"Now more than ever audiences are looking for gripping new TV shows to watch and we can't wait to bring Hotel Paranormal to millions of Canadians, coast-to-coast.
"I was excited to come on board and narrate T+E's Hotel Paranormal because I think the show is going to be a real skeptic-buster and as a believer in ghosts that makes me happy," says Dan Aykroyd. "I've been watching T+E's paranormal programming for years and when you marry a great channel with gripping and entertaining real-life ghost stories, such as those told in Hotel Paranormal, I'm on board."
