The Lowe Files is a 2017 television series on A&E that takes its viewers on a supernatural journey, following the Lowe family as they explore some of America's most notorious legends and mysteries. The show is hosted by Rob Lowe, his son John Owen Lowe, and his younger son Edward Matthew Lowe. The Lowe boys and their father use their combined talents to hunt ghosts, encounter aliens, and investigate other unexplained phenomena in order to reveal the truth behind these eerie tales.

Each episode of The Lowe Files begins with the trio introducing themselves and the legend they're about to investigate. They then travel to the location, which could be anywhere from the wilds of the Pacific Northwest to the depths of a deserted mine in Arizona. There, they meet with local experts and eyewitnesses who recount their experiences with the supernatural. The Lowes listen intently to the stories, asking questions and gathering any details they can in order to solve the mystery.

Rob Lowe serves as the show's anchor, bringing his signature charisma and charm to every outing. He possesses a keen wit and a natural curiosity, which comes in handy during their investigations. John Owen Lowe, a writer and filmmaker, brings a more analytical approach to their investigations, while Edward Matthew Lowe, the youngest of the trio, is often the first to encounter something truly paranormal. Together, they are fearless and determined, ready to face anything in the field.

The Lowe Files is a unique show that blends the paranormal investigation genre with a family dynamic. The three host's familial bond is evident on the screen and adds an extra layer of intrigue to their investigations. The show also features the latest in technological equipment, including night-vision cameras, thermal imaging cameras, and high-tech audio recorders, to help them capture evidence of the supernatural.

The series explores a variety of paranormal legends, including Bigfoot sightings, alien abductions, and haunted locations. One episode takes place in the famous Skinwalker Ranch in Utah, where the Lowes investigate the area's purported “skinwalker” sightings. Other episodes delve into the supernatural lore surrounding the abandoned Los Angeles Zoo, as well as bizarre crop circles in England. Whatever the legend, the Lowes approach each mystery with an open mind and a willingness to explore every angle, no matter how outlandish.

Despite the show's focus on the supernatural, The Lowe Files never veers too far into the realm of the fantastical. The investigators remain grounded and scientific throughout their investigations, carefully examining any evidence they come across in order to draw logical conclusions. This makes the show accessible to skeptics as well as believers: people who enjoy paranormal stories, but are wary of hoaxes and exaggerations.

Ultimately, The Lowe Files is a fun and intriguing show that explores some of America's most intriguing legends through the eyes of a charming and talented family. It combines elements of travelogue, paranormal investigation, and family drama into one cohesive package. Whether you're a believer in the supernatural or not, The Lowe Files is a must-see for anyone interested in exploring the unknown.
