In his acceptance speech, Martinez said "winning the best non-fiction series award is not just a success for me and everyone else involved in the production of the show, but this is also a victory for my fellow investigators in the paranormal community.

The show made its debut in October 2018. Among The Witching Hour's features was a two-part special about the Occoquan Inn and stores concerning its spooky history.
