Summary

Each episode features two unsuspecting ghost-hunting enthusiasts given the chance by a close friend or relative to investigate or tour a haunted location in Canada or America.

At the end of the episode, the host replays the encounters, lets them in on the joke and exposes the real perpetrators, their friends or family.

There are places in this world so mysterious that they challenge everything you know. Locations so terrifying they could only exist on the edge of reason.
