Ghost Adventures "Goldfield Hotel"

Goldfield Hotel was very personal for Zak and the team.  Going back to the beginning, where it all started.  He says that the hotel has turned even more dark and negative and how it may have something to do with the deaths of Debbie and Mark Constantino.  He doesn't even want to utter Mark's name in places.  But does manage to say it at times.  He says Goldfield is "our legacy."  

1902 is when the town came to be.  As the gold vanished.  Goldfield Hotel is known as one of the most haunted locations in the world.  But there are many such locations.  September 2015 is when the Constantinos died.  Red Roberts also died in October 2020.  As well as a man committing suicide on the steps of the hotel.  Leaving a note that he was influenced by the spirits to kill himself.  Doesn't that beg the question of why are they so easily manipulated into taking their own life.  What promises can the afterlife hold if it means being stuck in limbo, at least for some.  Red's son, Edward now owns the hotel.  Red passed on 19th October and this is when we watched this ep.  Edward says there's a portal on the third floor and he felt numb.  Isn't that how Billy felt later on.  Was that on the third floor.  Edward let them cover all the windows in black, not allowing any light in for a week.  Zak is afraid to be here.

A wooden inn was on the same place on the land.  A fire destroyed the inn and killed three men.  The current hotel being built over it.  Prostitutes also committed suicide.  In 1915 after an earthquake, JB Finley was found dead in his hotel bed the same night.

Janice Oberding returns to the hotel.  Mentioning Debbie and Mark.  She believes the hotel caused their deaths.  The last time they were in the hotel was in 2013.  Zak feels the energy is darker and much more oppressive.  Janis feels the same.  Zak recalls Virginia Ridgeway (wow listening to Zak's voice back then makes him sound a completely different person, well obviously.)  Virginia said her being attacked was due to Zak.  He should have remembered that, I mentioned it in my review of the hotel ep back then and also in my book.  She did a seance and blue lights were seen.  He thinks that could be a result of quartz running through the town.  Passing underneath the hotel.  

He shows them the basement when he was there (with Nick - obviously not mentioning his name) and where they captured the evidence of the boards flying in their doco.  Janice says there will be many ghosts following them around and she feels it.  The air feels "heavier, darker," to her and not being able to relax.  On the main floor, they head to room 109, Elizabeth's room.  George Wingfield, the original owner had a baby with her.  Killed the baby and kept her hostage in this room.  The cause of her death is unsolved.  "Kill, enter, sit, you're in my f**king house," were captured here when they were here before.  They hear a man's voice.  He asks the man if they just heard him?  A man' replies "yes."  Zak asks if the spirit knows them.  As the meter rises.  Zak wants Janice to ask if it's Mark and asks if he's still here.  But they don't know who it is.  Aaron is emotionally affected and cries.

Heather, a tourguide mentions the man who committed suicide here.  He shot himself on the steps and the bullet ended up in the building across the street.  Zak says the voice came from the area where he killed himself.  He left a note saying he'd be the new spirit to haunt the hotel.  He can't be sure of that.  Celia and Jonathan experienced darkness in October 2020.  Was looking at the articles from the ep and most deaths occurred in October/November.  Crap my dad passed in October too!!  Jonathan said he felt like he was being suffocated.  Celia takes them to Elizabeth's room.  She thought she saw a shadow.  She felt watched and burning on her back.  She was scratched when they were last here.  They felt it  where Elizabeth was slammed against the wall and where the glass was shattered when the Crew were there with the Constantinos.

Zak walks towards the room and his demeanour changes.  He feels violent and rage, directed at Celia. He discourages her from going to the room.  Jonathan mentions "the boy" which is believed to be a demon.  Zak talks of his dream and the worst "nightmare of my entire life."  There's a power outage in the hotel they were staying at, at 2.30am.  The entities wanted the hotel to be dark too.  Which is what he believes.  Billy put a recorder on the original safe in the lobby and gets EVPs.  The first one says "Aaron."  Why does that voice sound like Mark to me.  Second voice: "it's hotel hell!"  Then "get out."  It's silent where they catch the EVP about "hotel hell."   Zak says no one was talking at this point, so "if this doesn't give you the proof of the afterlife, I don't know what does."  Many questions arise from that point, not least of which is, why would anyone want such an afterlife??  For starters.  Fourth floor EVP: "hey Zak."  Hey that sounds like Aaron, doesn't it??!!  It's his deep voice.  Zak recalls when they were here with the Constantinos and his name was said.

Zak gets Chris Fleming on the investigation.  He's been investigating at the hotel for 16 years.  He hands Zak a photo with Janice and the Constantinos and says they were sensing them inside the hotel.  Chris says the darkness grows as it's feeding off everything, all the deaths. Jeff is the new member and is an engineer, their new equipment tech.  Zak wants Chris to tell him who's calling his name.  What about Aaron's name?  Chris is affected in the same spot where Zak was and he feels sick.  They hear another voice with vibration.  An orb appears by Chris's head and then disappears by his mouth, into his mouth.  Eesh never leave your mouth open.  He says he can't think and it's at the same time the orb enters him.  He recalls the entity saying "breathe me in."  Last time he was here.  The entity speaks with rage that he's here.  Channelling through Chris: it says it needs to go home.  They've come into his home again and isn't acceptable.  It's angry at him for bringing them here.  Was this spirit going back to the first time they came to Goldfield.  Their capture in the basement put the place on the map and who knows how long this evil was lurking there.  Now people come to investigate and the hotel is undergoing renovations too.

Aaron says he put the camera on him and Billy says he knows it wasn't Aaron.  It jumped into Aaron and he attacked Billy.  Aaron couldn't breathe when he was outside.  Zak still feels the rage on Aaron and he doesn't want him going back in.  Chris says it wants them to turn against each other.  Zak hears a voice in room 109 where the camera is stationed.  To me it sounds like, "fuck, I can't do this."  It sounds like the same voice that said Aaron's name.  The one I said was Mark!  Then Zak asks if it's Mark and recalls he was standing next to Zak when they got that voice to "enter, sit."  The voice speaks through Chris saying, "I know."     

