  • After Hours AM paranormal investigators Amy Bruni and Adam Berry, stars of KINDRED SPIRITS
    On a sensationally star-studded edition of After Hours AM/America's Most Haunted Radio — paranormal talk hour 2 with hosts Joel Sturgis and Eric Olsen — we visit with celebrated paranormal investigators Amy Bruni and Adam Berry, stars of KINDRED SPIRITS, now in its second season on TLC. We talk with Amy and Adam. Hour 1; at 9pE Joel and Eric review the week's most edifying paranormal news from the America's Most Haunted Twitter feed. Season 2 of TLC's hit series KINDRED SPIRITS — airing Fridays at 9/8c — follows renowned ghost hunters Amy Bruni and Adam Berry as they help people tormented by paranormal activity in their homes. Frightened by mysterious activity but hesitant to pick up and leave, desperate families have turned to two of America's leading paranormal investigators to capture evidence, help them overcome their fear, take back their homes, and reclaim their lives. In this week's episode, fittingly airing on Friday the 13th, Amy and Adam are contacted by a couple in Somersworth, N.H., whose three children have been targeted by invisible forces in their home. Two are visited at night by a spirit that speaks to them, and the other was strangled by invisible forces. Amy and Adam know that strangulation, midnight visits and bizarre voices are a dangerous combination. They learn that a couple of blocks away from the house was the site of what was dubbed "The Murder of the Century" in 1897, in which Joseph Kelley killed a bank cashier. Even more shocking, a gravestone is discovered in the homeowner's backyard. Kindred-Spirits-620 AMY BRUNI Amy Bruni first encountered paranormal activity as a six-year-old when her family moved to Alameda, California. Her family had no idea their home was haunted until Amy witnessed a full-body apparition of a man dressed in green. Years later, Amy discovered the ghost was the landlord's son who died in World War II. Amy's family encouraged her to not let the paranormal world spook her, but instead to embrace it. Amy's been chasing ghosts ever since. In fact, her father started taking her on paranormal investigations when she was only nine! As Amy got older, her fascination kept growing. In her twenties, Amy spent her weekends flying to haunted locations and conducting her own investigations. Her passion for the paranormal became a full-time job when she joined SyFy's Ghost Hunters in 2007. Amy founded Strange Escapes a few years ago, a paranormal travel agency that pairs people with the largest and most haunted locations in the United States. In between speaking at paranormal events and investigating ghosts, Amy stays at home in Massachusetts raising her daughter Charlotte. kindred-spirits-season-2-premiere ADAM BERRY Adam Berry grew up in the small town of Muscle Shoals, Alabama, and had more paranormal experiences in his childhood than most people do in a lifetime. But unlike Amy, the spirits Adam faced terrorized him. When he was just nine years old, Adam saw a paranormal creature haunting his home. It looked like a menacing ghost dog, and Adam couldn't escape the harrowing sound of the dog scratching against the wall. His TV mysteriously glowed even though it was turned off. In 2006, Adam had his most intense experience in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. He saw massive white figures in a field, and heard loud gunshots and people yelling. He rushed to the paranormal sights and sounds, and found no explanation for what he witnessed. This event sparked his interest in the paranormal. In just a few years, Adam quickly progressed from unknown paranormal novice to well-respected researcher. His newfound passion led him to compete on Ghost Hunters Academy, which landed him a spot on Ghost Hunters in 2010. In addition to hosting paranormal conferences, Adam runs a musical theater in Massachusetts,

