Death Walker 1.5 "Thought Form Entity"

Conducting another investigation see if locations have changed and if they affect him differently psychologically.  

Bobby Mackey's Music World  Bobby saw something move towards the door and the back door opened.  He walked to the stage and stood there and saw something moving that resembled a lady.  He was pondering whether he should buy it or not.  Probably appealing to him to buy the place.  It's become famous and the history fascinates Nick.  Bobby doesn't want to be anywhere else.  Nick feels there's not enough time for him to unravel things.  Nick came back to face his own fears.  His experiences in the past he felt immature and didn't know what was happening.  He says you have to walk in someone's shoes to know what they're feeling.  Plenty didn't know about this location and get to the core of what's happening here.  Nick vowed not to return when he was on GA and now he has evolved into a better investigator that has made him question the paranormal differently.

1896 Pearl Brian's body was found decapitated near the road.  Murdered by her boyfriend Scott Jackson, Alonzo Walling helped him carry out the abortion.  20th March 1897, they were both executed.  Why is this the most haunted nightclub in America?  After the Civil War was known as Gallows Gap and Finchtown, Kentucky, due to the lynchings.  Several reported seeing ghosts due to the accident at the Licking Bridge.  The slaughterhouse stood nearby and a distillery where Bobby Mackey's is now.  Tunnels pumped water into the building for distilling.  One tunnel is known as Hell's Gate.  Was a casino, speakeasy and a nightclub was built in the '20's.  Named the Primrose Club when Buck Brady bought it.  The mob changed name to The Latin Quarter.  Many murders took place here. The Hardrock Cafe opened in 1970's was closed in 1977.  Bought by Bobby.  Nick recalls the ball footage he caught on Paranormal Lockdown.   He can't explain what it is, whether it was from the energy of voices or manifestation of shadow figures.  Could it take on other forms?  He doesn't know.  

He asks for the apparition to walk through the hallway.  Hears footsteps.  Nick gets goosebumps.  Feels dizzy.  Nick feels the energy's shifted and the environment's changed.  Some sort of energy manifesting from all their stories.  It's scary.  There are things they don't fully understand, how they manifest and take shape, communicate in its own way.  If they keep interjecting into this environment but it's really not it.  That's the scary part.  He can hear walking.  Matt says he was fixing the pipes and he felt something lifted him and threw him back.  People have been scratched, pushed, pulled. Footsteps upstairs.  

"Two worlds colliding and twisting."  Energy changes Nick feels nervous of being in the darkness.  His intuition tells hims something doesn't feel right.  Footsteps towards the well.  Feels an energy there.  Runs the app through the speaker with phonetic words.  "Hail??"  

"Are they gone yet??"  'just like me. 'They scare us'.  "He stays in darkness."  "Yes." 

He asks to say his name.  "Nick" is heard.  There's lots of convo.  "Existence, fills resistance. See it."

"I'll resist."  Twice.  Nick hears knocking.  "Just voices."

"Look out Nick."

"No...

"I won't say anything...it looks...say no internet..."  I'm sure I heard Internet.  

Nick asks it to show yourself.   "I'm here."  Mentions Nick's family. 

The positive or negative, can manifest into either.  Mentions ball of energy again on the static night vision camera which was recorded for 8 minutes.  Hears a growl.  He feels connected which keeps bringing him back.

Is it hiding there?  Entity goes back to the darkest places, waits, builds energy find who comes here and takes their energy to scare them.  Nick's looking for it.  Alone in the dark.  He's going to wait for the energy.  Well room.  He tells it to use his energy. entity moving in building for a long time, fear of being alone.  "With the history, energy, his mind likes to take the energy and use thoughts and project fear and feed off it."

He has an "overwhelming feeling" makes him feel uneasy cos it could be here.  Hears it moving.  The first time he came he was scared and feared what was happening but coming back, researching, he "accepts what the entity is now, manifested into its own thing here and can understand how to document further, feeding off energy, thoughts projecting back, discover something new beyond the scope of the paranormal.  To learn instead of being afraid of it."  Use the energy from his min, psyche and grows powerful becomes something else whenever he comes back.  The place keeps drawing him back.  He met Matt and Bobby and "pulling back the history of locations and learning what's happening at the core of all the weird things."  Still asking questions from 10 years ago.  "Think harder, think something beyond dying, giving hope knowing when they die energy's lingering in different place or locations can create other energy not familiar with yet."

