Phantoms, demons, and shadow creatures beware! Destination America's hit series GHOST ASYLUM is back following the passionate paranormal team, the Tennessee Wraith Chasers (TWC), as they hunt down ghosts in the most frightening asylums, sanitariums, penitentiaries and haunted hotspots across the U.S. Stepping into abandoned locations that only the bravest dare to enter, the team's goal is not just to conjure paranormal activity but to physically capture RESTLESS SOULS with their custom-created ghost traps. TWC is made up of experts in the world of ghost hunting, from engineers to historians, all approaching each investigation with the utmost knowledge and preparation. These ghost whisperers have little fear, entering even more bone-chilling locations this season, including the Bell Witch Cave near their hometown of Nashville, and the Pennhurst Asylum outside of Philadelphia. GHOST ASYLUM premieres Sunday, April 5 at 10/9c on Destination America with eight new episodes. The second half of the 16-episode season will premiere later in 2015.
"The sites that GHOST ASYLUM travel to are some of the scariest this country has to offer; the types of places that are inspirations for American horror movies, locations that are not for the faint of heart" said Marc Etkind, general manager of Destination America. "As Americans desire for exploration continues to grow, the new season of GHOST ASYLUM features terrifying national spots that require a fearless team and no one is braver than TWC". To ensure no apparition goes unseen and no disembodied voice unheard, the TWC gang employs high-tech gadgets and investigative gear to help summon, track, and ultimately catch the spirits that haunt each location. For each investigation, the GHOST ASYLUM team construct the most intricate traps specifically detailed for every location including homemade contraptions called the Wraith Dome and the Prism Catcher. The second season of GHOST ASYLUM adds to the thrill with some of the largest most elaborate traps TWC has ever created.Videos
