Ahhhmazing show!
This show is incredible! It is by far one of the more believable onesthat are on TV and it makes you feel like you are there when they dothe interviews! It is easy to keep up with and the three guys areabsolutely hilarious! Every Friday night me and a group of friends goesout of the way in order to watch this show, we have a big party and wealways are just speechless at the end of the show! The guy in charge,Zak Bagans, is just really real and good at this he found what he wasmeant to do and he does it well! Nick Groff is the one who is able totake a step back and keep things in a clear picture for the audience!Aaron Goodwin is good because you know it is real by the way he reacts!The three of these guys have the most amazing chemistry and it makesfor an enjoyable show! If you haven't seen it you have to watch it andif you have you understand exactly what i am saying!!

They almost had me!!!
Well, I'll admit it, I fell for it the first 2 episodes and wasthrilled over this show. I thought Zak was okay I didn't mind him butdid think that he was over re-acting to things, only to find out on thethird episode (the asylum) that he was over acting not re-acting andwas a bit bummed out. However, all is not lost, this show is stillentertaining and a bit scary even though it's fake. I realized afterthat so called hand try to grab him (lol) that this was NOT real andthat what they found at the Sloss Boiler was in fact faked and wasdisappointed. I really like the cast, Aaron and Nick are cool guys andif Zak takes it down a notch with the over acting then he's not bad towatch either.Well, it's still a good show to watch but it's no better than MostHaunted and Ghost Hunters as far as reality goes....staged, faked, etc.but definitely one of the best.

The Worst of the Ghost Hunting Shows
This is the worst among all the reality TV ghost hunting shows. Firstof all it is not scientific in any manner. They do not practiceobjectivity in investigations. They always come into a place, acceptingas fact whatever hearsay of paranormal activity is reported. They comein with their conclusions and just are searching for such experiences.One example is the investigation in Bobby Mackee's place. The leaderkeeps on speaking of the well as being a portal of hell where demonicspirits use to come in. 1. What is his basis that the well is theportal? 2. What is his basis that, if it is a portal, that it is tohell? 3. What is his basis to say that the spirits are demonic? 4. Evenmore basic than that, what is his basis to say there are spirits? -Totally, unscientific sensationalism. If they were there toinvestigate, then one begins with questions and not conclusions.Furthermore, there is this part where he whips out the EMF meter tomeasure spirit activity in the bathroom area. He didn't even take abaseline reading to start with to find out if the area is inherentlyhigh with EMF. Also, in the same episode, they point out to body hairstanding as signs of the presence of spirits. What is the basis forsuch a statement? Extremely irresponsible to neglect the more obviousphysiological causes of one's skin hair standing. in other words, thesepeople believe any story they hear, take it as fact, then enter into alocation trying to find anything to justify the story. The conclusionbegins before the investigation.At least other shows have some sense of science and objectivity. Someother shows actually INVESTIGATE and even try to debunk rather than dowhat this show does.

Riviera Hotel Shark Jump?
Hey, I've been a regular viewer for a few years. They don't usually getany compelling evidence of ghosts, but I always tune in every week tosee if this is one of the few times they will.Recently, I thought it was pretty bad when they heard a slight blip ontheir ghost radio and made it out to be Johnny Cash saying, "I do".Even worse when they took it in for voice analysis and LO AND BEHOLD itwas an exact match of Johnny Cash's recorded voice! stupid, or justplaying the viewers for stupidBut this latest episode at the Riviera Hotel with aging burnt outrocker Vince Neil, and his gaggle of groupies was really pathetic.Maybe this show has "jumped the shark".

I'm torn...
between wanting to laugh at and being seriously intrigued by this show.When these guys really get into this I feel like I'm watching Bill andTed's Excellent Ghost Hunting Adventure. "Dude! Dude! Did you hearthat? Whoa!". I think that a lot of what goes on here is them (inparticular Zac) reacting to their environment. Also the creativeediting that is done afterward emphasizes a great deal. Despite that,there are moments when I feel they are actually making contact with theother side. Since I can't be sure that anything is real here, I can only judge thison entertainment value. For that I can say it is truly entertaining.With the music, editing, and graphics used it's truly an awesome ridethrough the paranormal.