Zak uses the XLS camera now and a strange looking figure appears next to Chris and then holds onto him, like it's kneeling in front of him.  They use Chris's ITC device to communicate.  "Zak asks what they intend for them.  "Get out."  They like Chris's body to channel through.  Billy's heart races and pounds.  They ask where they should go.  That's a similar reaction Edward got feeling numb. Aaron sees a dark figure inside.  They get a voice "hey."  They say sounds like Mark.  Zak asks when his birthday is, "seventy seven."  Zak was born in 1977.  An anomaly is captured downstairs where the table was and vanishes into it.  That's where Chris channelled and Aaron was affected.  Chris says it's gone and enters Aaron, as he puts the camera down and he attacks Billy.  Picking him up with one hand.    

Zak says they're experiencing something they haven't felt before.  Aaron's behaviour he's never seen him like that before.  Then Billy felt it.  Zak mentions the exposed ground in the basement.  When Chris came down and he mentions the mountains and there's something in the ground "ground dwellers."  What is there feeds off of them.  Zak had a nightmare that one died in a car accident.  Jerry got a flash of his girlfriend in a car accident.  Aaron heard a noise and a lady was in a car accident, blocking them from the hotel exit.  Preventing them from coming to the Hotel.  

Zak says there was a tunnel going from the hotel to the Emporium and they had to block it off.  Many activities went on there during the prohibition era.  They go to the Emporium where they're experiencing demonic activity in the basement.  The owners said it was a child.  Billy hears metal moving in the basement.  Sherry speaks of a girl who was killed in the basement and was grabbed by the manager and killed her.  People have left flowers down there.  Reminded me of Anna at Preston Castle.  Wonder why Zak never returned there after his experience there?  Yes I have asked many times. 

Zak goes into the Goldfield basement with a jacket that Jeff has made for him with bodycams.  He's going to go alone.  As Jay investigates the Emporium basement.  Billy and Aaron decide on how long it is before Zak calls, so how long was it?  A sound is heard, sounds like whistling, almost.  The static camera at the Emporium shows a light anomaly which heads towards the flowers.  

Zak hears a knock on the wall and screams, running away, calling for help.  He can feel a spirit still holding on to him.  Aaron feels emotional again.  He never wants to come here again and they agree.  A loud noise is made where Zak and Aaron stand.  Billy gets a voice on the Polterpod: "it's time."  I hear "it's cunning."  Doesn't sound like a woman to me.  Zak mentions Chris told them about a time vortex.   A man's voice says "Mary."  Billy's mother's name, as Billy gets frustrated.

They enter the basement where they caught the activity in the original doco.  A voice says "Jerry Blackso, Blaxson"??  They use the Trackcam developed by Jeff.  They document some electromagnetic anomalies around him, three of them.   An anomaly is caught outside that is similar to what's happening inside.  The darkness, Zak says "has a personal vendetta against us."  This is their final chapter and as they "close the book, I feel lucky to have survived the Goldfield Hotel."  

My dream on the same day before I watched this ep.  Going into a lift with a friend and was meant to lead down to the station. Was a gaping hole on the side which I said would've ended up falling down and would've been dangerous to just leave it like that.  Got into lift and the blokes decided not to get in, leaving us, the women, on our own with two strangers.  Anything could've happened??  When we got down, everything was dark and there wasn't anything in the tunnels, just debris.  Hmm wonder what prompted this?

Ghost Adventures "Carbon County Chaos"

Zak likes driving into an old town in the middle of nowhere and is approached by the Mayor for help.  With paranormal activity in buildings in Helper, Utah.  Also visited by Butch Cassidy.  There is dark activity in the town with residents being attacked.  The Mayor has places for them to investigate.  Lenise Peterman tells him they're doing restoration but the activity has always been around.  They're investigating the Gateway bowling alley, a theatre previously and the Kiva Club with it being a club with illegal activities.  The bowling alley has had apparition sightings.  Linda, the owner, was attacked by a tray being thrown to the back of the head in the kitchen.  She's also seen a spirit in the stairs.  The spirits are familiar with her.  Mark has seen apparitions in the building and that of a little girl in the doorway.  Dresses in a yellow dress.  They don't get any evidence.  They both saw some light come out of one of the lanes and ended up at the other side of the building.

Zak finds it's gotten colder and the meter reading increases.  Zak records and captures a voice.  Sure it says "pins and needles" as he makes a joke about being on "pins and needles" and the voice repeats it or mimics him back.  When he plays it back he says pins and needles afterwards, but it appears to be already captured before Zak says it???  Unless it's played that way.  Did the spirit read his mind, ha.  Zak thinks it may have been a warning stemming from the darker history of the place.  One of her bowlers told Linda that a boy and a girl were killed in the canyon and the girl had her funeral here.  By the stage and her name was Olive.  The stage was by the bowling pins.  Zak tries to get some candy for Olive and manages to get a mini sized one!  He leaves her the candy by the door.

They then go to the Keeva Club building.  He likens it to the Washoe Club in Nevada.  Where they had illegal drinking, prostitution.  Zak feels the negativity here.  He says something touched his head.  Bennett, an investigator had a negative experience here.  A grunting noise is heard.  Voices are heard from the upper floor which is meant to be empty.  She says she saw a seven foot shadow figure and something grabbed Mark's arm and an EVP was caught saying "get out now."  the meter reads 14, 12, 0 and suddenly drops before going up again.  Billy explains it's transient.  Aaron needs to leave and walks out to the lake.  He needed to get out.  Billy feels gut punched and a red mark is visible on his body.

A construction worker tells them they found some bones where Zak felt dark energy just before.  Zak wanted to go into the small opening and make a circle and make their energy as one.  Vincent joins them and he tipped them to this location.  Vincent hears something behind me and a light anomaly is seen.  He thinks Aaron came at him.  Zak conducts an EVP session.  Another anomaly appears behind Vincent's head.  A light anomaly goes near Aaron as he touches his head.  Billy says he heard something scream and how many are there, he heard "we are legion."  We know what legion means as they've come across it many times in the show.  A light anomaly goes out of Vincent's head.  He leaves.  Zak uses the spirit box and Mark says they have to give it permission to speak.  A voice comes through saying "Vincent."  

