Ghost Adventures "Pacific Grove Nightmare"

Pacific Grove and the investigation of a doll museum.  Which Zak says contains a lot of energy.  The Carmel Doll Shop.  Where neighbours and employees have complained of noises and snoring.  Michael, the owner says that the place is empty at night.  He says there is energy that remains with the dolls.  They've had complaints for three years of  'construction' noises.  A neighbour says he hears snoring.  Zak believes Michael has a link with the energy.  Employees tell of noises and one speaks of seeing someone watching him.  As well as a book shelf falling.  Zak feels something is missing and he gets an answer from Micheal on the death of handyman, George.  But not in the building.  He had problems in his life and that's when they noticed changes.  So the spirit could be that of George.  Michael was on the fifth step and tripped and ended up in a room like he was pulled.  Micheal doesn't feel the cold presence around him.

Chris talks of the puppets and the dark energy accompanying them.  As they played bad parts.  Zak finds the two evil puppets are still around.  Nothing unusual is found in the second floor.  There is activity on the third floor.  A knocking sound is heard after Zak asks if it's upstairs.  In the bedroom Zak feels different.  This is where the spirit who is territorial resides.  The EMF readings rise dramatically.  He uses a digital recorder and gets affected.  The room gets cold.  His name isn't George and Zak tells him he knows his real name.  The EMF goes off.  A voice says "you won't get through."

Zak wants Chris to spend the night.  Leaving behind a digital recorder.  She confirms the puppets are still there.  They pick up noises through the night.  Then "careful."  "Help me, get me out of here..." is what I hear when Billy plays back the digital recording.  Not "tell me."  Is this spirit trapped here and if it's George then he wants to not be here even though he didn't die there, in my opinion.  Perhaps he's trapped.  Especially if he had a troubled life.  Chris says she heard footsteps and saw a man by the bed in her vivid dream.  Wearing a workman's shirt.  Zak believes she had a "visitation" and not a dream.  

Zak shows redness on his neck that he woke up with and it hasn't disappeared yet.  Zak gets affected and tells the spirit to "back off."  He can't leave and his demeanour changes (as usual.) He wants the spirit to stop.  As Zak confronts the spirit and the EMF readings increase.  He's being influenced.  The feeling is human and not demonic.  Zak leaves and Billy uses the Polterpod.  In the middle of the room, the energy increases.  A voice says "let me in."  Much more high pitched than the one caught on the digital recorder EVP.  This could also be asking to be let in with the knocking they heard.

Zak says he was feeling the spirit trying to get into him and use his energy.  Jay uses some experiments on the first floor with the paranormal puck, microphone.  Aaron is affected and Zak picks up two figures on the XLS which both touch Aaron.  One touches Aaron when Zak asks it to.  The thermal device detects cold air on the table.  Aaron is still distressed.  A spirit box falls to the floor across the room as if it was thrown.  Spirit box is always Aaron's 'go to' as well.  SO that can't be a coincidence. The camera Aaron picks up is drained of batteries.  Also the Polaroid camera hasn't been used thus far anymore.

Zak goes to the second floor and Aaron and Billy to the third floor.  Something touches Aaron's hand and he smells perfume and air around him.  Billy asks it to show as a ball of light around Aaron.  When later on a ball is seen manifesting.  Billy leaves Aaron in the bedroom and sits in the sitting room.  Zak does some EVP work.  He hears sounds and a voice.  Is it "won't stop" that he picks up on the recorder.  Billy says he felt like he died and sees his own body.  Aaron experiences the same and that's where the light is seen.  When Zak plays back the second recording he did which sounds like a voice saying "call it."  It sounds a little like Billy to me??  Using the spirit portal device,  Aaron asks "who are you?"  A woman replies "I don't know" and "help us out."  Is what I hear.  Also Billy says he was touched just like Aaron was in the bedroom.  A woman's voice reinforces Aaron smelling perfume earlier on and the soft touch.  Not really much creepiness from the dolls we saw more a human presence/presences.