Virginia City mine discovered.  Miners, gunslingers, writers, businessmen came to Virginia City.  Where The Washoe Club was opened, rebuilt 1976.  Two secret exits used by those not wanting to be seen.  The bodies of dead miners would be stored in the crypt at the back of the club.  1873 reported a nitro explosion that killed people behind the club.  The Saloon remains open today.  He doesn't have a definitive answer who or what tried to communicate with him from the other side.  Nick mentions his journey again.  The walls could tell them a story and "it ripple effects outwards."  Looking into deaths and darkness.  There's nowhere to say who's haunting what.  You'd make that interaction.  If it's negative then can lead to attachments.  He gets scared by a dummy.

Nick sees if the thought form entity will arise and communicate.  Try experiment.  In minds communicate to whatever is here, picture person, an entity, draw person into the room.  Picture stairs, rooms and ask in your mind to come to ballroom.  

Geoport: voice heard:  "hallway."  Something moves??  "Exist".  

Nick is trying to figure out what happens when you die.  "What do you see??"  How many people are here? Nick asks "6, 7,8."

Sure I hear resistance?? or existence?? again here as well.

At the "two locations I wanted to find answers about the other side."  He's not alone something's different now.  Decade ago he saw how locations affected him. He came back to see how people overtime change a location, same foundations, walls stories but he's changed.  He leaves with more questions.  "This is only the beginning."  

"LIfe gives you exactly what you need to awaken." - T Scott McLeod.

"People living deeply have no fear of death." - Anais Nin

"If you want to find the secrets of the universe Look in terms of energy, frequency and vibration - Nikola Tesla 

What I liked about this season 1 was how Nick started searching from ep 1, coming to thought forms, stone tape theory, other people hauntings in other times and how each location led to these different things all culminating into Bobby Mackey's and the Washoe Club where he started out.  How the energy changes from location to location, even if the two locations are in the same vicinity and how he's into researching more and not just showing the location is haunted.  Which we already know.  Wonder why the spirits don't answer when he asks about the other side: where they are, what they are??  Have they been warned off not to give anything away.  As it's one way of finding out what is on the other side, afterlife etc.  But even if answers can/would be given how do we comprehend that.  How do we know to believe them or are they toying or tricking us into believing or sharing what we want to know.  Wishful thinking.   Can people influence the haunting of a location of enough people believe and end up causing some other entity to come in and take it over.  Can they lead to a place, not previously haunted, becoming haunted by spreading stories in the same way?  No answers thus far...

Doctor Who 13.1 "The Halloween Apocalypse"


Series 13 kicks off with the Doctor (Jodie Whittaker) and Yaz (Mandip Gill) in trouble as they are suspended from some sort of big stick (which resembles a broomstick later on) over acid as a planet is about to be destroyed.  Leading the Doctor to get them out of there, as usual.  As they journey through the planet in search of the TARDIS, still handcuffed to the stick, as the Doctor's command of "release" isn't working.  The stick breaks into two and that's when they appear to be riding a broomstick.  Some  Hallowe'en allusion.  Though this was rather a Hallowe'en episode with the Swarm (Sam Spruell) and his sister introduced here in their garb.  Who will dress like them next Hallowe'en.  

As the Doctor has a mind recharge she is whisked away to a far off place where Swarm torments her with "trick or treat."  Just to firmly set what day it was in out minds, if we didn't already know.  The Doctor doesn't recall meeting him before but seems to have had a part in his imprisonment.  Harkback to the Doctor not having all her memories in The Timeless Child, that we didn't get a conclusion to.  Yaz mentions trick or treat later on too.

We see two women about to check the prison security where Swarm is being held before he's able to break free and zap one.  Taking in her particles.  In Antarctica a couple receive a warning but the woman smashes the device.  She doesn't want to be contacted as they were promised they wouldn't be.  Also on the observation outpost Vinder (Jacob Anderson) sees the destruction of the Flux firsthand and has to evacuate in a pod, as the Flux destroys everything in its path.  The Doctor calls it a hurricane. 

