Ghost Adventures: "Curse of Catalina Island"


Zak travels to Santa Catalina Island, California where he has to meet the others.  For whom the bell tolls ha, why y'all dressed as being on holiday.  Zak calls them embarrassing.

This investigation featured historic and iconic haunted Catalina Casino.  Built in 1929 it was a meeting place.  It has a theatre, ballroom and serpentine ramps, secret passages and strange rooms.  He says the whole island exudes mystery and a curse.  Ralph Glidden desecrated Native American graves and land, creating a museum where the bones and remains were used as props and were even sold.  Thousands of bodies were exhumed.  It awakened something on the island.  His collection was also housed in the casino once upon a time.  He says this adds to the paranormal activity.  Zak still  believes spirits can't cross water so they're dealing with thousands of spirits.  Erin has been in the building a lot.  She takes them to the first floor women's bathroom.  Something doesn't feel right here.  Women feel it's not right in there.  There's something in there.  She heard a voice by the door and she didn't go in.  A female voice.  Directly connected to what they will experience.

Inside the theatre she's seen black shadows watching them from ceiling vents.  Erin was 7/8 and saw a bright, white light and saw a black figure in the grate.  Chuck, a tour guide, was born and raised on the island and tells them about the grave robbing.  The Smithsonian wanted bones so Gidden went to all eight Channel Islands.  With case fulls of skulls, resembling a catacombs.  Chuck was told not to mention ghosts on the tour and he laughed that he wouldn't need to say anything; they'll find out for themselves.  The chiefs and religious island chiefs would have their meetings here and they believed there are green doors around, they worked and there were giants guarding the doors and letting certain people in.  Like portals.  Heard a woman's voice too. Chuck thinks it may be a woman in the woman's lounge.

Zak gets a warning on the Polterpod "wait."  Uncanny she sounded like Erin??!!  The Trifield goes bonkers.  Zak feels a force on his chest and can't go in there.  Chuck speaks to the spirits and gets a reaction when he says they'll get the attention they crave.  The meter pegs at 1,000 and can't go further.  Then goes to 48 when Chuck talks about them again.  An orb floats about the women's lounge with a woman's face saying "get out."   Zak talks about portals and this building being a portal.  Jay says they draw a circle when they do rituals and they're in a giant circle.  He talks about the skeleton and was surrounded by 30 children's corpses around the skeleton in an urn.  Jay says it could be a sacrifice.  Aaron feels pain on his back.  Outside the casino they review the Polaroids.  They find a stream of white light coming from one of the mirrors and in another photo, a massive white streaming mist/ anomaly comes out of Chuck's mouth.  When recreating was tried nothing happens.  The photos all centre around Chuck, referring t0 it as "evidence."  

Second level dressing room and projection room.  They continue investigating for the night.  They conduct an XLS sweep.  Zak sings the lyrics to Avalon as they're on the poster on the wall.  He sends Aaron in where he says he can smell damp towels.  Zak asks anything to sit on the chair.  When two figures manifest from the portal after Billy places a chair near the mirror.  The second one seems to struggle coming out.  The mirror being a portal.  The figures were in the reflection in the mirror.  

Zak heads back to the woman's lounge area.  Billy asks for the door to be rattled.  Zak hears someone sliding.   Zak describes the place as The Shining.  They hear the door again by the desk.  "Go back, I'm here" kinda sounds like it and some sort of tinging sounds like glasses clinking and a light anomaly.  They go back to the place with the mirrors they filmed with Chuck.  Zak says it's the portal as the energy shifts.  Zak tells everyone to take a mirror and close their eyes as he says "Bloody Mary" three times.  He did this chant when he was 11.  He saw a woman in the mirror.  They close their eyes and see if anything appears in the mirror.  Billy feels something around him.  Then look in the mirror.  Aaron hears a noise.  Zak asks permission to look through the portal.  They open their eyes on three.  Billy says he couldn't see his eyes and couldn't see his face which disappeared.  Zak faces the wall for 15 minutes.  

Aaron lies on a stage and thought they were behind him and felt dizzy.  He smelled leather and cigars.  Billy is discovered.  they were in the mirror room and he went into the bathroom and calls it scary even with the light on.  Aaron says he thought they were still following him.  Aaron notices the mirror he thinks is a doorway.   They hear creepy laughing.  It was all due to the "mirror thing"  they think they're in a Fun House in a movie.  Yeah House of Mirrors.  They come through the mirrors with an XLS they go back into the mirror room.  Zak asks to be shown how they come through the mirror and he catches a figure walking behind him on the mirror via the XLS.  Thus the figure was behind hi and he filmed the figure's reflection.  Didn't that look like Zak.  You know portals, being fu*ked up by the mirror chanting and losing track of the space around them and where they were! Just my opinion.  Since it wasn't even a stick figure.  Is it wearing a hat?  As the entities they captured before came though as stick figures, not as a 'human' figure form.

Billy says the mirror is at a 45 degree angle.  The reflection was in the first mirror - was that the one Billy saw himself in????  without his face.  Zak  sums up the green door theory again in relation to the evidence they captured.  

Jay asks if there's anyone in the rafters as he investigates the theatre.   He hears a voice.  Sounds like "here."  When Jay leaves, something is caught on the thermal camera filming the stage - a heat anomaly appears, don't know if it's paranormal or not.   Jay doesn't know what's going on but he hears voices and he notices the lamp moving.  That woman sounded like Erin.  

Ironically their evidence was caught around mirrors.  Proving the ancients are using the mirrors to continue between worlds.  Zak: "One of our most monumental investigations ever."  

Another ep where I had deja vu again.  It's uncanny how this keeps happening especially with the portals and the mirrors.  Okay it doesn't happen frequently, but it does with certain eps.  Channel Islands, we have those too, at least the name, known as Guernsey and Jersey.
