‘Paranormal Lockdown’ Brings The Human Element To Ghost Hunting
Fans of paranormal shows know they tend to fall into one of two categories: the serious paranormal investigators that debunk much of what they find, and the not-so-serious investigations with very dramatic, and sometimes funny sequences, whether intentionally or unintentionally. Unfortunately for those who are really serious about this interest, most fall into the latter category these days, with crazy claims such as “psychic Bigfoot” mind manipulation and investigators freaking out over things they claim they feel that weren’t captured on camera.
Nick Groff (formerly of Ghost Adventures) and Katrina Weidman (formerly of Paranormal State) also set themselves apart from other shows in their approach, by spending seventy-two hours in lockdown in a location, setting up their camping cots to spend the night, and even sleeping in some of the most haunted locations in the country.
Before its debut, Paranormal Lockdown pulled together two stars of shows that fell in each respective category, so many amateur ghost hunters weren’t sure what to expect. With the debut a couple of weeks ago, however, paranormal groups online were buzzing about how much they enjoyed the show, and it was clear that Paranormal Lockdown — and the fans — were taking it seriously. And by taking it seriously, that’s meant in the very best way.