The potential new companion, meanwhile, Dan Lewis (John Bishop) is leading the tour of a Liverpool museum until he's interrupted by Diane and told he has to leave.  They arrange a date/not a date for later which we know he's going to stand her up for.  At the food bank he gives away some candy and then he rejects the offer of some soup for his hard work.  This he later regrets as he has nothing to eat at home.  One companion who wants to genuinely help people and is finding it to hard to make ends meet.  After a few Hallowe'en callers he is abducted by one, a dog, who he says has a really life-like costume.  He is a canine Karvanista (Craige Els) and he cages Dan before taking him away to his ship.  Yaz and the Doctor also arrive as they've followed the trail here.  Inside the Doctor finds a laptop which can't be Dan's and as she finds out a fleet of ships are approaching Earth, the laptop blows up.  As they escape in the nick, the house is shrunk.  Here they also meet Clare (Annabel Scholey) who says she's from the future, past, but they will meet again.  Clare is followed by a Weeping Angel and knows not to blink, however she keeps doing this until finally she is no more.

The Doctor lands the TARDIS on the ship, before Yaz can get what's troubling the Doctor out of her.  She goes after Karvanista as Yaz rescues Dan.  Not before they banter about Sheffield and Dan putting down Yorkshire.  Karvanista reveals he was rescuing Dan and protecting him as his species, the Lupari are here to rescue Earth and each one of them has a human to protect and take off the planet.  The Doctor asking what the humans have got to say about that.  He calls it a "species bonding arrangement."  Swarm contacts the Doctor again and this time he's seen to be part of the Flux as his destruction is similar.  Seems the Doctor wasn't so concerned about all the other planets being destroyed and was only interested in protecting Earth.  

The Doctor orders the Lupari ships into a formation that forms over Earth and acts as a forcefield saving it from the Flux.  Although that could be in vain as the Sontarans see it as an opportunity to take it over with maximum destruction.  The woman in the Antarctic is Swarm's sister, Azure (Rochenda Sandall) whom he's missed.  As well as tunnels being dug under Liverpool in the nineteenth century.  This is presumably where Diane (Nadia Albina) ends up, as she's forcibly 'dragged' into the building she was supposed to be meeting Dan outside.  Everything is thrown together into this one episode, with snippets of characters we will probably see throughout the six episode arc.  Hopefully it will all make sense...

Death Walker 1.4 "Masonic Mysteries"

Nick: the history and buildings have nothing to do with the energy at this location, there's something missing about the land that holds the answers.

The Octagon Hall, Kentucky.  Masons, Jeffrey says aren't a secret society and are needed to identify other masons.  The signs they use.  He can only speak of his own experiences.  Have had objects being moved, disembodied voices. Unexplained shadows.  They've gotten names from EVPs and psychics.  A little girl Abbey Winter-Smith, her father Charles, was one of the Masters of the Lodge.  There's a grave in the cemetery.  She likes to play with people.  He's heard her.  Charles is curious about the people.  Nick: "why do they bring so much energy to this location, different from other locations."  Ref erring to ley lines and the caves lie between the two locations, 90 minutes apart.  Abbey has toys from people.  'Addy' was written on the grave and she died at 16.  But they see/hear her as 6-8 years old.  Probably the time she was more comfortable at.  

"Masonic lodges have been built on ley lines, energy epicentres.  Possible many entities/impressions do this cos of the way the energy travels."   Nick has goosebumps.  He hears a man's disembodied voice before he begins investigating.  He uses the Geoport.  He asks if they know who he is.  "Yes, no, yes."  This amazes him.  He uses the Panabox again.  "Masons" is heard and "alive or alright" when he asks if it's okay to be here.  Nick asks how he finds the answers he's looking for.  He's on a journey.  How can he get to the dimensions on the other side.  "Come through" I heard.  He asks if they exist or is he talking to himself.  Something to do with the energy, environment, position of house or the tragedy of what happened here.  Nick hears old music upstairs.  Perhaps they're playing the music in their reality but he can hear it for some reason.  

He climbs into the attic and sees a shadow, some sort of mass near the chair.  A shadow figure.   He feels drained.  Nick thinks it's 'a doorway to some other place in time/era and things get in or out when that door is opened.  An energetic doorway.'  They're bumping into furniture.  "They're open with their minds when something happens we're awake to it."  Nick hears a train.  You can actually hear it and Bear talked about a ghost train they photographed and this isn't a passenger line but it had people inside and walking around.  Nick's waiting for a UFO.  Nick hears a bell, it could be the ball with the bell inside; placed where Abbey's toys are.  I hear "behind you" when Nick asks if she moved the ball.  

"Yes" comes through when he asks if Abbey is here.  "First father" when he asks if he's her father.  "Try to contact me" is heard on the Panabox.  A girl's voice comes through "precisely."  I heard that too.  "Please help," I heard.  Melting pot where things are coming here.  He's certain that "things are coming in and out of their reality.  It feels off but is also peaceful too.  Everything coexisting.  Things that we don't have all the answers for, the unexplainable, things living through this reality...something's happening here."

