The first two cases in A&E’s Paranormal State television show premiere (with limited commercial interruption) on December 10th at 10 PM ET on A&E. In this reality series, viewers follow Ryan Buell and his team of paranormal researchers as they investigate their first mysterious happenings in two back-to-back episodes.

In the first episode called “Sixth Sense,” a worried mother calls the Paranormal Research Society (PRS) to help her son Matthew, a boy who sees dead people. Matthew's story strikes a chord with Ryan - who also experienced paranormal activity as a child. Ryan investigates, and discovers that "Timmy", the spirit Matthew sees most often, could actually be the spirit of a neighbor who died on the property years before the family moved there. When Ryan shows Matthew a picture of the real Timmy, the boy identifies him immediately!

In the second episode, “The Name,” airing at 10:30pm ET Ryan and company enlist the assistance of psychic Chip Coffey to help a single Mom who is experiencing paranormal activity in a home that was once the site of brutal murders. But the case is turned upside down when it's discovered that Ryan himself is the target of a taunting demon whose name spells pure evil. Check out a clip of this episode here .
