Ep 5. Hell's Gate

In Paranormal State season 2 episode 5, titled Hell's Gate, the Paranormal Research Society is called to investigate a historic mansion in Estill Springs, Tennessee. The mansion, known as Hell's Gate, has a dark and tragic history, with many people reporting ghostly and supernatural activity on the property.

The team sets up their equipment and begins their investigation, led by Ryan Buell, the founder and director of the Paranormal Research Society. They interview the homeowners, who recount experiences of hearing unexplained noises, feeling unseen presences, and even seeing apparitions throughout the mansion.

As the team begins their investigation, they quickly realize that this investigation might be more dangerous than they initially thought. Night vision cameras capture strange movements and footsteps, and voices are caught on audio recordings. The team members start to feel a sense of unease as they explore the mansion, with some even reporting physical discomfort and pain.

During the investigation, the team uses a variety of paranormal investigation techniques, including EVP (electronic voice phenomenon), EMF (electromagnetic field) detectors, and thermal imaging cameras. Each team member brings a unique skill set to the investigation, and they work together to piece together the history of the mansion and the potential reasons for the supernatural activity.

As the investigation continues, the team uncovers more and more evidence of paranormal activity. They hear unexplained whispering and scratching noises, see strange shadows moving through the mansion, and even capture a full-bodied apparition on camera. However, the investigation takes a dangerous turn when one team member becomes possessed by an unseen presence. It's a shocking moment that leaves the entire team shaken and uncertain of how to proceed.

Ultimately, the Paranormal Research Society is able to leave Hell's Gate with plenty of evidence of the paranormal. However, the investigation raises many questions and leaves the team members with a sense of unease. They know that the mansion is a place of great sadness and tragedy, and that the spirits there are desperately trying to communicate with the living. The team's investigation into Hell's Gate showcases the true dedication and bravery of paranormal investigators and serves as an important reminder of the power of the unknown.