  • After Hours AM: infamous mysterious three-fingered mummy bodies with paranormal legends Stephen Mera and Barry Fitzgerald.
    On a groundbreaking and sensational edition of After Hours AM/America's Most Haunted Radio — with hosts Joel Sturgis and Eric Olsen — we journey to Peru to examine the infamous mysterious three-fingered mummy bodies with paranormal legends Stephen Mera and Barry Fitzgerald. Steve and Barry join us Hour 2; In Hour 1.Joel and Eric reveal the week's hottest paranormal news.
    For many years there have been countless claims of amazing discoveries, from fairy-like small winged beings, to coastal discoveries of strange washed up creatures, to small mummified alien-looking beings. All have turned out to be hoaxes or cases of mistaken identity. However the recent discoveries of the three fingered beings in Peru has been somewhat challenging…
    Before the images of the large body, known as "Maria" exploded across the internet this summer, we first lay sight on her back in April when we received photographs of her in hope of helping with identification. After a careful examination of the photographs, we decided that we would have to become physically involved if we were to find any answers. On July 5th of this year we headed out to Peru via Manchester Airport.
    We arrived in Cusco and were immediately met by painfully thin air due to its altitude of 11,000 feet. This was something that was to develop into altitude sickness: a daily dose of lightheadedness, gasping to catch your breath, and early morning vomiting. This was going to be the most challenging investigation we had ever taken.
    We first met with Thierry Jamin of the Inkari Institute in Cusco where he revealed quite a fascinating story. We were told that the discoverers of these bodies had simply delivered them to the institute and dumped them on the counter asking them to identify these bodies. Not only did they feel an obligation to try to find out what these things were, but were driven by absolute fascination. They had heard of ancient stories of three fingered beings from the ancestors of the Inca's and had even come across numerous references and petroglyphs showing drawings of these beings, but never did they ever think they might come face-to-face with one..
    We learned that dealing with these discoverers was a tricky business. They were secretive, dangerous even, and attempting to gain monetary value for such discoveries, apparently selling such things on the black market. At this time, we had no idea we were about to be thrown head first into a world of deceit, covert meetings, and a possible discrediting campaigns.
    We were told that the bodies were discovered in a tomb in Nazca. Inside were two Sacofocuses, one of which contained around 20 small bodies, all of which around two feet in length, some missing their heads which were later found throughout the interconnecting tunnels. There was even claims of discoverers seeing live entities fleeing down tunnels on arrival. As for Maria and a smaller one that looks to represent a child that has been named ‘Wawita', they were both found partially buried in the ground that seemed to consist of diatomaceous earth.
    In the early hours of July 7th we received a phone call, presumably from the discoverers allowing us to have access to the bodies for a full examination and review of scans and X-rays. This came in the form of being collected by someone from the hotel. We were not allowed to film the driver, nor identify the vehicle and location we were going. It was highly secret due to the Peruvian government on the hunt for the bodies and those who found them. We had heard that there had been several police raids in an attempt to locate these discoveries.
    The trip took almost an hour, up and out of Cusco into the mountains. It was becoming harder and harder to breathe as we climbed, the car itself was also struggling for air as the engine spluttered several times. The roads became unnamed dirt paths. Though we managed to get a little footage, we were eventually instructed to turn all cameras off. Ten minutes later we (continued)

  • After Hours AM Scott Porter of the Tennessee Wraith Chaser
    On a classic ghost hunting episode of After Hours AM/America's Most Haunted Radio — spirited paranormal talk with hosts Joel Sturgis and Eric Olsen — we talk with Tennessee Wraith Chaser, Porter, about his new Destination America series HAUNTED TOWNS. We talk with Porter at Top of Hour 2; at Hour 1 Joel and Eric review the week's spookiest paranormal news from the America's Most Haunted Twitter feed.

    HAUNTED TOWNS
    From infamous hotbeds of paranormal activity like Gettysburg and Salem to small towns with turbulent pasts that have fueled generations of ghost stories, HAUNTED TOWNS explores places home to some of the darker chapters of American history, where war, natural disaster, and injustice have condemned unsettled spirits to lurk and roam. The Tennessee Wraith Chasers (TWC) ghost hunting team is expanding their scope in this all-new series as they travel across the country investigating America's most haunted towns.
    Follow TWC – 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 – they seek the truth behind the legends that have shaped each town's paranormal notoriety. The eight-episode first season of HAUNTED TOWNS premiered August 15 and runs Tuesdays at 10/9c on Destination America.
    Towns explored in the series include:
    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.
    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
    Fall River, Mass., home of Lizzie Borden
    McDonough, Ga., where the Camp Creek train crash of 1900 left dozens of passengers dead
    Cape May, N.J., the epicenter of the Victorian Era's Spiritualism movement
    TENNESSEE WRAITH CHASERS

    The Tennessee Wraith Chasers (TWC) are a serious team of paranormal investigators who don't take themselves too seriously. 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 a historic, 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 relationships of trust 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.

