Ghost Adventures "Horror At Joe Exotic Zoo"


Hallowe'en Special continues the Tiger King saga.  Yes Zak 2020 was "crazy!"  He recalls the TV show Tiger King (I didn't watch it.)  Jeff Lowe said he has to give the park to Carol Baskin and she could have "all the ghosts that go with it."  Zak believes it to be haunted and in Wynnewood, Oklahoma, he's ready to investigate the spirits here.  They say Joe Exotic is paranoid and was found guilty.  Zak speaks with Jeff and Lauren Lowe.  Joe illegally transferred the property and Baskin could get it legally.  Zak says there's a "dark vortex of energy in this place lingers here, as Lauren says.  They are sure there have been murders here.  Zak adds they don't have any proof but it's still disturbing to hear.  They dug up the tigers that Joe killed.  Being here since 1998 and were stories about strange occurrences.  Joe was arrested and many residents were relieved.  Since they were afraid to talk about him.  Jeff doesn't know how he kept sane here.  Hear noises and are strange.  Zak asks if something caused Joe's behaviour on this land as it hides something.  Zak hasn't heard tiger growls before and they see the tiger pee through the fence.

It's mentioned Joe took a photo and saw someone was levitating above the alligator house.  He thought it was a spirit.  Erik lived here three years and he lost his friend, Travis here, husband of Joe.  He shot himself accidentally.  He removed the clip from his gun but it still went off.  Erik said the clip was in the gun when he found him, but it was reported the clip was removed.  Not emptied.  He talks with Alan, allegedly Joe paid him to kill Baskin.  He denies this.  Alan has experienced hauntings.  Zak says he heard a voice near him.  He says Travis is still with him.  Jeff says Travis still knocks on their window and came round a few nights ago.  Erik says he saw Travis seven days after he died.  Saw him on the couch and winked at him.  He was shaken up by it.

Malicia talks of seeing Travis too and he was near her son's age and they spoke together whenever she needed to.  She saw a mist from the cougar cage, Travis's height.  She shows them where he killed himself in the gift shop and the bullet hole is still there.  Zak feels there are more secrets to be found.  

Joe's house where Erik has been in once and had the feeling to leave and he avoids it.  The house is ramshackle and rundown.  Travis's couch is still there. Even his car key still hangs on the wall and Joe's pill bottle is still there.  Aaron can't breathe and has to leave.  Zak says Travis is still here and things have happened that they can't talk about.  Zak just had to touch the penis pump!  Lauren adds there are bodies under the cement island at the pond, one under a concrete slab and one where ashes were spread under the tiger cages.

At the Back 140 - had a bad reputation.  For 20 years animal remains were dumped there and the bodies were hidden there.  Jeff and Lauren believe bodies were here.  Erik has seen balls of light there and Jeff tells him about the bodies of two trespassers who were shot by two employees.  They know the names but due to lawyers they won't mention them.  Two employees were drinking and getting high and one employee shot and killed one and one was wounded.  The shooter couldn't did it and the other man shot him instead and then burned the bodies.  They have no evidence this happened.  Zak asks if there's a "dark force controlling those who walk this land?"  Zak calls up a forensic team.  He calls Terri to bring cadaver dogs down.  The dogs can tell the difference between human and animal remains.  

Bill Chappell comes down to carry out some experiments.  Recreate an area for EVPs.  He runs in a pipe system and adds some frequencies making up human voices and they should be able to 'amplify' the voices.  The dogs are able to smell human remains and bark when they found something.  They also can tell the difference between animal remains.  Zak hasn't seen any land that is drenched with energy.  The darkness "hangs over this entire zoo like a cloak of oppression."  The dog picks up human remains scent.  Jeff says there was a 14' alligator in the water.  The dog smells human remains.  

The experiment is to understand the method of  EVP generation.  Zak talks to Travis's spirit in the gift shop.  He uses the Trifield meter and gets a huge sweep on it.  Billy shows the tubes from the 'deep echo experiment' with the pipes heading along the land.  The pipe is filled with water, they'll broadcast some frequencies and see if anything is heard to nerve centre.  He asks whether an EVP can be carried through the water.  As Zak et al head to Joe's house they see two lights resembling eyes.  There is nothing seen on the path.  They use a mic that doesn't pick up any sound.  Bill takes an energy speaker and gives it some sound.  If they get an EVP they can convert it to sound.  As Bill places a mic where Travis killed himself, they see a mist go before them.  It could be a spirit manifestation.  Bill sees another mist outside by the door.  An anomaly then comes out of Bill's arm.  The tone generator experiment: 3 sounds were captured: underwater tone: "folks are dead??" or something...dead" is heard whispered.  The water mic: sounds like "a corn dog in the corner" yeah that's just corny!  Bill was surprised by the words being long.  The controlled experiment is historic for their investigations.

Zak investigates Joe's house.  Aaron asks if he remembers them.  Zak asks about the entity above the alligator house.  Zak feels panic and a light anomaly enters his body.  Aaron uses the Polterpod and I hear "gifted to him."  Not "give it to him."  The house is oppressive and need to leave.  The house is suffocating, it's the energy inside it.  Zak hears two people talking and music in the house.   Zak uses the Trifield and gets another high reading as in the gift shop.  He then gets emotional and apologizes.  Zak captures a figure on the SLS by the closet pointing at the shelf.  He finds a teddy bear and then a cap with Travis's name on it.  Zak places the hat on the couch next to a cigarette and ask for Travis to appear and a figure does appear.  Zak and the others can't contain themselves.  They play the voice again.  Which still sounds like "gifted to him."  Did someone gift him the hat.  

The Sheriff's department come to check out the alligator pit.  Zak says they came here for a paranormal investigation and now their discovery shows something more to the 'Joe Exotic investigation.'  The Sheriff concludes the remains found are animal and not human, something with a tail.  With which the cadaver dog people disagree.  Their dogs have been used in countless investigations and have found human remains underwater.  So they can't be wrong!  Something wasn't right here.  The Sheriff lets them take the dogs back but concludes that they have nothing to investigate.  The experts aren't happy with this.  Zak wonders how aggressive the spirits will get now that the dogs are still sensing human remains.  

Their second lockdown is prepped and Zak shows their findings to Erik, who recalls Travis and his hat that Joe took from him as punishment.  Zak is even more convinced that the figure is actually Travis.  Explains why he would've pointed to his hat and would've wanted it back.  Erik believes that Joe was possessed and he would repeat himself after he spoke.  He'd also not change his clothes for days even.  

Jay and Zak head to the Back 40, as Aaron and Billy investigate the alligator pit and then Alan's trailer.  Jay felt something tug his shirt and an anomaly/mist goes away from his back.  A growl is heard.  Which could be a tiger or residual.  They try to talk to the male voice from earlier where he said "play."  Zak asks if spirits are here? "Yeah."  How many bodies are buried? "Two."  How did they die?  "Fire."  Although they don't have any proof of the allegations.  Their final response to where are you buried?  "Here."  Must be something haunting that area.

Aaron runs out of the trailer as Alan is still asleep there and he saw his tiger blanket moving.  They investigate his trailer anyway.  They take Polaroid photos, EMF readings and a voice comes through the Polterpod, "David" comes through.  Then the Ovilus says "Satan Shining."  Zak explains when Lucifer was falling and the association of Isiah 14:12 refers to the Shining One instead of Lucifer.  David also being a biblical name.  

Zak and Jay investigate the gift shop.  Jay puts a tricycle out and Travis used to sit in it and it used to move.  The storm rages outside.  He uses a Vocorder like a live EVP.  They can talk and the sensitive mic will pick it up and play what it heard through the speaker.  Zak feels he was touched.  On the audio session he hears a voice saying "what up?"  Or "shut up"??  After Travis's voice Zak wonders what else they'll find here in the future.  Weeks later the experts tells Zak that there are human remains buried and they want to go again.  A week later the team returned to the zoo.  Four different dogs gave positive responses at the pit.  The zoo hides many secrets.  Not to mention that if there's anything of vale to the photo Joe took at the alligator house could this have any relevance to the alligator pit, since this is where the human remains appear to be.  Was it a sign to investigate there?

Ghost Adventures "Vengeance In Oxnard"

Oxnard, California: a historic, haunted house. A couple who moved here one year ago.  People were pushed by unseen forces, death.  The Henry Levy House.  Built for the Oxnard magnate over a century ago.  Henry died in 1936 and his wife Camille looked after it until the 1970's.  Camille died in the home but Juliet's whereabouts isn't known.  Their cruelty has caused owners to sell their house.  After being here one year they've asked for help.  A neighbour tells them of firsthand experience with the house and the sisters.  Marina tells them they were rude with everyone.  Her son had passed when she moved here.  He'd ride his tricycle and tell him "dirty Mexican go home."  They had to walk on the road.  She thinks it's the house and the way they were.  Her experience after their passing saying she felt negativity, chills.  She knows they're still there and want to stay there.  Zak says their prejudice is despicable but they now know what the sisters were like.

