The creaky doors of a reportedly haunted French chateau swing open once again, this time for the intrepid team of “Expedition X.” Season 9 kicks off with “Chateau of Horror,” an investigation into a site steeped in both ghostly tales and a decidedly grim history. Investigators Heather and Phil, armed with an array of high-tech gadgets and a healthy dose of skepticism, set out to determine if this chateau is truly a paranormal hotspot or just another case of overactive imaginations.

The chateau’s history offers plenty of fodder for spooky speculation. Past residents and visitors have reported encounters with spectral figures, unexplained noises, and the sort of general creepiness one might expect from an old, imposing building. But as Heather and Phil dig deeper, they uncover a darker layer to the chateau’s past, one involving violent murders that may have left a lingering, malevolent energy.

While “Expedition X” has explored its fair share of creepy locales, the team finds the French chateau is host to a greater amount of paranormal activity than anticipated. Whether it’s the echoes of past tragedies or simply the unsettling atmosphere of a centuries-old building, the chateau seems to have an effect on everyone who enters.
