Ghost Adventures

Ah, the Ghost Adventures Team. Arguably the best crew on TV. In 2004 they got some of the most compelling evidence of a brick literally lifting off the ground and flying at high speed through the air. This occurred at the Goldfield Hotel in Goldfield Nevada.

Zak Bagans and Nick Groff started this adventure together. They then hired Aaron Goodwin as a camera tech. What separated these guys from the pack is there were no camera crews, they very rarely use flashlights, and they literally stay on-site from dusk until dawn. The only way they can see is night-vision from their digital video cameras, peering through the LCD screen.

Due to his popularity for the faces he makes when something paranormal happens, Aaron has since become part of the investigative crew. These 3 guys have mostly given these investigations everything they have, and are on the cutting edge as far as using new equipment. And by spending the night, they usually get something. You have to realize that to do an hour show, you have to have something to show or hear. A lot of times they may only get a minute and a half of actual evidence. That leaves a lot of time to fill. But these guys can be really funny, and in no way is it hard to watch.

Episodes to watch for are the ones from Bobby Mackey's in Wilder, Kentucky. I think they have been there twice. I do believe they are never going back. They were followed home by something or someone. Called the 'Gates of Hell," Bobby Mackey's is one scary place. If you don't believe in ghosts, I'd suggest a visit. There is evil lurking there. Aaron's marriage recently ended, and he is blaming things that have followed him home. Even people in the production side have experienced haunting's of their own homes.

While I recommend all of the episodes these guys have put out, the last 3 "new" episodes have been best of type of shows. The best haunted hotels, the best haunted hospitals, etc. Kind of disappointing if your a fan. I'd also like to say that I feel Nick has lost his desire. I think he has been through hell at times, and this year he doesn't seem to be in the game. It would be sad to lose him, but I would understand if he quit the show. I don't know if they have run out of places to go, if their budget has been cut or what, but most of the shows from 2012 were a bust.

So, I recommend all the early episodes up to about number 90. I think they are at about 95 in episode numbers. Also, you have to see the brick flying in the 2004 documentary. It is quite unreal. Probably can be found on You Tube. Maybe they need to step back and catch their breath. It's been quite a ride for these three guys, and maybe enthusiasm has waned. I do hope not, but considering that things have followed them home, maybe they have had enough. They have captured more evidence than any TV crew. These guys have become pros right before our eyes, and I wish them the best if indeed they have had enough.

Their show can be seen on the Travel Channel on Fridays at 9pm Eastern. That is when new shows are supposed to run, but they show reruns on Fridays also, and also Saturday's from 7pm to about 1am. I say give them a try. Watch the faces Aaron makes before he's about to crap his pants. These guys are the tops as far as TV shows about the paranormal goes. Their Ghost Adventures have become OUR Ghost Adventures.
