Premise

In Extreme Paranormal, paranormal investigators, Shaun, Natan, and Jason explore local legends, seeking the truth by provoking spirits and recreating tragdies during their investigations. Unlike other paranormal groups, this extreme team puts themselves in harm's way with their aggressive tactics by taunting ghosts, summoning the dead, performing rituals, challenging curses, and daring demons to attack them.

Opening: (narrator: Shaun): "Every town has a legend, a haunting, its own portal to hell. We knock on the door and say, "What's up?" (Show Yorself.) "Can the devil come out and play?" We're not your typical paranormal investigators. We set up expierments to provoke spirits. And we won't back down until we make contact. You can't take the heat. Stay out of hell."
