If you love spooky fun supernatural TV shows like Ghosted as much as I do, you definitely need to add these 10 shows to your to-watch list! Check them out and tell me your favorites!
I’ve always been a huge fan of shows that mix the supernatural with a bit of comedy. While most of my favorites are heavier on the spooky and lighter on the laughs, Ghosted takes the opposite approach- more laughs than horror. Think along the lines of Ghostbusters. It’s a supernatural comedy television series that airs on FOX, making its premiere on October 1, 2017. The series showcases Leroy Wright (Craig Robinson), a paranormal skeptic and Max Jennifer (Adam Scott), a paranormal believer, who team together to investigate paranormal occurrences around Los Angeles, California. Here are some other awesome TV shows like Ghosted.

If you’re looking for shows like Ghosted that are a bit heavier on the spooky side, Ghost Wars is the one to watch.