"Spirits travel from one location to the next and never know where it's coming through.  Like abbey and her father.  Like people crossing paths with each other.  So much history, layers, fascinating." He loves this location, energetic so many mysteries.  he gets goosebumps.  The temperature drops.  He talks respectfully about the place and he feels they thanked him. 

Morrison Lodge, Kentucky.  This location dates back to 1823 when it was chartered by The grand Lodge of Kentucky.

Deborah tells Nick about Mary Elizabeth, the owner's little girl, her dress caught on fire in the kitchen.  Took her seven days to die.  She's been seen waking around.  In 2002 work was done in the basement and they found an entrance to the tunnels.   They're still looking for the second basement.  Nick: "Cryptids, UFOs, paranormal, all different emotions of people dying here etc.  These two locations bringing about energy that are different to other locations."  Nick hears footsteps, feet being dragged.  Debra and John spoke of doorways and dimensions to the other side.  Asks if they know who he is.  I hear "a little bit."  Then something like "I died here."??  he asks if there are any Confederate soldiers hiding.  Or Union soldiers "they are?" is heard.

As this building burned down in 1913 and rebuilt, Nick feels it's the land that is haunted and not the building itself.  Which surely must have something to do with the ley lines.  The fact that both locations are on these ley lines suggests they do have an influence on the hauntings and what is going on there.  Some outside presence which is allowing the hauntings to take place, whether it be a doorway or portal.  

Nick: "So much mystery surrounding the two locations and they wont work it out in one night. Octagon hall and Morrison Lodge he can leave with a new perspective.  The spirits travelling from location to location is true since he heard his name in various locations.  But the one that significantly proves this point is when he went to Hinsdale House and then the recording he did in his basement of his own house in an episode of Paranormal Lockdown that told him to head to Pontefract.

Doctor Who 13.2 "War of the Sontarans"

Ending up during the Crimean War where the Doctor (Jodie Whittaker)  Yaz (Mandip Gill) and Dan (John Bishop) meet Mary Seacole (Sara Powell) who has opened The British Hotel (said enough times) in this episode who catches the Doctor pilfering through a dead soldier's pockets.  At least Mary thinks she is.  As they arrive at the Hotel, Dan and Yaz disappear.  Dan ends up in Liverpool being chased by Sontarans who have taken it over and the entire world.  As they are also fighting the British in the Crimean War.  Russia isn't part of the map the Lt General has, it's now known as Sontara and this includes China too.  Though he and Mary do recall Russia from somewhere before.  Mary tells the Doctor about the wounded Sontaran she nursed though he healed himself.  He's disgruntled as death was a far more fitting honour for him.  The Doctor tricks him into going back to his leader so he can parley with the Doctor.  As these Sontarans don't know the Doctor has undergone regeneration.  Thus giving her time to follow him to their base, along with Mary.

A man wakes up on another world and is taken by a Triangular Lantern asking "can you repair?"  It's the Temple of Atropos on a planet known as Time and the Mouri are in need of repair.  But he doesn't know what to do.  As Dan is chased by Sontarans into an alley since he's evaded the curfew, they're conked on the neck by his parents using a wok.  They tell him the world is being taken over and his mother adds that Liverpool was taken over first.  They have ships at the docks.  Dan infiltrates the docks and a ship and films everything for the Doctor.  Also witnessing the Sontarans brutally executing 'spies.'

The Doctor leaves Mary in their concealed base to take notes and observe as she meets for parley.  Admitting to the Sontaran leader, Skaak (Jonathan Watson) that she is the Doctor.  Who (!) was also President of Gallifrey* once. She wants them to leave and not engage in the war, however the Lt General has other plans, as he orders her removal from the scene.  Thus engaging in a bloody battle he has no chance of winning.  Realizing he can't, he asks the Doctor for help.  She explains to them who the Sontarans are and what they need to do to make them retreat.  I.e exhaust their supplies of air and food as they need to rest for 7.5 minutes as they can't remain in earth's air for so long.  That's why they wear armour.  The Doctor also steals onto one of their ships with Mary and makes contact with Dan who tells her about Liverpool and the footage.

The Sontarans plan on using the Flux chaos to make Earth a Sontaran outpost with the use of a temporal time attack.  Or as Dan asks a 'tempora' attack.  Yaz meets Vinder (Jacob Anderson) who tells her about the temple and the repair.  However, Swarm and his cronies, Azure and the Passenger also arrive at the Temple with nefarious intent and use Yaz to repair the Temple.  As the Doctor gets the TARDIS back also which takes them to the Temple.  

