Paranormal Revenge is an original series from Sphere Media, Canada's third-largest independent producer.[1] The series, which marries the intrigue of true crime with paranormal undertones, premiered on the CTV Sci-Fi Channel on October 6, 2023.[2]
Synopsis
[edit]Each episode delves into two chilling narratives of genuine paranormal experiences intersecting with the formidable force of revenge. Robin Bicknell, who has previously worked on projects like “Haunted Hospitals” and “Paranormal 911”, describes the show as a unique meld of documentary-style investigation with ghostly mysteries, envisioning ghosts as killers and experts as detectives.[3]
The investigative team comprises Erin Goodpipe, a Dakhóta-Anishinaabe spirit investigator; Richard Estep, a British author living in Colorado; and Tawney Lewis, who provides insights into inexplicable events affecting African-American families.[3]