    (Scott) Porter
    Porter TWC Haunted Towns
    Porter became fascinated by the paranormal after experiencing something unexplainable during his college years. One morning, he awoke to the smell of breakfast filling his family's house. He saw who he thought was his mother in a pink robe cooking at the stove. He left the room to clean up before grabbing a plate only to return and find the kitchen empty. Porter then realized that his entire family had left earlier that morning to run errands and his mother didn't own a pink robe. He now studies other strange occurrences and looks to historical record and the Bible for answers. Porter brings an analytical mind to the team and quite often plays the devil's advocate when studying evidence.

  • After Hours AM with Jeff Mudgett star of "American Ripper"
    Join us for a terrifying, stunning episode of After Hours AM/The Criminal Code — True Crime with hosts Joel Sturgis, Eric Olen, and secret weapon, forensic psychologist Dr. Clarissa Cole — as we reveal exclusive details about HISTORY's new American Ripper with series star and H.H. Holmes descendant Jeff Mudgett. Jeff will join usTop of hour 2; at hour 1, Clarissa will unearth the week's most compelling and odd True Crime headlines.
    In HISTORY's new eight-part series American Ripper, which premiered last night and runs Tuesdays at 10pE/P, the great-great-grandson of Chicago serial killer H.H. Holmes, Jeff Mudgett, is determined to prove a mind-boggling theory: that H.H. Holmes and Britain's notorious serial killer, Jack the Ripper, were the same man. In addition, Mudgett leads an investigation that secured permission to exhume the presumed body of H.H. Holmes for DNA testing to determine whether he pulled off the ultimate con, escaping the gallows to lead a second secret life.
    Herman Mudgett, alias H.H. Holmes, was one of America's first serial killers, rumored to have claimed as many as 200 lives in the late 19th century. A con man, opportunist and evil genius, the crowning achievement of his dark deeds was the construction of a building later dubbed the Murder Castle: a hotel on Chicago's south side that he engineered to be a factory of death, complete with a gas chamber, dissection room, trap doors and a basement furnace to destroy any trace of his sinister work.
    Nearly simultaneously, a still-unidentified murderer known as Jack the Ripper was terrorizing prostitutes on the grim streets of London's Whitechapel district. From the moment 20 years ago when Mudgett's world was shaken at the revelation that he was the descendant of H.H. Holmes, he became obsessed with acquiring information about his ancestor. Through extensive research, he began to believe the bold theory that Holmes was also Ripper. Now, the retired attorney has partnered with former CIA criminologist, Amaryllis Fox, who has spent her career identifying terrorists across the globe, to launch a deeper investigation.
    HH Holmes Jack the Ripper
    American Ripper hunts down evidence to prove a link between these two monstrous men including: Holmes's personal copy of his published memoir, housed at the Library of Congress; clues about his earliest victims in Holmes' hometown and childhood home of Gilmanton, N.H.; crime scene evidence from the Jack the Ripper murders including photos, eyewitness accounts and coroners' reports; new interviews with numerous historians and detectives; and new leads in the search for long-lost remains of Holmes' many victims.
    Jeff Mudgett American Ripper
    Jeff Mudgett was living a normal life as a practicing attorney when at age 40 he was thrust into the most harrowing chapter of his life. Learning the facts about his ancestry plunged Mudgett into a full investigation about the forefather from which he unexpectedly learned he was descended, the infamous serial killer, H. H. Holmes.

