Walking Dead actor Chandler Riggs he has a strong curiosity about the supernatural and what might be beyond the world of the living. The actor has apparently always wanted to investigate with the Ghost hunters team on the Travel Channel and got this opportunity in the next season of the series.

A clip was recently released showing Riggs attempting to contact spirits from beyond the grave. Appears in the video along with the stars of the series Jason Hawes AND Steve Gonzalvesand as one might expect some unexplained phenomena occur.

The press release reads: “The world-renowned TAPS (The Atlantic Paranormal Society) team – paranormal investigators Jason Hawes, Steve Gonsalves, Dave TangoAND Shari DeBenedetti — are back with all-new episodes of Ghost Hunters.
