New Discovery+ Documentary Examines Paranormal Activity At The White House

The new Shock Doc documentary Demon in the White House will take viewers on a dark journey this month as it examines an act between two grieving First Ladies that may have released a malevolent presence that still haunts America’s presidents, their families, the presidents’ closest advisors, and guests at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. President Franklin Pierce and First Lady Jane Pierce lost their son Benjamin at age 11. President Abraham Lincoln and First Lady Mary Todd’s son, William, died at the same age. Both children perished during their father’s administration. The Shock Doc thriller opens archival papers, correspondence, and diaries to document a timeline of supernatural events that unfolded after these grieving families sought solace in the fashionable new spiritualism and seance movement – and the potentially catastrophic consequences that followed. As new presidential families moved into the White House over the past 150 years, there continued to be supernatural activity and strange happenings within the walls of this famous

Sink Your Teeth Into The New ‘Morbius’ Trailer

A new trailer has arrived for Marvel’s Morbius, giving us a glimpse of Morbius’ origin story and a ton of bloody action. Jared Leto as Michael Morbius, a scientist who, while trying to find a cure for a rare blood disease, accidentally transforms himself into a living vampire. Though disgusted by his own bloodlust, he chooses to prey upon criminals he deems unworthy of life.
