Is a Hollywood icon haunting a house?

Eminent paranormal expert John Zaffis, host of Syfy's popular series Haunted Collecter, travels to Hollywood to investigate ghostly disturbances in the grand home where legendary film director Orson Welles once lived. The episode premieres on Syfy Wednesday, May 8 at 9PM (ET/PT).

As Zaffis and the team learn, odd paranormal events began when home owner Joe Liebke first screened the Welles' classic Citizen Kane --- considered by many experts the greatest movie ever Made - for friends. All was well until the television began flickering, followed by a complete loss of power throughout the house - the only home to mysteriously go dark while electricity in the rest of the neighborhood remained on.

Following this incident, there was a steady escalation in unexplained activity, including a moving shadow figure that has unlocked a dead-bolt right before his eyes, phantom footsteps and bizarre electrical outages.

Academy Award-winning musician Paul Williams, who once lived in the house, appears in the episode.

Haunted Collector is produced by Gurney Productions. Executive producers are Scott Gurney and Deirdre Gurney.
