TRAVEL CHANNEL REVIVES “GHOST BAIT,” A RADICAL EXPERIMENT USING HUMAN FEAR TO CONFRONT THE MOST TERRIFYING HAUNTINGS
The series originally aired on the Bio channel (now FYI) in 2013. The Cult Classic Series Premieres Thursday, April 4 at 10 p.m. ET/PT
NEW YORK (March 12, 2019) – Paranormal pioneer Bob Magill and empathic investigator Tina Storer take on frightening, personal hauntings in America in the cult classic “Ghost Bait,” lured back to television and premiering on Travel Channel on Thursday, April 4 at 10 p.m. and 10:30 p.m. ET/PT with 12 half-hour episodes. Using a shocking but effective method of isolation combined with sensory deprivation, the duo helps people overcome their fear of intense paranormal activity. After conducting their own paranormal investigation, Magill and Storer use their findings to elevate a client’s fear level and then use that terror as bait to draw out the entity and force a confrontation. By facing their worst fears head on, Magill and Storer believe the living can overpower the negative forces around them to reclaim their sense of peace and control.
“Bob and Tina are two of the most dedicated paranormal investigators out there, and the unique way they conduct their investigations will keep you on the edge of your seat. And fans can’t help but root for the haunting victims as they’re forced to face their worst fears,” said Jane Latman, general manager, Travel Channel.
In the premiere episode, Magill and Storer travel to the historic Brookdale Lodge in Santa Cruz, California, to investigate claims of an evil spirit bullying an employee named Agnes. The paranormal investigators discover the once famed hotel has a dark history filled with mysterious deaths and corruption. Agnes must overcome her deepest fears and challenge the oppressive entity plaguing her in order to continue her livelihood at the hotel. Isolated in the pool room, an area known for frightening activity, Agnes confronts the entity – alone. In the second episode of the night, Magill and Storer head to Monongahela, Pennsylvania, to investigate claims of paranormal activity terrorizing a young couple in their new home. During a chilling late-night investigation, the duo come face to face with a mysterious presence in the woods and capture a terrifying voice inside the house that repeats the phrase, “in a portal.” As a last resort, homeowners, Jason and Nina, are forced to confront their fear of the evil demon in order to reclaim their house.

This show has good intentions but I don’t think they can just scare away Ghost by yelling the don’t go away like that so my opinion is they are giving False hope to these ppl there is so much more involved in making Spirit’s leave exspecially Dark Spirit’s other then that it’s not a bad show
Misty says
My question is… Why put a bag over there head? 99 percent of the time you cant see whats infront of you anyways! Try taking another one of the sences. Like putting the head phones on with spirit box connected so u can actually try and speak with them…
Chris Appel says
and the Gnarly beat up burlap bag, is a little over the top scarecrow like isn’t it?
Marlene Savage says
This show is not what I expected at all , not good , and this burlap bag idea is crazy , looks like your sending these poor people that are having these issues with spirits , to their death , and the so called ghost hunters here are not believable at all , and not helpful , maybe the burlap bag is supposed to scare the spirits away ? it seems like the ghost hunters on this show do not really know what they are doing , the women seems scared most of the time , but yet they will lead these people to a secluded area by themselves to deal with the spirits themselves , that in the end it does not accomplish anything !