Ghost Adventures "Montecito Mansion of mystery"

Zak investigates why the Montecito Mansion was calling to him "psychically" and his researcher found the house is all about death.  How some people don't want to leave here and others can't stay.  The mansion was home to some of the most wealthy of Montecito, California.  Becoming a nursing home in later years.  David is the current owner and Zak tells him they've been "invited here."  He has owned it for 21 years and was built in 1885.  David ran the care facility.  In 2000 they had senior care, hospice, surgery at the place.  Many have passed there.  One of his former staff, Maria, feels the presence of spirits.  She tells of a patient who looked up at the ceiling and ignored her.  Like something was floating up there. He then passed away.

Gertrude Bains died after catching a cold and died soon after.  The wife of the man who bought the mansion.  Her daughter married a military man that she didn't approve of as she married for love.  Or could it have been more sinister.  Marguerite The Black Widow  who married rich old men who would then die.  Zak doesn't like the feeling in the place.  There are rooms they can't go into.  He sees a short man as they go into one of the rooms and the door opens by itself.  They also hear some sort of a knock or a bang from outside the room.  The door is where he saw the man there.  Van Doren, a psychic medium.  She talks of a 'gatekeeper' who sits on a chair near the door.  To take care of the house.  The EMF readings rise.  Spirits are in the ballroom, over twenty.  

When the house was a care facility, family members performed a seance and carried it out themselves.  David tells Zak that they got through to someone and they rushed out.  Thus leaving the portal open.  Did Zak close the portal after he finished their seance.  He discovers a photo taken in 1917 where he sees that the house is the same now as it was then.  He senses plenty of energy.  The residents have never left even after passing.

He was called to the building where spirits have seen and heard spirits before their death.  Zak conducts his own seance with Lauren, camera operator and James, who has worked for Zak for eight years as assistant cameraman.  A massive orb flies from James's body or from behind him.  Caught on camera.  Saw that thought it could've been a camera light in passing.  James gets nervous.  A light comes out of one of the candles and also one of the candles near James flickers whilst none of the others do.  On the stairs, knocking is heard and scratching from upstairs where Jeff is standing.  The motion active light turns on on the stairs.  Jeff appears agitated and has to leave the mansion.  

Billy captures a figure on the stairs on the XLS camera.  As though it has fallen on the stairs.  Zak uses the Polterpod.  The man's voice that comes through "did you accept?"  The light comes on the stairs and a woman's voice says "light" on the Polterpod.  He asks who is scratching the wall and the Ovilus says "fire."  Billy mentions his dream where he woke up and a voice says "burn her" three times.  The Ovilus says "coffin" and when Zak asks where it is, "ceiling" comes through.  Lauren feels like electricity is going through her body.  James feels tension.

A man's cough is heard from upstairs caught on an X cam.  Sounds so real.  Cough or sneeze.  They hear a breath upstairs and Aaron's chest hurts.  Zak wears a chest camera rig with multiple mics and they hear the voice.  A light anomaly is caught on the IR and is seen on the depth cam at the same time.  A black anomaly appears on the depth cam inside the mirror.  Zak asks for the man to speak.  He leaves Aaron in the next room by himself.  They hear noises and banging coming from the ceiling.  Zak runs and stands against the wall.  Yeah that'll protect you.  Unexplained noises and Zak uses the digital recorder.  A laugh is heard.  Aaron uses the Ovilus and asks who touched him on the back of his neck.  "Me."  Did he ask who me was?  A female voice is recorded on Zak's recorder saying "one question."

Billy uses the Polterpod: "did you take it down paper?" or "on paper"?? asks a woman's voice.  Doesn't "ready set go" sound like "the lady said go"?? and "you did this" sounds like "new business"??  Which kinda would make sense if the first voice is saying something about paper??  Her name "Brita"?  Then she says "fire."  Again fire comes up in reference to Billy's dream.  Zak finds a wire on the door and a big lock.  He says this was one of the most incredible investigations they have done.  

Some oddities for me, the phone charger was in front of the TV and the wire just slides off the table without even being touched during the start of the show.  Then when I was reviewing later in the night, a box slid forward and fell all by itself, again without being touched.  No idea what happened there!
