Scariest Places on Earth is an American paranormal documentary reality television series that originally aired from October 23, 2000 to October 29, 2006 on Fox Family, and later ABC Family. The show was hosted by actress Linda Blair, with narration by Zelda Rubinstein. The show featured reported cases of the paranormal by detailing the location's history, and then sending an ordinary family to visit the location in a reality TV-style vigil.
Synopsis
The series is hosted by Exorcist star Linda Blair, and narrated by Zelda Rubinstein, who is most famous for her role as the clairvoyant Tangina Barrons in the Poltergeist film series. Alan Robson, a well known UK radio DJ and writer, acts as an on-site correspondent.
The main controversy with the show was that it was accused of fabricating some of the aired events.[1][2]
