‘Hotel Paranormal’ Preview
The latest series to explore reportedly haunted places is Hotel Paranormal, which boasts an actual Ghostbuster as its narrator in the form of Dan Aykroyd. The series boasts the tagline “you can check out any time you like, but you can never leave” from the Eagles’ classic song “Hotel California” and the press release promises dozens of “true, terrifying tales of paranormal hotel guests.”
Each episode features “spine-tingling stories of paranormal encounters told from stays at grand hotels, highway motels and inns around the world. From objects flying across rooms to ancient spirits trapped in lobbies to demonic guests, “Hotel Paranormal,” in 10 one-hour episodes, brings to life terrifying encounters with dramatic re-creations and paranormal expert insights.”
“As a longtime believer in ghosts, I think the incredible encounters we’re highlighting on Hotel Paranormal will open up a lot of minds and hopefully break through some of the skepticism people carry about the paranormal,” said Aykroyd in a statement. “I’m excited to lend my voice to help bring viewers across the United States, these gripping real-life ghost stories, many of which take place in their own backyards.”
In the premiere episode, a traveling salesman checks into a motel where he documents poltergeist activity with his cell phone. Fleeing into the night, he becomes possessed by the spirit of a murderer and in need of an exorcism. While on a school trip to the Vatican, a teenager and his friends accidentally set free an ancient evil and suffer the consequences. Then, a journalist is hunting down a story in Connecticut when she checks into a historic New England inn and fights off a supernatural attack. These guests have all become prey to a paranormal predator.