With the Lt General actually destroying the ships by planting gunpowder outside of them and igniting them, the Doctor once again questioning why she helps humanity and that they were retreating.  However they would only return so whatever happened was inevitable and this wouldn't have stopped them killing.  Also she herself explained that's all they've been cloned for.  Mary, for one, being thankful that the Doctor does save humanity. 

Atropos was one of the three Moirai, who were goddesses of destiny and fate.  Atropos was the eldest of the Three Fates and she was the one who selected how mortals would die.  She was the one who would cut their threads.  (Atropos as seen in the Supernatural ep My Heart Will Go On.)   But generally she is familiar as I kept annoying everyone by mentioning who she is, ha. 

*The Doctor was President in The Invasion of Time arc with Tom Baker (1978) in the episode The Deadly Assassin.  The Presidency was also alluded to in episodes with Doctors 5,6 and 7.  The Invasion of Time arc also involved the Sontarans.  So very relevant here.

DeathWalker 1.3 "The Others"

Hear child's voices and hear things falling, being touched. Willis House Inn.  Also saw a fireball in the room. Fourteen passed away in the house and a man levitated in one of the rooms.  In the basement a pregnant woman was pushed and she was stuck there.  Her husband came back with a priest.  They bound the entity in a circle of salt.  Their beagle doesn't want to go in the hole in the brick wall.  In the room where people have been levitating in the night is where Nick wants to spend the night.  He feels there was sadness here and there's more positive energy in the house due to the renovations.  Nick believes everyone has different perspectives on life, death.  He uses the Geoport.  Nick asks who's here.  Children are here.  "Sarah's with me??"  "Nick is here."  The spirit does an awful lot of "hmmph."  Likes their dogs "sometimes."  

Nick asks who's in the hole.  Does he like them.  Voice replies "I try."  

"It's in there....ssh. Do you see him?"  Nick feels something will crawl out at him and I got an itchy  feeling on my forehead after he mentions the cobwebs!  Was there a shadow there when Nick asks where the others are?  Nick hears a knock.  Nick asks about the exorcism.  A woman says "help."  A voice says "no" after Nick asks if it was here when the exorcism took place.  Wants Nick to sleep in that room.  "Let me come in."  

Nick also visits The Orson Starr House in Royal Oaks, Michigan.  Orson Starr made cowbells and these have become collector's items.  Five generations lived in the house until 1964.  Which is now a museum.  An old man haunts here, an old woman, Katherine has been seen.  There are also childrens' spirits who prefer to interact with women.  The spirits could be something more sinister.  There is actual furniture of the family's in the house.  Their ears pop.  Toys move in the nursery and thee children like the closet.  Nick feels the house has come alive.  An orb comes round the corner, doesn't appear to be dust or an insect as the house is newly renovated. 

Nick thinks the children run away after seeing them as they hear footsteps.  John EL Tenney thinks the children come here to visit.  As around the world when people talk of death they speak of going home.  Like it's a place they've already been and when they die go back to the place where they were born.  Go to physical places as well in the home.  Nick loves chatting with him as they can discus so much whilst in the dark.  John used to come here for 35-36 years.  Nick says he has two daughters too, which John thinks has an influence since they probably want to talk to someone they're related to, or feel comfortable with.  Nick thinks of energy as looking at a persons' aura.  He resonates positive energy sometimes.  In the same way spiritual energy can sense that too.  

They speak of the Stone Tape Theory - that's why I said this episode should have been called this.  John says his youthful energy might still be there and that's what Nick thinks they could be going through now.  Was there also something obscuring the window behind them, is it a window, the light??  After they play 'the knocking game.'  That was funny cos it seems that's all they did here.  John talks of the basement as being predisposed in our minds, psyche, as being haunted and that energy is there also for the people who used to live here.  Nick thinks the Starr children would also be afraid of their own basement.  Daring each other to come here and they could hear their voices and Nick says they hear them living right now.  So they hear ghosts and they're communicating at two different times.  All taking place in this same location.  John: doesn't have to be one type of ghost or one thing that happens to them when they die, as each location and human is different. 

However, I do understand why this episode was called The others as just like the film title, it referred to how humans look into the past and perceive those who were once alive as ghosts.  In the same way these spirits could be looking at us from their timeline and viewing us as the spirits. 

