Ghosting with Luke Hutchie and Matthew Finlan is reality TV with a haunted twist

Ghosting with Luke Hutchie and Matthew Finlan is a brand-new unscripted comedy series featuring Luke Hutchie and Matthew Finlan (obviously). Surprise! These two actors are known for their work in the horror genre and are ready to go off-script to take you with them on an other-worldly quest to investigate Canada's most haunted places and answer the question "do ghosts really exist?" once and for all. Or at least with as much truth as it takes to convince a few of their friends.

In every episode, the spooky story-duo will also bring in one of these friends, a celebrity guest, to join them in their mission to separate fact from fiction and maybe add a little extra fact and a little extra fiction on the way.

Using Luke and Matt's penchant for horror and confidence in sauntering around unnerving haunted locales, Ghosting is a little bit Survivor, a little bit Ghostbusters and always a fabulous ride through scares, twists, turns and laughs that the (maybe?) supernatural will bring. 

Ghosting premieres Friday, January 26, with all episodes available at 9am ET on CBC Gem.
