"The R.I.P. Files" set to shoot season 2 episode at haunted Swannanoa Palace in Afton, VA

WASHINGTON - Nov. 14, 2014 - PRLog -- "The R.I.P. Files," a paranormal reality TV show featuring a female-led team of investigators, will be at Swannanoa in Afton, VA, for their upcoming episode, "Spirits of the Palace."  "The R.I.P. Files" is available on Foxtel in Australia and Sky in New Zealand, as well as on the Internet via Gaiam TV and through iTunes, Amazon, Xbox, and other media outlets in the US/Canada only. Season 2 has recently been shooting at haunted locations in Virginia and Maryland  and the producers were invited by the Twisted Paranormal Society (TPS) to investigate the magnificent mountaintop structure known as Swannanoa.

"We enjoy networking  with other paranormal groups and researchers around the world," R.I.P. founder Patricia Marin explained. "We're very happy to be working with TPS on this episode. They did the first official paranormal investigation here and we're going to share some of their evidence with our viewers."

R.I.P. investigators Kenna Hunter, Amelia Cotter, Mark C. Higgins, and Malinka Franklin are hoping to contact the spirit of  Sally May Dooley, widow of millionaire James Dooley, who built Swannanoa Palace in 1912 as a gift to his beloved wife. More than 300 artisans were hired to create the palace as a replica of the Villa de Medici in Rome. Swannanoa has also been a country club, a moonshine distillery during Prohibition, and a school.  The current owner rents out the property for weddings and conferences, as well as paranormal tours and investigations.

"The R.I.P. Files" is a different kind of paranormal TV show. Based in the Washington DC area, the team's goal is to interact with the entities they encounter at haunted locations. They encourage the spirits to share their stories in their own words through amazing EVPs and other evidence that is bridging the gap between the worlds of science and spirituality.

Produced by Marin Group Productions and distributed by New Dominion Pictures, the series may also be available on a US cable TV network in 2015. "The R.I.P. Files" has a website (www.theripfiles.tv) and a popular Facebook  page with over 170,000 fans.  The "Twisted Paranormal Society" website (www.twistedparanormalsociety.com) includes evidence from their earlier investigations at Swannanoa and other haunted locations.
