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.

They investigate the suicide of a teenage girl who slit her wrists in one of the rooms, a man who hanged himself in a room closet and the reports of a burning man seen at a window who died in a 1974 fire here. | ||||

Nick and Katrina are the first paranormal team to investigate Franklin Castle in Cleveland, Ohio, a Victorian mansion built in 1860 that's said to be one of the most haunted houses in America.

That's why it's no surprise that in 1974, an exorcism was performed on the entire location and surrounding haunted forest, a Native American burial ground, where a woman was hanged and a man shot and killed his own brother in cold blood. Note: As Nick and Katrina tour the home with demonologist Tony Spera, he calls paranormal pioneer and his mother-in-law Lorraine Warren, who recalls her experiences when she investigated the house. | ||||

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. |
