TORONTO — Accessible Media Inc. (AMI) announced today a new eight-episode series exploring alleged paranormal activities on Canada’s East Coast, Sight Seers, will debut May 13 on AMI-tv.
Hosted by Mark Joly, who is blind, and Laura Warren, the series follows the duo as they tackle mysteries and attempt to solve a series of fascinating paranormal problems, with each case calling for a slightly different approach and roster of experts.
“At the end of each episode, Mark and Laura either have a clear opinion or — using the results of the investigations — viewers can decide for themselves what scenario is most probable,” reads the press release.
Locations in Nova Scotia explored in season one include: the Queen’s County Museum in Liverpool, where wisps of smoke and odd noises occur at all hours; Lunenburg’s Boscawen Inn, the site of reported ghostly apparitions; the prestigious Halifax Club, host of strange goings-on; and Randall House Historical Museum in Wolfville, where guests say they have been touched and pushed.
“Sight Seers is a departure from AMI’s usual programming while maintaining our mission to entertain, inform and empower Canadians who are blind or partially sighted,” says John Melville, vice-president of content development and programming for AMI-tv/AMI-audio. “We’re looking forward to Mark and Laura’s adventures and are interested in what they discover.”
Season one of Sight Seers features Integrated Described Video, making it accessible to individuals who are blind or partially sighted, in keeping with AMI’s mandate to make accessible media for all Canadians.
Sight Seers will debut Thursday, May 13 at 8:30 p.m. ET on AMI-tv. Episodes can be streamed on AMI.ca and the AMI-tv app.
The series is produced by Halifax-based Ocean Entertainment which has been producing award-winning series and documentaries for more than 20 years, including lifestyle shows, true crime series and factual entertainment.