The couple, Eric and Jeff moved in a year ago.  First six months was fine then there was a stone in the garden and it resembled a gravestone, my sis said that too before he did.  The previous owner wanted it back, when they removed it they had their experience.  Heard shoes above them.  The third floor, the attic and above their bedroom the floor isn't finished.  At Marina's house, she tells them she couldn't go into the third floor.  Before Eric lived there, Mariana's high school teacher resided there and she'd go there.  On the third floor they felt watched.  The couple found the door wide open and on CCTV the door is seen to swing open after being locked.  Zak wonders if the sisters are here.  In the spiritual realm it's still their house.   

Zak only wants to know if the sisters are here behind the haunting.  He calls them out in not being good and how they treated others.  Zak has an uneasy feeling and feels a headache.  He may be feeling territorial oppression.  He's going to push back.  Aaron and Billy investigate the third floor.  He wants to go into the bedroom and feels someone is there causing him to go in.  He feels anger and sees the mirror and that's what my sis said again before Zak said it.  It's the bedroom where Camille passed and Lauren sits in front of it.  Billy sees the Trifield spiked all the way and peaked.  The homeowner tells them a female voice was caught on their camera.  Sounds like "leave us/our house..."??  He wonders if something darker happened on the grounds.  A woman's brother-in-law and sister were the first owners of the house.  They were told the pond wasn't original and there was an older one there and a man died in there.  No idea who he was or how he died.   Billy says Zak's feeling what they want him to feel.  Zak got affected as he used provocation and it was due to their treatment of Mariana and if they don't like it, they should do something.

Second day of their investigation Zak mentions the mirror room and he felt the most anger there.  He felt this wasn't him and it was one of the sisters.  Marina says she saw a figure in her home.  He believes the Levy sisters' spirits are travelling and could have backfired onto her due to his provocation.  She saw a shadow and then it vanished and looked like a person.  One of her daughter's couldn't sleep.  Zak thinks since they mentioned them perhaps one of the sisters or something came to this house.  He says there's no room for anything evil or inhuman in their house due to their faith and love.  Zak asks if they are here and he doesn't like them.  He asks who he saw in the mirror.  "Female" comes up on the Puck.  Who are they mad at?  'Holy.'   One of her daughter's says her grandmother used to call her, "her little witch."  Zak tells it to go the table.  Then says names: Camille, Juliet, Henry?  He asks why it's mad?  "Heavy"  comes through.   Marina asks who she saw.

Zak asks who the spirit that came to this house is?  "Many" they say was his son, Manny.  Zak wants to be sure it's him.  Billy asks who came to the living room?  "Evil."  Zak gets a stabbing pain.  A warning from Manny.  Zak's breathing got erratic and off balance and feels cold.  Marina has a pain in her side.  Zak does a quick EVP session.  "Many" comes through again.  And they feel cold air.  The Trifield spikes.  "Big" they describe him as heavy and big.  They believe it is Manny.  He asks him to help with who was in the house and asks if it was one of the sisters or something negative that affected the land and the sisters.  Then spikes again.  Zak feels cold.  Something gets hold of Zak on his shoulder.  Zak didn't feel any negativity.  Zak asks him to watch over his mother.  The location of the ice cold mass and charged air was near to the bedroom door that was Manny's bedroom. 

The XLS captures a figure where the man was found in the pond and jumps on the table.  Billy says that's what opened the door and the spirit moves from outside in or stays outside.  Zak uses the XLS and a full spectrum camera.  Eric then tells them he heard a growl on the camera last night.  They play the voice again and it sounds like a creepy, old woman rather than a growl.  Zak tells them this isn't their house anymore.  Footsteps are heard upstairs.  Aaron tells Zak to go quickly like he does to him.  He says they're territorial and possessive of the house.  They hear a growl that sounds like a voice.  Zak asks why they're not scaring him like the others.  

Aaron feels a pain and pressure and something's about to happen.  A figure touches the camera next to Aaron and Billy feels the cold air.  It keeps touching the camera and tripod.  Aaron feels drained as he was poked in his head after Aaron says there's something on his head.  One tries to film the other figure.  Was that the two sisters, would make sense.  Another figure tries to get Aron's camera on the table.  Zak says the figure is trying to sprinkle pixie dust and tries to control him and is doing something to Aaron's head and levitates over him and vanished.  Some of their best evidence.  Aaron has eye problems.  Damn the right part of my eye started hurting near the eyebrow.  He can't keep his eyes open.  

Camille's old bedroom and the mirror.  Aaron said he saw a woman and his eyes aren't hurting now.  Zak wants her to show herself.  He sees the mirror glow and something touching his leg.  He feels it stronger here and gives it permission to do something to any of them.  Zak: "Cross the veil, feel our breath, see through our eyes."  He says he sees a woman.  Zak speaks with the mirror when alone.  He does, no, personally and an anomaly comes out of the mirror.  Zak said he had a conversation with Camille and answering questions.  She said how dare he comes into their house and call her out, "he thinks he's really cool..."  How true ha! 

Zak uses the Estes method of communication wearing headphone and they ask questions.  Aaron asks if it lives here, its house?  "Yeah."  "Talking about the attic."  "Not physically or visible"??  No more voices.  Zak has Billy put his phone on the landline and a voice comes through on his phone as "great great."  Did that sound residual??   Zak asks if it can hear them, Camille?   A voice comes through on Zak's phone; was it Henry or the dead pond man.  Another voice comes through "can you hear the dead?"  When Zak asks who they're talking to he gets a call on his phone: No Caller ID.  He doesn't answer it and thinks it could be personal.  Someone should've answered it, accidentally.  If it was personal cos editing dude!!! should've picked up!  

That called the end of the investigation and he feels he made a connection with Camille.  Aaron got controlled and the EVPs they got were amazing.  But what happened to the house after the investigation and to Eric, Jeff and Marina??

Ghost Adventures: "Curse of Catalina Island"


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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Ghost Adventures "Lovelock Triangle"


Zak: "If locations give off a vibe and energy before you even walk into them this place is like walking into the face of the sun..."  Lovelock, Nevada, he calls a strange and mysterious place in the US.  Archeologists made a 'profound discovery' in the 2850 BC where giant human bones belonging to the Si-Te-Ca, giant Native cannibal tribe were found.  Killed by the Paiute.  Energy is caused by the vortex creating more fear.  In 1891 Paiute murdered a woman they said practised witchcraft in the town.  Said this led to the town being cursed.  Which is already 'strange' he adds.

The Marzen House overseen by Kelly who has had dark attachments following her to her nearby house.  There's something more than just Kelly and her connection to the house.  Kelly is nervous.  She's the museum director who carries out research there.  The house was built by Col Joseph Marzen in 1885 and has become laden with "tomb of artifacts" from the region.  She's deeply connected to it and has been associated with it for 23 years.  Her son, William says that she just can't get away from this house.  She's addicted to it.  He sees darkness in her eyes.  He's noticing changes in her personality.  She's been drawn there by the energy and spirits.  Zak feels cold which could be a manifestation of the entity that followed her.  She has nightmares about the museum where she's stuck in the house.  She has black shadows in the Marzen house and she's seen one there.  See later.

William's worried for her and he doesn't believe that she's protecting herself.  No EVPs caught.  Zak wants to work out who's at the house.  Yes but when he got the chance he doesn't actually come out and ask who it is and i mean when he was using the Puck.  Using the map of the town he points out the cave which is already steeped in superstition.  The 1891 killing of the witch, thus witchcraft comes to town and Kelly's in the middle.  She's acting as a vessel for the spirits to go back and forth.  The basement, her grandson's bedroom were the children were afraid.  Her sister sent a photo of the man standing in the corner, saying he wanted to be a demon but he couldn't.  Why even leave them in that room if they were having such a negative influence over them.  Will never get that!  Lots of examples of this over the eps, such as The Black Swan Inn.  In her bedroom and he felt like being held down three times and she has her nightmares there.  She thinks the spirits are following her and going back and forth there.

Zak feels sick and feels it could be an 'echo' of the earlier cold spot.  Aaron does a Trifield sweep.  The spirits know they're here to break the bond.  The place scares him.  William and his friend saw someone working in the assay building and a man lying on the bed got up and stared at him.  He doesn't go there.  Lauren asks if it was from the Marzen and the meter spikes to 4.3.  Kelly fears what will happen to her when they go to the house.  Zak asks if they're allowed there.  He feels a lingering sensation.  He doesn't know where he's going but will follow it.  Zak gets visions of a railroad depot and he wants to follow his vision.  Kelly is fine and she says there was a train depot.  They meet Tina, she grew up with William. In 1998 her father died in the building and was found by Kelly's son, William (see later.)  William broke into the train depot and found him dead.  

