Jack Osbourne and Katrina Weidman face off against startling paranormal activity once again, investigating creepier-than-ever locations with supernatural secrets so dark and sinister, they may be downright demonic. PORTALS TO HELL returns with brand-new episodes beginning Saturday, March 20 exclusively on discovery+. Armed with their paranormal expertise, advanced scientific equipment and techniques and a network of specialists, including psychic mediums, Osbourne and Weidman search for answers to these disturbing hauntings. Two new episodes begin streaming on March 20; seven additional episodes will continue to launch weekly, every Saturday thereafter.
“Jack and I have investigated many places, but we were both taken aback by how complex and intelligent these hauntings seem to be,” said Weidman. “There were a number of times we really felt something was among us. It’s scary, but as investigators, it gives us insight into the many layers of a haunting.”
“This was one of the most mind-bending legs we’ve done,” added Osbourne. “These places have such deep, dark hauntings and energy so intense and powerful that you can actually feel it throughout your entire body. When you physically experience the paranormal, it gives you a massive adrenaline rush, but it’s also incredibly unsettling. There were moments when I just wanted to get the hell out of there.”
Their chilling journey begins with a special two-hour investigation of an expansive Colorado ranch that was once home to vicious father-son serial killers, whose evil acts left a haunting imprint on the property. In 1983, the small town of Stratton, Colorado, was rocked when it was revealed that local resident Michael McCormick and his father, Tom, carried out a string of gruesome murders on the family farm. The duo had been killing for years, and while all the victims reportedly buried on the grounds have never been discovered, there are estimated to be as many as 17. Now, the farm’s current owners are grappling with an uptick in intense paranormal activity that has left their family and employees fearful to even be there. In a television first, Osbourne and Weidman investigate the former McCormick property, attempting to uncover answers about its murderous past – and what it is they’re facing now. Are these killers still stalking victims from beyond the grave? Or have their evil deeds opened up a true portal to hell?
