About the Show
Unofficially? It started as four teenagers with too much time, one camcorder, and a group chat full of bad ideas.
The Early Days
Before there were episode schedules, release forms, and “please don’t touch that” warnings, the group was just a handful of teens who kept hearing the same stories from the same places: footsteps in empty halls, cold spots that didn’t make sense, rooms that made people cry for no reason.
They began meeting after school to compare notes, trade rumours, and “check things out” in the way teenagers do: with absolute confidence and zero risk assessment.
A camera, a torch, a notebook, and the kind of stubborn curiosity that should be illegal.
A permit. A plan. Or any idea what to do if something answered back.
From “Club” to “Crew”
At first, it was informal. A little “investigation club” between friends (and sometimes not-friends), with Mikey building gadgets, Nikki organising everything into something that resembled a workflow, Bella insisting she could “feel” when a place was wrong, and the rest of the group trying to prove it wasn’t just nerves and urban legends.
The recordings were never meant to be public — until clips started circulating online. The early footage wasn’t polished, but it was convincing enough to get attention… and worrying enough to make adults start asking questions.
Timeline
| Teen Years |
The group forms. After-school meetups turn into late-night “walkthroughs.” Early recordings begin. |
| Early Online Buzz |
Footage spreads. Short clips gain traction. Rumours grow. So do the risks. |
| Pilot Period |
A network gets involved. What was a messy teen project becomes a structured production with rules, schedules, and consequences. |
| Later |
Jason joins. Brought in after the show’s early success to strengthen research, legitimacy, and on-site procedure. (And, unofficially: to stop the crew from doing anything catastrophically stupid on camera.) |
Jason’s Arrival
Jason didn’t come up through the teen “club” era — he joined later, once the show had momentum and expectations. With the production getting bigger and the situations getting stranger, the network wanted someone who could research locations properly, build cases, and keep the work grounded in something more solid than adrenaline.
Adding a dedicated researcher improved preparation and reduced on-site incidents.
(It also created a new problem: someone in the room now has morals.)
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the show real?
The locations are real. The reports are real. The reactions are… very real.
Production does not “add” paranormal activity. (We wouldn’t know how. Also: insurance said no.)
Did it really start when they were teenagers?
Yes. The early days weren’t a brand — they were a mess. A brave mess. A dangerously un-supervised mess.
Why did the team change over time?
Because people grow up, contracts happen, and sometimes a place changes you.
Also: fame is weird. And ghosts are worse.
