Ghost Adventures "The London Bridge"

                                          The Ghost Adventures Crew Investigates Arizona's London Bridge ...
Was looking forward to this episode after all the hype and publicity but turned out it wasn't quite what I expected and sure many of you thought the same.  Let's call it anti-climactic.  The history of London Bridge is well known especially if your're Brit and obviously was just touched upon by the show.  Putting it into the context for the investigative purposes of the show.  Interviews ranged from between asking the James Kislingsbury of the London Bridge Experience in London, about the history of the bridge and finding those eighty bodies when it was being dismantled for shipping to the US; including five children.  We all know the hysterical one about Tower Bridge being bought but London Bridge actually being sent out.  Zak also spoke with people who have heard voices telling them to jump off the bridge, notorious for suicides and also from Wayne of the yacht club who along with his father-in-law saw a black mist by the bridge and something shadowy and dark in the water of Lake Havasu.

Perhaps Arizona really needed a watery attraction.  He also spoke to Gary Asbury of seeing a dark figure there, which could have been Jack the Ripper, reported to have used the actual bridge.  There was a film called Terror at London Bridge (1985) with David Hasselhoff and Stepfanie Kramer about Jack the Ripper being transported along with the bridge and reeking havoc by continuing his murdering spree in modern day Arizona.  A bit of hokum fun if you're in the market to watch it this lockdown period to while away an hour and  a half.  Wonder if they had any unusual experiences.

Billy and Aaron were sent inside the tunnels of the bridge to investigate whilst Zak interviewed people at the same time.  They heard a voice, at least Aaron did which whispered "you" to him which is barely audible on the playback.  As well as hearing a scream.  Aaron feels a little uneasy as they near the end of the bridge, where the Gate would be located with the heads on sticks which served as a warning to anyone entering the city.  When Aaron came out, he was all panicky and irritable, yet Zak still got him to go back in, as he investigated the lake with Billy and Jay accompanied Aaron.  Jay also finding information on some of the disasters on the lake, such as the suicide of the doctor and a couple in an accident on the lake.  SO many lost souls there, perhaps still haunting.  When Zak is on the boat he sees a ring-like shape walking along the bridge which can't be debunked as paranormal, so is labelled inconclusive.

They use an underwater drone, which Billy is unfamiliar with and so takes a while to get it started and they don't find anything underwater.  Zak spots a shadow figure near the bridge and is filmed, but  can't say if it's a person or not, this one looked more of a shadowy spirit than a person, a person was more obvious in the Horror in Biggs episode where he looked like he was pacing up and down and watching them??  Jay and Aaron use a new laser grid and get some results with it as the temperature fluctuates.  As well as getting two stick figures on the SLS, one appears to be hitting Jay on the head.  He says he can't go forward into that tunnel.  Aaron is scared by a bat.  They both hear screaming again.

Zak concluding that the Stone Tape Theory and the bridge being constructed from granite shows the nature of the hauntings, as well as them being mostly residual.  But Jay did get the stick figure to appear on cue.  Also why didn't Aaron use the spirit box now or the Direct Link device instead of just the recorder.  Take it nothing was caught.
