. "Dalen, Juwan and Marcus' personalities shine through in GHOST BROTHERS, wearing their emotions on their sleeves in an incredibly relatable way during all of the fear, thrills and chills of investigating things that go bump in the night."

"We're excited to join the Destination America family and prove that there can be a little humor in the unknown," said Dalen Spratt. "But the best part about GHOST BROTHERS is that THIS time, the black guys make it out of THE HAUNTED house alive!"

As budding enthusiasts of paranormal investigation, the GHOST BROTHERS take a passionate hobby to the next level in some of the country's most haunted locations. By day, Dalen and Juwan are fashion designers with their own label called Loren Spratt, though, in their off time, they have been investigating haunted houses, hotels and cemeteries together since 2011. Marcus, a comedian and "Barber to the Stars," met Dalen in 2009 and now, as an "experienced" ghost hunter, he considers himself the Peter Venkman of the trio.

Haunted hot spots explored in GHOST BROTHERS include the Magnolia Hotel in Seguin, Texas; Prospect Place in Trinway, Ohio; Allen House in Monticello, Ark.; Magnolia Plantation in Derry, La.; Delta Queen Steamboat in Houma, La.; and the Fitzpatrick Hotel in Washington, Ga..

Craig Piligian and Mike Nichols are executive producers for Pilgrim, with Danny Passman as executive producer for Crybaby.
