Expedition Entity: Ghost Hunters
click here to book expedition entity nowAfter investigating together for years, in 2014 paranormal investigators Dan Norvell and Larry Eissler were disillusioned with the state of paranormal television. After years of paranormal shows being caught faking evidence and creating unnecessary drama, they were determined to create their own show featuring investigation footage without suspenseful music and dramatic stock footage. As a result of their efforts, in 2020 the PARAFlixx Original series Expedition Entity came to be. Their goal was to not only investigate lesser-known haunted locations, but also provide awareness for historic buildings, battlefields, and other significant events that would otherwise remain forgotten. Expedition Entity is positioned to bring about a new wave of paranormal television that focuses on history and investigation first.
As part of their formula, Expedition Entity invites the location owner or someone who experienced paranormal activity in the past, to join their investigation. Through numerous observations, they have discovered inviting a person who has experienced paranormal activity in the location often yields better results. They have also found that a familiar face can bring more comfort to the spirits during communication, and lead to more profound interactions. As proof of their success, Expedition Entity was awarded a Silver Telly Award during the 44th Annual Telly Awards for Best Unscripted Online Series. Among the thousands of entrants in the festival, The Curse of Lizzy Borden and Expedition Entity were the only paranormal winners.
