Anti-Squatter Activist Finds Plenty of Material for His A&E Show in Washington
Flash Shelton and his team help homeowners reclaim property while the series explains squatters' rights and legal limits, A&E said.
- A&E premiered the docuseries Squatters on Tuesday at 10 p.m. and 10:30 p.m. ET/PT, following Flash Shelton as he helps homeowners remove unwanted occupants from their properties.
- Shelton, known as The Squatter Hunter, became an expert after unwanted guests occupied his mother's California home in 2019, eventually building a strong following on his YouTube channel, Outside The Box.
- To force out intruders, Shelton employs unique legal tactics including disrupting privacy with crickets or snakes, and using his leaseholder status to authorize warrantless searches in some counties.
- Each episode explores urgent, volatile cases featuring homeowners on the brink of losing everything, as Shelton and his team work to reclaim properties from uninvited occupants.
- While Squatters' rights exist to discourage vigilante justice, Shelton advises homeowners to install cameras and alarm systems to monitor properties and immediately notify law enforcement of trespassers.