Zak ponders being led here.  Something graver is at work here and asks if there was a darkness in the past waiting to begin manifesting here and at the depot too.  Upstairs people get affected, feeling anxious.  Typing this ep I suddenly got a sick feeling!  Yuk!!  An inter-dimensional scavenger hunt and they don't know who's leading them on it and he can't escape being stuck in bad dream.  The one that's called him here to expose it.  Using the Polterpod he asks what the connection is to everyone, The house, the depot and Kelly and her son.  A triangle.  Hence the name of the ep.  He doesn't like that room.  He asks if it wants to talk to them.  He tells them about some info a few weeks ago, a man committed suicide on the tracks, right in front of the Marzen House.  Something's going on and they need to prepare themselves for the connection.  

They set up a connection creating a triangle.  With Kelly at the house, Zak and Billy at her house and Aaron and Jay at the depot.  Setting up an electrical connection, in some ways similar to the Winchester Mystery House.  A loud growl is heard from the Marzen House.  At the train depot they have set up where Tina's father's body was found.  Zak asks who can see them on the Puck "Evil."  Who do you want: "found."  Kelly feels a headache.  Zak asks where they're entering our world: "Table."  Billy and him feel cold.  9 milligause reading at the table.  Zak wants it to do something in one of the three places.  he didn't ask who it is?  Kelly hears a tap.  Sounded like a knock on the window.  Zak commands all the spirits to travel to the Marzen house and manifest and asks for a sign.  She feels a poke.  A dark shadow figure is captured on the time lapse camera by the front door.  Going up the stairs, that looks like a creepy human!

Zak asks what is happening to Kelly and Aaron gets "Haze" on the Ovilus.  Zak asks where are you? "Above."  A light anomaly goes up the stairs in the Marzen House.  Still didn't ask who it is?  Zak asks why it comes to Kelly's house?  "Haematus  - Do" comes through.  Haematus of Jewish origin "person who touches souls."  Zak feels weird and Aaron doesn't feel well either.  Feeling chills.  Kelly asks what's in her bedroom?  "Witch" comes through at the depot.  Jay says a witch would curse the land.  Kelly says it's true, they had had high fire rates, death rates and was the murder capital of the country.  "Descend" comes through.  To the basement in her house.  Jay and Kelly mention their heads hurting at the same time.  

Jeff conducts an XLS sweep with Kelly.  Capturing a mass coming from the wall and entering the top of her head.  Zak uses the Polterpod in the basement.  Aaron and Jay head upstairs at the depot.  Zak gets a pain on the left side of his neck.  Using the Polterpod and feels someone in the corner.  Billy feels static.  A female comes through and saying "no...you from me?"  Not coming.  He asks who this is? "Greg."  She says "hi."  A man says "Lyle"??  Then hi sounds like "hide or quiet."  The same voice comes through on Aaron's spirit box "hi."  Then a man comes through and says "William."  Her son's name.  Was that Tina's father?  Since he found him there.  Yeah deffo William!!  "Bodies" is what I hear not "freeze."  Aaron thinks it wants them to go inside the attic.  To find bodies!  How long been in house?  "Years."  Same woman's voice.  Why here?  "Because."  Zak asks what the woman's name is "what is your name woman?"   Ha. "Michael" comes through.  Sounds more like "woke up."  Not "Woka"???  That's what's happened to the spirits - they're awake.  Also with all the dreams and nightmares.

Jay uses the spirit box in the attic but nothing comes through.  Jeff tells them about the capture.  He then heard a whisper in his ear.  Aaron tells them about the woman and the mumbling man.  Zak closes the connection and tells the spirits to stay at their location of choice and make contact with them.  Kelly leaves the house.  Zak says their experiment works and shows that the spirits are travelling through the connections.  He wonders who the black mass is.  They did that experiment in Goldfield too.  Oh man what an ep!  I wonder what Tina's father's name was as they got a few male names here.  Zak still didn't ask who they were talking to and who comes and goes in the houses.  Also everytime he said "Marzen House"  I thought of the Barlow House in Salem's Lot don't know why!  Maybe the vampires getting around everywhere in the town and the house was the connection where Barlow was kept.

Doctor Who "The Power of the Doctor"


Cyberman invade a train though just where that futuristic train came from or where it was headed just appeared as a random plot point.  As the guards try to gun them down, they regenerate and are now "Cybermenmasters."  Obviously a big hint as to who had that influence on them.  The Doctor (Jodie Whittaker) tries to help with Yaz (Mandip Gil) and Dan (John Bishop) who clings on for dear life after he almost zooms into space on that ladder.  She helps the people and fails to rescue a child they transport off the train.  Dan prepares for his date and as he's dropped off the TARDIS he says this is his last time on here.  He was lucky to escape with his life and the Doctor helped him put his life back together.  He wants to live it now and is ready for it.  His house is gone obviously so he's going to stay with his parents.  As Yaz says goodbye to him.

We get to see Ace (Sophie Aldred) and she gets a call from Tegan (Janet Fielding) telling her the Doctor's sent her a note and a mini-Russian doll figure.  Which doesn't resemble a Russian doll at all.  This is after Ace looks at the wall of the museum where a missing painting was hanging.  Gone for maintenance is what the assistant says.  Of course she knows there's more going on.  As well as there being fifteen missing seismologists.  Of course as everyone has said that would become topical with all that soup throwing and crap over paintings in museums.  Well the less said about that the better.  Here we see paintings like The Scream, Girl with a Pearl Earring, with the Master's face as Rasputin plastered all over it!  The Girl With the Pearl Earring was a veritable masterpiece here!  Ha.  

The Doctor chasing after the Cybermasters finds a planet: a cyber converted planet.  Where we saw a long haired figure being taken to the Tsarina at the Summer Palace in St Petersburg.  Him being Rasputin aka The Master (Sacha Dhawan).  Here on the planet she finds the Master's TARDIS ready to take the planet through time and space.  She finds it's hooked up to some energy form known as the Quoronx.  To which the child was chained.  She has to return to the TARDIS when the Cybermasters turn up.  The Doctor is then disturbed by a Dalek hologram, a Dalek betraying his own kind by telling her they plan on destroying the human race again and to meet somewhere for details on this.  Kate (Jemma Redgrave) also asks for help.  Where the Doctor is reunited with Tegan and Ace.  Tegan perturbed the Doctor didn't keep in touch and Ace having a falling out with her version.  Tegan having brought the mini-Russian doll with her.  

That's when they see the new images plastered all over the paintings.  The Master trying to be clever and catches the Doctor's attention.  As well as appearing at some seismology conference in Naples which is where she heads.  Here he's shrunk the audience again and he's arrested and taken back in the TARDIS to UNIT HQ.  Telling Yaz to keep a gun on him.  She likes the new HQ.  Then in conversation with Tegan and Ace, she places her hand on their shoulders and shocks them with a static charge.  She's off on the trail of the Daleks next and in true Thirteen fashion, we jump around from place to place where the action is happening practically all over the world.  

The Master has plans to escape obviously and getting caught and coming away with them was too easily orchestrated.  The little mini-doll is now regenerated as his shrinking process can be reversed and transforms into a Cyberman.  Ashad (Patrick O'Kane) and of course he's a Russian doll so soon enough there's a whole building full of Cybermen.  He releases the Master and shows no mercy in taking out the soldiers.  Letting the Master escape.  The Doctor and Yaz find out the Dalek's plan in Bolivia: to erupt all the volcanoes on Earth.  She gets to see the Dalek in person but it's caught by the others who already knew of its betrayal.  As they exterminate it and get the Doctor to sit in its shell; she signals to Yaz to go.  She takes the TARDIS and lands back on the planet where she rescues Vinder (Jacob Anderson).  

The Doctor is taken to St Petersburg where we see Rasputin Master and he wants to force a regeneration of the Doctor harnessing the energy of the planet.  But not before he does a dance rendition to Boney M's Rasputin.  With a harkback to the timely warning in Flux.  He transforms, regenerates into the Doctor, earring in all.  When did she get that then.  Yaz has to accompany him as he too wants a companion, dressed in the Doctor's clothes.  As he wants to ruin the Doctor's reputation everywhere.  But Yaz leaves him and flies away.  Getting out the Post Its from the book and placing them on the controls of the TARDIS on how to fly it.  She was taking notes then was she.

