From the articles and trailers, you knew his episode was going to be unlike any you've seen. Leave behind all the episodes that have gone before and all the seasons. This season 13 of GA is dark and extremely haunting and disturbing in many ways. This season in particular is most definitely about demons and demonic rituals. The portals and evil that people conjure up, without even asking why or going behind the reasoning of it all. When it comes to devil worship and satanic rituals, there is no reasoning. After all who in their right mind would even contemplate doing such a dark and macabre thing. Aside from the fact whoever takes part in it doesn't seem to be in the right headspace.
Including those who partake in such rituals for the fun of it. Which makes it worse, what fun exactly are you getting out of it, when you know it will torment. Maybe not you personally, but your families, friends and loved ones. There's no fun in evil and certainly nothing comes close to fun with demonic possessions, oppression and depression when conjuring up the unknown. Yet it's not really the 'unknown' is it. It's been researched, documented and investigated. People know exactly what they're opening up and letting themselves and others in for. The misery, the agony, the pain. The consequences aren't just momentary. They continue and they last and linger and they lead to heartache, anger, and more especially death in some circumstances.
Zak: “Not all locations we do are negative however most of them we choose are. ALL the locations in the ‘Route 666’ special are level 10 dark.”
As shown by his Twitter post too
"Just finished filming our "Route 666" Halloween Special. Its safe 2 say we just took #GhostAdventures to the most extreme darkest level ever
Route 666 of Ghost adventures is the episode that is the most agonizing, depressing and volatile. There was nothing remotely good about it. When I say that I don't mean it lightly or am putting the GAC crew down. When I say that I mean it was pure unadulterated hell from start to finish. The De Soto Hotel investigation was like opening up a can of demons and it went on from there. The reactions in the basement and Zak standing on the exact spot of the pentagram for the rituals without even knowing it. The events couldn't have been foreseen or contemplated. The possessions and the poltergeist activity. Saging the basement and wanting that evil out of there was going to be terrifying. It was going to have consequences but it was something that was necessary. Even just to try.
But tempers flared and it was saying it's in control and can use and abuse humans and their emotions in any way it wants to. Seen in Jay's reaction and how he physically exhibited his anger. Which we haven't see him do. The Reverend even said not to stir anything up in the basement. Yet this was the entire point of the investigation and to get to the bottom of it.
The staircase to nowhere was like Winchester Mystery House. It was almost ironic the number of times the fan was shown on the screen and how they stood by it. The camera being ripped from its secure position, a reminder of the Paris Catacombs. The three knocks in the basement even before Zak mentioned the holy trinity and the hissing heard by Jay.
That fan being thrown and as Zak said he did touch it with the sage as sparks flew from it.
Billy alone at the Concordia Cemetery and the crow appearing the moment he finished the prayer, followed by the three ominous figures. They almost looked like they were wearing robes. But as Zak said they weren't human and nor did they look it. Crows having been long symbolized as not only messengers of death in some cultures, but also bridging the gap between the realms of the living and the dead.
It was like the attachments/energy from the hotel followed onto Denton, Texas. Adding more fuel to the fire. Goatman's Bridge and forest. Another disturbing and gut wrenching episode with moments of sheer evil. If we felt this way watching it, there is no way to imagine what they all went through. There was no need to imagine as you could feel every moment of anxiety, unpleasantness and torture for yourself and if you really felt nothing then you must have been devoid of all humanity and human emotion.
Wonder if Billy wasn't so affected at the bridge as he was on the river, kind of maintaining that divide between the land and the spirits/negativity being kept on the land. I have to add how Billy mentioned, as if with some foreshadowing, how he could be shot at. Then the gunshot that goes off later which he hears on the river and was heard nearer to Ashley. Then there was the ritual that Jay felt was necessary, despite objections, but still trying to work out why Aaron told him to stop it. Especially since Jay said it wasn't satanic.
So having watched the episode on Sunday night, was re-watching Monday night/Tuesday early morning and the video just cuts out with 'an error occurred'! At 2.37am. Can't explain that cos no youtube video of a GA ep has ever cut out like that. It was on the moment when Ashley sees the light phenomena in the woods. Not to mention how I woke on Sunday morning with a sore throat and a chokey (my word) sort of a feeling and it was hard to swallow, before we even watched the ep. Not saying that's anything to do with Zak or what happened to him when some unknown force was making, forcing him to choke himself. Yes I've had synchronicity moments but nothing like this, not physically. It was uncanny.
The voices on the spirit box when Jay was holding it in the circle, Aaron asks "who's responsible for what happened on top of the bridge?" That voice sounds more like ironically, it's saying, 'breathe'???? In which case it was pertinent to what happened to Zak. He even says, "it's really hard for me to breathe right now." It was taunting them and causing them to bicker and it was leading them to the bridge. Aaron says he'd rather be with Zak and look at what happened to both Zak and Aaron when they were on the bridge. Then Aaron tells them to come back down here, but convinced Jay to also go the the bridge. Have the feeling it was luring them there. After Zak's disturbing incident, Billy tells him to "breathe just breathe..."
Also Aaron asking, "did you like what just happened right here?" The voice replies, 'like.'
This episode was named Route 666 for a reason. It was chillingly ominous, heart stopping and genuinely moving. Showing you how far they have come in their investigations in pursuit of finding answers and the truth. That demonic creatures are nothing to be scoffed at or laughed, but feared and taken seriously. That what they all do in their investigations has led them to something affecting them negatively and dangerously. The fallout from which continues and isn't easily gotten over. Ashley still suffers and that was sad and painful to watch. It takes time and with cleansing, prayers and positive thoughts, we all hope she will heal very quickly.
The same goes for Zak, Jay, Aaron and Billy who put themselves out there for every investigation they undertake and endure the pitfalls of searching for the answers. Of how they give of themselves little by little and piece by piece in every lockdown and reliving it afterwards. Particularly the ones like this. Which won't be forgotten by many of us for the foreseeable future, if at all.
This is what they do and as I said, 'when destiny beckons, you face your fear' and these guys have been doing that for years now.
