Scariest Places On Earth was an American reality television show that dealt with reported cases of the paranormal by sending an ordinary family to visit the haunted location in a "reality TV"-style investigation. It was produced by Triage Entertainment for Fox Family Channel, which is now the ABC Family and owns the rights to the show. The show is currently being shown in reruns on the Sci-fi Channel, which is a part of NBC Universal.
The show was hosted by Linda Blair of the film The Exorcist. The show was narrated by Zelda Rubinstein, who is most famous for her role as clairvoyant Tangina Barrons in the Poltergeist film series. Alan Robson, a well known UK radio DJ and writer, acted as an on-site correspondant.
The main controversy with the show was that it was accused of fabricating some of the aired events.[1]
