Additional titles — “Haunted Hospitals”, “Evil Encounters”, “Scariest Night of My Life”, “Terror in the Woods” and “Paranormal 911” — were added March 3.

Some titles to catch are resident skeptic Kay Nambiar’s “Ghost Chasers” as he tours some of Europe’s more notorious haunts with his team.; “Boogeymen”, which covers the folkloric tales of bizarre cryptids from around the world, including Canadian creepers, Ogopogo and Bigfoot, and finally “National Parks: Secrets & Legends” which details occult murders and UFOs on government-owned territories.