Why bother debunking?
This show is very good when you need a really big laugh. These castfreak over everything they hear or see. Last night i watched this showand could not stop laughing. I thought Zak Nick and Aaron were way toserious. It seemed every noise they heard they thought it wasparanormal. I've watched ghost hunters and they seemed moreprofessional and they are very good at debunking. This show is horribleat debunking and being professional, like i said last night i watchedit they thought this noise was a moaning and clearly it was an owl. Zakand his crew need to calm down.They can make you laugh and smile, butthey will not scare you.overall I gave this 5 stars because it wasentering funny not scary and exciting.

Original documentary was watchable... TV show gets tedious...
The original documentary Ghost Adventures is much more entertaining andmore interesting than the TV series on the Travel Channel. The TV showis tedious, overly dramatic and difficult to follow through the wholehour. Because this a documentary follows more of the documentary makersmore than the subject matter is not good. The guys involved are toomelodramatic for anyone to take this show with serious consideration asa level of entertainment or even want to believe what they are doing isvalid. The investigative concept is the right one to take, but not inthe direction they are taking it. It's like Most Haunted, but at leaston that show they are honestly fake right up front.

Pros and Cons
My first reaction upon seeing the commercial for the series premiere onthe Travel Channel was: "Oh, great. Not another ghost-hunting show!"Initially, I thought, "Okay, there's a cocky buff guy (perhaps onsteroids) with a big ego who wants publicity and likes to show off hisbiceps." But after a while, I feel that the ghost-hunting trio is moreentertaining and more worthy of being nationally televised and watchedthan either British women screaming (Most Haunted) or another boringgroup barely getting anything (Ghost Hunters).Obviously, the primary reason we viewers watch these paranormalprograms is to see to believe. Having seen these shows as well asmaterial posted on the Internet, I believe that ghosts/spirits of thedead (and thus the afterlife) are plausible. I am agnostic about theexistence of the afterlife and ghosts. With that said, I am alsouncertain that any of the unexplainable phenomena the crew captured onvideo (including full-bodied apparitions, shadow people, mists, movingobjects, and physical harm and possessions) are actual. On average, Isee two (2) visual phenomena captured per episode/investigation. But asalways, it's up to us to decide. As for the shallow and narrow-mindedskeptics, especially those hardcore and lazy ones, I highly recommend(as any paranormal enthusiast would) that they spend hours atreportedly haunted local places and experience whatever happens forthemselves. A Gallup poll conducted in 2005 shows that 3/4 of Americansbelieve in something paranormal; whereas, 1/3 (32%) believe in theexistence of ghosts, and 37% in haunted properties.All in all, their investigations seem rather fruitful in pursuingvisual and auditory "evidence" to prove that ghosts, and thus theafterlife, exist (and that witnesses aren't crazy). Being apparentlyenthusiastic and emotional, the crew experiences and documents more(apparently real) incidents than TAPS from Ghost Hunters and any othercompeting show that I know of, which have faulty camera crews andall-too-brief vigils that last only a few hours. Despite TAPS's more"professional" approach, TAPS rarely receives any evidence and is tooboring to watch; whereas, GAC is much more entertaining and capturesthe most phenomena, spending an entire night (10±2 hours) at eachplace. Indeed, Ghost Adventures got so much stuff that anti-AdventuresHunters fans find their evidence hard to believe and suspect that it'sfake. Moreover, their televised 2006 documentary filmed in 2004 (duringtheir amateur days) has received several awards, including the 2006Grand Jury Prize for Best Documentary at the NYIIFVF. After the airingof the "walking apparition" and "flying brick" in the film, TAPS seemsto follow wherever GAC first went: the Old Washoe Club in VirginiaCity, NV and the Goldfield Hotel in Goldfield, NV. The trio may bescared more easily, but maybe fear increases paranormal activity.Having read feedback comments on various websites, including IMDb, Ifind that haters and hard-headed viewers are criticizing the show tooseriously. Ghost Adventures Live at the Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylumin Weston, West Virginia was the