Weird U.S.

Season 1

Weird U.S. is a reality television series, and book of the same name, on the History Channel starring Mark Moran and Mark Sceurman, founders of the magazine Weird NJ, as they hunt the United States looking for weird history, hauntings, and legends because, as they say, "history is full of weirdos." It is produced by KPI TV. It is also a series of paranormal travel guides edited by the same two individuals.
