Ghostly Encounters is a half-hour documentary series that explores the paranormal through the eyes of the people who claim to have witnessed a supernatural event. Through a combination of interview and recreation, we examine the events that lead our subjects to accept or reject occurrences as supernatural, and how the experience helps or hinders them.

Paranormal experiences aren't just the domain of psychics and tarot card readers - in fact, many ordinary people believe they have had supernatural encounters. Ghostly Encounters looks into those incidents and the regular folks-next-door who had them, and takes the viewer on a chilling ride through a fascinating, highly personal ghost story. Using re-enactment, interviews, and archival photography, Ghostly Encounters combines the exhilarating drama of the encounter with a critical in-depth look at the questions behind it. Two incidents, linked by a recurring theme, are examined on each show. There is no question that many regular people believe they have experienced otherworldly incidents, so Ghostly Encounters approaches each event not asking IF it happened, but WHY it happened. We will walk the viewer through each emotional and fantastic paranormal story, be amazed together that it happened to somebody just like you, examine the possible reasons it happened, from scientific to paranormal to religious to psychological, and reflect on potential links between types of occurrences and groups or types of people.
