Ghost Adventures "Emergency in Elk Grove"

Zak talks of the kind of investigations they do, fun, serious, adventurous and they will put their lives on the line for others to help them rid them of their demons and paranormal woes.  Driving to Elk Grove, California, he tells the guys the dangers.  Also Jillian's friend, Jessica talks to Zak about her troubles.  Jessica won't even go inside right now, but she has been in the house before and has had her pony tail pulled.  She says her spirit has changed and believes what's happening is a result of her father's death too.  She's feeling distressed at that very moment.  He says there is a demonic entity in the house.  She moved in November and noticed something was wrong at once.  The statue of the Virgin Mary flew from the shelf.  She called her father for help and he died a few months ago.  She believes the entity played a part.  His stove was turned on and the microwave fire turned off by itself abut he died after smoke inhalation.  She had a fire in her house beforehand when the stove turned on by itself and the fire in his apartment was three days later.  Her father told her to ask for Zak's help if anything happened to him.

The stove was turned on when he was sleeping.  She saw bloody handprints around the light switch and the door and one print was found on the outside of the door and he died inside.  She felt her arm being pulled and she had a thumbprint on her as well as having her hair pulled.  She kept the microwave.  Zak places the recorder on the microwave and footsteps or a noise is heard upstairs.  She says the noises come from the back bathroom.  Aaron says he can't hear what Zak's saying and Zak has a weird look.  As soon as he says they're going to banish it, the meter spikes.  Zak wants it to do something.  The EMF was increasing on the Virgin Mary.  His left hand turns cold as soon as he calls out Jamie's (her father) name.

Zak speaks with Michelle and Matt, her friends of twenty years.  Michelle had her hair pulled and Matt was pushed down the stairs after being attacked in the bathroom.  The entity gets angry if anyone touches her bed.  Zak is left in the room with them and Billy and a growl is heard.  Zak screams.  The EMF freezes on 30.3 as Aaron takes Polaroids.  Zak knocks the camera out of Jay's hand and laughs maniacally.  He feels something jumped into him and left him powerless.  Aaron says he hasn't felt this scared for Zak since Poveglia.  What about the Reseda House of Evil ep back in 2016 when Zak had that weird, creepy expression on his face.  A Polaroid photo shows a snake-like creature behind Zak by the dresser.  Jillian kept some of her father's belongings by the nightstand where Zak was facing in the photo.  

It's funny I took the pic from my phone from the computer and that patch of red where his head should be is strange.

Zak uses a boom microphone inside with Aaron.  Zak gets afraid as he feels the entity at the top of the stairs.  A light anomaly goes behind Aaron and Zak is tongue tied.  They also see a black mass by her bed.  Zak then sees a black/white face go in front of Aaron.  It was where the nightstand with her father's belongings nis.  A bloody dollar bill is seen to move by Zak.  Aaron's camera just happened to be blurred.  The dollar was on top of the wallet and when it's shown again the dollar is now on the envelope and the wallet is above it.  Did Zak move the wallet and put the dollar on the envelope or did the wallet move leaving the dollar where it was.  Zak doesn't say that or explains why the wallet has been moved??  You can see it in the scenes before and after.  I didn't see the dollar move though when they replay the blurry part.  Zak says no one touched anything in the case, so how did the wallet move??  But something/someone must've moved the wallet.

Aaron believes there's a battle going on in here, her father is battling the entity.  No voices come through on the spirit box.  Zak stares at Billy and he doesn't know until Aaron points it out.  He just stares and doesn't blink at all.  Zak realizes he's lost his sense of time and space and leaves the room.  Billy asks Zak what's happening and he gets defensive and angry as if he's trying to interview Zak.  He can hear talking.  

Jay and Billy use the XLS and a figure appears momentarily by Jay on the stairs.  Zak puts the Polterpod on the stove.  A voice says "remember."  Jay and Billy feel heat by the garage.  A female says "demon" as does a male voice.  He places the pod on the microwave and "the demon" is heard coming through.  On second listening it sounds like "it's Steven" especially on my TV???  A Native American shaman is brought in to cleanses the property.  Jillian has three scratches on her chest.  

