DESTINATION AMERICA SIGNS GHOST-HUNTING ALL-STARS NICK GROFF AND KATRINA WEIDMAN TO LIVE WITH THE DEAD FOR ALL-NEW SERIES PARANORMAL LOCKDOWN
January 8, 2016
(Silver Spring, Md.) – From the network that delivered the first-ever live televised exorcism last fall, comes an all-new series this March that stretches the limits of paranormal investigation. Destination America’s six-part series PARANORMAL LOCKDOWN, hosted by paranormal all-star Nick Groff and co-hosted by seasoned ghost hunter Katrina Weidman, follows the two as they confine themselves in America’s most terrifying places for an unprecedented 72 hours straight. Living at haunted locations, many of which have never before been seen on television, some being investigated for the first time ever, 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. From the creepy Kreischer Mansion on Staten Island to the foreboding Franklin Castle in Cleveland, PARANORMAL LOCKDOWN is set to premiere on Friday, March 4 at 10/9c exclusively on Destination America.
“As valued fixtures of the paranormal community, Nick and Katrina have years of thrilling investigation under their belts and join the Destination America family with huge support from their fans,” said Jane Latman, general manager of Destination America. “Overnight explorations are a staple of ghost hunting, but PARANORMAL LOCKDOWN supersizes the suspense in a round-the-clock, multi-day investigation that has never been conducted before on a paranormal TV series.”
“Living with the dead was a whole new experience for me and Katrina, giving us the opportunity to document some incredibly enticing evidence about the afterlife that we can’t wait to reveal to PARANORMAL LOCKDOWN’s viewers,” said host and executive producer Nick Groff.
For Destination America, Groff previously executive produced GHOST STALKERS in 2014 and appeared in EXORCISM: LIVE! this past Halloween to share his experience investigating the original Exorcist house. PARANORMAL LOCKDOWN will mark Groff’s debut as host of a Destination America original series.

I love the show it is ground breaking and original I hope the show stays on for years to come ghost adventures has become a ri[ off of other shows like this one apparently nick was the driving force that kept it interesting for so many season. Kat is also an important element of the program
I like both Nick and Katrina but I’m not sure of this show? So far I find it pretty boring! I hope Nick does not leave ghost adventures if anything Katrina would be a welcome addition to Ghost Adventures! I think she would complete a great team there? Eric, Zach, Nick and Katrina! would be great!
I love this new show I find it very interesting how thy decided to do things differently and spend the night at the haunted location. I just came on this site to see when the new season three will be coming on tv.

Wondering*
I was wonder would i be able to go into the 72hr lockdown?
The Trans-Allegheny episode toward end of, was shot of movement crawling on floor. I truly believe this is a human crawling across floor after watching many ,many times, not as said on show of a snake like crawling. This is one shot firmed, that should stay aired all the time. Out of all shots caught on camera, this is powerful, scary and makes you think ? I agree GAC is not the same, but still a fan. As far as Nick Groff always a fan , and will follow all his shows of present ,future. Truly believe their is something… Read more »
While watching the “Franklin Castle” episdoe I happen to see an orb fly across the screen and go up into the brick wall then it came out again, when Nick is lying down for the night, right before the sensors go off. I was not sure if he caught that in the play back. But you can clearly see it twice! Anyway, I Love the show!!
TO THE MODERATOR… ( Theres NO Name Calling – NO Putting Anyone Down (except the “Travel Channel” and “MY Entertainment and Tupelo-Honey Productions” which is Ghost Adventures Production Company & I only mention them because they are the reason Nick Groff is not a Behind the Scenes Executive Producer which is what he wanted to be when Nick’s wife Had Their Baby” There is no Slander in this Post & it was done with the utmost respect to Nick Groff …& there is no Swearing in it as well…) Now , my take on Season 1 of Paranormal Lockdown. It… Read more »
No, it’s way too scripted, they are NOT locked down, and for the 72 hours, every time it shows Nick or Whats-Her-Name wake up – their hair and makeup seem to be always perfect… For places with no electricity, they are able to go and shower and have them made up very well… For being Locked Down in a Building for 72 hours. They should show themselves dirty and gritty, just like all the real Paranormal Groups are that don’t have a “Paranormal TV Series” after they are at a location for 72 hours.. AND there are more camera shots… Read more »