The Doctor gets to see her past selves, well not all, just One (David Bradley) Five (Peter Davison) Six (Colin Baker) Seven (Sylvester McCoy) Eight (Paul McGann).  Each one wearing a robe but Eight being an individual consciousness doesn't want to dress like that.  Telling her they're "at the edge..."  The Doctor appears as a hologram to Yaz and talks of how if she can see this it means she's no longer alive.  That's what the static shock was for as she implanted into them all.  Kate says she can level the building from the inside and Tegan and Ace need to leave by flying off the roof.  Tegan refuses to leave as it's her fault they're here.  Kate sends her to the basement to unplug the wires in the electrical interface as she'll act as a distraction.  Telling Ashad she has knowledge of everything.  He takes her to be converted and the Doctor appears to Tegan.  Finally being able to unplug the wires Kate is saved from her fate.  

Yaz along with Vinder take the Master back to St Petersburg and wants him to reverse the regeneration.  This he is tricked into doing as the Fugitive Doctor (Jo Martin) turns up and get him into the chamber where the Cybermaster's regenerative energy is transferred into the chamber and the Doctor returns.  The Daleks set their plan in motion and volcanoes erupt.  However Ace is on the case, as is Graham (Bradley Walsh).  How did he turn up and why he was there isn't really mentioned.  So he's still going round doing what he did with the Doctor.  Not explained at all.  Allowing Ace to set her bombs and destroy the Daleks.  The Doctor moves the cyberplanet to 2022 using the companions on each of the TARDIS consoles (as in Journey's End) and uses the cybermaster's metal to plug the lava flow.  As she repairs Vinder's ship and lets him fly home through the wormhole before it vanishes.  

Now freeing the Quornox energy the Master arrives to zap her with it thus sending her into another regeneration.  Yaz carries her back.  She eventually wakes and Yaz has dropped everyone off in Croydon.  As she begins ere regeneration, the Doctor asks if Yaz wants to go somewhere and have an ice cream, watching Earth with ice cream.  The best view where they have an emotional talk.  As the Doctor goes to regenerate alone and drops Yaz off back home.  She sees Graham and Dan with a map looking for a place.  Here it was Graham's idea to set up a group for companions to share their stories since no one else will believe them.  Attended by Kate, Tegan, Ace, Melanie Bush (Bonnie Langford) Jo Grant/Jones (Katy Manning) Ian Chesterton (William Russell).

The centenary episode proved to be good in some aspects and very familiar in other ways.  But not in other ways as The Doctor had less to do this ep and being so easily carted off and captured by the Daleks, the Master.  Not much of her quipping or Sonic use for the last time.  The last time we see Jodi as the Doctor and we don't get to see her much.  She goes off and regenerates like a bright lighthouse and out pops Doctor Ten (David Tennant) who now becomes Doctor Fourteen.  Who can't quite believe it's him again.  If you watch on BBC iPlayer you don't get to see a clip of the forthcoming adventures cos they cut the end credits and start another show.  It was Pointless, all pointless I tell you!  Yeah the next show that begins.

Ghost Adventures "Lost Souls of Kingman"


Zak et al cross the road and get onto a school bus.  Kingman, Arizona and they head back to school. Lee Williams High School built on top of pioneer ceremony which was a burial ground from 1900-1970 where 60 bodies were bulldozed and forgotten.  Human remains have been coming to the surface.  They're at the graveyard and park on top of it to pick up the students and the students would find and bring in the bones.  Zak has been waiting years to investigate this location.  The building is still in use and that's what he finds unique.  As the spirits of these lost souls who are angry and have taken over the school.  The library Scott Taylor, former student and principal of the school.  A coffin in the library which contains history of the cemetery.  That's the reason why they think its haunted.  A tuba was needed from the school and he could hear brass instruments.  When he left he couldn't hear it, inside he could hear it again.  He's a sceptic and he can't explain why the tuba was playing.

The gravestone commemorates the resting place of those whose graves were desecrated.  Including the Hualapai Tribe.  Then he takes them to the doors where he was leaving and he heard a girl's voice asking him to stay.  He admits he was scared.  Zak not missing out on the opportunity to rib him about being a sceptic not long ago in the library.  A faculty woman says she also had an experience in a spot under the stairs where the door closed and she asked for it to open back there.  The Kingman Superintendent of Schools was also affected.  The lights went out in the teacher's room bathroom.  The door wouldn't open.  Students speak of seeing a man in a bowler hat.  Molly and Reilly, Scott's twin daughters saw something in the locker room.  Heard the toilet flushing, toilet rolls moving and the door slammed on them.  A child's voice is heard in the bathroom.  Doesn't the voice sound like a door creaking.  Britney, another teacher tells them about Poltergeist activity when a chair moved and then it rolled back again.  During an organized stay of the school at night, she had another experience hearing a bloodcurdling scream, that of a small child.  

Known as the bowler hat man whom everyone has seen.  Is the spirit of Clement C Lee - hanged for gunning down his girlfriend in 1905.  Buried in the cemetery and their bodies are still underneath the school.  Zak says there are spirits everywhere where they're walking over someone's body.  They didn't have any identification of them.  Zak's jealous of the students as they attend school with spirits and that's "the history class that I wanted to go to."  Zak brings Scott back and plays back the EVPs they have caught.  Billy and Aaron went into the basement using the  ITC device, the Polterpod, and recorders.  Stating they got intelligent responses.  Zak loves teaching paranormal in the classroom.  Wasn't he asked several times about what he would do if he ever stopped investigating and maybe teach years ago.  

In the cage Aaron set two recorders, one voice activated.  Aaron asks who he is?  A response is heard "yeah."  The same voice was heard again.  "Get on the floor" "duck down."  The Ovilus got responses.  "Can You" come through on the Ovilus together.  There are tunnels under the town too and it was a mining town.  Aaron asks if it wants them to stay longer.  "Stay" is heard.  Billy asks if the child's spirit is still here.  "Eleven" and the device said many other responses "aqua ashes July."  3 July 1973 11 firefighters were killed in a propane tank explosion.  The school was named after one of the firemen.  Scott says the 11 was cut from the tank as a memorial to those 11.  Billy put the device on the 11 but nothing else came through.  At the cage "Death Rodger Monument."  Roger was one of the firefighters.  Zak adding it's just another layer adding to the hauntings.

Zak and Jay stay at the building.  Aaron and Billy investigate the girl's locker room.  Aaron says he heard a desk moving in one of the classrooms and a shuffling of shoes, but nothing is seen or heard when they look.  They hear a door slam.  Right where Roger's photo is hanging.  They head to the cafeteria and a voice is heard on the camera's audio.  They say sounds like "don't come in."  A voice comes through saying "help us."  Before Aaron hears a voice say "treasure" or is it "present" and then "they're free."  Then a woman's voice says "old one."  Heading to the sport's field.  They have cameras everywhere.  Billy catches a dark shadow walking at the top but doesn't notice at the time as the LCD screen on his camera is too small.  Appearing where the bodies are still buried under the field.  But was it an actual shadow figure?  

Zak enters the bathroom and when they come back out Jay hears a noise.  Zak says they want to learn about what happens when they die and this is a good place to learn, at a school.  Zak reaches out to the man wearing the bowler hat.  A bang is heard.  A light anomaly comes towards him in response to his request.  Zak finds the poster saying "we don't need ghosts we have physics" and calls it "cute."  A man's voice is heard on the boom mic.  Something like "come here sit down??"  Then a locker opens.  They're the only ones in the building.  In the science room, there are books on the desk, they say are piled up in a funny way.  Strange glowing anomalies are caught when Zak is setting up his camera.  He places a recorder on the books and places two balls which will light up when touched.  They light up on cue.  They don't light up again but he feels the spirit's energy still there and he is cold.  The balls only light up when they're touched.  

They head back to where they heard the man's voice and use the Polterpod where the room still contains the earth.  They call it a portal.  A name comes through on the Polterpod.  Jay feels something rush him and Zak hands him the Polterpod.  "Diller Ties Tyes"?  Could it be Lee??  Have to listen again on headphones or something similar.  Is this where you come?  Answer: "Yeah."  Based on their evidence Zak concludes it is an active portal.

Ghost Adventures "Los Feliz Murder House Part 2"


In the attic where the bang was heard.  Zak asks what's here and for it to use their energy.  They're here to help anyone who's lost and asks to come upstairs.  He asks why Harold killed his wife and wants him to speak.  Billy captures an anomaly near Aaron who shoos it away on the XLS.  A light anomaly too.  Zak and Kevin both cough.  They're inhaling the spirit.  The ball anomaly moves weirdly.  Spirit energy leaves Aaron's body.  Zak leaves the attic after feeling uncomfortable.  He has chest pains and a pointy anomaly enters him.  Aaron says he sounded like an angry, old woman.  Aaron also smells perfume.  Zak bleeds but there's no cut on his hand.  Aaron says they're the only ones who will talk to it like this.  Recorder captures a screaming growl.  A man replies "fuck you."  Probably confirming the EVP from last week where I heard similar.  Kevin leaves.  An invocation ceremony is going to be conducted by Jay.  Which will make the whole place dangerous to everyone.  It gets colder.