Billy and Jay go back in with the SLS and Zak and Aaron watch from the car, felling tired.  Jay sees something glowing in front of him and they hear footsteps from upstairs.  Caught on the X camera.  But the building is empty.  Something is thrown at Jay.   "Unholy, Do Run" comes through on the Ovilus. They just hear noises from behind the camera.  As Jay moves from where he's standing, Billy catches a glimpse of a figure.  Was that the "unholy" that came through.  Zak says the energy is different here.  They use a Lydar device similar to a radar system.  Which maps them all out.  Aaron sees a shadow by the door.  Apparently the seven foot figure moves from place to place and is transient as they say.  Billy feels like he's poked by a needle on his shoulder.  Jay sees an anomaly on Lydar.  Zak captures a heat signature by the bowling pins machinery.  It was white as if it's human and don't know why it's showing that colour.  The building is empty.   

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?  

Ghost Adventures "The Great Saltair Curse"

 The Great Salt Lake, Utah.  Where "the echoes of the past" reached out to Zak to investigate here.  He feels like being isolated and the waters are "mysterious" as not much can live.  The Saltair is a venue in its third "reincarnation" and is a venue for events.  The Saltair underwent three fires and the venue was burnt down in the '70's.  Seen in the film Carnival of Souls.  There was a third attempt when the Saltair was taken over by the waters.  Today is a music venue.  Maile tells him about Saltair Sally whose remains were found there.  There were other bodies discovered in the general area of the property.  She talks of the green room and here she hears voices and the temperature drops.  He feels aggression and she describes the same.  Zak gets a red area on his arm, which gets darker, were they scratches, two.  Jay notices an anomaly by Zak and it enters the Ladies.  But heck man why there, it wasn't Saltair Sally of course.  He mentioned her, but he didn't say if she haunts the area or the building??  They hear a voice but I didn't hear anything.  Jay mentions the myth about the lake where water babies lure people into the water to meet their demise.  but they're not children.

The staircase where Vincent fell down.  He says he was pushed and his eyes look large and protruding.  The Ovilus turned on and he couldn't stop himself from falling.  Billy sees an illumination in the window which is caught on camera.  Zak calls it a 'figure'.  Zak sends Billy inside.  Brandon, the manager, has seen a lot of hauntings.  He mentions seeing a child and when they went outside there was nothing there.  Billy uses the Polterpod and captures voices.  Aaron thinks the mist on the Polaroid photos is changing shape.   Which Zak leaves as "unexplained."  

There does appear to a face on the right.  But what about on the left where there seems to be an actual real life-like face??!!

Downstairs Billy captures "Vincent" on the Polterpod.  When they play back the voices to Zak when he says for the viewers to decipher what they're saying:

I hear "go with us" but could be "adventures."

"We can get a fix."

Jay takes the cart of equipment to the edge of the lake.  Jay uses a parabolic microphone.  He hears something in the water.  Jay calls them to say he saw something large come in and out of the water.  Nothing is caught visually, leaving the question of what made the noise in the mic. 

They hear noises from the ceiling.  They can't confirm if it's paranormal.  Zak walks on the stairs where Vincent was pushed/fell.  Zak provokes and says he hears a voice saying "get out."  When Aaron hears a door close.  They start to panic and feel as though people are around them.  Zak returns to the dressing rooms and set up an X camera beforehand.  Feeling negative energy there.  He feels something walked behind him when he films into the mirror.  He catches a floating anomaly in the mirror using the XLS.  Zak spots a green anomaly going through Aaron and then becomes a figure hovering over his head.  They go to where the figure by the circular window was captured.  DASANC device is used by Zak.  A female voice comes through says "trying" and then says "I just did."  After Zak asks it to speak again and a male voice asks, "how?"  The female voice speaks three words.  The device is thrown from the catwalk doorway but can't say if it's paranormal.  Where Billy sets up an X cam.  An anomaly grabs the handle.

When I watch this ep properly, I'll add more to this!   Okay so watched and not much to add so I didn't miss anything.

Ghost Adventures "Cecil Hotel"

 

Part 1 

Elisa Lam whose death was hailed as "accidental" by the LA County coroner, was changed and then changed back to accidental again, stayed in one of the rooms and her roommates booted her out cos they found her behaviour annoying.  Who needs roomates like that.  She was also bipolar.  Lift/elevator camera footage shows her acting erratically in there as though she may be hiding from someone, or confronting them and without anyone actually being seen.  Which could have been something paranormal.  She was found in the water tank on the roof of the hotel after guests reported problems with the water supply.  But the lids are heavy and couldn't have been lifted by her.  Although it has been said they were left open.  She could have accessed the roof via the fire escape as one Chinese user had posted a video of this being a possibility.  Her clothes were found beside her and it was unusual since why would she go all the way to the tower, climb the ladder and throw herself in.  And closing the lid. Whereas all the other suicides at the hotel involved people throwing themselves from the windows. 

There was a "sand-like particulate" found but if she was murdered first and thrown into the tank her lungs would not have taken the water in, unless she was still alive when the body entered the water.  A lot of discrepancies in the autopsy.  Also her phone wasn't found. Patrick, a former LA crime scene photographer, could not remain in the building when taking Zak around the hotel. 

Richard Ramiriz stayed at the hotel in 1985. Zak posits his devil worshipping rituals could have opened up a nest of demonic infestation.  Zak mentions the Korean Elevator Game and whether Elisa was playing this.  He plays it himself and he does what he isn't supposed to do as he doesn't read the instructions in advance.  Here he feels something ice cold.  The lift goes to the seventh floor without any button being pushed.  He feels panicked and the presence of unseen people around him.  

Zak got Michael and Marti to investigate and Michael was taken to the water tower where he felt a presence and that there was a pentagram.  Michael feels like someone put her there and she was dead before she went into the water.  He doesn't know if it was paranormal or not.  Marti sketched in Ramiriz's room, sketching three people.  Zak mentions names of people who died in the hotel.  

Zak unbeknownst to them placed two paintings of Ramiriz in the closet without telling them.  Michael calling Marti "killer" when he enters the room where she was sitting.  He takes them to Elisa's room and Michael says Richard says hello to him.  Zak also gets a scratch on his neck that Jay sees forming in real time and a bump by his eye, as though he had been punched or scratched. 

