More about these titles

Paranormal State: The Complete Season Three
In Paranormal State: The Complete Season Three, travel deep into the strange and mysterious with Paranormal Research Society (PRS) founder Ryan Buell and his team of investigators as they set out on cases all over the country, seeking the truth behind the supernatural’s scariest phenomena.

In the Season Three premiere, the PRS dives into a haunting presence in a New Jersey home, which may be caused by an Indian burial ground in the backyard. As the PRS begins digging for answers, they call on a tech expert and a psychic/medium to join their frightening investigation, gathering some compelling evidence on the way. Founded in 2001, the PRS is one of the most-recognized paranormal societies in the nation, working on cases this season that include satanic entities lingering in an abandoned Kansas church and a Kentucky woman’s encounter with a half-human figure bearing ram’s horns. Through the use of Electronic Voice Phenomenon (EVP) recordings and video documentation, and with the help of renowned psychics, demonologists, psychologists, and counselors, the PRS explores these bizarre cases in the hopes of helping frightened people who have nowhere else to turn.