The house is cleansed and Jillian hasn't felt any dark energy since then but she woke with another bruise thumbprint.  Zak hopes they don't have to return again.  Just wanted to know why Jillian stayed there.  Depending on how long she moved into the house and found out it was haunted, didn't she have time to withdraw from the sale cos I would have done that if it was possible.  Especially if I felt uneasy in there.  The house was creepy looking, don't like houses like that.  Also pangs of deja vu when watching this ep, particularly with the snake entity, it looked so familiar to me for some reason.  

Ghost Adventures "Territorial Enterprise"

This episode investigates the Territorial Enterprise building where Mark Twain worked.  The new owner says something is affecting people there.  Built 1876 and was the home of the weekly publication the Territorial Enterprise known as a "flamboyant" paper as Zak describes it.  The owner had been told to be careful when restoring the building.   He says there's a portal where the printing plates were sent up, so he was told.  Also Mark Twain's original desk is still there.  Zak feels a "weird connection to Mark Twain."  The owner also found remains in the building when he bought it.  A mummy was discovered and no one told him.  EMF readings show 18 milligauss.  Upstairs Zak is affected by fear when he reaches the top of the stairs.  Sandy, a psychic stands on the fifth step where she doesn't like it and wants to move.  In 2000 she says people were pushed on the stairs and negative energy in the building.  Books flew towards them.  

They find the Knights of Pythias building as someone told them about the hauntings there.  Built in 1876 this was the first structure in Nevada belonging to the Knights.  Akin to the Freemasons, new members are initiated and have to come across a skeleton in an open coffin, blindfolded.  Tom was thrown out of the ladies room by some force.  Child spirits are also present.  Disembodied voices are heard.  I heard some kind of voice when they ask if anyone heard it.  Zak describes how the experiences are similar at both buildings.  

Billy shows the evidence and they hear four different voices and they all sound like children.  All having vocal tone.  A little girl sounds like she's saying, "I touched the glass."  In response to Aaron asking if she broke the glass.  One of them says "Aaron Goodwin."  Seven more EVPs were caught.  The voice they say they reacted to doesn't sound like "kill" but "hear it."  At 16.09.  Particularly as they said they heard a voice and it could be repeating what they say or asking if they heard it.  It's two words, not one.  

Billy and Aaron open the locked door underneath the boardwalk.  They don't find anything there.  Billy captures a figure on the SLS as Aaron sits at the desk in the Enterprise building and he misses it as he's talking to the camera.  They don't get any other figures there.  Billy and Aaron hear the Ovilus say        "Dispose" "Lift" from the mummified body.  The X camera captures a groaning sound from upstairs.  A voice says "I'm trapped."  They both become agitated.  The IR light on the X camera starts flashing.  Billy uses the Paranormal Puck 2 and "sit" comes through.  "Person" wants to talk.  "Malevolent."  Billy: "who said Aaron's name?"  "Crystal."  "Burn."  "Ceiling."  Tom said the building caught fire and the ceiling fell in and killed people.

A light anomaly is caught in the Knight ballroom. As Zak does EVPs on the first floor.  Voice 2 sounds like "get back." ??  Seems they don't like the restoration.   Another anomaly is seen.  The last part of voice 6 says "I need help."  When Zak asks "what is in this building?"  Does it say "terror or horror"?? Zak puts the recorder down on the chair and gets more voices.  Voice 8: "it was over..."                   Voice 9 "get out...hide"??   Zak is afraid in this building.  Trying to get upstairs Jay hears a noise and Zak says it feels like they shouldn't be there.  One voice is heard: they think says "pray for" and Jay sees a ball of light.  The light goes towards Jay's hand.  Zak feels the voices he captured led to a negative attachment following him home and stayed for around 3 days.  

