Plot Synopsis

DESTINATIONS OF THE DAMNED WITH ZAK BAGANS is a one-hour reality series that follows paranormal investigator Zak Bagans, as he travels to the farthest corners of the globe to explore the world's eeriest and most cursed locations, where haunts and horrors reign at every destination. These are the world's darkest and most evil locations. Driven by the macabre history and hair-raising unexplained activity that surrounds each nefarious site, Bagans sends his documentary film crew around the globe to explore what lurks within.

In the premiere episode, Zak Bagans sends his team to Armero, Colombia, where thousands perished after a volcanic eruption in 1985. Was it a horrific natural occurrence, or did a murdered priest's last words cause this unprecedented disaster? Does his vengeful curse still echo through the jungle? Other locations featured include a sinister Malaysian mansion with dangerous otherworldly portals; an Italian asylum inundated with demonic activity; a former hotel in the Philippines with an evil past; a Czech Republic castle with dark secrets; a mystical island in Singapore where sinister forces drive off the population, and more.
