Not Your Typical Ghost TV Show..

Happy Wednesday..Hump Day to all my ANGELS.  Hope you're week is going well..and everyone has something good going on for the long weekend.  Today's blog dives into the paranormal side of my personality.  Here's some thoughts on something else you may not know about me..as I absolutely love this stuff.

Ghost Adventures first made their way to our living rooms with a documentary that originally aired on SyFy three years ago. Zak Bagans, Nick Groff and Aaron Goodwin traveled to Goldfield, Nevada to investigate the old Goldfield Hotel. The hotel has a lot of paranormal history and is of a lot of interest to ghost hunting investigators.

There are stories that a man was killed in an elevator shaft and of a woman who became pregnant by her lover then being chained to a radiator heater left to die. Her child was born and was reportedly thrown down a mine shaft. The smell of perfume and cigars has also been reported. In addition, people have reported being shoved on the fourth floor.

While Nick was in the ballroom, an full-bodied apparition was caught on camera. The apparition appeared to be following Nick. After a specialist studied the video footage, he said it was authentic - there was no evidence of tampering. This evaluation only served to give these three credibility as well as credibility to the field of ghost hunting.

Perhaps the most notable event took place in the basement..

Zak and Nick were investigating the basement of the Grandfield and when they got to one of the rooms, a brick was launched into the air with great force and speed. Chaos ensued when Nick and Zak began running away and becoming separated. Zak called out for Nick over and over again but there was no answer. As fans hear Zak's continued calls, a disembodied voice can be heard near Nick saying his name, "Nick."

This documentary is what propelled the guys to fame. Fans were captivated by what they were seeing and the show left us wanting more. Most importantly, it provided the best evidence by far that the paranormal do exist.

Not Your Typical Ghost TV Show..

Ghost Adventures which airs on the Travel Channel took awhile to grow on me. Now in their third season, I think they've taken over from the venerable champs, Ghost Hunters.

The small team of Ghost Adventures is part of the success of the show. They go into purportedly haunted places and self-document their investigation. Since there is no camera crew following them around, the mood of the environment gets creepy quick.

A fair amount of the show is dedicated to the research of the haunted site. During the walkthrough's the team places X's on alleged hot spots.

Why can't those paranormal shows ever catch anything significant on TV? Not entirely true.

Entering into the realm of the paranormal has always been ever so fascinating to me. For many years now, I have followed up on every television series which depict the world of the paranormal. I love the hauntingly unexplained and can't get enough of it! So, it comes as no surprise that I watch Ghost Adventures, Ghost Hunters and Paranormal State religiously. But Ghost Adventures stands alone now.

I was immediately hooked from the moment I saw the first episode! And why wouldn't I? The show has every element you can ask for in a ghost series. The suspense, the unknown, the remarkable guerrilla style footage, the evidence, validity and PASSION that Ghost Hunters has lacked for sometime. While Ghost Hunters do their monotonous job like a 9 to 5'r with a camera crew feasible for the taping of the Oscars. Are these actors or investigators? How do they ever expect to find any evidence anymore, with so many unnecessary bodies obstructing any possible findings? Makes me think if the entire show is scripted and/or staged altogether.

The reason that Ghost Adventures works and Ghost Hunters or Paranormal State no longer does, is that the
drive for the unknown is what keeps Zak, Aaron and Nick hungry for more, therefore, the viewer is anticipating that bite.


Do like to walk on the paranormal side?  Let me know..