Interesting John was also in Franklin Castle ep of Paranormal Lockdown and the presence of children was also noted in that ep.  Since there was also some knocking going on with Katrina and Nick as if the children were playing hide and seek with them. 

Everything is all speculation and theory, so they can't be definitive since it's not set in stone. Nick sleeps in the levitating room at the Willis Inn and nothing happens to him.  So he concludes that the spirits are happy with the renovations.  Also he did look the worse for wear considering he used to be extra tired in Paranormal Lockdown!

Deathwalker 1.2 Stone Tape Theory

The House of Wills, Cleveland was once a German opera house, funeral home. Hills son committed suicide. Eric, the owner of the house said it was also used by Freemasons.  Nick and Eric discussed how people who believe bad things happen will happen.  Nick talks of those who have passed and people put energy into saying goodbyes, build up the energy around them.  Would possibly be a time for dark spirits to manifest and be a negative influence on them.  All that sorrow and tears making them vulnerable and ripe for the picking.  Eric saw a mist, a dark shadow in kitchen.   he speaks of how nothing affects him cos he says he owns the house and it’s his.  

This leaves Nick posing the question whether it's possible for a location to harness energy and cause its own hauntings.  Ed Steele owns The Sixth Precinct, Detroit, Michigan.  An abandoned police precinct turned into a crack house.  Rescued in 2013.  In 1943 people took prisoners out of there.  The place has seen everything from hanging,s suicides, gangs police deaths.  Containing ten cells, with over twelve deaths.  Is everything connected due to a transfer of energy.  What’s alive is within the space location is its original Gothic structure that contributes to haunting or dark manifestations that contribute.  Is what Nick questions.  As Eric called it a glimpse in time and everything overlaps. 

Loud banging in cell.  On the Geoport, he gets the following responses, "Roseville. Heart that evil. Behind you, sitting"  Nick asks "are you alive or dead."  
Voice replies, "Nick.  I'm dead. Nick's here hello."  
Nick asks if he's attending the funeral ?  "Yeah of course.  I'm still stuck.  Killed, get me out."  Nick asks if his energy is absorbed into building?"  Reply: "yes no."  Batteries are constantly drained. IR light goes out several times. 

At the Wills House.  "It caught me, hanging."  When he asked what happened in the changing room accident.  "Get out of this house. Same killer, heroin, diamond symbol."  When Nick asks what happened in this house.  The response is "I did heroin."  Nick doesn't know who is talking to picking up another energy.  How emotion releases the living and dead.   Need answers from some place and he's searching for these. 

Sixth Precinct:  Nick hears a noise.  Uses the Pana box for voices from the other  side.  "Killed." The  IR goes out again.  More replies; "psychological damage that might take on."  Probably relating to the killings and suicides there.  

Wills House: "behind you. Help."  In the basement of the house. 
Sixth Precinct: Nick mentions the last breath taken when beaten and when dead where does the energy go? Another bang is heard. John Pana invented the Pana Box and nick uses this.  "Sweet revenge” is captured.  Nick asks "what revenge ?"  A scream is heard.  “That was the situation.” 

Wills House: batteries dying in house. Dolls are in one room of the house.  The most macabre ever seen, even I didn't like those and I don't hate dolls! The house is transmitting glimpses of energy and Nick believes the dolls have a story.   He's been seeing shadow figures.  
He explains how he feels life is quick and we're on a journey and then dead, laid out, putting energy back into the house and the surrounding environment.

If we are recycle energy, at least our bodies then what about our souls.  Is my question. Each one is unique so it can't just be energy. Does a new soul enter our body, a body,  everytime someone is born. Oh I don't know; but Nick always gets me thinking and this show is great as it transcends just ghost hunting, or investigating the paranormal that we already know about.  Trying to make new inroads into the knowledge already gathered about how we see spirits and how they manifest.  Yet how or why are they here.  Aside from the restless souls, something bad happening to them, common explanation.  Exposition into other aspects of this has to be investigated and evidence gathered on this.  One way is by asking the spirits themselves.  As Nick was doing in this episode.  When inside the Sixth Precinct he asked if their energy is here and that's what's keeping them here.  Sure I heard a faint "yes."  Not sure if that was in response to that question of his, as it came a little while after he asked.  

Must be good to get his name mentioned twice on the Geoport.  They either know him or heard his name whilst he was there.  

NB thought Stone Tape Theory would be third episode title as he specifically talks with John EL Tenney about it.

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 meafter 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.