best live televised ghost hunt I'veever seen so far. For me, neither Most Haunted Live nor Ghost Hunters:Live Halloween Countdown even compare to GAL's higher level ofinteractivity. The trio has even publicly investigated some places withfans and enthusiasts alike. Those who seriously dislike this rarelyboring show really need to chill. They could have at least enjoyed(rather than overlook) the entertaining moments of spontaneous humor,such as their overreaction and three body types. Where else can you seea trio of buff, thin, and fat guys all in one show? The hatersshouldn't be taking it too seriously; there's no need to be allnegative. Geez, no sense of humor, which is very much needed.Sure, I do agree that ex-skeptic Zak (born 1977) can sometimes beannoying, irritating, obnoxious, overrated, cheesy, lame, egotistic,and verbally repetitive. Since he and Nick take part in the editing, heis responsible for making himself look that way. To me, the alpha maleis a better narrator than either a host or lead investigator. I thinkhe tries to act tough to make up for running from the brick in theGoldfield Hotel and from the Virginia City cemetery. But wouldn'tanyone be scared in a creepy, dark, haunted place? Zak was a DJÂmaybethat explains his attitude. Is it just me, or is married Nick (born1980) getting mellower since Season 1? The youngest member, he seems tobe the coolest and most mature. And who cannot love that Aaron (born1976)? The oldest member, he's so cuddly, bubbly, and funny. Is it justme, or is he losing a little weight and fear? Who would ever forget hisfright face after hearing the EVP in the miners' cabin? I can't helpbut say to myself, "Poor Aaron!" He cracks me up every time.FYI: Throughout the series, Zak and Nick keep incorrectly saying"(electronic voice) phenomenons" instead of "phenomena." Also, Zak andAaron like to say "dude," and Aaron gasps with a laughable facialexpression and often shouts, "Whoa, my God!" LOL!So far to me, Ghost Adventures is the most artistic, entertaining, andfruitful ghost-hunting TV series. Destination Truth (2007Âpresent) andGhost Adventures are my top two most entertaining paranormal TV shows.Scariest Places on Earth (2001Â06) looks and sounds like the mostoriginal paranormal reality TV series. Overall, I give the show 8/10(4/5) stars.
I-Luv-Movies (09 May 2012)
Great paranormal entertainment, "dude!"
I'm a huge fan of paranormal television programs and this one has gotme hooked! The team locks themselves in some of the most haunted placesovernight but first will spend a little time in the town learning aboutthe location and the people there. Even though I feel the trio (Zak,Nick, and Aaron) could do more "debunking" when it comes to many thingsthat occur, this show is raw and is sure to win over the skeptic in you(at least with some of the evidence). You'll find many of theirreactions during lockdown humorous. The three can overdo it a bit. Yousee their raw reactions...no scripts. Be prepared for somebleeping...these boys hold nothing back...and also hearing the word"Dude" at least a hundred times. I wholeheartedly suggest you checkthis program out. It pulls you in, regardless if you love them or hatethem. You won't be able to wait for the commercials to be over.

Ignorant as hell but entertaining as well
I think that sums it up, much of Zak's theories are really silly.Physical sensations as evidence are easily recreatable psychosomaticsymptoms easily recreatable and intensified by the sensory confusion ofdarkness, also when Zak mentions that the fire in Virginia Citydestroyed the tombstones so the dead had no name which would make themnot at rest, that's quite possibly the stupidest thing he's ever said.Why? Because when you're dead, you give up your name, your name is notyou, you return to you in your purest form, your name getting erased bya fire in the physical world would have absolutely no effect on you asa spirit.Again, I love the show, but Zak is ignorant, I mean we all are to someextent, but man he's funny... I love the show but you really have gotto take what is said with a grain of salt because they mostly don'tknow what the hell the're talking about.Most haunting experiences tend to happen in the day, but they do theirlockdowns in darkness which serves no purpose other than to confuse thesenses, create false positives, I wonder if they really believe whatthey're saying, or if they really understand how silly they sound? Ilove how open minded Zak comes off on the show, but he also comes offas ignorant because he doesn't really have a scientific mind toquestion his own theories or test them.

