Mark Duplass is no stranger to the world of the paranormal and the strange. He helped produce the true crime series Sasquatch, directed and produced by Joshua Rofé, which existed at the intersection of the paranormal and documentary. Now, the two are working together again on a series that expands that intersection of the weird and the real, inspired by their work on Sasquatch. The new Hulu exclusive series Out There: Crimes of the Paranormal examines eight cases that may or may not have supernatural connections. But nothing is as it seems and each episode twists and turns in shocking ways.
Read the full synopsis below:
Out There: Crimes of the Paranormal takes you inside eight true crime cases with shocking encounters with the paranormal world—through eyewitness accounts, expert interviews, and all—new investigations. In each case, amidst an agonizing search for answers, one rumor emerges from the pack: something inhuman is afoot. These in-depth investigations transport us to towns and cities across North America where we speak to individuals with eyewitness accounts and first-person details about the extraordinary, supernatural events that changed their lives forever. A six-year-old boy in the Smoky Mountains disappears forever after being snatched by a mysterious ape-like beast. A UFO crash in Long Island sparks an assassination attempt and illuminates a massive political conspiracy. An occult coven of Satanic witches is implicated in a decades-old New Jersey murder. Lonely ghosts in San Francisco’s Chinatown threaten to steal the lives of the unmarried.
In these stories and more, Out There tracks down fresh leads and uncovers new evidence amid a labyrinth of twists and turns. At the end of the road, the investigations unearth new truths—about the power of mythology, the allure of the paranormal, and the monsters among us.
We spoke with Duplass and Rofé about tackling true crime in a new way, cryptids, and the enduring power of the Goatman.
