Plot

The series follows two paranormal investigators who each went through an alleged near-death experience (NDE). During their investigations, they experiment with trying to find naturally occurring gateways or wormholes which may connect our reality with alternate realities or differing dimensions.

Opening Introduction by narrator:

I'm Chad Lindberg. In 1983, I almost died in a hospital. My name is John Tenney. In 1988, I was pronounced dead.[3] Our experiences with death have led us to believe that some places contain portals, where the dead can cross over into our world. We are on a mission to find them. We're going to spend 48 hours, isolated in some of the rawest, grittiest, haunted locations in the world.

In the series premiere, the Ghost Stalkers duo of paranormal investigators Chad Lindberg and John Tenney, both bonded by near-death experiences, investigate the Whispers Estate, a Turn of the Century Victorian-style house that some believe is evil. They and many others are convinced that all the negative energy comes from a portal located in the basement, making its way up to the attic where non-human entities are known to come through, including a "goat-man".

Chad and John investigate the abandoned Springfield State Hospital, a former mental hospital that mistreated the mentally insane. The town sits on underground springs, which may be a conductor of all the paranormal activity on the complex, as well as forming a portal or doorway to another world. Chad goes on a solo investigation in the Warfield "W" Buildings which are allegedly the most haunted location on campus; a location where female patients were housed and alleged reports of screaming are heard.

Chad and John travel to Tennessee to investigate Wheatlands, a plantation house built in 1825 by the Chandler family who lived and died here throughout centuries. This estate is also where the sordid history of murder, claims of the original owners spirits, and an oppressive paranormal energy from a crystal inside a geode reside.