Interesting, often terrifying
I had sampled a number of reality haunted location shows in the past,such as Britain's "Most Haunted," and found them generally unappealing.Several of late have been more interesting, and "Ghost Adventures" isone of them.The formula for each show is similar - a team of paranormalinvestigators spends time in a purportedly haunted location in thehopes of capturing evidence of activity, whether audio, video,personal, or other experiences. Much infrared and night vision camerawork ensues, with many dramatic moments and even a few expletives.Afterwards their footage is reviewed and replayed to note any unusualanomalies, like EVPs, "orbs," noises, or occasional visual phenomenaincluding apparitions.Since I have a great interest in history, the highlight of the show forme is the fact that the crew visits a wide variety of localesthroughout the United States that have long and storied pasts. Most ofthem are unknown to me, boosting my interest substantially. The hostdoes a fine job of providing background for the locale and the purposesof the many rooms or buildings within, not to mention possible reasonsfor the hauntings. Some of the locales are buildings which have beenlong abandoned, and are private property not opened to the public. Muchof the furniture, layout, and years of dust are preserved for all tosee.The supernatural phenomena captured by the crew is fascinating, andoften disturbing. The show relies on the trust and belief of the viewerto convey the fear and drama, and unfortunately much of what we seecould be explained or reproduced with special effects technology. Buteven if the supernatural phenomena could be explained away, there is acertain ambiance to large, spooky, and historic buildings that is initself fear inspiring.There are a few flaws that sometimes detract from the experience. Theinvestigators themselves do not carry themselves as professionals, andare apparently amateurs. Although they are brave to spend the night insuch places, the show oftentimes reminds me of a juvenile dare, asopposed to a serious investigation. The host can often be downrightobnoxious, and his antics sometimes cut into the atmosphere of thesurroundings. The focus for the crew is to create tension, and theyclearly inject drama in an attempt to make the show more interesting tothe audience. This is all right, but for me further reduces theircredibility as investigators.In the end, though, the show's strong points make up for its flaws inmy opinion. I will always try to catch it whenever possible, and findit to be generally fascinating and terrifying.

They're not afraid of no ghosts!
I have to say that I have watched Ghost Adventures before but I watchedthe Halloween special where they spent seven hours in a closed asylumat the Trans-Allegheny Asylum in Weston, Virginia. I have to say that Idon't see much because of the footage. Now, they film in the dark butthey use special lights. I don't like their attitudes towards theghosts. They seem to come across as aggressive rather than friendly.They come across arrogant at times when they should be moreunderstanding. They are too busy listening for a one sound or proof oftheir existence. I wished that they spent their time being productivein sending the ghosts home to the afterlife. It doesn't make sense tokeep them suspended in the earth and dealing with a trio of ghosthunters. Of course, the ghosts react aggressively and nasty towardstheir visitors. They are unwelcome in their habitat and don't make aneffort in sending them home to the light.