They hear disembodied voices as they head to investigate the 14th floor.  Zak talks to Elisa and tells other spirits to keep away.  He uses the Polterpod.  Telling the spirits to use their bodies and energy to communicate.  I didn't hear "Mia," I hear "I am here."  Also she says something like I was here?? when the male voice says her name "Elisa Lam."  Why would a male spirit say her name??  just curious since we hear a female voice too which is overtaken by the male voice. Her killer??

14th floor Rimiriz's room is investigated which some people could've affected Elisa.  A hissing noise is heard.  Aaron acts strangely and hears screams and noises the others don't.  The voices try to lead him away from them.  The paintings are removed and light anomalies are caught near Aaron's head. 

 Zak playing the Elevator Game originating from Korea, where it tells them not to interact with the woman entering floor 7, but he doesn't that as he hasn't read ahead.  (See above) But the lift kept going to floor 7 with Jay when he didn't even press the button.  Also with Zak too earlier.   Something touches Zak's hair.  Aaron asks if he likes the drawings and then says "thank."  Jay talks of blank spots on the camera and Zak takes the SLS camera to investigate.  The lift door opens and a figure stands by the door.  Which Zak says was also in the lift when he played the game.  

Jay tries to make contact with the figure and the lift opens next to him.   Aaron gets a response on the spirit box  SB7.  Zak hears a male voice, I hear "up."  He takes a photo and the man gets closer to him, a dark shadow.  Jay hits all the buttons in the lift.  He goes to floor 7 when he pressed 15.  A female voice says "hey" and I don't hear "is this Elisa."  Billy gets "presence."  Who killed Elisa? "Being."  What happened to Billy asking her to come with him, did that happen?? 

Billy gets "friend" on the Paranormal Puck 2.  It wants the "living"  "female."  He doesn't feel it's friendly.  "Me" wants a living woman for himself.  Zak states they were all annoyed with each other.  Police sirens are heard outside every 30 seconds.  There's evil in the building and it stays in there, messing with them psychologically. 

They have investigated elevators before re Aaron in the ep with that dark mass in the next room.

Cool Hunter the 2006 episode of CSI:NY had a woman's body found in the water tower of her apartment building.  Based on Dark Water which itself was based on real events where a woman's rotting body was discovered after being in there a week, whilst the residents used water from the tower.  Eerily this could be a foreshadowing of Elisa's own tragic death in 2013.

Part 2 

The Great Depression led the hotel into darkness and 18 deaths have been known here.  The Black Dahlia was seen at the bar three days before her death.  Scott Michaels, historian, takes them to the rooms.  704 was Helen Gurney's room.  She threw herself out of the window.  Zak feels the emotion from the deaths and how they have grown over the years.  Aaron takes readings on the Trimeter and Polaroid photos.  712 was Jack Untervege's room.  Obsessed with Rimiriz.  He hanged himself in prison.  Dorothy Purcell was in labour and giving birth, she threw the baby out of the window.  She was described as "temporarily insane."  Across from this room, Rimiriz had his room in later years.  

"Learn Pushed Pray Fire Arrived" are captured and a spirit leading Aaron to the fire escape where it was pushed.  Also the pounding on the door capture is what spooked Billy when he was in Goldie's room, Aaron, 'help me' could have been the spirit directing him to the fire escape??  Or was it one of Untervege's potential victims, but he was the only one who made contact with it, even though he killed the women in the room.  Billy gets Jack again when he asks who are you? on the Paranormal Puck 2.  

Z gets a possible poltergeist opening the tap in J's room.  As well as a voice on the APF device saying "Jack."  I heard "I'll be Jack."  SO how did Jack get into the US if he had already been convicted of murder in Austria as he would've had a criminal record, multiple convictions; even though he initially got in as a reporter for a story.  Still he shouldn't have been allowed in.  He killed three prostitutes and was convicted in Austria of murder when he returned.  He hanged himself in prison.  He had travelled to the hotel and stayed there in an attempt to emulate Ramiriz.  

Patti in the room senses the spirit of someone who jumped from the window as she opens the window in his room and doesn't know why she did that.  As well as sensing Goldie being attacked/raped, as well.  In Jack's room Zak asks who she was and hears "your mom."  Was there a dark figure outside of the room when he hears a noise outside.   There appeared to be something moving by the door at the far end of the hall, or was it the camera frames??  Aaron gets a twisty mist coming from the mirror when he sets up the experiment in the hallway with the two mirrors facing each other.  Did he construct a portal for the spirit to enter.  Light anomalies are picked up going into the LA hat and one goes into the Polterpod as he asks about her.

Patrick Langdon takes them into the various rooms and tells them about the suicides/murders in various rooms including the countless number of suicides.  Why choose a hotel to commit suicide in or was it something else that attracted them there.  The hotel didn't have a 13th floor?? as there wasn't a number on the lift button and when Jay was going through all the floors.  Zak hates lifts - does that stem from his experience at the Jerome Grand Hotel?? or has he always had it.

That shadow figure Zak captured near one of the rooms whilst investigating on his own was so apparent, you could make out the outline in a profile-like manner.  It came so close. 

Jay hears a crashing sound in the basement when they haven't investigated before.

That black mass/stain on the floor near Patti was ominous - did she feel something then and let's not forget the creepy apparition figure, that looked like a real man!!  At first I thought it was an actual man wearing a mask, he does look like he has one on though and that bald head, uh oh not a doppelganger for Aaron and also Aaron's name is the only name said out of all of them.  (Just a thought.) 

The Black Dahlia was also mentioned as she was allegedly seen drinking at the hotel bar in 1947, before her unsolved murder.  Even Goldie 'Pidgeon' Osgood's murder remains unsolved.   Best known for the serial killer, Richard Ramirez who engaged in satanic activity.  

Heck had this in my drafts for 6 months!!  WTH! 

Ghost Adventures "Lost Souls of the Berkeley"

The Berkeley steamship 1898 where multiple suicides took place, a murder and the victims of the San Francisco earthquake were ferried on.  The caretaker has seen spirits and also something dark lurking in the bottom of the ship.  The Berkeley was a ferry operating between San Francisco and Oakland.  They had the chance to investigate as its empty due to lockdown.  Zak mentions the film Ghost Ship and how the spirits came alive and the ship came to life.  A loud banging sound is heard, and also a voice, or was it an animal??  which is confirmed by Jim, the caretaker.  Hearing noises on the upper dark like furniture or a trunk.  He tells Zak they'll hear a conversation on the upper deck of the ship.  

