Destination America is quickly becoming your go-to network for paranormal programming. Debuting this August 28 is their newest spooky series premiering exclusively in the U.S.

Haunted Case Files doesn't have a set cast like most ghost hunting shows, and follows different groups as they take on some of their most challenging cases.

Destination America provides all the details in their release that's included below...

From Destination America:
From the producers of Paranormal Survivor comes the all-new series Haunted Case Files, in which ghost hunters recount their most extreme supernatural experiences – from the terrifying to the downright dangerous. Even the most hardened veterans aren’t always prepared for what they might find. These are the cases that truly tested them.

Each episode features a story from three different paranormal investigation groups, along with interviews, recreations and actual recordings of the evidence they captured.

Behind the Scenes of 'Epic Ink'- 'Friday the 13th'

A few months ago, Deanna Uutela, creator of Living Dead Magazine, friend and boss, approached me to be a part of a new tattoo reality tv show. "Epic Ink," centers around Area 51 Tattoo, where shop owner/Captain, Chris 51, has made an inked nerd oasis in the small town of Springfield, Oregon. Naturally, she said, that I was the first person that sprang to mind when they requested a paranormal themed piece, as I am the "paranormal expert" for Living Dead Magazine. When Harold Ramis passed away, I wanted to get a memorial tattoo of him as Dr. Egon Spengler, which was perfect.

I went to the Area 51 website to check out their artists, because getting a portrait tattoo requires a seriously talented artist. While browsing through each artists portfolio, my eyes nearly exploded out of their sockets. These guys (and gal, Heather Maranda!) are like the X-Men of tattoo artists: EFFING BAD ASS. They are also part of an elite group of artists worldwide, that are licensed by LucasFilm. However, there was no question in my mind as to who would be tattooing me. None. Chris Jones was my dude. He eeked out the others because he actually had a "Ghostbusters" piece in his portfolio, so I knew what his Egon looked like and I needed it. Unfortunately, we don't always get what we want and my original idea wasn't going to be able to air on the network. Serious case of the sads. After tossing around a few ideas, since I thought it had to be paranormal in theme, I was asked if I had any other ideas for a piece...something I had been wanting for awhile. Why, yes I did!

Two new spooky shows are coming to Destination America this September. First up is "Ghost Asylum" in which the Tennessee Wraith Chasers (TWC) take viewers to some of America's most terrifying asylums, sanitariums and mental hospitals. "Ghost Asylum" premieres on Sunday, September 7 at 10 p.m. ET. The following week on Sunday, September 14 at 9 p.m. ET, viewers will get treated to some of the most chilling ghost tales to emerge from the Amish community in "Amish Haunting."

In "Ghost Asylum," the goal of the Tennessee Wraith Chasers, "...isn’t just to conjure spirits and collect evidence but they are on a mission to physically capture restless souls with their cutting-edge ghost traps and self-trained Tennessean wit."

From the release:
TWC hunts the most lethal stories; clinics where murdered nurses still roam the halls, hospitals that drive anyone who enters to utter insanity and rehabilitation centers with earth shattering cries coming from the windows. Staffed with experts in every aspect of paranormal investigation these wraith chasers are not your average Ghostbusters but an elite team of ghost whisperers who mesh methodology and skill with old-fashioned common sense and a taste for adventure in order to debunk, disprove or validate each case.

"I Survived a Zombie Apocalypse" Coming to BBC Three

While some people may be "over" the zombie phenomenon, there is no sign of it slowing down anytime soon. According to BBC and Deadline, the virus has infected the world of reality television and will soon be shambling onto screens in the form of a game show.

In a nod that fans of George A. Romero will be sure to appreciate, the show takes place in a zombie infested mall a la "Dawn of the Dead." The ultimate goal of the show, as with any zompoc media, is to survive the hordes until the Army shows up to rescue you. To make things interesting, if a contestant is bitten on the show, they are taken out of the game in a particularly gruesome manner. Here are a few more details via the BBC:
