In the Stranded series premiere, Philadelphia natives Sara, her ex-boyfriend Sean, and their friend Xand catch a boat to the historic Oceanic Hotel on the remote and fog-shrouded Star Island off the coast of New Hampshire. Sara is the group's paranormal enthusiast, while Sean is yet to be convinced, and Xand is a cynic who's looking for adventure. The group steps onto the island and quickly discover reports of disembodied voices, faces peeking in windows, and of furniture that seems to have a life of its own. Their first dinner in the hotel is disturbed by a slamming noise that may or may not have been a coincidence and the girls share a bedroom since Sara's strong beliefs scare her out of sleeping alone. A window that seems to shut itself leads the group to the fourth floor where they suspect ghosts from long-dead hotel staff may be residing. Rumors of a child spirit keep the team on their toes while they explore the nursery and record a hair raising EVP. During their stay, the team explores the farthest corner of the island and discovers a graveyard that could hold clues to the mysterious spirit's identity. With a new lead, they hatch a plan and spring a trap to catch the spirit in action - they tie a number of dolls to the doors in a hallway, hoping to confirm a spirit's presence if any of the doors have opened (and thus the dolls move). No action occurs, but the gang is still spooked. On their last night in the hotel, they decide they should split up for one last investigation. Alone and scared, Xand begs her friends to reunite and they take on the fourth floor together. Here, at the epicenter of the paranormal activity, the team demands the spirit show themselves. One really large, scary crash later, and Sean is determined to face any forces at the hotel, but Xand and Sara convince him to back off. The three leave the island, with skeptics Xand and Sean certainly more convinced than when he arrived about the validity of paranormal forces.

Despite the plush canopy beds, claw-foot tubs, and roaring fireplaces, Katie, Zak and James quickly start to feel less like guests and more like intruders.

On the final night, Katie tries to relax with a bubble bath, but a storm sets all three friends on edge. When a set of locked double doors bursts open in front of them, they panic and begin to unravel. During their climactic final investigation, they hear what sounds like phantom organ music.

Chris is a true believer who wants to prove to his skeptical brother-in-law and questioning wife that the paranormal does exist.

The next morning, Tyler notices that the revolving gate has seemingly moved on its own and motivates the group to find the controls in the basement below. While exploring the bottom floor, a painful kick in Tyler's foot and a whisper in Amber's ear is enough to make the team flee.

Next, they head to the prison's infamous subterranean rec room where Amber discovers the physical power of the paranormal as ghostly fingers seem to grab her throat.

Unlike his companions, Jeff is a resolute skeptic who thinks there's no such thing as ghosts. Their destination is Burn Brae Manor, a stately house and wedding gift from the President of the Singer Sewing Machine Company to his daughter, Margaret Ellis.

To this day, her ghost is reported to haunt the halls, and the sounds of children are said to echo through the house. For five days, the group will investigate these reports by living alone inside the manor. They arrive after dark and set up camp in Margaret's former bedroom, where they try to make themselves at home. But things inside the house are anything but peaceful. In search of a hot water heater, the team explores the pitch-black basement, where relics from Burn Brae's past set Shannon on edge.

The group is terrified to hear what sounds like a child crying, and they nervously head to the mansion's creaky attic to pinpoint the source of the noise. Soon after, objects seem to take on a life of their own, and a fleeting glance at a ghostly hand causes Shannon to begin an emotional downward spiral. The next day, Tommy believes a figure is watching them from the upstairs window, and that night, a trip through the forest to the family's overgrown graveyard leads to terrifying realizations. As tensions rise in Shannon and Jeff's relationship, events in the house continue to escalate. They detect unnerving EMF readings, lights flicker on and off, and on the last night, a phantom noise beckons the team back to the basement. Shannon has a complete meltdown and screams for Jeff to return. After a shocking final investigation, Jeff, Shannon and Tommy leave the mansion the next morning, all thoroughly convinced that they have just survived a week in a legitimately haunted house.

Next, the trio explores the indoor swimming pool where everyone senses something in the pool with them (Princess feels something brush against her leg).
