Paranormal Filmmakers Are Skipping Streaming and Publishing Straight to YouTube

In a world where Ancient Aliens, Project Blue Book, and a host of other similar shows on mainstream cable, it may feel like we're living through a paranormal television renaissance. And we are. But the most interesting work isn't happening on cable or even streaming services like Netflix—it's happening on YouTube.

Many filmmakers who work with the paranormal say they can tell more authentic, unsanitized stories on YouTube than they can on streaming networks. Dana and Greg Newkirk run the successful paranormal blog and media company Planet Weird. While their work is popular in the paranormal community, their largest and most ambitious film project, directed by Karl Pfeiffer, is the eerie and beautiful six part series Hellier, which follows "goblins, UFOs, and high strangeness in Appalachia." It was released directly to YouTube.

Question: How many of you are using YouTube to watch these shows?
