Ghost Adventures - Prospect Place

I hope you had a great holiday season. There is an all-new episode of Ghost Adventures this Friday to help you bring in the new year. The boys are investigating Prospect Place mansion, a location known for it's dramatic history.


Now the that holidays are winding down we can get back to regular life. I hope you have a good new year! As always, feel free to share this info with friends, readers, or other fans of the show.


Episode info:

In Trinway, Ohio, there is a place so saturated with dark history, it is no wonder that the fight between good and evil is still continuing from when it started in 1856. Prospect Place Mansion is said to be infested with paranormal activity. It was a major stop for runaway slaves in the underground railroad, many of whom are said to have died in the basement. The owner, Georde Adams, was a pillar of the community. His wealth and influence afforded him the ability to help slaves escape to freedom. He was willing to do anything to protect the slaves traveling through the underground railroad.


There are many sad stories about the mansion. It is said that a little girl once fell from the balcony. It was in the dead of winter and the family had to wait until spring before they could properly bury her. They kept her body in the cold storage in the basement and during this time the girl's mother came to visit her every day.

Ghost Adventures - Execution Rocks


This Friday Zak, Nick, and Aaron will be visiting an island that few paranormal investigators have ever step foot upon. Execution Rocks has been home to executions, murder, and accidental death. In order to tackle an island with this much history the guys are pulling out the stops and using all sorts of equipment.


The holidays are are here so I hope you get an opportunity to relax and spend time with your friends and family. As always, feel free to share this info with friends, readers, or other fans of the show!


Episode info:

Execution Rocks is given its name because British soldiers used the rocks around the island to carry out executions. They would chain the prisoners up at low tide and wait for the water to slowly rise until the prisoners were drowned. The prisoners were in the water for up to twelve hours before the water rose high enough for them to drown.

It is standard for a lighthouse keeper to commit to living in a lighthouse for a year. However, lighthouse keepers at Execution Rocks were allowed to cancel their contracts and leave at any point. Many keepers were frightened by strange phenomena and choose to leave early.

One of Americas most notorious serial killers, Carl Panzram, was a big fan of the lighthouse. Carl Panzram once stated, "I have murdered 21 human beings. I have committed sodomy on at least 1000 male human beings. For all of these things, I am not in the least bit sorry." The lighthouse was his chosen place to dump the dead bodies of his victims.

With all of the dark history surrounding the island, is it a wonder that few paranormal investigators have payed visit to the lighthouse.

This week on Ghost Adventures

Hi Lesley,


This Friday, the guys are heading to the rough neighborhoods of east LA to investigate the Linda Vista Hospital. There was so much gang violence in the 1990's that Linda Vista had a surprisingly high death toll.


You will get to see Nick more afraid than you have ever seen him on an episode of Ghost Adventures (though I won't spoil the fun and tell you why).


I've included some advance info about the episode and a link to a video clip below. Feel free to share this info with friends, readers, or other fans of the show! Have a great evening!


Episode info:

Hospitals are for the sick and dying. For many, Linda Vista was their last stop before heading to the morgue. Linda Vista, located in the heart of east LA, is said to be one of the most haunted locations in Los Angeles. When you consider the rough neighborhood surrounding the hospital, it is no surprise that the hospital had a high death toll.


Before the investigation, Zak visits the incineration room, where the bodies of the dead were burned. While examining the room he comes across what looks like a bone fragment or a tooth from one of the hospital's patients.


Most the hospital looks the same way it did when it was closed down because it was abandoned so quickly after being shut down. The guys believe that when a place is left so quickly, and looks so similar to the way it did when people died, they location is more likely to be haunted


The guys do not leave disappointed. They capture voices in the middle of the day, and later in the investigation Nick gets one of the worst scares in his life!

Ghost Cases travels to the UK


In the upcoming episode of Ghost Cases, Paul and Holly travel to the UK and investigate paranormal activity at the Lion and Swan hotel. Aside from the paranormal, they made me remember how small most UK hotel rooms are. :)

Within the hotel witnesses have seen ghosts, most especially a man and a dog. Yes, a ghost hound!!! Although, really the ghosts are kind of besides the point because the real paranormal focus is a cursed painting of a rather pretty and scantly clad woman.

I didn't quite get why the painting was cursed, but the legend is that is that if the painting is moved someone will die. So what did Paul Kimball do? Come on, you can guess. If you guessed that he moved it and touched it, you are correct!

Actually, I think Paul has removed my writers block and given me something to write about for Grey Matters next week and the theme will be - why we should respect the paranormal. Heck, I don't believe in every paranormal thing, but that doesn't seem to matter. I think as long as there are people that believe in it you are tempting fate to totally disregard it. Maybe it just has to do with consciousness, more so than spirits, demons or curses, but people do need to respect what we refer to as the paranormal.

So by that you probably know that someone did die. You can scoff and write it off as coincidence if you wish, but given the small amount of people that were probably involved in the investigation I would bet that the odds of something like that happening aren't that great.

So anyway, if you are in Canada, I am pretty sure you won't want to miss this episode of Ghost Cases. Ghost Cases airs of Eastlink TV (I believe this episode airs on Dec 6th) and you can find out more about it here.

