Fox has annoucned that they are developing an exorcism-themed show titled Haunted, which is based off the Bob Cramner book “The Demon of Brownsville Road”, according to TV Line. The Devil Inside‘s Brent Bell will be writing and directing.
Per the site:
The project centers on a military agent who is partnered with her ex-boyfriend, now a rogue demonologist, to help a family overcome a deadly demonic infestation of their home. The season-long case investigates the true story of one the most haunted houses in America. The believer vs. nonbeliever duo, by solving the mystery of the present, will solve the mystery of their damaged past. At its core the series will explore the age-old question, “Is evil real?”
Cramner’s book came out in August last year and is an autobiographical tale of the struggles he and his family had upon moving into a house that began experiencing, “…strange phenomena“.
The synopsis explains that they experienced, “…objects moving on their own, ghostly footsteps, unsettling moaning sounds…that gradually increased in violence, escalating to physical assaults and, most disturbingly, bleeding walls. Bob, Lesa, and their four children were under attack from a malicious demon that was conjuring up terrifying manifestations to destroy their tight-knit household. They had two choices: leave or draw on their unwavering faith to exorcise the malicious fiend who haunted their home.“
