Celebrity Paranormal Project

From LoveToKnow Celebrity

Celebrity Paranormal Project is a reality based show that debuted on VH1 on October 22, 2006. Celebrities are left at a "haunted" location with the goal of identifying the paranormal activity before sunrise. When the celebrities arrive at the location, they are given a little background information on the types of activity that have been witnessed. To make things interesting, each location is set up with surveillance cameras to record what happens during the investigation

About Celebrity Paranormal Project

Each Celebrity Paranormal Project begins with two contestants pairing up to explore a specific location. The rest of the cast waits in a surveillance room and guides the two contestants to the designated area.

Once at the designated area, the pair must then aggravate or call out the paranormal spirits using the provided equipment in the set time frame. Once the task is complete, they must then make their way back to the base camp. Then, depending on location, three or four more explorations may happen during the show, giving some contestants the chance to enter the location twice. The purpose of the explorations is to find the location with the most paranormal energy inside the search area.

After the contestants choose which area they feel has the most paranormal energy, they enter the chosen area with an item used to contact the selected spirit, a scroll, and an instruction book. The team selects the contestant with the strongest connection to the paranormal experience to enter this area. That contestant acts as a conduit, trying to get the spirit to enter their body. When this is complete, the contestants say goodbye to the haunted location, and the show ends.
