THREE ONE-HOUR SPECIALS PEEK INTO THE TORMENTED LIVES OF FAMILIES EXPERIENCING PARANORMAL ACTIVITY INSIDE THEIR HOMES

NEW YORK, NY - JUNE 28, 2013 - A&E Network premieres the chilling three-hour special event "American Haunting," entering in to the tortured lives of three separate families residing in haunted homes. Back-to-back-to-back episodes premiere on Saturday, July 27 at 8PM ET/PT.

"American Haunting" takes a unique look inside the terrifying lives of families encountering paranormal phenomena within their own homes, witnessing first-hand the frightening incidents they experience daily. Surveillance cameras set up throughout the houses capture every moment of the eerie activity that transpires and document the damaging toll it takes on the families' lives. As they attempt to regain control of their homes, the families call on psychics, demonologists, paranormal investigators and exorcists to help them fight back against the malevolent spirits.

The premiere episode of "American Haunting" introduces the McGlone family of Grayson, Kentucky. Their dream home is becoming a nightmare as the family experiences frightening paranormal activity on a daily basis. In addition to moving objects, strange voices and inexplicable smells, members of the family report being physically attacked during the night.

At 9PM, the members of the Rudis family of Irving, Illinois suffer mysterious growls and footsteps, inexplicable scratches and multiple demonic apparitions. Afraid to sleep alone in her own bedroom, the family's teenage daughter has for years spent her nights on the living room couch, rarely sleeping through the night.

At 10PM, the Schuman family of Quincy, Massachusetts believes their haunting began when their dad Jack purchased a 1966 Mustang with a violent past. With tensions running high in the Schuman home, Jack must decide between his beloved car and saving his family.

"American Haunting" is produced by Go Go Luckey Entertainment ("Paranormal State," "Laguna Beach") for A&E Network. Executive producers for Go Go Luckey are Henry Capanna, Gary Auerbach, Julie Auerbach and Tina Gazzerro. Executive producers for A&E are Elaine Frontain Bryant and Fred Grinstein.
