America's Most Haunted

Destination America's WHEN GHOSTS ATTACK travels to the dark side of the paranormal world, where poltergeist activity is child's play compared to the soul-sucking torment of an evil entity, Sundays at 10pE/P

Told from the first-person perspective of the victim, each episode features chilling cases in which people are attacked by an unknown force from within their own homes. From scratches and bruises to sudden illness and shoves down the stairs, the otherworldly assailants in WHEN GHOSTS ATTACK are invisible, but the scars – both physical and emotional – are all too real.

Lori Settle is no stranger to the paranormal. Having worked in mental health institutions and even a mortuary, Lori has always been around places that generally give people "the creeps." Not to mention her home, which was proven to be haunted by the Omega Paranormal Team. After receiving advice and assistance from the investigation group several years ago, Lori and her daughter Kaitlyn have been an active part of Omega as the case manager and videographer, respectively.

In Lori's episode, "There's No Place Like Hell," which launched the series in October, sunset is upon the quiet town of Fayetteville, W.Va., as the Settle family unpacks their new home. For Settle, a newly remarried mother, it’s the start of an exciting new adventure as a homeowner. But just one week after moving in, Settle notices that her every move seems to be overshadowed by a macabre presence following her around the house. Strange occurrences begin to spook the family, but when the incidents become physical confrontations, Settle starts to fear that a deadly force is on the loose in her home.

The Salem Witch Trials continues to captivate us more than three hundred years after the legendary colonial village was swept away by witchcraft hysteria.
Over 82,000 tourists travel to Salem, Massachusetts annually, drawn by stories of fictional sorcery and the real-life prosecution of the accused.
Too often, the names of the 255 individuals involved—including the nineteen hanged on Gallows Hill—are reduced to stock characters, the reality and intricacies of their lives buried beneath the dramatic details and their legacies smothered by Salem’s modern day carnival atmosphere.
In Six Women of Salem: The Untold Story of the Accused and Their Accusers in the Salem Witch Trials, historian and author Marilynne K. Roach chronicles the lives of six specific women involved in the witch hunt who represent the accusers, the accused, or both, and uses their unique stories to illuminate the larger crisis of the trials.
Six Women of Salem works to reconstruct the events of the trials, bringing to life this representative group of women, and examines the entire experience of the Salem Witch Trials through the eyes of those who lived through the hysteria.
Marilynne K. Roach delivers a historically intimate narrative that gives readers a front row seat to this desperate and dangerous time in history.
Roach  works as both a historian and illustrator. Her illustrations, how-to articles, and travel pieces have been featured in the Boston Globe. She’s lectured to groups ranging in age from kindergarteners to senior citizens, and is the author of the classic The Salem Witch Trials: A Day-by-Day Chronicle of a Community Under Siege. She is a lifelong resident of Watertown, Massachusetts.
