YouTube - Ghost Stalkers



After Nick Groff left Ghost Adventures, he launched Paranormal Lockdown and also served as an executive producer for another paranormal television series, Ghost Stalkers. This series only lasted for one season (end of 2914) and has six episodes, each devoted to one (supposedly) haunted location. Each episode lasts about 45 minutes.

Ghost Stalkers features two hosts, actor Chad Lindberg and author John E. L. Tenney. Both have a lot in common: not only do they believe in the paranormal, but they both also experienced an NDE (Near Death Experience). Because of this, they believe that haunted locations contain a portal (to hell), where the dead can cross over from one world to another. And it's their mission to find this portal in the locations they investigate in each of the six episodes. For this, they use a device, called a wormhole detector, built to discover gateways that connect different realities with each other.

The two men have different personalities though and this is exactly what makes this series entertaining to watch! John is calm and composed, whereas Chad is of a nervous disposition and is easily startled. This is especially clear when they each spend one night in a haunted location: John stays as calm as a cucumber, whereas Chad screams like a little girl with the smallest paranormal occurrence. The most frightening episode is without any doubt the one that takes place in Holmesburg Prison where quite surprisingly John - and not Chad - ends up with a severe panic attack.

To be honest, I don't believe in this wormhole detector or these portals to hell. Moreover, it remains a mystery throughout the six episodes of how the detector actually works! It all seems like an excuse to do some ghost hunting in spooky locations. And again, it is really entertaining and fun to see how both men react so differently when they each investigate a location during one night. In that light, this series doesn't differ that much from Ghost Adventures.

Maybe this is the reason why Ghost Stalkers lasted only one season; maybe viewers saw it as a clone of Ghost Adventures, which until now is still the most popular paranormal television series in America. I, on the other hand, was actually disappointed that Ghost Stalkers ended after only one season. I really liked the two hosts - who treat each other with a lot of respect, by the way - and they did investigate lesser-known haunted locations.

Right now it is damn hard to find complete episodes of Ghost Stalkers on YouTube. There is however always a coming and going of paranormal television series and one day, you might find the 6 episodes again on YouTube. There are lots of interesting fragments, however, usually the best bits of each episode.


As you might have seen, I have been absent for one month due to illness. During that time I discovered a lot of interesting stuff on YouTube - such as (short) horror movies, paranormal series and the like - which I will be sharing with you very soon!

We Summoned A Demon/The Toothbrush/Salvatore

If you are into short horror movies, then YouTube is a paradise! Don't know where to start or feeling overwhelmed? Then let me recommend these three channels: Omeleto Alter Screamfast (by far the best one) These are some of the gems that I found during my explorations of the last month. We Summoned A Demon \ By far my big favourite of the moment! Two young men try to summon a demon in order to look cool for the girls. But when something goes wrong during the ritual, the two men get a lot more than they had bargained for... This is not a typical horror movie; the movie relies less on jump scares, but more on a creepy atmosphere and a healthy dose of humour. It's all in the details: the small record player that is part of the ritual, the way they try to exert their power over the demon by guessing its name and so on. Chris McInroy is the award-winning director of this gem. I am still exploring his channel and when I find anything else interestin...

Trailer: The King

Ever since the trailer of The King was released on the Internet, people have been talking about 2 things; the long blonde hair of Robert Pattinson and the incredibly talented Timothée Chalamet. I have to admit that even when I saw the trailer for the first time online I had to gasp. To be honest, I have never been a fan of the Twilight series or Robert Pattinson. But some years ago I saw Bel Ami and he really impressed me in that gem. And apparently, he is receiving praise for his role as the Dauphin in The King. But most of the praise goes to Timothée Chalamet, who sports an ugly haircut in The King and speaks with a convincing British accent. He is only 23 years old, but what a talented young man! If you love movies, you must have seen Call Me By Your Name (for which he received an Oscar nomination) and Beautiful Boy (for which the Academy ignored him). This is a great actor in the making. The King will know a limited release and will stream on Netflix from November. Th...

2 Headed Shark Attack (2012)/3 Headed Shark Attack (2015)

About 2 weeks ago, I had never heard about these 2 movies. But when I did research about Shark Night , one of the movies that Google recommended was 3 Headed Shark Attack. Since I had never heard about this movie, I did some research. According to Wikipedia, this is the sequel - as you might have guessed - of 2 Headed Shar Attack. And there are by the way more movies in this series: 5 Headed Shark Attack and 6 Headed Shark Attack. In case you wonder what happened to the one with 4 heads, there is already a movie called Four - Headed Shark - apparently, this one doesn't attack! Anyway, probably to avoid confusion, there is no movie called 4 Headed Shark Attack... The production company behind all these movies is called The Asylum. Maybe the name rings a bell, especially if you are into B - movies or have spent some time on Netflix lately. They are actually the ones responsible for the Sharknado movies, which by now have reached cult status amongst horror fans. The Asylum produ...