The recorder starts playing in Zak's pocket.  A female scream is heard and Aaron is "zoned out."  The recorder catches "Aaron."  Even before he gets affected.  Jay opens the first gate and Aaron smells firewood.  The second gate is open and Billy feels back pain as soon as Jay pings the bell.  The atmosphere changes and a loud bang is heard.  I also heard a moan.  An anomaly follows Aaron as he goes upstairs.  Billy feels dizzy and Zak catches a mist leaving the circle towards him.  Again as soon as Jay hits the bell.  Billy is affected with anger and Zak asks if Harold was affected with something dark and by reading Dante's Inferno.  Billy heads upstairs and shouts at Harold.  Calling him a coward he killed himself.  He provokes him.  Something gets thrown and a rock lands in the centre of the circle.  An apport : an object from the doorway of another dimension.  Is also hot on the thermal.  As Billy invokes Harold. 

Zak adds they've come back and he can't end their investigations based on the emotions he felt.  When he cried and felt Lillian's sadness.  Believing she's there and contacting him.  Billy also felt something evil and took him over.  The same force that "may" have possessed Harold.  On the same hill as The House On Haunted Hill.  Frank Lloyd Wright when he built it also mentioned that.  He wants to take it to the next level.  Trying to get answers showing Harold was possessed with evil.  Richard Layle psychic medium.  He says he was woken by a leopard man.  Leaving Dante's book open.  Demon Orsa is a leopard demon: a trickster.  Making people think they're a king or a monster.  Canto 1 in Dante's Inferno.  The first demon he meets is a leopard demon.  It wasn't financial difficulties affecting Harold but evil.  They did the ceremony using an ancient ritual adapted to this house.  Richard says the gates are still open.

Richard is a Satanist and psychic medium and Zak wants to see how the house reacts to him and how he's affected.  Bill Chappell has create goggles.  He wants to do this.  The independent company used, show a 3D rep of the first floor using the liDAR and Slam tech seeing the map in real time.  Catching whatever is there.  Laser scanning tech.  Billy, Zak and Richard will take part in the experiment.  Wearing goggles designed as a sensory deprivation experiment causing sight and hearing to close into an alpha state and connecting to other users.  Richard does the same as Kevin and enters the house alone.  Richard uses ritual items and speaks in ritualistic terminology.  Billy is worried about carrying out the experiment.  A light anomaly comes out of the mirror.  

Richard rings the bell and light anomalies come out of the floor where they conducted their own ritual.  Zak feels his mind is going through the house and he can only see Richard.  He sees someone behind Richard with horns.  Richard asks who's behind him.  Zak imitates Richard's movements without knowing what he's doing.  He was told to stand up by something.  Anomalies behind Richard and he grabs the back of his head.  The full spectrum camera captures a black shadow in front of Richard.  Billy says he had to stop and hears heavy breathing downstairs and tapping on his chair.  Zak sees a young woman crying.  A lucid vision which he knows is the woman he felt emotional over.  He tries to protect her.  She was crying and had curly, brown hair.  As she was being chased by Richard.  Thus channelling Harold when he was attacking Judy.  He believes he was protecting her sister from Harold.  Richard felt threatened that someone was coming upstairs to kill him.  

The lydar team come in to scan the house.  Richard lies down where Harold killed his wife and feeling the moment where he killed himself.  Aaron follows Zak into the room and Zak sees he's got blood on his face.  Richard says he saw the cops during their experiment.  Aaron bumped the chair and went to Zak and was going to drag Zak out of the room.  Billy mentions the chair was also making noises.  Cops actually turn up.  That's when Judy ran away and called the police.  Who had a light when they came.  They leave the house and the lydar team find a "ghost chair."  Zak refers to as a "phantom chair."  Showing them what a real chair would look like.  There's no chair inside the same room of the house.  Comparing the two scans, there is no chair.  Zak said they all sat on the chair and was making noises.  They carry out a third scan.  There isn't any chair in the third scan.  Did Harold start being drawn into the occult by reading Dante's Divine Comedy, was he the fourth person joining their experiment and was this is the fourth chair he sat in during their experiment?

Lots going on and plenty to ponder over.  Especially the dark evil that can possess someone and cause them to do evil things.  As well as being open to such actions.  This was a creepy ep!

Ghost Adventures "Los Feliz Murder House Part 1"


Zak wanted to investigate Los Feliz, California, the site of a murder/suicide which people in LA know about.  They've been afraid of what will happen and it's mysterious why the house has been abandoned as there is something dark inside.  Somebody took over the body of the man who killed his wife, tried to kill his daughter and then killed himself.   He wanted to investigate here for decades.  The house has been shut.  It's been purchased but they are having problems and his workers refuse to enter the house.  Zak feels chilled just being there.  People have passed the road and looked at "the house on haunted hill above it."

6th December 1959, Dr Harold Perelson killed his wife, Lillian with a hammer and then struck his daughter, Judy with the same hammer.  Her younger sister saw her father and he told her to go to bed as it's a nightmare.  Judy was still alive and ran to a neighbour's house for help.  Dr Perelson was dead when the police arrived, after taking pills.  Dante's Divine Comedy was found near his body.  Some claimed he was possessed by evil.  Neighbours, Chris and Don revealed what it's like living next door from them.  Before the house was gutted everyone said this has a bad aura.  His daughter's room has a cage over the door to a balcony of her room only.  Judy was abused and kept in the bedroom as a prisoner.  They knew the former owner of the house below, her best friend.  Rudy Enriquez passed away a few years ago.  His family bought the house and he never lived here.  He came at night to feed the cat and after the cat died, it was stuffed and it was in the bath window.  A bin had old lady's shoes in it.  "A strange vampire type man."  Zak asks what was in the house causing him to do these things.

Since then there have been many owners of the house and no one moved in.  Stacey hosts a podcast, the doctor tried to kill his family showing he was in debt and institutionalized at a hospital.  He was reading The Divine Comedy.  An obsession with the afterlife.  This borders on demonic in Zak's opinion.  She says there is a curse on the ground when California was owned by Spain.  This was given to Jose Feliz and then to whose Don Antonio's niece, Petronela was meant to have gotten the land but didn't get it so she cursed it.  Griffith J Griffith shot his wife.  The original builders of the house only lived here for a short while.  A family member's son got sick and was told by the doctor the house was making his son ill.  The Manson murders took place nearby.  The actual house used in the House on Haunted Hill. Filmed in 1959 and was being filmed whilst the  Perelson's were still here.

Billy catches a photo of what resembled a skeleton hand.  Zak felt something cold energizing the air around them.  He felt a charge.  Jay says he couldn't talk and felt a heart flutter, anxiety and his heart was going to flip.  With shortness of breath.  Aaron is eager to enter.  They could be walking into danger.  Zak says if the devil lives here and is existing in this house with a curse and then he wants him to let them open the door and come in.  They feel the ground shake under their feet.  He feels something blow on his neck.  He asks why he was reading Dante's Divine Comedy and Divine Inferno.  They want to go upstairs where they heard a noise.  They lose track of time and think it's been five minutes but actually an hour.  They obsess over the flashlight and Zak has a smell of sulphur and is hit by the wind again on the back of his neck.  The curtains don't move though.  

The dark energy has affected them physically and mentally.  And they need to carry on with the next step of the investigation.  Zak reads from the Divine Comedy.  Dante in the seventh circle entering the woods of suicide.  The vic was transformed into trees.  Dante breaks a branch of one tree and speaks.  Zak's confused and irritable since he's been in here.  There's something on the stairs.  As he feels the same thing again from the back of the neck.  One hour 27 minutes as though the stairs lead to a dimension he doesn't want to go into.  Zak wants Billy to do an EVP session.  Zak feels ice cold air again.  Billy loses track of where he is.  He asks what he's doing.  Aaron gets irritated and goes upstairs mocking Billy and his cold air comment.  Proves they're not in a proper state of mind.  Jay tells Zak he tried to kick him.  Aaron doesn't know why he's upstairs.