"Did you hear THAT!? OMG did you HEAR That!?? "
"... I mean it was like a girl screaming. I'm getting it again. Andjust look at my heat sensor. I just got a blast of cold air. Wait aminute, what was that sound!? Oh my gosh - Did you hear it? Yeah, thatwas so freaky, dude, it sounded like a door... shutting. But we're theonly ones here. And my light didn't even move dude. I know it's dark inhere, I mean it feels dark in here. It's so bad. We shouldn't even bein here. I'm getting it again. The residuals... Wait - was thatfootsteps? Run the EVP's - let's a getta cap of that when we stoppedbeing locked down here." Etc.--The above quasi-dialogue is roughly typical of what may be said at somestage in any given episode of this frighteningly average "standardissue" ghost hunting show. Zzzzzz zzzzz.Basically a bunch of 'time-rich' mid-kids (+ the lead's pretty handsometo rope in the girls), got some cool cameras and a few other bits andpieces (Motion sensors, EVP & temp meters etc.) and decided it wasbetter to make a ghost hunting show, than get what is otherwisereferred to as: "real jobs". The economy sucks and all, anyway. Theplan being that if the show's successful it would then become theirreal job. So, next thing you know it's 2011, and whaddya know...another ghost hunting show became popular, owing to its usual plethoraof bumps, grunts, disembodied voices and disembowelled shadows whichmove through walls on cue. ("Disembowelled shadows"!!? lol ouch) Callme old, but these kind of shows get boring after you've watched acouple of disembodied episodes from one series, and this is nodifferent. "What was that!? Did you see that!?" It was like the sound of somethingor someone... I mean someone... changing the channel dude.
LAmitch (30 April 2012)
It is mostly boring and silly, but Zak is easy on the eyes
IMDb puts this program in the categories History / Sci-Fi / Thriller.My satellite TV guide refers to it as Paranormal Series. I wouldcategorize it as Sci-Fi / Supernatural / Sad attempt at Thriller. Inthe name of full disclosure, I've never seen a fake reality show ormovie that I liked, horror shows are not often my favoriteentertainment, but I occasionally do like horror films. I frequentlylike history, documentaries, Sci-Fi, science, and supernatural shows. I do give Ghost Adventures a bit of a pass because it is categorized asSci-Fi and Paranormal; by definition that means it is fictional, andoutside our human understanding of the natural world. On the up side, Ican see how some might be entertained by the silly antics the host, ZakBagans, and his team (Zak is handsome and has a great body, but wouldbe better looking if he'd just stop talking). I mean the guys seem tobelieve that every creaking board is a ghost, and every breeze is ademon. They also seems to think they can intimidate supernaturalentities by yelling at them, and calling them names. To see grown menacting like that is quite humorous, and intentionally so, because ifgrown men did actually believe that silliness, it would be just too sadto bear.The down side of Ghost Adventures is that it is filmed in the RealityTV style, and the guys are either fooling themselves or attempting tofool their audience into thinking they are collecting "evidence ofparanormal activity." As I've written in other program reviews, whenpeople mix Reality TV with Supernatural, the only possible outcomes aresilly humor, or significant boredom. Luckily, GH has a significanthumor quotient which helps to balance out the way big boredom.The most disturbing thing about Ghost Adventures is that shows likethis tend to fuel the magical thinking beliefs of people who posseslimited critical thinking skills. Many of the positive reviews of thisshow seem to support that assertion. In and of itself, I don't reallycare if people believe in ghosts; the problem is, when people believetrue that for which there is no evidence, that belief can effect howthat person understands other facets of reality. E.g. If a personbelieves he knows the will of "The one true God," and based on thatbelief in god's will, he judges some group of non-believers to be evil(non-believer being any people who do not share his particular beliefof god's will), and if he also believes the one true god rewards hisservants who kill evil people in his name, that person might be willingto kill many people who "offend" his concept of god. I admit that is anextreme example, but it's an example that has happened time and timeagain throughout recorded history, and still happens way too often formy liking. I have no expectation that my words here will change the mind of anyghost or magic true believers who like this show. If on the other handa reader is curious about how we humans come to believe many of thethings we do, one might want to consider doing an Internet search forMichael Shermer. He has written several good books which explain ourcurrent scientific knowledge of the human mind's inner workings. Hewrites his books in such a way that those without significantscientific education can still readily understand the subject matter.One of his more recent books is "The Believing Brain" which can befound online and at many traditional book stores. It's a veryinteresting read, but I will warn you that after reading it, you mightbe inclined to reconsider some of you long and deeply held beliefs.Even if it doesn't cause you to reconsider your old beliefs, it mightstill help you in selecting which future beliefs you come to hold.I do not sell books, and I do not make money from the sale of any bookon the market today. I have, however, just finished reading "TheBelieving Brain" and thought the book applies well to this subject.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAA (29 April 2012)
Evidential Truth
I did notice Ghost Adventures did the same training as the same asGhost Hunters,Paranormal Investigators, more or less, all three areHighly Respectable Paranormal Societies. Yes, I have experienced withthe Ghost Adventures crew at Bobby Mackey's(very terrifying), and theupcoming visit for the latest episode in 2011 called Ashmore Estates.Their facts and truth of these places, are anything but all real, it'sall evidential truth and more. I have been in the building and what'snot shown on the show, The names of the victims call out their fromtheir EVPs tell exactly how they died, even dates of death, and theirnames, and I asked some of the townspeople of the small town ofAshmore, if they new some of the names, and yes some were related andsome had records of the deceased. What's more concerning is the rearfarm field behind the Ashmore Estates is a mystery;). Yes, I have metwith some ghost hunters who mostly never caught any bologna phenomena,and they still admire the intensive risks the Ghost trio tries tocontact, by isolating themselves, expressing out, and always more.Surprisingly, some of the ghost hunters have offered to take theParanormal Challenge, and yes, I have also watched Ghost Lab onDiscovery Channel; it was getting pretty good, but not as detailed andinformative as Ghost Adventures, although, CLOSE, in late December,until, they started not getting any or, yes the usual Sons of Guns, andother survival shows , and contest shows sprinkled the television set.It's as well rumored Ghost Adventures may go to Europe again.
pezgirlie (29 April 2012)
So fake
This show is so obviously faked. They tried to claim that a guy fromthe 1600s attacked them and then said "I just slapped you bitches."Yes, because men from the 1600s obviously talked like a modern day fratboy. Suuuure. Oh, and there was also the time they tried to claim thatthey caught ghosts having sex. Ghosts. Having sex. They also claim to get multiple EVPs and other evidence of theparanormal per hunt. Most ghost hunters never get anything when they gohunting. Watch this for the entertainment factor ("Dude!", "Dude?", "Dude."),but don't bother taking it seriously.
raymond orosco (23 April 2012)
What I Like About The Show
Ghost adventures is the show that can prove that ghosts exist. what ilike about this show is that they review their evidence and play itback. they also have the history on the places where they investigatethe most haunted places in the world like Waverly Hills, The StanleyHotel and the one place where ghost or spirits do harm is Bob MackeysMusic World. this show can really shake your nerves and really make youbelieve in something that you didn't even know exist. In the poll onthings that people do exist: ghosts is #1. In the words of Zac Bagans,the leader of their ghost adventures show, states that you are dealingwith people that lived a long time ago and they are trying to reachout. the best way is to listen, but if you don't believe in this,thatis your choice.

