Storytelling Synopsis:
Meet six paranormal investigators. Decades of hearsay enhances the mysterious allure of the more secluded areas in a town. Full of empty streets and closed-up houses, the locality gives off an aura unlike anything else. It’s a timeless beauty in decay waiting to be uncovered. Along with revealing the energy waiting to be tapped, tender stalks of death also peek from below. Add to this mix of stunning features a sprinkle of spirit ,and you are in for a roller coaster of emotions.
Surrounded by Spirits does more than examine hauntings, it observes the psychological impact on those who try to find answers. Through the midnight vigils, sessions, and active participation in the paranormal, the team faces an illogical world that cannot be reasoned with. The longer the team stays on sight, the more the boundaries of spectator and participant begin to merge.
The pursuit for tangible proof transforms into a quest for inner self-identity. For each one of them, the encounter with the spirits challenges them to confront not just the dead, but themselves, with all of their fear, insecurities, and unresolved emotions.
Intensely personal and dark in nature, Surrounded by Spirits evokes palpable emotion with the skillful guidance of the most seasoned filmmakers of true paranormal documentaries. It elicits bone-chilling fear that the past is not dead. Rather, it is alive waiting to be told, masterfully weaving history, and human effort, not misleading ghost stories.
