Celebrity Paranormal Project was a reality show on VH1 which premiered on October 22, 2006. Its main concept was to investigate the paranormal activities in an alleged haunted location using paranormal specialist equipments.
Five celebrity participants were left alone in a haunted location from night until sunrise. They were given a brief background of the place as well as the history of past ghost sightings. Their main task was to identify the paranormal activity in the area using their equipments. Surveillance cameras were set up in the entire location to record all the happenings in the area that is being investigated.
The exploration was divided into batches. First, two celebrities go on the exploration while the remaining participants stay at the surveillance station. Those who are at the station are assigned to guide the two in the field towards a specific site. Once the two reach their individual areas, they complete a certain task that sets off paranormal event, and then they return to the station. Two more celebrities then take their turn inside to explore a different site. This procedure is repeated until all celebrities are able to explore the whole location.
Once they have completed the whole exploration, the celebrities then choose who amongst the team has the strongest inclination for the paranormal. They enter the site for the last time and go to the area which they believe is the heart of the paranormal activities. The person who has the strongest connection with the paranormal then acts as a channel to the other world, in an attempt to build contact with the spirits.
Celebrity Paranormal Project last aired on November 1, 2007 and is currently on hiatus. It is still unknown if VH1 will re-air the show or start with the second season.