  • After Hours AM (Smiley Face Killer) with Former FBI Special Agent John DeSouza
    Tonight on a shocking special episode of After Hours AM/The Criminal Code — with hosts Joel Sturgis, Eric Olsen, and forensic psychologist Dr. Clarissa Cole — we plunge into the watery domain of the Smiley Face Killer with former FBI agent and author John DeSouza. Is there a demented serial killer or killers stalking and killing drunken college bros across the nation and leaving a smiley face as a calling card? Or is the linkage of 40 tragic drowning deaths a figment of the febrile imaginations of two retired NYPD detectives?
    Smiley Face Killers victims
    In 2008 retired New York police detectives Frank Gannon and Anthony Duarte announced an amazing and alarming serial killer(s) theory. They theorized that starting in 1997, across eleven states from New York to Minnesota, about 40 corpses that had been fished from bodies of water including rivers, lakes, and ponds exhibited too many similarities to be coincidental, to wit:
    Victims were white, college-aged males Gannon and Duarte described as "athletic, good-looking, and academically successful." Could there be one or more "clumsy, ugly, and dumb" killers out there motivated by resentment and envy?
    All victims were out drinking at local bars or parties on the evening they disappeared.
    In a dozen or more cases, smiley faces were found painted near where the detectives determined victims' bodies had been dumped into the water.
    Virtually all of these "drowning victims" were discovered in northern states during the winter. Very peculiar in itself, but even odder when you consider that there has been no similar pattern of alcohol-related drownings in more southerly states, at any time of year.
    Some disappearances occurred on the same night in different states, leading the detectives to conclude that a "well-structured" organization of killers was responsible.
    While most of the deaths are still classified as accidental drownings, two of the cases, those of Patrick O'Neil in Manhattan in 1997 and of Chris Jenkins in Minneapolis in 2008, were eventually classified as homicides.
    Despite all of this, on the other side of the coin, most investigators say the deaths are merely tragic coincidences. Who is right?

  • After Hours AM Author of "Confrontation with Evil" Steven LaChance
    Join us for a plunge down the rabbit hole on After Hours AM/America's Most Haunted Radio — with Joel Sturgis and Eric Olsen — as we discuss the notorious 1949 St. Louis possession with author Steven LaChance, whose CONFRONTATION WITH EVIL book casts new light on the iconic case that inspired THE EXORCIST. We will talk with Steven in hour 2; In hour 1 Joel and Eric will cast a light into the gloom and review the week's paranormal news.
    One of the most disturbing, influential and famous cases of demonic possession in America, the story of possessed child "Roland Doe" was immortalized in the groundbreaking novel and film THE EXORCIST. Much has been written about the case, but the truth has been elusive, until now, with the publication of Steven LaChance's CONFRONTATION WITH EVIL: AN IN-DEPTH REVIEW OF THE 1949 POSSESSION THAT INSPIRED The Exorcist.
    The horror began ramping up in January 1949 with a dripping sound behind the walls of a Cottage City, Md., house. Then a crucifix on the wall began to shake unnaturally. The dripping sound gave way to a scratching noise beneath the floorboards in one of the bedrooms, which in turn yielded to high-pitched squeak and then a violently shaking bed. Within a few weeks, 13-year-old "Roland Doe" became possessed, his body battered, bruised and nearly torn broken by a spirit, leading to a brutal, extended struggle to free him.
    St. Louis 1949 possession house
    Author and haunting survivor Steven A. LaChance shares the shocking evidence for how a family's grief over the death of an aunt progressed into a full-blown demonic possession. While the conventional story is that Roland Doe brought the demonic infestation upon himself, LaChance suggests an alternative interpretation, and provides new insights into the nature of possession itself. The events of 1949 culminated in grueling exorcism rites, but the story doesn't end there as LaChance guides readers through the stunning aftermath that forever changed the Catholic church and the city of St. Louis.
    Steven LaChance lived through what some call one of the most violent haunting cases in history. In 2012, in an unprecedented move the Roman Catholic Church issued a 156 page report calling his haunting a clear case of demonic infestation, oppression, and possession. The haunting lasted for ten years. In October 2006, the Discovery Channel premiered its third season of its hit show A HAUNTING with an episode featuring Steven, his family, and friends on the haunting titled "Fear House." The depiction of this shows demonic clown has frightened many and is considered one of televisions most terrifying moments. "Fear House" has been seen by over 26 million people worldwide. In 2007, Steven released his first book about the haunting called, THE UNINVITED and it quickly gained critical praise and a worldwide audience.
    In 2010, Warner Brothers featured Steven and others talking about their haunting cases for a documentary for the smash hit CW show SUPERNATURAL. In 2014, Steven released his follow up book on the haunting, BLESSED ARE THE WICKED, which broke records hitting the charts within 5 minutes of its digital release and received critical acclaim for its worldwide release.
    Steven has appeared on numerous television and radio programs worldwide. He has been a featured guest on Fox News Mike & Juliet Show, Fox News, NBC News, CBS News, Travel Channel, Chiller, CNN, Destination America, the Discovery Channel, plus many more including his starring appearance in the Booth Brothers documentaries Children of the Grave, and The Possessed.

