In 2010, Lancaster funded and produced a pilot for a proposed paranormal show with the goal of educating children on the supernatural world entitled, Kid Paranormal.

The show was optioned by a reputable production company, however Stephen declined the contract due to personal reasons.
Fourteen years later, Lancaster would swing back around to his goal of educating children on paranormal research with the beginning of a book series entitled, Kid Paranormal: A Kid’s Guide to Ghost Hunting.