The heavy energy stops them from doing an investigation.  Aaron feels his neck was grabbed.  Billy says he heard a growl.  Aaron leaves and Zak calls him back otherwise he's running away.  Zak says nothing will kill him.  A full sentence is heard on the Polterpod.  "They're using my...real good."  Sounds like there's a missing word and almost sounds like Aaron.  4.1 4.2 on the Trifield.  Zak wants it to talk into the recorder on the chair and asks why Harold did it?   He apologizes to Lillian for having to leave this world at the hands of her husband.  Zak coughs through his respirator.  He feels like something was swallowed by him.  A noise comes from behind the wall.  Something was thrown like a stick.  "I'm gonna f*ck you hear me," or "know what I mean" is captured on the recorder.  Zak cries.  He feels sad.  Aaron suggests they leave and come back with a plan.  Zak refers to the house as a  containment chamber for the souls of vics, killers, why so energized and concealed in this place.  He can't answer.  It's ironic that this haunted house is on top of the hill and then you have the actual house on a haunted hill.  

Zak is ready to go all the way as they won't have this opportunity again.  He wants to open the doors to their dimension but he's willing to risk it.  Kevin Frazier co-host of ET.  Not again!  He joins them investigating.  He talks to a friend of his and said someone went in and they couldn't snap her out of the affect it had on her.  Kevin enters the house without them.  He wants the door locked.  He hears footsteps.  Caught on the X cam.  Sounds like a growl.  He's afraid to go up the stairs and then feels the same as Zak did.  He feels a weight on his back.  Something paranormal is happening around the stairs.  Aaron tells them he had a vision of Billy jumping from the upstairs window.  Billy catches a figure with  the XLS laying on the ground like it jumped out and landed there.  

Using a directional mic Zak asks questions.  Something tells Kevin to go up.  Zak wants Harold to speak.  As well as anything else in the house demanding it to do something.  A figure appears near the chair when Zak tells Harold to speak through the recorder.  A bang is heard upstairs.  An EVP comes through after he tells Harold to admit what happened.  These sounds were captured before the figure appeared.  Zak explains they're going to not conclude this investigation now.  

But they couldn't show it in one go on TV darn it.

Ghost Adventures "Nightmare at the Roxie"

Los Angeles near to the Cecil Hotel and they're here to investigate the mysterious circumstances where a woman slashed her wrists in the Roxie and without the audience realizing.   Christmas Eve 1954 and no one has been able to identify her.  Behind the doors people are afraid to walk into cos of the threats and dangers they experience from not being able to go in.  Zak asks some men from the public if they've been inside it.  One says he's heard of people dying in there.  One of the first things he heard about.  Such as people going in and not coming out.  In 1943  a man Harry Metzger had died in his chair so they couldn't buy their tickets.  

Built 1931 and closed in 1989 and hasn't been used since.  He loves these investigations when the buildings are sealed with the secrets of the past with the lost souls who want to contact them.  He goes through the facts of the woman's death and wants viewers to help them becoming detectives themselves.  A row of seats, a Canadian dollar bill and phone number of cafe receipt were found.  So whose number was it?  After the last show at 5am she was found with both wrists deeply slashed and blood flowed down several rows.  Also found a double edged razor blade she used.  No sound, no one noticed this woman, what were they doing.  They don't know what to expect.  They want to open the "huge gift" they've been given.  "Maybe even from the Devil himself."

Jake takes them inside.  He doesn't feel alone in some parts.  The seal is broken on the theatre and Zak feels as entering into another dimension.  They stand where she slit her wrists.  Why a theatre, not a toilet or somewhere else?  Aaron hears footsteps.  Zak feels there's evil around.  Jake hears footsteps all the time.  He heard a disembodied voice in the toilet saying "hello."  He says he heard the same voice as on the Polterpod "evil."  Was it "evil" or "evening."  She doesn't sound American.  Maybe Brit or speaking through her nose.  Zak gives Jake a recorder to speak with the spirit to give himself closure.  Zak wants the woman to say hello or do something to get their attention.  A voice says something like "...did/hid it"???

Jake takes them to where the hanging suicide occurred.  They don't like it there.  Zak feels exhausted and can hardly stand.  Zak asks if you feel this and a voice comes through on the Polterpod saying "I feel it."  Aaron and Billy investigate the basement and Aaron loses it with the pigeon.  Inside there are more.  Zak says this investigation will be really tense, one of the most intense they've ever done.  He says that a lot.  He feels the effects into the second day.  Billy plays some evidence from the day before.  From the Polterpod, in the hallway and it said "feel it."  They call it an intelligent spirit as it's relating to what Zak said.  Then "Yeah" and this was elongated over several frequencies.  Then a female voice over many frequencies.  "...chance I can help you..."  Also is that another voice under it or interference.  Billy says the final EVP says "Bagans."  I hear "bag it."  There's two voices aren't there, one sounds like "Bagans" and the other sounds like "bag it" too.  Zak adds that when a spirit calls them by name it can lead to a possession.

Billy uses the Paranormal Puck and it says "beside."  Zak feels something in his ribcage and feels cold and numb.  The meter went off.  There was some noise from the stage.  That affected the thermal camera.  It sounded like something rattled the doors.  Billy types on the Paranormal Puck, "memories" comes through as Zak say she has someone to talk to and asks why she did this and what her name is.  They play the audio from the movie *Crossed Swords (1954) he has to ask what it was called.  Bad memory ha.  A ghost light is inside the circle :a lightbulb with a loosely connected DC current.  The audio couldn't be played during the episode due to licensing.  Zak feels like he wanted to cry.  Billysays she said "can" when Zak asks if she can touch the lightbulb.  The lightbulb doesn't get screwed in.  A voice comes through the walkie.  Zak tells her they care about her and her pain.  Something appears on the thermal, an anomaly.  "What is your name."  "Miss" Miss What? "V."  Damn so close and yet no name!

Stand in the centre of the circle.  He saw an anomaly that floated towards the circle.  A black one similar to the one in the Ghost Adventures Housecalls ep. 6  Then he captures it trying to manifest as a stick figure.  They coe to some stairs and he catches a stick figure on the stairs.  Was it recoiling in pain or was it getting high injecting itself.  Zak feels a pain on his right arm as though he's jabbed.  Then reveals a red mark like a syringe mark there.  Zak asks if he got attacked and how the bruise got there?  A voice replies "yes I did."   Zak tells it that it helped him.  Then starts saying "reverse, reverse demand for all doorways, any dimension to be opened to cross into the here and now into this place right now."  Zak feels he's in the basement though he hasn't been there and sends Jay down there.  Where he hears a noise and finds a syringe.  Corresponding to his attack and his connection to the basement.  I didn't hear a crash as Jay says.

An anomaly moves next to Billy as he feels something and then a few more are seen.  Like the dramatic Hitchcock music when the anomalies are shown.  Aaron and Zak argue for no reason.  Billy shushes them and hears a noise.  They freeze and leave to the tension.  Zak asks what three things he just said, Billy says "walk into this realm, walk into this room, walk into our bodies."  Zak dances some crazy seventies dance movement.  Billy says he's channelling spirits here , one does drugs and Zak feels like someone else, his attachment.  That's all he wants to do at this moment.  An X-cam catches an anomaly manifest and vanishes.  A voice comes though .  Will add later when clearer.  A piece of wood falls or is thrown on the stairs.  Zak calls it intelligent Poltergeist activity.  They believe it's the same spirit again on the stairs.

Zak concludes this and their evidence makes this place an area for paranormal research and also for clues into the "hardened questions of our afterlife."  Now stepping into Nick's current area of research re the afterlife in Death Walker.  

*Crossed Swords starred Errol Flynn and Gina Lollobrigida a swashbuckler about a man who fights the medieval law in Italy which states he needs to get married.  This must've had plenty of loud music for her slashing her wrists to be drowned out.  Was she seated alone?  Just added this as it's one which involved swords and thus lots of slashing too.  Did she intend to do it, did she decide whilst watching, though that wouldn't explain the razor blades.  What of the number from the cafe.  Was it really suicide, heck if no one noticed anyone could've done it.  Did she meet someone there?  So many unanswered questions.

Ghost Adventures "Acadia Ranch Sanatorium"


Zak is in Oracle, Arizona on a dead end road - the oracle didn't help him much ha.  Off the beaten track he comes across some guy and a dead end.  Heading to a sanatorium.  He senses it to be a scary investigation in "a very weird and eerie town."  The sun sets on their location and the others are already there.  So why was he d riving alone now when he doesn't usually do that.  Acadia was built in the 1890's as a ranch and boarding house.  So with the onset of TB a new sanatorium in this location was needed for patients.  They usually left after dying.  They were stored in the morgue until they were buried.  There have been reports of attacks by entities here.  No one's here to meet them.  Zak calls John.  A murder's been reported by the tack room that of a little girl.  The energy due to the murder Zak maintains there's no denying the energy oozing from the building.

