Hulu’s “Out There: Crimes of the Paranormal”

Posted on by

out-there“Out There: Crimes of the Paranormal” is from the creative team behind Hulu’s “Sasquatch”.

The Hulu Original docu-series is set to premiere with all episodes on September 24th on Hulu.

There’s the official synopsis:
Out There: Crimes of the Paranormal” takes you inside eight true crime cases with shocking encounters with the paranormal world – through eyewitness accounts, expert interviews, and all-new investigations. In each case, amidst an agonizing search for answers, one rumor emerges from the pack: something inhuman is afoot. These in-depth investigations transport us to towns and cities across North America where we speak to individuals with eyewitness accounts and first-person details about the extraordinary, supernatural events that changed their lives forever.

A six-year-old boy in the Smoky Mountains disappears forever after being snatched by a mysterious ape-like beast. A UFO crash in Long Island sparks an assassination attempt and illuminates a massive political conspiracy. An occult coven of Satanic witches is implicated in a decades-old New Jersey murder. Lonely ghosts in San Francisco’s Chinatown threaten to steal the lives of the unmarried. In these stories and more, “Out There” tracks down fresh leads and uncovers new evidence amid a labyrinth of twists and turns. At the end of the road, the investigations unearth new truths – about the power of mythology, the allure of the paranormal, and the monsters among us.

“Out There: Crimes of the Paranormal” is produced by Duplass Brothers Productions and Number 19, with Mark Duplass, Mel Eslyn, Jay Duplass, Joshua Rofé, Steven Berger, Zach Cregger, and Alexandra Orton serving as executive producers. Shuli Harel also serves as a co-executive producer, and M. Elizabeth Hughes serves as Producer.