13th January 1911, a mining engineer had nitro glycerine in his pocket and it exploded.  He appeared to be in a meditation.  January 1903 a man commits suicide due to unrequited love.  January 1908, a man jumps from the stern.  Was there something about that month.  The man in a Fedora has been seen as well.  A full embodied figure has always been seen, Jesus probably saw the Fedora man.  The Trifield jumps with EMF spikes.  They get a response "cake"  when asked what he's looking for.  The engine room is the most active and here Zak feels a cold presence and also a sharp pain in his back.  The engine room is where the greatest activity occurs.  Zak felt like all his clothes vanished and he was at Eastern State Penitentiary and the guards poured ice cold water on him.  He was sure something passed through him. 

Aaron and Billy in the engine room and in the same place, nothing came through on the Polterpod and a voice sounds like "let ya feel it."  Feel sounds like see??  Aaron felt freezing cold in the same place Zak did.  Pistol shrimp can be heard feeding in the water which was the popping sound.  Zak hears a woman's voice and people are heard walking around.  Was it residual?? A moaning is heard but the camera doesn't capture it.  "Kill" is also heard.  I heard "kissin'" as well.  Where the voices came through, compasses were contained inside and when opened, the activity stops.  An EVP on the recorder comes through: a shrill scream.  Any connection with the voice saying "kill."  Or the man jumping overboard.  The sound was captured when Billy was talking about the first moan they heard.  

Jay hears a voice, maybe saying "hello" and a coughing/deep breath sound in the boiler room.  Zak opens the water tight door as Billy tells him to do it.  He uses the DAS-ANC and a voice comes through, sounds like "show path"??  Both Zak and Aaron are drained of energy.  Zak has back pain again.  Jay tells him about the coal being shovelled there, same as what my sister said.  He climbs onto the catwalk and captures a stick figure.  Which then vanishes.  Can you hear us is asked and "heard" shows up on the Ovilus and a light anomaly shows up near Zak.  Aaron is sent to the ladies but we don't know if he got anything at all.  

Jay heads to the cafeteria and feels something on his hair, as a ball of light is seen behind him.  An anomaly is seen near the devices and Billy's camera battery is drained.  Jay says it's quiet and then something is heard to drop or is thrown.  

Funny in the Benson Grist Mil ep they heard bicycle, as my nephew just got one that same week and in this we just made cake and they get the EVP saying "cake"  yikes what kind of synchronicity was that?  Ha!

Ghost Adventures "Benson Grist Mill"

The mill was built by Brigham Young and all Aaron wanted to do was to hunt the giftshop.  Dark shadows and other entities have been seen.  As well as the death of a child, Irene Alice Solomon who went missing and was found drowned in the reservoir: now known as the Millpond.  Aaron finds the store and goes wild in there.  Well we all recall Zak did the same in the candy store at the Sacramento Tunnels.  Aaron is sent to the school where he's told about chalk being seen thrown.  Inside the original mill, the water still flows under it acting as a conductor of energy.  As Zak says ironically where Alice drowned thus her spirit is still there.  Zak thinks it could be Alice causing the mayhem in the school. 

In the Booth barn they mention a dark shadow being seen.  Built by Hyram Booth and he thinks it could be his spirit.  

Zak meets Zack and really messes around here with the names.  Zack was using the spirit box and he heard footsteps above them.  A big man in black and Zack followed him up the stairs and didn't find him.  Zak tells them about water turbines and is actually reading off the info on the wall.  Inside the mill they hear a voice, a male who sounds like "hello" or "hey."   Aaron conducts a recording session with Zack.  

Zak maps out what they will be doing during the night and where they'll be investigating.  Jay is sent to the Booth barn on his own.  The three investigate the mill.  Using trigger objects in the school.   In the school they use a draughts/chequers board and they hear a sound.  Aaron thinks he saw a dark figure outside the school.  They see a stick on the bridge which wasn't there before.  Jay asks whose barn is this and the Ovilus comes up with Family.  In the Benson Grist Mill,  in the basement, the water can be seen under them and Zak hears a door creak open.  Also hearing an unexplained noise.  Capturing a class A EVP saying "bicycle."  Jay provokes a spirit and a loud knocking/stomping makes him fall from his chair.  Aaron's battery is drained 75% when he was by the door and the EVP was caught.

They catch a mist-like mass across the room on the static camera.  Zak uses a DASAMC with an audio spectrum display and an SB7, so no feedback is heard.  The male voice sounds like "God help me."  Zak asks why it said bicycle.  The voice doesn't sound like he says "was thinking about it."  Billy feels touched and an anomaly manifests behind him.  Another light anomaly is seen beneath Billy's feet.  Aaron uses the portal device and gets a girl's voice: "they'll kill me."  No there aren't three words.  It's a word with two syllables: "bottle"??  Makes me wonder what they actually playback or what they think they hear.  They've done this a lot in the past where what they say sounds nothing like what they say it is.  

Ghost Adventures "Mayhem in MiIlville"

Millville, Utah investigating one of the oldest homes there.  Zak feels uneasy abut this place and says he felt this way in Gary, Indiana investigating the Demon House.  The house, snow and what was going on resembled that same case.  Attacks taking place for 70 years.  He mentions the Mormons and polygamy but it still continues, even though they had to renounce it.  Cindy Lou, a descendant of the polygamist Jessop family believes a male spirit is wreaking havoc on her.  She wanted to know who he is, why he's here.  The house was built in 1906.  Her grandmother had experiences in this house.  She's never been in the attic, so didn't they investigate there.   Since she moved in, everything has increased darkly.  Her ex husband was involved in a DUI and he killed someone.  Since he left she says the activity affected her.  Her mother was also killed in a car accident.

