The Haunted: Pets and Spirits on 'Animal Planet'
lehighvalleylive - Roxanne, a 9-year-old Yorkshire Terrier, is set to be one of the stars of an Animal Planet show called “The Haunted.” “Murder at the Blackhorse Inn” which is set to air at 10 p.m. on Sunday.The dog is owned by Al and Marie Stempo who own Stemie's Place in Williams Township, PA. The filming of the episode, which focuses on animals being acutely sensitive to spirits, marks only the second visit to the bar and restaurant for Roxanne.
“We were getting the place ready to open and the dog just disappeared,” Al Stempo said. “There’s no way an eight-pound dog could get the door open, but she somehow got into the basement. When we found her, she was shaking and shivering. We never brought the dog back.”
The business, formerly known as the Black Horse Inn, was the scene of the 1928 killing of reputed gangster Saverio Damiano. The murder of Damiano was never solved and many customers and workers have reported hauntings over the years.
“Whether or not you’re open to that kind of (paranormal) stuff, the building has an incredible history that makes you open to connecting the dots,” said George Plamondon, an executive producer for Picture Shack Entertainment, which produced the show.
NOTE: I truly believe animals and pets are attuned to the spirit world...but to create a TV show focus on it? Now if the dog could actually tell us what she witnessed, then we'd have something! The fact is that 'Animal Planet' needs to use the popularity of paranormal television in order to get viewers...Lon

Actually I just watched this show last night and was pretty impressed with it. I think it's cool for AP to focus on animals and, well, we can always use more paranormal shows on TV (at least I can). Minus the insane amount of commercials I'd say this show hit it dead on but it still might be too soon to tell. We shall see what next week airs.
