Travel Channel Paranormal Programming Highlights: August 17th – August 30th
UPCOMING PREMIERES
NEW EPISODES
A longtime adventurer, survivalist and military veteran, Cliff Simon is no stranger to danger and battling the extreme. Fascinated by the supernatural all his life, Simon is now taking his expertise on a personal mission, deep into the murky world of the paranormal in “Into the Unknown.” On a hunt for answers to the nightmarish myths and legends that have haunted locals for millennia – swamp monsters, mythical beasts, ancient aliens and mysterious phenomena – Simon uses his skills to hike, swim and even crawl his way into places most wouldn’t dare go. Whether he’s spending the night inside the ancient lava tubes of California’s Mount Shasta or trudging his way through the deadliest swamp in America, Simon’s journey takes him to haunting places where the wilderness and paranormal intersect. [Hour-long episodes]
“The Brown Mountain Lights” – Premieres Monday, August 17 at 11 p.m. ET/PT
The Brown Mountain Lights of North Carolina are one of the greatest mysteries on the continent, and Cliff Simon is on an eerie recon mission to find out more.

And the only way to find out more is to spend the night in an area where people have been known to disappear.

Facing his deepest fears, Cliff Simon is determined to encounter this bone-chilling phenomenon himself and arrives on the Big Island a few days before the dark moon.
PARANORMAL NIGHTSHIFT (U.S Premiere)
Night is something we lock the door against. Those who work the graveyard shift must venture into the darkness while the rest of us sleep safely. In each episode of “Paranormal Nightshift,” we tell three horrifying stories of paranormal encounters during the night shift. By day, the workplace is rational and efficient – but at night, these same offices, hotels, eateries and even open highways become the domain of ghosts, demons and the inexplicable.