Zak senses the fear around him and he feels uneasy during their next interview.  Steve, a tenant felt something evil in the basement.  He thinks James was possessed in the basement.  He only saw a black mass and just saw his eyes and mouth.  James didn't recall the incident.  Zak believes it is feeding on James's energy.  Billy and Aaron investigate.  Aaron takes Polaroids.  Heather is pushed by an unseen entity.  She hasn't been touched before.  She and James saw a dark figure in the living room.  Heather gets a headache again, as Billy feels the same slightly on his temples.  A voice saying "out" is heard.  James arrives and is affected immediately.  Zak warns them to watch out for him.   James uses an app to communicate.  He had thoughts about killing the people in the house.  Steve mentions the spirit box James has and it has mentioned their names.  They've been communicating using it.  Billy says when they communicate they open themselves up to entities.

Cindy mentions the child's and woman's shoes found in the grounds.  Also the closet door that was nailed shut by her grandmother.  Billy suggests there might be something in there.  This is shown by a Polaroid Aaron took, there's a large light manifesting from the door of the closet.  Also a long, snake-like anomaly by the room door.  Aaron looks through the window and it hasn't been entered for years.  Jay mentions the deadliest Native American massacre that took place here.  Zak gets the dark vibe.  Zak suffers from a respiratory tract disorder and sits in at nerve centre and investigates from outside.  James texts 20 times in an hour that they shouldn't go inside.  

Ovilus: "evil, cent, table" where Zak is sitting.  "Let God Like" when Zak asks if he likes Jesus.  Zak: " give us the name of something you want."  "Student James Southern" comes through on the Ovilus.   Aaron hears something moving outside and Zak using the thermal captures an unusual figure by the door.  A kind of evil pixie.  "Abort Unholy Chills" and Aaron says he felt chills.  Zak uses a new spirit box designed by Gary Galka.   Aaron and Billy feel cold and an anomaly jumps from him to Billy.  An anomaly goes from around Aaron to Billy again and he reacts.  As they receive a voice after Billy asks what its name is.  Sounds like "I don't know" but will have to listen with headphones.   Something touches Aaron's arm and he runs out.  Aaron is sent to the basement alone.  Aaron's name comes through the device in the basement.  Jay uses the XLS and he picks up a figure touching Billy wanting to stop Aaron coming out of the basement.  Zak says they'll do whatever they can to help this family.  

That house was creepy as it is, I generally don't like houses like that and where was the attic??  Also it was eerily similar to the Demon House and as luck, or bad luck would have it, Zak is stricken physically again, even before investigating.  Was this a way to keep him out as it knew he could manipulate Aaron more than Zak and have him under its power.  Perhaps in the same way James is affected.  As for that figure/entity on the thermal, it was something smallish and when they find something like that it always reminds me of Aaron's experience with that dark shadow figure in 6.10 Hales Bar Marina and Dam episode.  What about the shoes found, were they just discarded, did something happen on the land, or were they part of some ritual??  This one had a lot of unanswered questions.  

Ghost Adventures "Joshua Tree Inn"

Joshua Tree - why does that name sound so familiar?? and not cos of the Bible story.

The Joshua Tree Inn, California.  Where the staff do not tread and guests are loathed to stay.  Where have I heard that before, oh many episodes.  I wonder who'd want to stay here, those rooms were so dingy!  & heck not even any take out.  What happened to the GA RV now??  Gram Parsons was a country singer who wanted to be a rock star in the same vein as The Rolling Stones.  He and Keith Richards were close friends in their 'lifestyles' and music.  Gram died in room 8 due to an OD.  Deedee tells Zak of the two women having the same dream in room 8 about Gram entering their dreams.  Destiny tells Zak of room 12,2 and the other rooms and she won't go in room 12 alone, there's something in the closet.  The Trifield goes off even before Billy and Aaron went into the room.  The needle moves on cue when Billy asks it to.

Phil Kaufman, road manager and friend, stole Gram's body as he wanted to be free there.  So he was burnt at Cap Rock.  Everyone knew what he did and he was charged with grand theft.  Zak and Billy decided to stay here and Zak sees a dark figure in his room which he said resembled the "Hail Mary."  Though from his sketch it resembled more of  a body in a coffin!!  Jay and Aaron head back to the hotel and live it up to the chagrin of Zak and Billy!  Before Zak mentioned room 11 I mentioned room 11 at the Silver Queen Hotel where he made contact with Lynette, who killed herself in the bath tub.  Where he made fun of her the first time he was there.  Thus the tattoo of 11 on his arm.  He also mentions Hotel Leger and room 11.  They spot a dark figure walking behind Deedee as she talks of the man who had a "sexual encounter" with a spirit in his room, next door to Zak's room.  Okay Zak, we get it you have to sleep in the room where you saw the figure.  No need to keep going on about it.  Also not the first time he's spent a night in a haunted room either!! 

A comedy vignette follows of them in their rooms/hotel.  Zak hears a bang.  Billy also hears a bird against his window as he describes it.  Then some tapping.  All very Wuthering Heights.  If that room was cold and it was cold generally anyway, why no shirt, 'ey, 'ey?  He mentions their doors opening at the same time.  They bring in Loren Gray to investigate with them.  Okay so if you're pretty much 'famous' you can get into the show compared to the rest of us plebs!  They talk of music and Zak gets emotional and begins to cry.  Hey funny, I haven't heard any of his songs before, but when they played that song, my mind was singing the words to it even before hearing what would come up.  Hmm!!  

Zak uses the Polterpod and he hears "yeah" when he asks if Gram can hear him.  I hear "bys/buys the people" not "lots of."  He asks what room he died in and "room 8" comes back.  I don't hear "I said room 8;" but "listen to me."  The voice sounds a little like Zak!  They play his music again and the Trifield Meter needle moves everytime they talk about him and his music.  

Loren, Billy and Aaron investigate room 12.  She doesn't go into the kitchen.  A coffee pot falls in the kitchen, or is pushed, they put it down to poltergeist activity.  In the closet Loren hears a clicking sound, the hangers, but she wasn't standing near them.  Also an anomaly moves behind her near the hangers.  As well as Billy catching an unusual anomaly in the room.  Wanted to see what would happen if she stayed in room 12 by herself.  Her watch goes off and they finish investigating.  

