A production partially shot at the former Norwich Hospital in Preston will hit the airwaves this weekend.

The first episode of “Celebrity Paranormal Project� will air at 10 p.m. Sunday on VH1, but the episode in its entirety also can be seen under the V-Spot section of VH1.com.

the series’ first episode was filmed at Waverly Hills Sanatorium in Louisville, Ky. A group of celebrities spends the show scouring the properties for proof that they are haunted.

Celebrities featured on the show change every week, as do locations and, unless viewers are familiar with the interior look of the Norwich Hospital, they may not know in which episode it’s featured. A confidentiality agreement between the state and the show’s production company, 51 Minds Entertainment, previously barred the company from identifying the property while on-air.

Heidi Hamilton, the director of the Commission on Culture and Tourism’s film division, said the agreement was intended to prevent vandalism or attract more attention to the hospital property.

Representatives from VH1 could not be reached for comment, but the network’s Web site describes the second episode of the program, set to air Oct. 29, as a visit to New England.

The episode will feature supermodel Rachel Hunter, comedian Godfrey, “Baywatch� star Traci Bingham, fitness personality Tony Little and “Survivor� winner Ethan Zohn.

PARANORMAL experts convinced the National Showcaves of Wales are haunted by the ghost of a woman spent the night there last night.

Members of South Wales Paranormal Research spent 24 hours underground at the caves at Dan-yr-Ogof in the Upper Swansea Valley.

Their initial investigations managed to confirm "a presence" within the showcaves with a female voice being heard clearly as well as knocking sounds.

The group's chairman, Steve Cluer, said, "We know that no one has managed to spend a night in the showcave section first discovered by the Morgan brothers in 1912. Many people have tried but they have all come out during the night and we want to find out why they felt so uneasy and decided to leave."
