There’s hell to pay and Jack Osbourne and Katrina Weidman are on a mission to find out why. The intrepid paranormal investigators team up again for Portals to Hell season 3, which premieres Saturday, April 9 at 10 p.m. ET/PT on Travel Channel and streams the same day on discovery+.
So what’s in store for the all-new season?
Appropriately, the series contains 13 hour-long episodes, none of which contain any Casper-like friendly ghosts. Instead, the deeper the history, the deeper the haunting.
Portals to Hell Season 3 Overview
This season Osbourne and Weidman explore places we’ve seen other TV investigators go, including Detroit’s Eloise Psychiatric Hospital, Philadelphia’s Fort Mifflin, and the infamous Missouri State Penitentiary.
However, they also jaunt to a couple of new locations that have never been investigated on TV before, such as the Taylor Trask Museum in Plymouth, Massachusetts, and the Malco Theater in Hot Springs, Arkansas.
Wherever they go, they confront disturbing activity and malevolent entities using their paranormal expertise, advanced scientific equipment, and a network of specialists, including a team of psychic mediums. In their quest for evidence, will they find answers as to who, or what, is wreaking havoc on the living?
“This is a creepy AF new season, twisted and wildly unexpected,” said Osbourne. “The locations were bottled up with activity that hit us almost immediately. The vibes were dark and tense, and there were many times when I was seriously scared of what we might encounter.”
“These places had an intense energy you could feel the minute you walked in,” added Weidman. “Just being inside some of these buildings elicited an unexplainable physical discomfort. So many of the locations this season are just eerie and unnerving.”
Portals to Hell Season 3 Opener
In the season opener, Osbourne and Weidman travel to one of the haunted places on the Trail to Terror: Hill View Manor in New Castle, Pennsylvania, a shuttered nursing home where former patients are rumored to live on after death.
The sprawling complex has almost as many spirits as it does rooms. Constant reports of scratching, chronic dizziness, and shadow apparitions have turned the building’s new owner, Carrie, from a paranormal skeptic into a full-blown believer.
With her original plans to turn the property into condos no longer viable, she is hoping Osbourne and Weidman can figure out what exactly is going on within Hill View’s walls.
But to get to the bottom of what’s feeding the manor’s dark forces, the duo will first have to face the Creeper –a malevolent shadow creature bent on scaring the living hell out of its victims.

Courtney Mroch is a globe-trotting restless spirit who’s both possessed by wanderlust and the spirit of adventure, and obsessed with true crime, horror, the paranormal, and weird days. Perhaps it has something to do with her genes? She is related to occult royalty, after all. Marie Laveau, the famous Voodoo practitioner of New Orleans, is one of her ancestors. (Yes, really! As explained here.) That could also explain her infatuation with skeletons.