Ghost Adventures "Disturbed in Wickenburg"

Flashback to the good old days of GA when Zak still had his mesmerizing voice.  Vulture Mine ten years ago in the investigation and came across the 30 year storm and flash flooding.  They returned since at a paranormal event, two people were affected and went to hospital  The mining has started again and the Native American believe a dark, ancient curse has been released.  1863 Henry Wickenburg founded the mine and the population exploded.  Stealing was commonplace and some miners came to take some gold off the walls causing them to cave in and they all died there.  So where was Billy?

Jay and Marie were the hosts of a paranormal conference last year.  Marie was in pain and felt a fist in her gut.  She was being possessed.  The doctors couldn't find anything wrong.  Another woman also felt like she was having a heart attack and Zak mentions the tree.  Victoria was at the tree taking the dog out and her dog wouldn't let her go near the tree.  He still did that now.  In the Assay building on the stairs she felt nauseous and even now her dog wouldn't let her go up either and she had to leave the building again.  Members of the Navajo Tribe speak of the land being sacred and burying the evil in the land which is now being disrupted.  There are monsters and "giants" no longer around as their darkness and evil was buried.  When their land was invaded and the Tribe killed, there weren't anymore humans to do the ceremony and the darkness was released.  

They carried out a ceremony and Zak catches a shadow figure in the corner behind them.  He describes it as holding a gun.  The deeper "no" sounded like "hello."  At the bunkhouse using a sacred mask, Zak's glasses are referred to and he tells them they're prism glasses and the spirits sense the crystal.  Also that he has powers to see the spirit world.  Zak has to leave.  During their investigation they used Jeff's equipment, a sort of more advanced version of the SLS: the XLS camera.   With this Zak picks up a massive, giant figure and then the camera malfunctions.  Aaron brings out the rock they collected last time and puts it on the table.  The small figure then becomes a giant again and Jay feels it go through him.  Then asks it to come to the table and it momentarily does so.

Then Zak feels something on his back and a red mark is on the side of his shoulder at the back.  The recorder says it was recording but the light wasn't on.  SO we mess around with the recorder for a while.  EVPs are captured on the recorder.  There were footsteps downstairs but also sounded like something being moved.  An anomaly is caught downstairs.  The voice that says "can you find anything quietly" feels like they were searching for something to steal and thus the footsteps downstairs.  Wish they just'd just let you listen to the EVPs for a second or two.  

Jay and Aaron use the Polterpod in the bordello and Jay feels a hand brush down his back.  Jay says he robbed a bank and he's got money.  Sounds like "Hope" on the Polterpod.  Something is thrown in the kitchen.  A bit of a hit and miss episode, the shadow figure captured was good as was the giant, but the rest seemed not as interesting as it could have been.

Ghost Adventures "Curse of Ranch Island"

 Seven miles south of the Las Vegas Strip

Zak et al investigate a compound, where the people living together are going through hauntings.  When the current owner's friend committed suicide there last year, that's when they said that the activity increased.  Adam the owner, says he doesn't want to acknowledge the activity here as he doesn't want to chance fate.  That way he won't be affected by it.  There are ten people living there.  Adam says he doesn't have any experiences.  His friend hanged himself around 4am and he doesn't know why he killed himself in this place.  Investigated where he hanged himself,  Marieya takes them to a room where she was staying and she woke to find someone standing over her.  She felt drained and knew she had to conserve her energy.  She takes the digital recorder and a voice is recorded on there.  Sounds like: "this is me, I'm watching..."  It's very rough, aggressive sounding.  The "me" could be a name.  However this doesn't mean it's the man who hanged himself.  She knows of one other spirit here.  That room was dingy and small, reminded me of the Cecil Hotel rooms. 

Abby had an encounter with a man who she thinks could have been the original owner, John.  In the original home, where Adam lives, Kamila shows her old room, which doesn't have windows and she put a security camera up before she went to Europe.  The photo showed a light coming out of the mirror.  The same night, their friend hanged himself hours later.  She also thinks she has seen the entity a "grey leg" going into the  wall of the main house.  She believes this house is haunted and believes Adam is being affected by the energy.  Aaron and Billy's Polaroids show a blue light, similar to the one in Kamila's photo but blue.  Zak left the house cos of his experiences there.  Britni, a psychic medium, tells them she felt their friend on the stairs leading to the roof where they can see the entire ranch.  She also had a Tarot card reading, The Hanged Man, which she also said was a warning for Zak.  The card representing "being stuck" and the entity wants someone else to feel it, which Zak is doing.  

They also capture something blue on the stairs.  Using the Polterpod they get some voices.  "Got it."  "Medium."  "Hate."  "Careful."  Zak says he felt light headed and panicked and so left.   They use the Tesla Coil in a circle with wires and see if they can charge up the energy from his death.  Zak puts the recorder on the beam and feels a bolt of emotion hitting him and feels like he wants to cry.  An anomaly shoots away behind Billy.  Zak reenacted the suicide when he got up on the stool.  He recalls having the same feelings with the mummy's foot at Ripley's.  Cool air surrounds him.  A voice says "I'm coming" and they feel something rush on them and Jay feels something pushing down on him.  On the SLS Zak captures a figure which appears to be struggling and writhing in pain, right where the rope was.  Appeared to be the man hanging himself.  Zak says "go to the house" in a deep voice.  Billy captures a stick figure next to Aaron which then vanishes. 

Jay is left in another part of a building and they hear banging sounds.  Jay hears scratching when he asks if the name of the owner is known.  Doesn't sound like scratching, scratching.  At the house, Zak captures a figure on the camera taking full spectrum photos!!  One reason why he probably said to go to the house.  After any attempts at debunking,  they find it could have been the same figure Kamila must've seen.  

In the pic circled looks like there's a creepy face there, or two.  Looking back at that figure doesn't it remind you of Zak from the back without his hat.  Don't know why I thought of that, just everything was affecting him and no one else, physically and emotionally and the Tarot card too was a warning for him.  

Also I said that they should turn the lights off, when debunking since that's how he caught the figure. Which he does!!  Zak goes up the stairs where they caught the mist and he steps back saying he heard a screeching sound and pictured a witch with grey, straggly hair.  Wonder if this had anything to do with the scratching sound Jay heard. 

