Eli Roth Presents: A Ghost Ruined My Life on discovery+ this fall

The discovery+ streaming service has announced that they’re going to begin releasing episodes of a show with quite an attention-grabbing title in October. This show is called Eli Roth Presents: A Ghost Ruined My Life, and the first two episodes will be available to watch on discovery+ as of October 8th. The remaining episodes will then be released on a weekly basis, and in total there will be eight one-hour episodes.

The idea behind A Ghost Ruined My Life is to

highlight the haunting untold stories of victims of the paranormal as they try to unpack the unexplainable causes of their emotional (and sometimes physical) trauma. Taking an entirely new approach to storytelling, the series goes beyond the initial terrifying contact with the unknown. Every unique show aims to reveal the ravaged relationships, lost livelihoods and obliterated sense of self that has plagued the main subject since their first confrontation with a ghost, demon, dark entity or poltergeist. Equal parts horrific and evocative, A Ghost Ruined My Life exposes audiences to the real-life stories of people dragged through hell and back as they struggle to rebuild their shattered lives.

Roth had this to say about A Ghost Ruined My Life:

I was shocked to see how many people experience this phenomenon, and they were grateful to share their stories for the first time on camera. It’s no joke – these people’s lives were ruined by the ghost, which seemed to be the spirit’s goal. They couldn’t work, they couldn’t sleep, they didn’t have the resources to move and if they did, the spirit often followed them. It’s a fascinating subject that I’ve never before seen explored in a series.”

Matthew Butler, general manager of Travel Channel & Paranormal Streaming Content, added:

Who better to help tell these real-life haunted horror stories than Eli Roth. Eli is a master at his craft and working with him has been incredible. He has an unmatched ability to evoke the many layers of fear. Viewers will forget they are watching a television show and instead feel as if they are alongside the subject experiencing every moment. If you enjoy the thrill of being frightened, this is exactly what you want. Having Eli bring his talents to discovery+ this ‘Ghostober’ is an absolute honor.”
