Ghost Adventures

It started with an e-mail that hit our desk today from a man named Robert Bess. It simply read, "You guys don't need horror ideas, but what about someone in real life who actually catches these things?" Our initial reaction was, "What things has this dude caught?" Like moths to flames (and for shits and giggles), we responded and got much more than we bargained for.

With the drought of theatrical horror films hitting the multiplex this October, what's a horror fan to do to get his/her fix in our most favorite of months? We don't know about you guys, but we're heading to TV, where Travel Channel celebrates "Weekends to Die For" throughout October, beginning with the new original mini-series "Making Monsters" premiering on Sunday, October 2 at 9:00 p.m. ET/PT.

Ever wanted to go on a ghost hunt with real paranormal investigators? Well, if you're creative enough, you could win the "Ghost Adventures" Music Video Mashup Challenge and investigate ghosts with Zak, Nick, and Aaron on a future episode of the show.

Hunting ghosts is pretty frightening business. Investigators often traverse locations that most people with even the smallest modicom of common sense wouldn't dare to set foot in. For the Travel Channel's "Ghost Adventures" team, sometimes a little back-up can be a very good thing, and wow, have they brought it this time.
