If you are looking for something fun and spooky to do this Halloween season, you just might try watching a few episodes of Haunt ME, a network quality, Indie Award winning web-based TV series by a group of GHS grads. Season seven launched in September, plus all episodes from previous seasons are available for free at www.haunt-me.com.

Some big changes were made in the series this year. All previous seasons were shot at historical and reputedly haunted locations in Maine. This time, Haunt ME hit the road and became Haunt US with season seven shot on location at several paranormal sites in the midwest. Dustin Pari and Reanna Wilson of Ghost Hunters lent their expertise during the first stop of the road trip, which was filmed at the Belvoir Winery and Inn in Liberty, Missouri.

Of special interest to Gorham viewers, the final episode of the new season was filmed at the end of their road trip and explores several haunted places right here in Gorham.

Tyler Gowen, one of the team investigators, said, “Living in Gorham all my life, I’ve been fortunate to have people share their haunted hometown stories with me. We split into three teams and invited our family members to explore the former Shaw Junior High School, Baxter Library, and Old Robie School.”

Over the ensuing seasons, Haunt ME has garnered a growing audience who appreciate the team’s scientific, paranormal rating system which is based on measurable data. They employ a variety of scientific tools and equipment, such as EMF detectors, K-II meters, and more to measure and record visual paranormal activity, while audio-based paranormal findings are picked up by digital audio recorders.

Also new this season: fans are now invited to add to the Haunt ME’s database of paranormal activity by contributing their own observations from any of the Maine locations they have visited. Gowen said, “Between Haunt ME’s adventures and the experiences of the public, this unique rating map will deliver an aggregate of paranormal data that peels back the mystery behind these infamous locations.” The map can be found at haunt-me.com/map.

Haunt ME is a labor of love; all the GHS grads involved have day jobs.

Investigative Cast Member Gowen works at a tech company as a consumer marketing manager. Executive Director and Editor Nick Norfors is enrolled at USM in the Masters program in Public Policy, while also working on a variety of live show productions in and out of New York City. Krista Ryall, website and line producer, works in benefits at Unum, and Erin Cross, the associate producer, is a research scientist at IDEXX. All are GHS ’05 grads and have remained close friends since then.
