Last month I invited you to jaunt through Portals to Hell with Jack Osbourne and Katrina Weidman. It was a look at what to expect from the upcoming Travel Channel show.
It was originally set to premiere on April 19, 2019, but that date has been pushed back a tad to Friday, April 26, 2019 at 10 p.m. ET/PT.
Portals to Hell Refresher
Hauntings exist all over the world, but there are a few locations with sordid pasts and dark histories that are especially sinister and purported to be doorways to the spirit underworld.
In Travel Channel’s new series, “Portals to Hell,” premiering on Friday, April 26 at 10 p.m. ET/PT, television personality and executive producer Jack Osbourne and paranormal researcher and investigator Katrina Weidman join forces to explore this phenomenon. They’ll investigate haunted locations in search of irrefutable evidence that a spirit world exists, and death is not the end.
In each episode, Osbourne and Weidman dive headfirst into a different historical site, examining unusual incidents while utilizing specialized technology and a network of experts to help document and uncover the truth.
Series Premiere Episode
“The Alaskan Hotel” – Friday, April 26 at 10 p.m. ET/PT
Traveling all the way to Juneau, Alaska, Jack Osbourne and Katrina Weidman check into the Alaskan Hotel to investigate the historic property. As an old gold mining hotel, the Alaskan Hotel was built for luxury. However, it also has a notorious past of crime and prostitution … and a reputation for demonic activity. As the team begins its investigation, things take an unexpected turn to the dark side.
Other Upcoming Episodes
“Twin City Opera House” – Friday, May 3 at 10 p.m. ET/PT
It’s a real-life case of Phantom of the Opera as the team descends on the sleepy town of McConnelsville, Ohio – home of the Twin City Opera House, a majestic old theatre long rumored to be haunted by a host of sordid spirits. Retired police officer Eric Glosser has an ongoing investigation into the dark mysteries of the opera house. After being assaulted by a terrifying and aggressive force, he turns to Jack Osbourne and Katrina Weidman for backup. But during their investigation, it’s Osbourne who ends up in the spirits’ crosshairs.
“Bobby Mackey’s Music World” – Friday, May 10 at 10 p.m. ET/PT
The investigation heats up in Wilder, Kentucky – the home of Bobby Mackey’s, a country honky-tonk considered by many to be the most haunted place on earth and the location of an actual portal to hell. The team attempts to make contact with the other side and faces the possibility of a terrifying spirit possession. Special guest, psychic Cindy Kaza, joins the investigation and receives a dire warning: the team is in serious danger.
“Eastern State Penitentiary” – Friday, May 17 at 10 p.m. ET/PT
The team gains unprecedented access to never before investigated areas of Philadelphia’s Eastern State Penitentiary – one of the country’s oldest standing prisons. Unimaginable suffering and death have left this decommissioned penitentiary active with paranormal activity. Jack and Katrina explore areas of the 11-acre property where the most death and murder occurred. They also deploy Michelle Belanger, their “psychic blood hound,” to help search for the truth.

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.