Happy Hunting!

This week on Ghost Adventures

Hi Lesley,


This Friday, the guys are heading back to the Old Washoe Club and the Chollar Mine in Virginia City Nevada. Five years ago, in the ballroom of the Washoe Club, Zak, the guys caught their very first video evidence of a ghost.


They are returning because recently several investigators have caught voices at the Washoe Club calling out Zak and Nick by name, and the voices don't have nice things to say.


I've included some advance info about the episode and a link to a video clip below. Feel free to share this info with friends, readers, or other fans of the show! Have a great day!


Episode info:

The guys head back to where it all began at the Washoe Club in Virginia City Nevada. They are re-visiting the location where they got their first documented video evidence of a ghost. The reason for their return is that several investigators have recently caught voices inside the Washoe Club calling out Zak and Nick by name.


The voices don't have nice things to say. Fellow investigators Mark and Debbie Constantino show the guys some EVP's saying, "Nick Groff," "Hate Nick," and "Zak look out." It appears the these spirits have unfinished business with Zak, Nick, and Aaron.


The guys will also be locked down in a location they did not visit during their previous investigation: The Chollar Mine. It is said that there are spirits of miners still stuck inside the mine. Countless men have died inside the mine thanks to fires, falls, electrocution. Once locked down, the guys hear the sounds of people working inside the mine.

Ghost Adventures Update

Hi Lesley,


Happy Thanksgiving (a little early I know). I hope you have a great holiday and enjoy some relaxing time with your friends and family. There is a brand new Ghost Adventures this Friday, so heat up some left-over turkey and enjoy!


The guys are investigating Remington Arms ammunition factory. At one point, Remington Arms was the largest weapons factory on the planet. I hope you enjoy your holiday. If you have any questions or comments feel free to contact me!


Below are episode details and some video links:


Episode info:

Many say that Remington Arms is cursed from the hundreds of thousands that have died as a result of the products manufactured there. If that weren't enough, there were dozens of accidental deaths and murders inside the factory.


There is one story about two men who fell into the lead smelting pots within the factory. As they fell into the molten lead, they were instantly killed. There is a theory that when you experience such a quick tragic death your spirit can't leave that place. The guys decide to leave a static camera in this location and you won't believe what they find.


Before the investigation even gets started, the guys feel unwelcome. While they are walking around in the middle of the day they hear unexplained hammering around the building, their camera lights stop working and they hear voices. The spirits were letting Zak, Nick, and Aaron know that they are in for an interesting night.

The latest from Ghost Adventures

Hi Lesley,


This Friday, the Ghost Adventures crew investigates Ohio Reformatory, one of the most active paranormal spots in the United States. The spirits here are some of the most aggressive Zak, Nick, and Aaron have ever encountered.


You don't want to miss the premiere this Friday at 9 PM E/P on the Travel Channel. I hope you are enjoying the new episodes of Ghost Adventures. As always, if you have any questions or comments feel free to contact me!


Below are episode details and some video links:


Episode info:

The spirits at Ohio Reformatory are angry. It seems to be infested with aggressive spirits. The prison has a long history of violent attacks. There have been over 155,00 inmates to pass through the prison in the last century. Both guards and former inmates tell stories of seeing the worst elements of the human spirit.


A former inmate, tells the guys a story about a man names Lockheart in the cell next to him. One day Lockheart decided to douse himself in paint thinner and set himself on fire. By the time anyone arrived to help, he was already dead. As Lockheart was dragged out of his cell to be put out, there were trails of burnt skin on the floor behind him.


Outside the prison is a graveyard full of inmates who died within the walls of the prison. Since nobody claimed them, they were buried in the prison graveyard. Finding an old relative won't be easy though, since the only identification on the gravestones are the inmate's prisoner numbers. After Zak learns this, he says "I think when there's a dishonorable burial, there is a recipe for trapped souls."

Ghost Adventures Update

Hi Lesley,


This Friday's episode is the result of a dream come true for Zak, Nick, and Aaron. They are investigating one of the darkest paranormal locations on earth: Poveglia Island. It is one of the scariest, most difficult experiences any of the guys have been through. So disturbing in fact, that they chose not to include some scenes in this episode.


You don't want to miss the premiere this Friday at 9 PM E/P on the Travel Channel. You can always contact me if there is any other kind of content I can provide for you. Please let me know if you prefer not receive updates about Ghost Adventures. I hope you enjoy the investigation.


Below are episode details and some video links:


Episode info:

This week Zak, Nick, and Aaron visit one of the darkest spots on earth: Poveglia Island. On Poveglia, is an insane asylum built on the ashes and bones of thousands of bubonic plague victims. Thousands of people have died on the island as a result of plaugue, war, tsunami, and murder.


Many of the locals in Venice refuse to talk about Poveglia. They are even banned from visiting the island by the Italian government. Part of this dark energy is because during the plagues anyone who showed signs of the illness was taken to the island against their will. They would be left to die, and once they did, their bodies were burned and buried.


At one point Zak is overcome with anger and hatred. He believes he was taken over by a demonic spirit, but he chose not to include all that happened in the episode because is it so personally disturbing. It is the first experience to ever force the team to pause an investigation out of fear for their safety.