  • After Hours AM / Criminal Code The D. B. Cooper Case with Tom Kaye
    Welcome to a brand new weekly True Crime show as After Hours AM joins forces with The Criminal Code, with hosts Joel Sturgis, Eric Olsen, and forensic psychologist Dr. Clarissa Cole! On tonight's inaugural episode, we dive headlong into new developments in the notorious D.B. Cooper skyjacking case with researcher and scientist Tom Kaye, who was recently featured on Travel Channel's EXPEDITION UNKNOWN with tantalizing new forensic evidence 45 years after the crime. We will speak with Tom in hour 2. Hour 1. Joel, Eric, and Clarissa will review and analyze the week's hot True Crime news and banter amiably.
    D.B. Cooper Case
    On November 24, 1971, a man in his 40s wearing a dark a business suit identifying himself as "Dan Cooper" bought a ticket on a Northwest Orient flight from Portland to Seattle. Just after takeoff he handed a note to the flight attendant claiming he had a bomb in his briefcase and demanding $200,000 in cash, four parachutes, and a second plane to Mexico City once the plane landed in Seattle. On the ground in Seattle he released the other passengers, stayed on the plane and instructed that he be flown at low altitude and slow speed to Mexico. In the vicinity of Reno, Nevada, he parachuted out the back of the plane to an uncertain fate. It is the only unsolved skyjacking in U.S. history. Some of the money was found by a boy digging in sand along the Columbia River north of Portland in 1980, but the FBI closed its investigation of the case in July of 2016, in essence throwing in the towel.
    Tom Kaye - D.B. Cooper caseAccording to investigator and scientist Tom Kaye of Citizen Sleuths, in the entire Cooper case, there are only two real pieces ofD.B. Cooper Tie useful physical evidence currently available: the black tie and the ransom money found on the Columbia River. While the money points to what happened after Cooper jumped, it is only the tie that points to where he came from and the life he led. Of all the possible things for him to leave on the plane, the tie was incredibly fortunate for this investigation. A tie is one of the only articles of clothing that isn't washed on a regular basis. It picks up dirt and grime just like any other piece of clothing, but that accumulation never truly gets ‘reset' in the washing machine. Each of those particles comes from something and somewhere and can tell a story if the proper instruments like electron microscopes are used. In 1971, electron microscopes were not in common use and there is no evidence one was used in this case, therefore it is believed that this is the first time this level of investigation has been used to examine the tie.
    All of the particles from the tie shown in this research are too small for the human eye to see directly and are much smaller than even a particle of dust. Kaye and his team used a powerful electron microscope to find more than 100,000 particles of "rare earth elements" on the tie, including pure titanium. Titanium was a rare metal in 1971, and linked Cooper to a "limited number of managers or engineers in the titanium field that would wear ties to work."
    Listen to the program to hear the startling conclusions of the tie analysis and more!

