Haunted Case Files
I'm not certain if the season of Haunted Case Files is over, but older episodes are featured along with other programs; as well as reruns of Fear the Woods, Haunted Hospitals, and others. Also, there are numerous mystery programs featured. It's cool to see Amy Bruni (Kindred Spirits), Katrina Weidman (Portals to Hell), and others from past programs, continuing their work on these new programs. Some familiar faces pop up as episode guests as well. As far as being on television, these names go back well over ten years. Often they start out as just another team member, then get their own program; sort've like starting out as an assistant coach.
Fear the Woods, although in between seasons currently, is special. It's done in the documentary style, and the cases are truly bizarre. I'm only familiar with it recently, as it must have earlier been on a channel that I didn't get with basic cable. I think anyone who has done any significant hiking knows that strange unexplained things happen out there from time to time.
