Destination Fear Returns With a Frightening New Season in July

The world might have been on a major lockdown for most of 2020, but those conditions didn't slow down the Destination Fear team, as the lack of people in creepy locations is exactly what they're used to. Given that the team has spent multiple seasons exploring empty and abandoned facilities across the country, the global lockdown allowed them to go even further with their investigations, not only in regards to the climates in which they spent time but also the methods they used to uncover supernatural evidence. The new season of Destination Fear premieres on Travel Channel and discovery+ on July 24th.

Across this season's eight one-hour episodes, the fear-chasing foursome will be driven to the edge of endurance. Exploring under the harshest conditions they've ever faced, and using sensory deprivation tactics to augment their paranormal experiment, this trip will test their mental, emotional and physical strength to the extreme. Venturing inside notoriously haunted locations such as Ohio State Reformatory, the Villisca Axe Murder House, and Odd Fellows Home, the team confronts intense supernatural forces - and they quickly learn these entities do more than go bump in the night.

"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," Dakota Laden shared in a statement. "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."

In the season premiere, Dakota takes the team to one of the most frightening and infamous places in America: Waverly Hills Sanatorium in Louisville, Kentucky. The death rate was so high at this former tuberculosis hospital that a "body chute" was created to hide the constant flow of deceased bodies from those who were living in the facility. Dakota, Chelsea, Tanner, and Alex have dreamed of visiting this location for years, but they've always been too afraid to confront the sinister forces lurking within, until now. Facing a dark history of brutal deaths and paranormal violence, the team is taunted by several tortured souls still looming within the abandoned halls. Physical afflictions and ghostly apparitions put the group through the ultimate test of strength and endurance.

"No other season has challenged our limits of fear like this one," Chelsea Laden pointed out. "It's really forced us to exceed those limitations and do the unthinkable."

Tanner Wiseman added, "I think this is the most vulnerable we've ever been. Even our pit stops are challenging. It adds a whole new layer to our experience."