    Tom Kaye, Director of Citizen Sleuths and Foundation for Scientific Advancement, Sierra Vista, AZ
    Tom Kaye's main scientific interest is spectroscopy which branches out into the fields of paleontology and astrophysics. In paleontology, he leads yearly expeditions to recover dinosaur bones. He is directly involved in the controversy over the detection of preserved blood cells and blood vessels in T. Rex bones where his work points to a bacterial source. In astrophysics he leads a team of astronomers that are trying to discover an extrasolar planet using spectroscopy to detect the stars wobble. Recently he has been working on the Chinese Feathered Dinosaurs.

  • After Hours AM THE KILLING SEASON with Joshua Zeman and Rachel Mills
    On a shocking and compelling episode of After Hours AM/America's Most Haunted Radio — with hosts Joel Sturgis and Eric Olsen — we talk with documentary filmmakers Josh Zeman and Rachel Mills about their new true crime series on A&E investigating the Long Island Serial Killer, The Killing Season. We talk with Josh and Rachel in hour2 – in hour1 Joel and Eric present the week's freaky paranormal news and give thoughts on the presidential election.
    The Killing Season — premiering with two back-to-back episodes Saturday, November 12 on A&E at 9/8c — is a riveting documentary series digging very deeply into a succession of murders on Long Island, attributed to the Long Island Serial Killer (LISK). The eight episode series from executive producers Alex Gibney (Enron, Going Clear, Taxi to the Darkside) and Josh Zeman (Cropsey, Killer Legends) follows documentarians, Zeman and Rachel Mills as they investigate one of the most baffling and intriguing unsolved serial killer cases of our time — ten dead sex workers discovered on Gilgo Beach, Long Island, four laid out along Ocean Parkway like trophies.
    Authorities believe these killings are the work of the Long Island Serial Killer, who after five years remains at large. Many of the victims, often referred to as the "Missing Missing," are never accounted for and their murders are far less likely to be solved. Forging relationships with a motley alliance of cyber-sleuths, journalists and victim's families, Zeman and Mills uncover connections that suggest Long Island is just the beginning. Zeman and Mills uncover a web of eerie connections to unsolved murders from Atlantic City to Daytona Beach and beyond — revealing that serial killers are targeting sex workers in record numbers, using Craig's List and similar listing sites on the Internet as their virtual hunting ground.
    The Killing Season Rachel and Josh
    In the first episode, "Whoever Fears Monsters," we find that police have discovered the bodies of ten murder victims along a desolate stretch of highway on Long Island. Police realize they are all connected to the sex trade, but the trail quickly goes cold. Five years later the identity of the killer remains a mystery and local law enforcement has done little to calm the nerves of an anxious community, and though, very well aware of the dangers, escorts are still making their services available via the internet. As Josh and Rachel set out to document the case of the Long Island Serial Killer they quickly find themselves entangled in a quest to find the killer – they become part of the story. With the help of a growing amateur web sleuthing community, Josh and Rachel uncover a tale of deceit and ignorance that takes them deep inside the world of online escorting.
    In episode two, "The Most Dangerous Game," amateur profiler Peter Brendt's shocking theory that two distinct MO's are present among the victims and theorizes that two active serial killers are responsible for the ten bodies discovered along Ocean Parkway compels Josh and Rachel to examine a series of mysterious torso killings ascribed to the "Butcher of Manorville" which have become linked to the Long Island Serial Killer case. The filmmakers have an unexpected breakthrough when they locate the former pimp of one of these victims who in his first media interview points out major flaws in the Long Island Serial Killer investigation. The interview prompts Josh and Rachel to reexamine a crucial piece of evidence, which is stirring an online rumor mill when a potential suspect commits suicide. Meanwhile, a web sleuth shares a promising lead for a match to one of the unidentified that could break the case wide open.
    The Killing Season – Joshua Zeman
    Joshua Zeman has been at the forefront of the true crime genre for the past decade. His critically acclaimed horror documentary CROPSEY, a critic's pick with The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times and Roger Ebert, was called "one of the year's best documentaries" a(continued)
