Paranormal researchers are on the prowl in Tennessee as a new season of spine-tingling programming debuts on the Travel Channel. The premiere of the new series “Ghost Nation” accompanies the East Tennessee Paranormal Project to an 1800s farmhouse, and an episode of “Destination Fear” investigates the Old South Pittsburg Hospital. Later, Georgia reportedly moves into the spotlight for the story of a brutal double murder at Trion’s Corpsewood Manor.

Premiering Friday night, “Ghost Nation” calls on the Morristown- based ETPP, headed by Mac McHone, born and raised in Whitwell, Tennessee, and former member of the Chattanooga-based South Eastern Paranormal Society. The case centers on a family in White Pine, Tennessee, just south of Morristown.
According to producers, single mom Brittany Totherow moved into the historic farmhouse thinking it was the perfect place to raise her young son. But soon after moving in, she experienced unnerving phenomena and witnessed a female apparition. Her future husband, Cory, eventually moved into the house with his own children and soon began experiencing events himself. Within days, he started hearing unexplained footsteps and captured video of an apparition standing behind Brittany. Then their children began having strange encounters.
McHone says the ETPP team’s initial investigation turned up “a tremendous amount of [paranormal] activity,” including toys that moved by themselves and a voice saying “hey” or “hello,” heard by three of the members.
