They will be staying with the dead at these reportedly haunted places, many of which have never been filmed for a production. And some, they will be investigated for the first time on television.

For 72 hours, Nick and Katrina confined themselves in the long hallways and abandoned treatment wards of Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum in Weston, West Virginia. In order to capture the shadow figures seen in its 13 buildings on 666 acres, they go through mental exhaustion that causes them to open their minds to the paranormal world and the souls of former patients that remain here.

During their investigation, they learn that a gateway to the other side was opened in the basement during a séance, and recently, a man was murdered here by a mafia hitman.
