‘The Hauntist’ Blog Is The New Interactive Companion To Destination America’s Supernatural Programming
Destination America is quickly becoming the network to turn to for the best paranormal programming available on the small screen today. Now, they are offering something more to their fans with the launch of The Hauntist. The Hauntist blog is a new online destination for paranormal investigations, entertainment, and news involving anything creepy, spooky, or odd.
According to the Futon Critic, fans will be able to contribute and participate in several ways, from submitting their own original content, to sharing and taking part in finding answers to the most asked questions regarding the realms of the paranormal and the mysterious.
“The Hauntist is the ultimate companion to Destination America’s paranormal programming, allowing viewers to go farther down the rabbit hole to learn more about the chilling stories and phenomena that fascinate them,” said Jane Latman, general manager of Destination America. “Paranormal fans thrive on sharing their personal experiences, so we’re excited to create an online campfire of sorts, where experts, enthusiasts, and fans alike can gather around to tell their stories, swap theories, and share evidence.”
When first accessing the Hauntist, there is a quiz participants can take to discover what type of supernatural fan they may be. The quiz and other Hauntist content can be rated as interesting or not interesting, and the quiz can be taken again if the first assessment missed the mark. There are also some interesting videos, photos, ghostly stories, and articles to keep paranormal enthusiasts entertained and busy.
Additional content includes giveaways, and fans can also sign up for the Hauntist‘s newsletter to keep up with the latest updates from the blog. With six categories to choose from, there is something for everyone on the Hauntist. Hauntings, ghosts, bigfoot, cryptozoology, aliens, and paranormal 101 are the six categories of paranormal content available on the Hauntist.
Even while on the go, fans of The Hauntist will be among the first to learn about new, original podcasts that are designed with the scary storytelling tradition in mind, and is sure to provide a spine-tingling experience.