Kevin tells them the ranch was built and from 1895-1930 it was a TB medical centre.  Previous owners back in 1943 were experiencing activity too so Zak adds there's been decades of activity.  The ranch had beds all around the room.  He shows them the morgue.  Through the kitchen he leads them to a back room.  Zak turns back as Billy and Aaron take EMF readings up to 5.  Zak feels he's being led by something in the centre of that room.  Billy says he looks different.  He feels like they're reclusive and he feels he's walking into their dimension.  There's many spirits here and they have tape over their mouth and they're not being allowed to talk to them.  He's been having the vision of mannequins and he sees one in the corner.

It's contained all the residual feeling, pain.  A child took his father's gun and shot himself.  He was buried on the property.  The list of events that have soaked this structure of vicious events is endless he says.  Jen hates that room and lost her balance, felt sick and as she tried to leave, she felt punched in the back of the head.  He wants her to go back in the room.  She asks why she was attacked last time.  She can feel it here.  Jeff captures something on her shoulder with the XLS as she feels it on her right side.  Zak feels an energy go through him.  A small figure stands on top of Jen and touches her head.  Zak can't go in that room and steps outside.  

Melissa takes them to the maternity shed where women with TB would have their babies.  Zak intimates their fates unknown.  The Tack House where a small child was murdered.  She finds the building is sad.  The babies are buried everywhere behind the building.  She felt contractions when inside and this continued through the night at home.  They say they can have the same feelings others felt here.  They're showing how they felt.  Her pain gives them insight into atrocities of the dark and evil that happened here.  Sometimes locations affect deeply, they connect in a moment in time when they have the same feelings.  He says the difference is the person she connects with died.  Have to be careful cos of other things that lurk in the building that leave you exposed and once you're in that place they grab you and you can't break free.  Something happening on this property that's dark and dangerous.

Billy captures an EVP of something Zak believes is a dominant male spirit keeping the others under control.  I hear things being thrown and hear voices too.  The recorder was left inside the ice box room.  I hear along the lines of "give me your hand...I feel them come for you...a big chunk here and then...I hear them comin...they're after you."   Zak uses the Ovilus and hears "sh, Am Not."  He was connecting it via an intercom as he wanted to speak through it at basecamp.  Jay investigates the cemetery where the little boy is buried.  Jay finds Robert's grave to see if he can make contact.  Nothing is caught.  He gets emotional.  He didn't get back and wasn't seen throughout the rest of the ep.  Zak says they're going to keep talking until they get answers.  Their X camera turns off by itself and then turns on by itself too.  When there's still full battery in it.  

Billy says Zak should go into the morgue.  The Ovilus hasn't changed from the screen.  He says it's like the dominant spirit was speaking to the other spirits telling them not to talk.  How many are here?  "Stay Five."  The laser tracking camera's been set up in the morgue.  Aaron says he's been touched on his shoulder.  Couldn't even listen to the EVP before they speak over it and Zak interrupts saying he can see a man standing there.  Billy says something rushed him.  Billy uses the Polterpod.  Zak speaks to the innocent spirits here.  He apologizes for whatever was being affected them and by the bad spirit.  He wants them to move something.  Footsteps are heard.  Zak tries to communicate with the dominant male spirit.  He asks if he wants to talk to them?  I hear "Listen."  He asks who he is.  "Don" comes through.  When Zak asks if they're allowed to be here does the voice say "limit." 

Zak locks Aaron in the icebox.  Zak says something hit him with a spear and then he turns aggressive.  Zak sees a shadow figure.  A light anomaly is caught disappearing into him.  Aaron does an EVP session and captures a scream.  Billy uses the flashing light balls again which lights up.  When Billy leaves the ball lights up.  Zak is outside and he wants to use his energy and he says everything is clear here.  Like he's crossed too far into their realm.  He says if you looked in the wall and placed plexiglass there and seeing the emotions of pain, screams, crying.

Billy heads back with the XLS.  A figure comes out of the pram.  Karate chopping Billy and vanishes.  Zak says that's the same man.  Aaron can hear them outside and he says the wall shook.  Then sees someone.  The ball lights up.  Zak gets angry when Billy tells him to go into the other room so he can shoot him.  They get angry by the spirit.  Aaron eats as he's starving.  Another light anomaly is caught floating past the table with the ball.  Zak ends by adding there's so much death at every turn, is a sensation that won't leave us.  Maybe it's their duty to help carry this sadness and help set some of the tortured souls free.

Ghost Adventures Special "Devil's Den Special"


 Zak talks of walking on the ground and of the barbed wire fence near him.  He feels violence and torture Los Padrinos Juvenile Hall: "a playground for the deranged or the devil's playground."  AKA The Devil's Den.  A special ep where they enter an abandoned prison.  One of the darkest entities "we've ever faced."  Opened in 1957 where the Hall housed some of LA's most dangerous youths.  From South Central gangs, closed on July 2019.  Suicide and violent deaths between staff and prisoners.  With lost souls imprisoned.  Downey California 2022 marked their most terrible investigation yet.  The guards and inmates don't want to return here, afraid for their lives.  Andy, former gang member explains how they were beaten by guards, teen dying from a chokehold was reported in the papers.  Was sent to his cell and he was upset so started banging on his door.  He opened the door and was punched in the chest from the guard.  In the CD building he has his cell and he refuses to go in there.  Terrified of what is in there.  He changes his mind.  No one would dare to enter here. 

He finds a chair with his name, or was it someone else's.  Zak: "we're experiencing things we cannot explain."  Jeff tells Billy he saw someone walk past the window in the SHU building which is locked.   'Special Handling Unit' SHU.  They're taken in the building by the guard, Jarett and Jeff explains what he saw.  Jarrett worked there.  The building was for children harming, suicidal, he cut down sheets of potential suicide victims.  His bosses called it 'Devil's Den'.  They saw black shadows in their rooms.  Walter worked in the juvenile hall.  He was seen in the building but it wasn't him.  Jarett believes in ghosts and has seen them since he was little.  The inmates heard voices and spoke in tongues, persuaded to do these things.  Some made pentagrams with their own blood.  Climbing on bed, windows etc.  (See later with Jay.)

In one of the rooms, 10 and 20, were the rooms where he saw devil worshipping by the inmates.  Or it could be vice versa, as Zak says.  He feels something strange in the hallway.  The Trifield metre spikes and the toilet flushes by itself.  The toilets had some mad activity.  He calls these their "downward spiral into total chaos."  Jeff returns inside.  He feels the same heavy weight of this room.  Zak says not to go in there by himself.  Which falls on deaf ears as he heads back in later.  

The Infirmary was the most dangerous and a youth committed suicide there as Walter explains.  Something wonders around like a lost soul.  Room 20 where Jeff was found is where most of the devil worshipping took place.  He felt cold as soon as he got in.  Jarett says the hair on his arms stood up as soon as he walked in.  Zak has a fit of rage as Billy gets spikes of multiple energy.  Zak walks away.  Jarett asks "who's here?" on the spirit box.  Zak feels the wall with his hand, rubbing it up and down.  Is there anything it wants to tell them?  It replies "death."  Zak mentions the children being possessed.  Jeff returns again, found in room 20, which they pass.  Zak smells something rotten as soon sas he opens the door.  Adding Jeff looks like a caged animal.  Zak is taken over by some energy negative and Jay holds him back.  He runs out.  Lauren tells Billy about him and the wall and waving to someone.

Zak surmizes the place feels like it was shut down yesterday and the guards/inmates were afraid of what they're feeling now.  As he says this, his eyes look like he's affected, teary almost.  Accusations of sexual abuse, violence.  Which makes the place different and the negativity is strong.  They speak with Ned, another former inmate with his disturbing experiences with spirits and what he calls demons.  He was here between 2002-2007.  Nothing could have prepared him for what he did here.  A volunteer who doesn't want to identified (though you can still make out her face) tells them she was on the girl's unit.  They wanted to speak and spoke of the guard who watched them in the showers.  They were assaulted.  No one would listen to them and that's why they didn't tell anyone.  She says the guards were possessed and how can their have treated the inmates how they did. 

"This place has taken a part of me and it's something that I can't get back" Ned adds.  In tears.  The paranormal aspect left him with questions.  He was being attacked by dark entities/demons.  Ned needs to enter the building for some form of closure.  He wants to go upstairs but then ends up in room 20.  Zak wonders why here?  Ned is drawn here.  He recalls what happened.  The cell is the 'epicentre' of the activity.  Zak tells him he was guided here and was being affected.  Zak hears a voice down the hall.  Didn't hear it.  As well as seeing something black on the ceiling.  He feels being watched from all around.  Thinks he's been driven crazy.  Upstairs Ned take them to room 13 (yikes) where he was badly affected.  He was told he'd never leave and he was "theirs".  Always feeling dark and cold.  He'd see shadows.  He says there were demons and pure evil.  He prayed a lot.  He'd bang on the door and he wouldn't be helped.  Drawn to the window, he now realizes the church was on that side.

