Tubi‘s TV catalog might be called a graveyard for canceled shows, but a showrunner’s loss is our gain because not only is the streamer free (with ads) but their selection is massive, especially reality shows that have long since left their respective networks.
In the list below we have selected some highlights from their horror-type reality shows beginning with a classic that jump-started the whole genre.
Ghost Hunters
Ghost Hunters
This original TV reality paranormal team left viewers questioning whether ghosts are real based on the evidence they caught on camera.
The show originally appeared on SyFy for 12 years which speaks volumes about its influence. It’s since been spun-off and rebooted.
Team leaders Jason Hawes and Grant Wilson were plumbers who moonlighted as paranormal investigators and subsequently won our hearts as trustworthy and thorough sleuths even going so far as to debunk their own evidence.
All shows after this one tried to emulate the concept; some were better than others.
Kindred Spirits
Kindred Spirits
If these two paranormal investigators have anything it’s chemistry. Amy Bruni and Adam Berry help people rid their homes of ghost infestations with the help of psychic medium Chip Coffey.
Their investigations are always entertaining and in their seven seasons on air they have managed to gather some intriguing evidence.
Most Terrifying Places in America
Most Terrifying Places in America
This documentary series shines some light on America’s most haunted landmarks with testimonies from proprietors and staff.
Not as in-depth as its reality show cousins but if anything it will add to your bucket list of locations to visit if you’re an enthusiast.
Paranormal Lockdown
Paranormal Lockdown
This is probably the most terrifying show of its type. Nick Groff and Katrina Weidman visit haunted locations where they spend 72 secluded hours together looking for ghostly evidence. It’s revealed that Groff is especially sensitive to evil spirits that wreak havoc on his mental health.
It’s got everything others of its kind have except high production values and that only adds to its claustrophobic atmosphere.
Haunted Down Under
Haunted Down Under
This Australian reality show may be low on production values but it’s big on scares. This all-female-led team of cool paranormal investigators search the land down under for video evidence of the afterlife. It’s derivative, but the personalities of its hosts, Nadine, Caitlin, Hailey, and Celine, and their captured findings are truly entertaining.
Celebrity Ghost Stories
It appears that the Hollywood elite also experience paranormal activity and they aren’t shy about it.
The premise is simple have stars such as Joan Rivers, Ice-T, or Sammy Hagar sit in a chair and talk about their experiences intertwined with re-enacted footage of their encounters.
It’s a simple but effective premise.

Ever since journalist Adam Ellis told his personal ghost story to millions of people on Twitter it inspired others to do the same on other social media platforms like TikTok.
Ellis visits the people who make these online claims to assist them with their noncorporeal problems while understanding his own in the process. It’s schlocky but it makes for great and interesting ghost stories on a dark and stormy night.