Haters gonna hate
Let me just start by saying that I love paranormal shows and this is byfar, the best one I've seen. If you don't like paranormal or don'tbelieve in it, then why are you watching it? For entertainment? Fine.You'll be entertained. Otherwise, what's the point of watching a showyou hate?Anyway, the reason I started watching GA was because of the ViscillaAxe Murder House. I was a little put off by the men's attitudes atfirst because that might be the most disturbing thing I've everresearched; it stays with you long after you hear about it and yet,none of the guys were showing any sign of sadness or sympathy for thevictims. Then I realized that's just the sensitive girl in me (theycan't walk around sobbing now can they? That's just unproductive) so Istopped and listened and before I knew it, I was completely hooked.Until I saw that episode, I was an avid Ghost Hunters fan. Yet,comparing the two (and you can't help but to compare them) I can seewhy so many people have switched to GA; their passion really drivestheir curiosity of the unknown while with GH, it just seems like ahobby. I could be totally wrong about that, but that's how it comesacross.One thing I really appreciate is that the camera crew are also thehosts- and there's only 3 of them! They don't have teams whichdecreases the chance of contamination, which makes their evidence moresolid. Often times during GH, I would wonder if it were the cameramenor sound guys making a sound and not admitting to it but with GA, youdon't have to guess because their cameras are often trained on eachother; Zak is talking to Nick's camera while Aaron is filming Nick. Theguys are quite the characters too.Aaron is the dramatic one. He can be over the top sometimes and iscertainly the most jumpy out of the 3. He can often break the intensityof the situation with a simple open mouth gasp and it can either beannoying or hysterical. He seems timid when in a group setting, likehe's more frightened by his co-hosts than the ghosts.Nick is the experimental one (he's also known as the "Runner" from myfriends because of his history of running when things got scary). Atthe risk of sounding childish, he's definitely my favorite one tolisten to. By that, I mean compared to Zak's forceful voice, his isquiet but confident and he can provoke the spirits just as well. Youcan tell he likes being by himself as it gives him the freedom ofhaving one on one contact with something paranormal-friendly or not.He's the perfect middle between Aaron's dramatics and Zak's ferocity;he's the calm between two storms essentially.Zak is the leader. Despite his tough exterior, Zak has shown on manyoccasions that he has quite the sense of humor (for proof, see theirValentine's Day special). He's also gotten extremely emotional duringsome experiences- not crying, thank God- but they certainly add tooverall effect of what I'm seeing. It wouldn't be the same if they havestoic faces during a terrifying EVP session or physical contact. He'sthe anchor of the show and without him and his tiny shirts, it justwouldn't be the same.Sure, these guys can sound like they stepped into Bill and Ted'sExcellent Adventure but in a way, it works. It tells me that these areaverage guys who have a passion for something and they followed it. Thelearn experience from on the job and watching their first documentaryto their latest episode, you can really tell how much they've grownfrom their experiences.Those things being said, there are 2 things that bug me: 1) they don'tshow much debunking. That doesn't mean they don't do it, because theytell you if it's something non paranormal but I wished they did moredebunking in general. Especially with banging and sounds. 2) Zak saidon one case, that they don't like to get religious on cases, which Icompletely understand, but if you're going to say something'sdemonic...that's religious; "holy" water will do as much good as anumbrella during a tidal wave.Of course, like any show that has the paranormal in it, you pretty muchhave to take their word for things. Are these guys trustworthy? If youdon't think so, then at least you can be entertained for an hour.