Ned knows he wasn't crazy and many others like him and there were labelled as having mental health problems.  He and a lot of others didn't belong here.  The volunteer is happy this is being broadcast and they now will probably still have nightmares about this place.  Ned "they took my peace from me."  It still affects him.  Others don't have anything to look forward to and not being helped but given medication.  So the staff knew what was happening but they still subjected the inmates to the mental health issues and treatment, many of them didn't even have.  Were they possessed, just didn't care or didn't want to be thought of as insane too.

Zak was deeply disturbed by the events of the previous night.  Aaron stands by the chapel which was Ned's only saviour.  Making him stronger than most due to his faith.  Somewhere to turn to.  When the guards fear the dark entities.  Zak was emotional and he had marks on his left and right shoulder areas.  Being marked with whatever is inhuman.  Changing you forever.  Which is what Ned said.

Night 1 investigation.  Billy found some EVPs.  Ned was crying cos of demons and the recording in the CD ward during the interview with Andy.  "The pain and misery."  "I live here, I did suffer pain."  Jay took photos in the shower room in the SHU building where he catches a dark shadow in one of the showers.  C&D Building and SHU building is their focus on the first night.  Zak saw someone with a flashlight in the building.  A crash is heard.  Zak enters the building with his XLS camera.  Aaron and Billy enter the C&D Building.  Whoever you are and whatever you are he calls them out.  A small figure is seen in the doorway leading him upstairs at least.  He asks why he's here alone - as he usually sends Aaron.  Jarett felt some kid of presence in the stairway.  Zak hears a noise and Jay takes the boom mic in.  Yeah only cos Zak didn't want to be alone.  Zak appears to lose balance or feels he was pushed.

In cell 13 he sits down with the XLS.  Jay goes to the bathroom where he captured the black mass and a tapping is heard, scaring him and causing him to run.  Zak thinks they shouldn't be provoking it and going this far, as an afterthought.  Jay hears a voice in the hallway.  "Here" it sounds like to me.  Then Zak hears the voice too and a tapping is heard from the window behind him.  He's getting dark thoughts in his head.  At 48.08 a breath is heard that Jay says is a growl.  Jay asks if Zak's okay.

Aaron turns on the ITC device and hears a "hello."  A female hello also comes through.  Got a lot of female voices coming through.  Aaron feels like something touched his vest and pulled it up.  Sounds like "you're right" comes through agreeing with Aaron.  Aaron wants the dark energy to talk.  "Hey."  See another female.  Billy asks who was talking and Aaron becomes angry telling him to 'shut up.'  A voice repeats "shut up" too.  Billy becomes angry and makes a fist and wanted to punch Aaron after telling him to shut up.  It's the place making them like that.  Pitting them against each other.  Aaron feels they're surrounded by spirits.  When they leave a black mass hovers by the phone and then hovers above it before disappearing.

At the SHU building they see Jay and Zak at odds with mostly Zak being enraged.  Billy hesitates in going any further.  Jay looks for Zak and he's sitting outside by the wall.  His eyes look strange.  Zak can't recall what happened.  He says he lost time.  After the tapping the room went cold.  Jay says he couldn't move as well.  Jay tells him he's stronger and Zak shouts "it took it from me...it took everything fro me."  That's what Ned said earlier.  Jay tells him to let it go and to let him go.  Billy calls to him and they're disturbed and they don't recognize Aaron and Billy.  Billy says he felt he needed to come here from the other building.  Zak sends them away as he doesn't want to be around them.  

Aaron moves from Billy.  Aaron feels like they're the evil ones and he's the only sane one here.  He's seeing things around him.  Zak says they're okay and next minute something goes inside of him.  Losing track of everything.  On the infrared time lapse camera they capture a moving dark mass, like something rushing past turning a corner.  The third one caught.  Zak calls them to go to cell 20.  On the Polterpod a female comes through.  "It likes you" is what I hear.  There's another female voice underneath this one saying: "stay, say" something like that.  In the room, Billy feels and looks weird and as Zak and Aaron argue over Zak wanting him to get more equipment.  Billy takes the plastic bag and rolls it noose like.  He wanted to strangle Aron with.  A light anomaly is caught.  They spend 30 minutes looking for each other, without knowing each other.  Zak turns up holding a plastic chair.  Probably also why they must've had plenty of riots in the Hall.

Jay tells Zak it wasn't him in the night.  It was real and disturbing.  What happened to them happens every day and making it the Devil's Den.  On the second night they decide what to do.  Their contact told them of the mysterious circumstances  surrounding the demise of the staff.  A female died in the stalls due to an anueryseum.  A guard had a heart attack and paramedics weren't allowed to enter to save him.  Was it the dark entity?  Jarett was traumatized by it.  They answered what caused all this last night.  Tonight they're investigating the infirmary and Jay is left in the J building.  It was the SHU building before the SHU was built.  It's a bad place.  Wouldn't it be safer to have had someone with him.  He really needed two with him.

In the infirmary a motion activated camera detects something after it taps the camera and the camera moves.  A 360 tracker cam will detect motion.  The laser goes off.  Something moved in the hallway.  Something moves and the camera moves round the corner into one of the rooms.  Zak wants to speak with the staffer who brought the planchette into the building.  Aaron rolls a lighted ball down the hallway and it vanishes.  They can't find it and see it in a room.  Thus it would've had to turn the corner by something moving it or picking it up.  An anomaly falls down and touches the ball before making a 90 degree turn.  Zak lies down and doesn't feel well.  The tracker cam moves and follows something into a cell.  Aaron feels something go through him.  

As Zak rolls the recorder down the hallway a light is seen.  They call it a mist.  Aaron feels a head pain and tastes menthol in his mouth.  Using the XLS  Zak captures a figure in the room in one of the cells as though it's in its last moments.  Was this the suicide Vic possibly.  It vanishes and appears again briefly.  Aaron says he feels violated with the spirit waking though.  The first time he's felt like this. The APF Processor is used and Zak asks if it wants to talk to him.  I hear "help" not "yeah."  Zak asks its name.  I hear "I'm Michael" then something else and then "ask him."  Aaron and Billy head to the other side of the building and a woman's voice says "are you Freddy or ready" after Aaron asks what they should do?  

Zak disappears so they head out.  Zak had an experience but wasn't possessed.  He says he's fine.  Felt like he was watching someone die in the cell.  Billy asks if the walkie's on and Zak says why he's trying to say that.  As he's taking away all the attention of Zak being affected.  Yeah cos it's all about you! Jay calls on the walkie!!  Billy heard it in his head Jay's in trouble.  Billy gets worked up and tells Zak to answer him.  Jay is on the ground and he hits something and struggles before asking for help.  One of them affected and not said anything.  Zak doesn't let him back in.  They go inside with the thermal still camera to where Billy and Aaron got the female voice.  There's some sort of a hovering blue figure caught.  Without legs.  

This place forever had a mark on them and the inhuman entities have infested this place.  Their stories will haunt them forever.  Zak says they believe Ned when no one else did.  Adding no one should have to live in darkness and that it will carry on festering here.  

Jay says it's like a prison having its own wall.  "J in the Jay building."  Well he experienced it all right.  In cell 6 he puts the recorder on the floor and using the Ovilus he gets "meet" and asks if it was scary for him in here?  "Yes."  "Hug" comes through and "beat."  Jay captures a light anomaly.  Then hears a crashing sound.  He feels the vibe changing.  Which is how he ended up on the floor silent.  

Coincidence or not but the next morning after this ep aired in the US I had a dream with all of the GAC.  Right down to Billy wearing a T-shirt.  I know he usually does a lot unless it's cold or something whereas the others wear jackets/hoodies a lot.  He was filming and something was affecting Zak.  Then Jay gave me something saying I should try it.  Some sort of liquid and then said it was something like boiled blood and I had to run and rinse my mouth out. Yuk!  Was plenty long but sometimes (funnily enough I remember all my GA/Zak dreams) this one was rather short!  I don't know why I had this dream as I wasn't even thinking of watching the ep as we don't get it in the UK til a week later, so it's pot luck whether I can watch it beforehand.  

Anyhoo just thought I'd add this even if no one's interested.  Since Zak et al were affected in this ep.  I always used to say how Jay doesn't get affected when the others do, most of the time, by anything for some reason.  Then when he was left on his own he was.  I don't know why Zak wanted him to investigate alone re previous night's events.  Since he didn't appear to have any ulterior Zak 'possessed' motives.  Also since they hadn't been in that building before.  But it was uncanny how the messages he got on the Ovilus also led to something dark overtaking him.  No wonder that voice needed hugs.  It's also what Jarett said about the inmates knocking on windows, standing on the bed, banging on the doors.  This is what Jay's pictured to be doing also on camera footage.

What an episode!!
