Hulu delivers a true crime/paranormal mashup series with Out There: Crimes of the Paranormal

Hulu is bringing us the perfect mash-up docuseries in September with Out There: Crimes of the Paranormal. That’s right, if you love true crime AND paranormal content (as I do), this series will give you the best of both worlds.

Each of the eight episodes invites viewers to look at a different true crime case that includes “shocking encounters with the paranormal world.” Travel from the Smoky Mountains to Long Island to San Francisco and beyond as you observe interviews with eyewitnesses, experts and investigators. Though the cases are each different, all have one thing in common: there appears to be something strange afoot.

Out There: Crimes of the Paranormal will debut on Hulu on September 24, when you can binge-watch all eight episodes.

Episode break-downs for Out There: Crimes of the Paranormal:

Lights Over Long Island – When a Long Island man is accused of poisoning local officials, he is arrested for the crimes. But he claims he is innocent, and the officials are actually the real criminals; according to the accused, said officials are guilty of hiding the remains from an alien crash.

Interstellar Voyager – Granger Taylor was a man absolutely obsessed with outer space. He was also a mechanical genius who restored an old train he recovered from the forest and rebuilt a World War II aircraft. In November of 1980, the 32-year-old disappeared during a violent storm, leaving a strange note for his parents. In the note, he stated, “I have gone away to walk aboard an alien spaceship, as recurring dreams assured a 42 month interstellar voyage to explore the vast universe, then return.”

Smoky Mountain Nightmare – Six-year-old Dennis Martin was on a camping trip in the Smoky Mountains with his family when tragedy struck. The boy was last seen by his father hiding behind a bush in order to jump out and surprise family friends who were also camping. When he did not re-appear within five minutes, the campers began a search before contacting authorities. Dennis was never seen again, and the theories involve everything from wild animals to a strange “mountain man.”

Ghosts of Chinatown – San Francisco is home to North America’s oldest Chinatown, and was established in the 1850s. In 2012, some detectives in the area began to explore rumors of haunting activity involving female ghosts. As the story goes, these entities threatened to kill the sons of older women so they could marry them in the after life.

Web of the Lizard People – “A deadly explosion in Nashville shines a national spotlight on the strange, decades-long history of ‘lizard people,’ from the murky swamps of South Carolina to the darkest corners of the Internet.”

Jersey Witch Hunt – 16-year-old Jeannette Depalma disappeared in 1972 in New Jersey. Her body was found a month later on a cliff referred to by locals as “the Devil’s teeth.” The circumstances of recovery were somewhat bizarre, and involved a dog bringing home DePalma’s decomposed forearm to its owner. Even stranger were rumors that she had been sacrificed by a local coven.

The Pope Lick Goatman – There is a railroad trestle bridge at Pope Lick Creek in Louisville, Kentucky, and it’s been the source of urban legend for years in the area. The legend involves an evil creature known as the Goat Man, who is described as part goat and part sheep. There have been many accidents and deaths at the bridge over the years, and locals blame them on the creature.

The Shape-Shifting Defense – When a Navajo woman was murdered in Flagstaff, Arizona in 1987, it was reportedly a horrific scene. Sarah Saganitso’s body was horribly mutilated, and a professor at Northern Arizona University was accused of her murder. The case took a bizarre turn when his attorney mounted an unusual defense: that a skinwalker actually committed the murder.