Freakin' addicting!!!
If Ghost Adventures had their own church, I would be there every Sundayand Wednesday service and more than likely every single pie pickin bakesale!! This show ROCKS!!!! Premise is simple: 12 hours, one hauntedplace and 3 tubular dudes with video cameras who are locked in fromdusk till dawn (sweet movie.) It can't get any better. Personally, Idon't doubt them one bit. Their not there to prove a haunting ordismiss it, they're just their to capture the legends on film. Thelocations are credible, you've probably even seen them on otherparanormal shows which even makes them more credible! As for theirevidence, they break it down immediately after it happens sometimesplaying it over a few times or at a slower pace and if they catchanything really spooky like a full apparition, it's analyzed to deathbecause ultimately that's the main goal is to show you that what theyget is REAL. It's also nice to have just 3 regular normal guysinteracting with you through the show than a bunch of pocket protectorscientists whom you can't even understand. Zak, Nick and Aaron are justlike you which makes the series even better. They do the exact samething my friends and I do on the weekends and it's so awesome to knowthat we're not the only ones who do that crazy crap!! I love them,can't get enough of them and hope it's on air forever!!

A solid entertaining paranormal-show
When it comes to paranormal-shows (or more specifically ghost huntingshows) I think I've seen quite a few of it. Ghost Hunters (which isprobably the most popular ghost hunting show nowadays), Most Haunted,and a few others come to mind. However, what I think distinguishesthese shows from Ghost Adventures is the fact that Ghost Adventures hasa lot more entertainment-value.A lot of times it seems that people either love or hate this show.Whether they think that the three investigators Zak, Nick and Aaron areannoying, or that the show simply has questionable evidence, it seemsthat a lot of people have sómething to nitpick about this show.However, when I watch a TV-show I want to be entertained and that iswhere Ghost Adventures scores the highest I think because usuallyparanormal-shows get boring quite quickly.The crew has a interesting approach by locking themselves up at eachparanormal site (or at least claimed to be paranormal site), fromevening to morning while investigating. This eliminates the possibilitythat any crew-member besides themselves might pollute their potentialevidence, which is quite clever considering that there was never anyparanormal-show that took that in consideration until now.These guys also have a good sense of humor which is a good thingbecause else the investigation would get repetitive and boring quicklyI imagine. Whether Zak's fear of snakes is playing up, or he's gettingattacked by a wild cat, there is always something to break the tension.The evidence they get is sometimes interesting as well, but this is ofcourse something that you always have to take with a grain of saltsince its a TV-show.If you thought Ghost Hunters got boring after season 3, then check outGhost Adventures. If you don't take it tóó seriously, you might enjoythem as much as I do.Good luck on season 3 guys!
