The Tennessee Wraith Chasers (TWC) ghost hunting team is getting their spooky on in an all-new series as they travel across the country investigating America’s most haunted towns. From infamous hotbeds like Gettysburg and Salem to small towns with turbulent pasts that fueled generations of ghost stories, HAUNTED TOWNS explores places that played key roles in the darker chapters of American history, where battle, disaster, and injustice have condemned unsettled spirits to every street corner. Follow TWC – consisting of Chris, Doogie, Porter, and Brannon – as they interview witnesses, investigate hotspots using the latest ghost-hunting technology, and follow new leads until they can pinpoint who is haunting the town and why. But the team isn’t just about collecting evidence. Their m.o. is to find truth – if any – in the legends that have shaped each town’s paranormal notoriety. The eight-episode first season of HAUNTED TOWNS premieres Tuesday, August 15 at 10/9c on Destination America.
“HAUNTED TOWNS is about so much more than ghost stories. It’s about places of deep historical significance, where stories of hauntings are passed down over generations. Is it simply folklore, or is it true? We want to find out what is really going on in these towns,” said Jane Latman, general manager of Destination America. “With extensive experience investigating both legendary asylums and – in their pre-TV days – private homes, no team is more prepared for the challenge of confirming the ghostly lore of an entire town than our beloved Tennessee Wraith Chasers.”
In the series premiere on Tuesday, August 15 at 10/9c, TWC heads to Gettysburg, Pa., where more than 51,000 soldiers lost their lives during the Civil War’s most epic battle. The town is a hot spot for paranormal activity and the perfect testing ground for an experiment using trigger objects that may have had personal meaning to the spirits and could activate paranormal activity. While attempting to contact ghosts from both sides of the Civil War conflict, the boys investigate a militaria shop filled with war memorabilia as well as a local farm that served as a temporary field hospital for wounded Confederate soldiers. During their attempt to connect with the restless souls of dead soldiers, TWC encounters evidence that something darker may be lurking in the legendary haunted town.
Other episodes this season investigate:
- Salem, Mass., one of the most legendary haunted towns in America
- Savannah, Ga., where hauntings plague the businesses surrounding the former site of the city’s gallows
- Vicksburg, Miss., the site of major civil unrest during Reconstruction
- Bisbee, Ariz., the old mining town plagued by union strife

About the Tennessee Wraith Chasers:
The Tennessee Wraith Chasers (TWC) is a serious team of paranormal investigators who don’t take themselves too seriously. Each investigation is packed full of southern charm and wit, but when it comes down to business they don’t mess around. TWC’s motto is respect, detect, collect, meaning they rely on a unique combination of the scientific method and spiritual faith to navigate investigations. Growing up in an historic, and some say haunted, area of Tennessee has given them with an authentic desire to make sense of the mysterious things they’ve experienced through paranormal research. They take great pride in establishing trusted relationships with witnesses and call on the strengths of each team member to leave no stone unturned. The Wraith Chasers made their television debut as the stars of Destination America’s fan-favorite series GHOST ASYLUM, in which they investigated America’s most frightening asylums, sanitariums, penitentiaries, and haunted hotspots.
HAUNTED TOWNS is produced for Destination America by Tremendous! Entertainment with Colleen Needles Steward, Shannon Keenan Demers, and Devon Platte as executive producers. For Destination America, Fay Yu is executive producer, Jane Latman is general manager, and Henry Schleiff is Group President of Investigation Discovery, Destination America, and American Heroes Channel.”

Every show the Ghost Hunters go to the SAME places, over and over again… (* I’m talking about every different show, they explore the same haunted places) The “leader” of this particular team is constantly flexing, or looking at his own reflection, lol !!! Bring back new episodes of Paranormal Witness, My Haunted House, A Haunting, etc…
I wish Destination America would get rid of the shows like Paranormal Witness, My Haunted House, A Haunting, and whatever other re-enactment shows they have. Lets stick with shows where you get to see locations investigated and get to see and hear the evidence. Those shows like Paranormal Witness, My Haunted House, and A Haunting are so damn boring. I might as well read a book since it puts me to sleep just like trying to watch these crappy shows.
I agree with getting rid of these shows. I love the wraith chasers.
So happy to see this group back on Destination America! They are my favorite ghost hunters to watch!
Love my TWC there just really good. I love how they pray and do really good investigation. Love you guys so much.
Will this be shown in the uk

Been waiting and waiting for them to come back. Chasey is home taking care of his family. New baby and family stuff. He will be missed. Can’t wait til this show starts. YAY!!!
I really like the Tennessee wraith Chasers but where is Chase Ray ? Why isn’t she with you guys anymore ?
Glad the boys are back. But, couldn’t you find new and interesting places to explore? Instead of the same places other shows have already been too. Noticed Chasey missing this season. But, overall the first show was amazing.
Love the show. Record it FAITHFULLY….LOVED Ghost Asylum….still watch them every week as well….But as the others are wondering….Where ia Chasey Ray?????Miss him!!!!!?
I was wondering g the same thing! But they are not giving any answers on any site I have searched! Just wish they would tell us why he isn’t on the new show. Everyone really liked him, sad to see him go!

Glad the boys are back…WHERE IS CHASEY RAY ?
