Paranormal problems on Canada’s East Coast are investigated in AMI-tv’s new series Sight Seers

Ghostly apparitions, faulty electronics, shimmering orbs and odd noises at all hours. Those are just a hint of the alarming activities explored in eight episodes of Sight Seers, debuting Thursday, May 13, at 8:30 p.m. Eastern on AMI-tv.

Join Mark Joly, who is blind, and Laura Warren, who tackle mysteries and solve a series of fascinating paranormal problems on Canada’s East Coast. Each case calls for a slightly different approach and roster of experts, depending on the details of the story.

At the end of each episode, Mark and Laura either have a clear opinion or—using the results of the investigations—viewers can decide for themselves what scenario is most probable.

Nova Scotia locations Mark and Laura explore in Season one include the Queen’s County Museum in Liverpool, where wisps of smoke and unusual sounds occur at all hours; Lunenburg’s Boscawen Inn, site of ghosts haunting its halls; the prestigious Halifax Club, host of strange goings-on; and Randall House Historical Museum in Wolfville, where guests have been touched and pushed.

“Sight Seers is a departure from AMI’s usual programming while maintaining our mission to entertain, inform and empower Canadians who are blind or partially sighted,” says John Melville, Vice-President, Content Development and Programming, AMI-tv/AMI-audio. “We’re looking forward to Mark and Laura’s adventures and are interested in what they discover.”

“Mark and Laura are the perfect guides to inform viewers of a unique aspect of this country,” says Sight Seers Executive Producer and President of Ocean Entertainment, Johanna Eliot. “We’re excited for the rest of Canada to learn about the East Coast and its rich past.”

In keeping with AMI’s mandate of making accessible media for all Canadians, Season one of Sight Seers features Integrated Described Video (IDV) making it accessible to individuals who are blind or partially sighted.

As a modern-day oracle he is often sought after for his unique insight into matters of money, health and the heart.
