Roll camera... and maybe call a priest!

On this episode of Ghost Bites, Mike pulls back the curtain on Hollywood’s spookiest secrets, detailing the baffling accidents, strange deaths, and reported paranormal activity on the sets of films like The Exorcist, Poltergeist, and the ill-fated production of The Omen.

Mike provides the unsettling facts, while JT questions the sanity of directors who keep filming amid literal demonic occurrences, debates whether ghosts are members of IATSE, and offers his unsolicited advice on how to properly light a possessed teenager.

It's a terrifying look at what happens when the special effects aren't the only things that are supernatural.
