The paranormal road trip continues in season 3 of Destination Fear. Dakota Laden, Chelsea Laden, Tanner Wiseman, and Alex Schroeder will once again hit the back roads of America to spend the night in the nation’s scariest places.

Season 3 will see the gang use sensory deprivation tactics to augment their paranormal experiments; all as they visit notorious haunts like the Ohio State Reformatory and the Villisca Axe Murder House. The season premiere finds them exploring Waverly Hills Sanatorium, one of the most infamous and terrifying places in America.

“We’ve been through a lot together but even after all of our dark encounters, we’ve barely scratched the surface of what’s out there,” said Dakota Laden. “I usually save the worst location for last, but this time I am throwing us head-first into one of the scariest places in the entire country. And I have a few surprises up my sleeve to fuel the terror even more.”

“No other season has challenged our limits of fear like this one,” added Chelsea Laden. “It’s really forced us to exceed those limitations and do the unthinkable.”
