TLC Getting Into Ghost Hunting With Ghost Intervention

Editor — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 18:27:43 +0000

TLC will premiere Ghost Intervention on December 12 at 9:00 PM/PT, a four-part docu-series that chronicles a case manager and a team of women with psychic abilities as they try to help different families who are struggling with paranormal activity in their homes. In each hour-long episode, the women use their psychic abilities to read each of these homes, before they even meet the families who live in them. When the families actually sit down with our paranormal team, they realize that their uncanny talents are exactly what they need in order to finally find the source of psychic conflict and rid their lives of the lingering negative spirits.

Meet the team:

Sierra Campbell: As an intuitive medium, Sierra connects with spirits and allows them to communicate with her through her senses. She has been in the field of mediumship for over 14 years and continues to share her gifts with large audiences and private readings. Sierra is also a published author and producer.

Dawn Clare: A self-proclaimed “Bliss Guide”, Dawn is a clairvoyant medium channeler who sees things related to a person that is more in spiritual and energy form. She is constantly getting messages from those who have passed on, and gives guidance focusing on business/career, health, personal, spirituality and wealth.

Tiffany Johnson: After growing up reading tarot cards to her friends and family and continuing through school honing her talents, Tiffany now assists other people through classes, readings and healings as she taps into New Age Spirituality and deeper studies of holistic therapy. In addition to still conducting tarot card readings and channeling sessions, Tiffany is also an ordained minister.

Raiya Davidson: Raiya acts as the case manager, where she gets historic facts about the building and background information from the families in order to provide the mediums with just the right amount of information to get them on the right track. Through many different encounters with paranormal activity from an early age, Raiya knew she had a special gift.

Ghost Intervention is produced by Craig Piligian’s Pilgrim Films and Television

Lost Returning To Tuesdays In February 2010

Editor — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 16:15:18 +0000

ABC has announced that when Lost returns, it will be on a different day. The show’s sixth and final season will premiere on Tuesday, February 2 with a two hour episode, LA X, preceded by a one-hour clip special at 8:00 PM/ET. The following week, on February 9, Lost settles into its regular time slot.

ABC is still working on the rest of its mid-season schedule, but it’s believed that V will take over the Tuesday at 10:00 PM/ET slot behind Lost when the show returns.

Lost has bounced around the ABC schedule throughout its run, having aired in slots as varied as Wednesday at 9:00 PM/ET, Thursdays at 10:00 PM/ET and Wednesdays at 8:00 PM/ET But with ABC’s Wednesday night comedy block working well this season, the network didn’t want to mess with that night. Executive producers Carlton Cuse and Damon Lindelof aren’t fans of airing the show at 10:00 PM/ET, which ruled out Thursday night. With Dancing with the Stars and The Bachelor doing well on Monday, that left Tuesday, have been a weak link in the networks’s performance. The final season of Lost could also perform well against American Idol.

In its announcement, ABC also revealed the roster of this season’s regular stars: Naveen Andrews, Nestor Carbonell, Emile de Ravin, Michael Emerson, Jeff Fahey, Matthew Fox, Jorge Garcia, Josh Holloway, Daniel Dae Kim, Yunjin Kim, Ken Leung, Evangeline Lilly, Terry O’Quinn and Zuleikha Robinson.