As Zak said earlier in the ep, the experiences at the two buildings appear to be similar.  In which case getting the EVP asking for help, as I heard, makes sense since Aaron and Billy also caught the "I'm trapped" voice at the Enterprise building.  Also did the attachment go with Zak as it was curious or was it cos there was something/someone there caught or being held there and it wanted to see if they got it out.  

Ghost Adventures "Haunting in the Hills"

What is it with these houses and red lights, a bit like his museum. 

Hollywood Hills again with GA and Zak speaks of a different kind of energy being here.  A castle house owned by Holly Madison who bought this house 9 years ago, built in 1926.  She has been plagued by unexplained occurrences and a year and a half ago she saw things began to be more intense.  She heard noises after she bought the house.  Sounds of falling objects and her door burst open during the night and still she sleeps there and lives in that house.  Especially considering who knows what could happen next.  She's also heard voices and people standing behind her and thought it was an intruder, at first.  She had a seance with Patti Negri, as well as her friend Bridget.  Her door dead bolted during the seance.  Didn't the activity got more intense due to the seance.  What was the point of doing that with everything that was going on anyway as she says it was just for fun.  May as well have brought out the Ouija board.

Bridget saw a shadow across the room and heard scuffling.  Patti mentions one spirit of a man who lived here and didn't want to leave.  As well as liking antiques.   Dr Joseph Reese lived in the house and he collected antiques and sold such in an estate sale.  Their researcher found a clipping from a newspaper advertizing the sale.  Patti describe his personality as "hot and cold."  Zak mentions his own collection and people touching his stuff which he hates.  Holly became angry and felt emotions not her own.  Zak thinks the hill is alive with something.  Patti says there's a vortex here.  Krotona  Institute of Theosophy built a compound down the hill in 1912, and he thinks they could've been compelled by this vortex.  

Holly has encountered one of these creatures she describes as akin to Gollum in Lord of the Rings.  She tells Bridget about the demon-like creature but not them, which Zak overhears.  Gerardo Morales. her gardener heard the same growl.  Zak uses the Trifield meter as Zak talks to Reese and the meter spikes.  It jumps again when he asks if he's in front of Holly.  He asks for a noise and they hear something upstairs like a thud.  A light flickers in the ceiling, was this due to what Zak just asked.  It flickers again.  They leave cameras behind in the house.

Zak believes there are portals throughout the Hills.  Jay is sent to investigate outside in the mountains.  Leaving him out on his own again as in the Saltair ep.  Of course anyone could've been out there, not just animals or a spirit, but human.  Zak uses the SLS and doesn't get anything.  That house was horrible though, I wouldn't live there, haunted or not.  Not just cos of the creepy vibe but generally it was small and ugly.  More footsteps are heard upstairs.  The seance was for fun, and part of the ceiling fell down the day after.  

Aaron uses the spirit portal device without success.  He tries to adjust the device and the paranormal puck 2 says "adjust."  Zak uses the Direct Link and another noise is heard upstairs.  Aaron gets cold and Billy says it's the top of the stairs where the action is.  Zak enters the back bedroom and feels something different.  Sits on the floor and feels ice cold in front of him.  He spots some form of a dark mass in front of him which is picked up on the camera.  It's in front of the dresser.  Billy sees it on the camera.  Aaron snaps Polaroids but nothing is caught.  Zak uses the Polterpod and feels a static charge on the top of his head.  A female voice is heard: "who's arrived finally"??  "Where is it?"  "Gently" ??  Or something similar, have to listen again. 

Asks where it is: "staircase."   Likens upstairs to a portal.  In the basement Aaron uses the paranormal puck and asks where most of his antiques were from: where "England Stuff Constant" comes through.  Billy enters the second bedroom and says he was stopped from going in by some energy before and the static sensor lights up.  The lights illuminated left to right.   