Ghost Adventures "House of Brujeria"

Las Vegas again, where they investigated an entity inside a woman's house who is determined to kill her.  Putting off another investigation in California to do so.  They preferred to stay nameless and were beside themselves with fear and panic.   Zak goes into the house with a Crucifix in his hand and what could be a potentially demonic investigation.  The mother reacts as the daughter cries and Zak reacts negatively.  She speaks and cries as something is in the room.  Aaron's heart rate increases.  Zak religiously provokes.  Something is telling the mother to kill herself and she doesn't want her daughter to know.  The mother has asthma and as she was leaving to get help, she heard a voice saying to tell her husband she was going out.  She found him dead.  She knows the entity was behind her husband's death.

Her daughter knows something negative is affecting her mother.  They have rent their rooms out with addicts and a murderer there, as well as a woman who had a shrine to her dead son who killed himself.  As well as storing his ashes there.  Their relatives practise brujeria. She thinks a spell has been placed on her mother and they have been in their house.  The daughter's son saw two black masses by the window and piano.  Brujeria is "a manifestation of evil."  Casting spells to bring about bad luck and death.  It pays to watch scripted shows since this was the focus of  Constantine - the TV series episodes.  But even aside from that, I have heard of it before.  

Billy and Aaron did an investigation overnight and Billy heard a voice.  Sounding like a groan and the directional mike was pointed at the piano.  As well as hearing a loud knock in the kitchen. Where the dolls are stored but they film a glowing light in the glass of the case.  The noise sounds like a cat.  Zak speaks with Bri about brujeria.  She tells them to place seven glasses of ammonia in cold water in every room and left for three days and the jars can be disposed off at a crossroads.  So did they actually do this.  Bri also said they should, the mother should, put the St Benedict medal and holy water.  Zak tells them of his attachment and how the prayer helped him.  He wants the mother to read the prayer whilst looking at the sky but still within the house.  So what happened with that too, not being overtly nosy, more curious to see of it worked or not.

Zak sees a green light in the centre of the bed.  I don't hear "closet" through the Polterpod, sounds more like "pulses"??  When asked his wife's name, replies "listen."  Also says there are fifteen spirits here.  Sounds like fifty?? Portal in house: "think so."  "That kid" brought the dark spirits to the house. The portal is located "at home."  The voice says he's feeling "distressed" not "stressed."  Zak hears a dog which isn't picked up on camera.  They feel cold air around them as they head into the basement.  A light anomaly is seen when the cold air is present.  The SLS picks up an entity behind the basement door which is freaky as the basement door closes by itself.  It is actually pushed shut and then opens. 

Jay hears what he thinks is a child crying but it sounded like that cat sound again from earlier.  Zak says "blood on my hands" and doesn't know why he said it.   He also hears whispering no one else does.  He sees what looks like a face when taking extended exposure photos.  

Highlighted in green there seems to be an actual human face here, but then if you look closely, there appear to be lots more faces, but the green one is far more distinct.  Could it be the dead son?  The photo shows a face, it looks so real.  As well as some sort of two-headed beast in yellow. 

When the door closes by itself doesn't there appear to be a dark shadow inside the room behind the room.  Or is it the door's shadow?? A light anomaly also appears by the door before it closes.  Something is heard inside the room.  Also the x camera moves in the upstairs bedroom. 

This appeared to be a puzzling episode in not much was sumerized regarding the glass jars and what happened and the name-less-ness didn't help much either. Also needs a follow up just to know how things are now, not a full episode maybe just a little side note.

Lost The Art of Staying Lost Book Two by Sakshi Narula Review

"Feelings of bleak euphoria, building on a high with so much emotion conveyed in every word.  Then falling  down to earth with a realistic thud."  - My words.

Lost The Art of Staying Lost Book Two transcends all the words and expressions you have ever read in other poetry. Conveyed with so much depth and feeling there's a real sense of loss, futile love that burned with golden embers.  Then fizzled out with a break up.  Parting, suddenly, going away.  Not so much as losing someone to death, or bereavement.  Although it could well be, but more betrayal. Betrayed by love, a lover.  Building up hope,of fulfillment and promise. A risky beginning, lasting for eternity only to have it shattered into a thousand shards.  

Uns demonstrates being love sick, the body behaving and mimicking the symptoms of bodily ailments which feel akin to having all your emotions and heart ripped. Replaced with emptiness.  Watching the world from the inside out whilst others are oblivious.  Seen also in Chenab "Nerves, skin, heart tongue and bones that ached for more so bad that I had forgotten I exist.  My jaws have been in pain..."

Love comes in all shapes, love of parents, love of children, loss too.  As well as a soul mate. That one true, pure love who will have the same feelings and love for you.  Then suddenly it's gone. Was it ever real.  

Healing poem made me think of loss, the loss of losing a father, mine.  Perhaps that wasn't the intention, being about a lover; but to me it spoke of heartfelt grief when life is cheated by unexpected death.  In many ways akin to the passing of love and all the enrichment it brings to our lives.  Providing a semblance, a brief segment of closure.

Octopus asks if those we have lost feel the same pain, or are we just a distant memory, a passing phase of the moon.  Do lovers just move on, carefree?  Questions not asked by me.  Since most of us don't want to waste our time on someone we can't have.  

Sakshi Narula writes from the heart, that much is true and has the marvellous and creative ability to paint pictures with her words.  You feel you are there in the moment of each impossible heartbeat and you can't do anything to rescue yourself  the inevitable.  

Interspersed with excellent artwork by that spatters the page akin to the ink from an octopus; with the vividness of a bleeding heart and mind.  A talented poet with a natural artistry to convey anguish with every sentence. Personal experiences and growing up in India give a sense of belonging.  As shown by To Bury A Love Story. 

Take a breath for more roller coaster rides. Interspersed with written notes providing a break from the deepness of each poem and a reprieve of being a solid, continuous chunk, with drawings, mirroring hope and darkness. In ink, ink blobs maybe to decipher our own darkness and limits to overcome.

I was mesmerized and absorbed in such beautiful and eloquent sentiments that I read in one sitting.  I'm sure everytime I re-read it will spark and invoke more reactions.  I enjoyed how the poems interweave into one another with vivid pictures of being so lost, heartbroken and having everything ripped, affecting the mind, body and soul equally.  The personification of love's misfortune is immensely lifelike.
