Ghost Adventures, the Travel Channel series I love to hate is back with new episodes. All set to be irritated, I sat down for the season premiere waiting with bated breath for the rude antics of Zak Bagans and crew. I have to say, they must have mellowed since last season.
Sure, Zak still carried a leather whipping strap around with him and threatened the Juvenile delinquents and young criminals with his "new supervisor"y techniques, but all in all, I would have expected worse from him.
The location was great.
Preston Castle in California, an old abandoned and decrepit facility had plenty of personality and the prerequisite shady past. Not only were young offenders apparently mistreated and some died under mysterious circumstances, one of the most active spirits haunting the place is said to be the spirit of a house keeper whose brutal murder on this site was never solved.
After a tour by a local ghost hunting leader, the team unnecessarily "locked" themselves into the establishment and began collecting evidence of both auditory and physical manifestations.
There were some scratches, and some really far fetched EVP translations, but the creepiest thing about this episode was the supposed possession of Zak himself.
I have to say, I liked the kinder, gentler more possessed Zak, who inexplicably began to hum, smirk and communicate with the female housekeeper from the past. Eerie and yet not fully developed in the episode, we never see him actually come out of the trance like state, but obviously later we see him donning his trademark dumbass hat, so apparently he's back to normal.
All in all this episode was worth watching for both the fruitful location and the apparent possession. If you missed the premiere episode check out highlights online at the Ghost Adventures website or watch your travel channel listings for repeated episodes.

hi
ReplyDeletethis type of adventure with ghosts I love my friends and I always liked this kind of event!
ReplyDeleteI really believe in this kind of events because In many cultures malignant, restless ghosts are distinguished from the more benign spirits involved in ancestor worship. 23jj
ReplyDeleteThis is show is amazing in featuring America's scariest places. I commend Zach and team for really going out there and investigate paranormal activity! Great job!
ReplyDeleteMy wife and I watched the show about Preston Castle. After going to bed I kept thinking that it looked like I had seen it before.
ReplyDeletein the middle of the night I got up and dug out a picture of my Father and Grandmother from nineteen forty seven. standing in front of the Castle. The only thing that I knew about the picture was that he had been a bad boy and was sent away to a school...
I think the song Zach was humming when he was still possessed was Again by Doris Day 1949 or Vaughn Monroes song Say it Again 1935. Thoughts???