Jay sees a light on the hill and climbs up.  It vanishes.  He sets trap cams around the area and an X cam as well as a thermal camera.  A bobcat goes past Holly's house and appears to be tracking Jay, who feels as if he's being stalked.  Jay calls Zak and tells him he's hurt after something jumped up on him.  He was doing a parabolic session and he seems to jump at something and rolls down the hill, a long way down.  He hurts his leg and he falls dangerously close to the cliff edge.  He saw something dark moving towards him.  His leg catches in a tree and prevents him from falling off.  Did he fall or was he pushed and was what happened meant to stop them from investigating further as they did just this  

3am is Devil's hour not witch's hour, thought Zak would've said that seeing as he's into his demons.  They play back the recording to Holly and hear something in the kitchen.  They capture some banging from downstairs, sounded like something falling, was it in the kitchen though, as it sounded like utensils being thrown.  They also play her the wood creaking floor and the voices.  Movement she says is in the staircase area as she hears or sees something everytime she sets the alarm when she leaves.  Thought Zak was all into helping everyone and not just "someone we know [an ex] and a "friend in need."  Don't think everyone would be helped out unless it was something that stood out in the haunting.  Didn't much like this ep, all they did was just confirm her house was haunted, now what??  The Haunted Hollywood ep was far more interesting and yes it was already known the Hills are haunted.

Ghost Adventures "Terror at the Toy Shop"

 

Anticlimactic ep of GA, at least for me, after I kinda got excited about a toy store but it was more a costume store and toys that went with that.   Zak mentions how they were called in to investigate here so this ep was different from the norm.  As in the past they have helped out other families, such as calling in exorcists.  This building has a dark force which is impacting all the employees at Hollywood Toy and Costume.  In 1930 a five-a-dime-store opened at 6600 Hollywood blvd.  I said it wasn't 666.  In 1991 there was a fire and was taken over by the homeless and drug addicts.  1995 the current owner moved in.  Frank says he was being attacked many times.  One was on the stairs and he almost fell when he felt like he was being pushed from behind.  Zak feels it go ice cold when he's speaking with Frank.  He put holy water on the devil's mask and they found the mask on the floor.  Thus Zak surmizes that the spirits are evil.

A lot of poltergeist activity which could have been that or not. With the arrows falling out after Zak asked them to. As well as the staff being terrorized by a shadow figure it appears. Were they calling out for attention or mischevious spirits. Though the place has a very dark history after there was a fire three times.  As well as it being frequented by the homeless. Being told of deaths on the property where the floor couldn’t be seen due to the litany of DBs. Were those deaths classed as homicides, suspicious or just junkies with an addiction. 

Troy shows them CCTV of many captures.  Everything was covered by after the fire and he tells them that bodies were left below.  As well as the manager showing them footage of a book or file flying or being thrown off a shelf.  Poltergeist activity was cited but what if it's a spirit you just couldn’t see.  CCTV footage shows the glass breaking or being broken behind a cabinet as though something was trying to get out, was released or again was it just vying for attention. 

 

Billy and Aaron photograph a dark figure behind some shelves where something was moving.  As Frank said he saw something dark walking behind the shelves after boxes had been moved. As well as someone breathing behind him.  Some light anomalies around Aaron when he, Billy and Jay sat round the table using a new paranormal energy puck device, was seen three times around him; why Aaron and a stick figure was also captured by Jay on the SLS which was also near Aaron.  The spirit on the portal device doesn't say "I'm dead" sounds like something different like "I'm in" or "come in."  A female says "bishop"??  Jay said they didn't have any last rites so this makes sense, unless it's a name.  Yeah can imagine Zak "prowling" after spirits"  HA.

Zak gets "hook 'em."  He gets a female voice saying "take care of me."  Not "green" after he asks "what colour are you wearing?"  A box is moved upstairs which all three of them hear.  Zak concludes they will keep on monitoring the store to gather more evidence, why the spirits are here and the existence of an afterlife.  But by now that an afterlife exists, would thin we need to know what happens in that life and where they are exactly?
