In tonight’s premiere of PARANORMAL LOCKDOWN, Nick Groff and Katrina Weidman visited the Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum in Weston, WV. After 64 hours of confinement, and pushed to the brink of mental and physical exhaustion, cameraman Rob Saffi captured something truly terrifying. Surrounded by complete darkness, Nick and Katrina were unable to see the entity with their own eyes, but from a replay on the 6K camera, they were able to actually see the slithering presence they had been dreading.
In PARANORMAL LOCKDOWN, Nick Groff (formerly of Ghost Adventures) and Katrina Weidman (formerly of Paranormal State), confine themselves in America’s most terrifying places for an unprecedented 72 hours straight. Living at haunted locations, Groff and Weidman believe that the longer they stay, the more the spirits will communicate with them and the more information they can gather about the unknown. Stretching the limits of paranormal investigation, the six-part series PARANORMAL LOCKDOWN airs on Fridays at 10/9c exclusively on Destination America.
Next Friday, March 11, the two journey to the Anderson Hotel in Lawrenceburg, Kentucky. The spirits of some of the former flophouse residents, whose tragic suicides mirrored their bleak lives, are said to haunt the rooms. But among these spirits resides a dark entity, unleashing vicious attacks on the living. Over their 72-hour confinement their mental state deteriorates, and they risk physical and psychological harm to cast out the negative spirit…when suddenly something lashes out.

Randolph County Infirmary
Premieres Friday, March 25 at 10/9c
A plot of farmland in rural Winchester, Indiana was once a safe haven for those unable to care for themselves. A 16-room poor house once occupied the site, sheltering the mentally and physically disabled, unwed mothers, orphans and destitute families. After a fire destroyed the original wooden home, the Randolph County Infirmary, a brick residence, was erected and took over the task until it closed in 2009. The grand building still stands, but inside, the lives of the broken residents – and their shattered dreams – are said to haunt its halls. Nick and Katrina face frigid conditions and unknown forces during their 72-hour confinement.
Special Guest: Grant Wilson, Paranormal Investigator
Hinsdale House

Hidden in the Adirondack Mountains is Hinsdale, a rural community in Northwestern New York. On the road out of town, one house stands apart in a clearing. For more than a hundred years, a dark infestation has possessed the surrounding hills and forests, while something more sinister has driven families from the home for generations. The tales, or a dangerous negative force, have drawn Nick Katrina to seek their own answers on what’s haunting Hinsdale.

Kreischer Mansion
Premieres Friday, April 8 at 10/9c
Nick and Katrina are in Staten Island, NY to seek answers on what increased the paranormal activity inside the Kreischer Mansion. It was here, not long ago, where a gruesome mob hit took place giving the already haunted mansion an even more infamous reputation. Legend has it that during the late 1800s several séances were conducted inside the mansion in an attempt to contact the spirit of a Kresicher family member who died surrounded by mysterious circumstances. Nick and Katrina want to discover who’s haunting the house, but they’ll also attempt to close the doorway to the other side to prevent unwanted entities from taking up residence inside the Kreischer Mansion.
