Across America there are small towns with tree-lined streets and historic homes surrounded by white picket fences that exude charm and tranquility. Travel Channel's paranormal series "Hometown Horror" explores the dark secrets lurking in the shadows of these sunny bucolic communities, many of which are haunted by centuries-old tragedies, such as bloody battles and deadly train derailments. The series delve into the origins of ghost stories spawned by long-ago murders, homegrown monsters and small-town mayhem, stories that leave lasting stains as well as lingering fears. One episode explores the legend of a deranged butcher known as the Pigman in Angola, N.Y., while another episode shares tales of undead soldiers haunting the site of Kentucky's deadliest Civil War battle. The series shares eyewitness accounts and digs into historical records to find the sources of these stories about ghosts, ghouls and the things that go bump in the night.

Season 16 of 6 Episodes

A small town in upstate New York is stalked by a horrific apparition called the Pigman.
Strange sights and sounds terrorize the people of Perryville, Ky., the site of one of the bloodiest battles of the Civil War; the undead soldiers invading the town appear to be drawn by mysterious bloodstains marking the floors of historic homes.
A dark energy overshadows Baraboo, Wis., home to the Ringling Bros. circus dynasty; every inexplicable event and ghostly encounter is a chilling reminder that this town was built on top of an ancient burial ground.
In Hannibal, Mo., locals believe ghostly experiences hark back to sinister scientific experiments and missing children considered lost underground in an infamous cave system.
A quaint Texas town comes alive after dark with the sounds of giggling and pattering footsteps; ghostly children run amok while demonic dolls attack their owners, but that's just the beginning -- the land itself smolders from an ancient curse.
In Massachusetts, the village of Freetown sits next to a vast forest associated with unexplained events, bizarre accidents and satanic cults; many believe dark forces were released when the ancient guardians of the forest were displaced.
