Ghost Hunters

I remember when I was younger, reading The Amityville Horror back to back in one sitting. It completely freaked me out but I couldn’t put it down. I think I was so engrossed because I believed everything I read was true and there really was some sort of rank demon pig haunting that family. As I’ve gotten older and unwiser I’ve grown more skeptical about ghosts and the supernatural. However, I admit, I Love paranormal shows on TV.

SyFy.

Sci Fi... or Sy Fy... has 95.2 million Us subscribers and $423.9 million in ad revenues.
