If you're tired of the same old ghost hunting shows on television starring overly religious straight people, you should tune into the LGBT version on the Internet called Queer Ghost Hunting. It features real people, real ghosts and it's really gay. These paranormal ghost hunters are based out of Ohio. They are the Stonewall Columbus Queer Ghosthunters. It would probably help if they shortened their name, it doesn't exactly roll off the tongue. The members are Scott Priddy, Katy Detrow, Lori Gum, Liam Gallagher, Kai Stone and Shane McClelland.
The web series is quirky and a bit cheesy, but entertaining none the less. Unfortunately, the voice over announcer, a male with a Brittish(?) accent, is rather annoying and seems out of place. However, if you can get past that oddity you may find the informative history side of the show to be quite interesting. Some of the team's adventures include traveling to a former convent to chat with lesbian nuns, contacting the ghosts of young gay prisoners incarcerated for sodomy in the 1900s and visiting with the spirits of gay patients in asylums that were placed there due to their sexual preference. Perhaps this docuseries will open the eyes of television Networks and we'll get new and inclusive paranormal TV shows in the near future.
