editThe series follows two paranormal investigators who each went through an alleged near-death experience (NDE).

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". | ||||

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.
