We've waited a long while for Nick Groff to get back into the paranormal investigating saddle on TV and have his own show again! Ghost Stalkers was good and it's a shame that wasn't renewed but Paranormal Lockdown is just as food, if not better and aims to take the limits of investigation to a new level. And by that I mean better as it challenges investigations and delves into an area that hasn't been done before: lockdowns involving 72 hours: day and night. This means longer time to investigate and also a new style of investigation. How many people would actually bed down for the night knowing what they're surrounded by and how anything can happen. It's dangerous and adrenalin pumping at the same time.
Nick is quite the seasoned investigator and the paranormal certainly is his calling and in his blood, so it was good to see him team up with Katrina Weidman; who's had her own experiences too. She was on Paranormal State; and how emotional it was listening to the story of the gruesome murders that took place there without anyone being able to stop it. As well as how brave she was actually spending the night in the same room! Even if she did pull the covers over.
This show speaks to new challenges and stretches the investigation to its fullest and taking it a notch higher. Showing that results can be captured both during the day and night and who says spirits actually sleep. Trans Allegheny Lunatic Asylum was a particularly memorable one for me too, cos it was the first episode I ever watched of Ghost Adventures and I recall Nick being locked down in the morgue. But it certainly bought back a whole lot of memories for Nick.
The Geobox is a great invention as it doesn't have the same interference as the spirit box, especially the SB11. So it's clearer to hear and understand any voices captured. It was exciting and creepy at the same time, that both Nick and Katrina got their names said by the spirits. As they were growing and had grown familiar with them. As well as getting intelligent responses to their questions, such as Katrina saying she'd leave if they can say her name.
As well as spending the nights there which did have an impact on their investigations as their energy waned and opened them up to more experiences and encounters. If only it had been actually on for an hour or two and not just listed as such, cos the other 15 minutes are always the ad breaks!
This was a heart stopping episode and I can't wait to see what other evidence is gathered over the course of the series as new inroads are made into explaining the paranormal and the afterlife further. I liked the way in which both Nick and Katrina explained their feelings and what they were going through during the investigations in an emotional and reasoned way, without any hysterics and how impassioned they were about their findings! They drew us in unsuspectingly. Making us feel we were also there too! Also loved Nick's skull shirt, creepy and cool at the same time!
Wonderful seeing Nick back, it's been too long and along with Katrina, they have great chemistry!
Can't wait for episode 2 at the Anderson Hotel.

I am having a hard time believing this "geo-box" device actually works like they claim. A device such as this would be a real game changer in paranormal investigating. I would love to see HOW this device is put together, as far as internal component design. The second it is turned on the reverberation is clear. I would like to know the purpose of ALL the controls on this geo-box. I am suspecting that one or more of them are to activate a pre-recorded response to a scripted comment or question. I am not just ripping it apart and being negative because I do believe in the existence of some form of energy after we die. BUT I would like to see this device in action and hear a response to a question ask by someone other than Nick or Katrina.
