TV: Ghost Adventures

Posted by C.Locke / at 1:04 AM / /

To kick off this fabulous month of October (which by the way if you didn't realize or know, has 5 Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays and won't happen for another 823 years, crazy I know) one of my best friends introduced me to what is now one of my favorite shows. Unlike Ghost Hunters, the cast of Ghost Adventures actually believe in the paranormal, and give you results then and there. Believer or not, the show is still intense, at points humorous (well, duh, it's 3 guys provoking ghosts, shit's bound to happen...) and of course entertaining. The cast consists of Zak, Nick, and Aaron, and the first part of the show is them interviewing eyewitnesses and historians of the place they are at. I like that they give you a detailed background and history of the places they go to. Also they don't pick boring places really, they go for the ones with the reputations of being very haunted with lots of activity. After they interview everyone, they mark the spots they are going to visit, then have themselves locked in the building from dusk til dawn (who does that? Guys that are crazy, that's who, and that's a reason why this show is awesome). The first episode I saw was when they went to Rolling Hills Asylum in New York, and after that I was hooked. They go to places most others don't, such as Poveglia Island in Italy (another intense episode), and Waverly Hills, etc. You can find this show on the Travel Channel. Check them out here.
