The nationwide search for the most terrifying home in the country heads to the Great Lakes, where three homeowners believe their property is frightening enough to win a massive renovation. The judges are faced with a trio of uniquely chilling locations, each with its own dark story.

The competition pits a house whose owners claim it contains a genuine paranormal portal against a deeply disturbing one-room schoolhouse with a grim past. The final contender is a former funeral parlor where the previous occupants have apparently never left. Which chilling home will have what it takes to be crowned the region’s scariest?
