Horror documentaries and shows:

Dark Mysteries: Anjaan Kahaniyaan

This document explores various paranormal and supernatural phenomena in India, such as hauntings, possessions, reincarnations, and curses. The 6-episode series features first-hand accounts on these unexplained events in detail, and investigates them with expert opinions from psychologists and paranormal analysts to determine if they can be explained by science or if they defy logic.

Haunted Towns

This show follows the Tennessee Wraith Chasers, also known as the Wraith Chasers, as they travel across America to investigate supposedly haunted locations, particularly towns, using various paranormal equipment to search for and document supernatural activity. The series explores local legends and dark histories of these towns to understand the paranormal claims.

Ghost Adventures

Ghost investigators are led by Zak Bagans in this show to visit reputedly haunted locations to document paranormal activity, often staying from dusk till dawn in a lockdown. The show features interviews with locals about the location's history and alleged hauntings, and the team uses audio and video equipment to capture evidence, including electronic voice phenomena (EVPs), during their spooky investigations.

Ghost Asylum

Another show where the Tennessee Wraith Chasers (TWC) use various methods which they believe can capture spirits during their investigations of abandoned mental institutions, asylums and other locations claimed to be haunted. The TWC combine modern technology with their Southern know-how to communicate with and capture spirits, attempting to lure them into devices designed to physically trap them.

Jack Osbourne's Night of Terror: Bigfoot

Jack Osbourne and his friend actor Jason Mewes, venture into the remote woods of northern Idaho to investigate Bigfoot sightings and determine if the creature is real or a myth. The special features them setting up camp, deploying cameras, and using animal calls to try to attract the legendary cryptid, though some viewers found the presence of Mewes and the overall execution to be extremely annoying.
