GHOSTMAP

It’s been a long time since the Ghost Adventures Live Halloween show on the Travel Channel in which many people claim that paranormal investigator/expert Robert Bess tossed his electromagnetic field detector and then claimed that a ghost knocked it from his hand. I personally have no idea if that’s what happened or if it was really something paranormal because I was not there. I think it’s deplorable that Mr. Bess wasn’t given the opportunity to defend himself on the follow-up show or any time after that because I for one would have been interested on exactly what he had to say.

I know a challenge was issued by Robert Bess in which the guys of Ghost Adventures would participate in a “Paranormal Showdown” where if Robert Bess  can capture  a ghost on live TV and  produce real indisputable evidence on the spot the Ghost Adventure crew must cancel their upcoming season and tell the world why. You’d think that if  Zak and the guys were so sure in their claims of fraud by Mr. Bess they would jump on the chance to shut him up and all the folks on his side but here we are in 2012 and it’s yet to be resolved.

I’ve personally conveyed Robert Bess’s challenge to the folks at Ghost Adventures and even pulled  some strings to  offer up access to one of their top 3 dream lock down locations if they would just give Mr. Bess one night of their time. Basically I was told they have no interest in ever being put in a situation where they are not in control of what viewers may see ever again. This time he thinking just how much editing goes into the production of the show and how easy it would be to play anyone off in a bad light if they so desired.

In my opinion fans of any paranormal show need to step up to the plate and demand that ghost adventures and the Travel Channel stop playing us off as idiots and actually let us watch just one paranormal show without all the doctored and questionable B.S. that we’re suffering through right now. So what I’m asking you to do is e-mail or write the folks at the Travel Channel and demand that they do this. Also if you really want to send a message I encourage you just stop watching the show until our voices heard.

 

***EDIT*** Mr. Bess if your reading this I would like to offer you the opportunity to speak on your behalf on this site either via video or unedited blog post. Please contact me if you’re interested admin@ghostmap.info

Good God what’s with these paranormal shoes faking so much evidence these days. I tried to sit down and watch a few of these shows on TV and actually ended up getting pissed off each time and changing the channel.

The think that pisses me off the most is the so called spirit box. Now I’m not saying it works but to use it to prove paranormal activity is just ignorant. You see whoever was in charge of gathering background info on the location they were visiting got very sloppy. You see they used a site called shadowlands a very popular paranormal site. The problem is that the location they visited has the same name as another alleged haunted site 3 states away. Imagine my surprise when the spirit box was devulging info about the other site with the same name. These guys are so busted.

I will post screen shots and video this week but the bottom line is don’t believe everything you see on TV.

Are you a fan of Ghost Adventures on Travel Channel? Here are a few youtube clips that I think you’ll enjoy because the contain some of the scariest ghost adventures moments. Please enjoy these scary ghost adventure moments and let me know what you think.

Zak and Aaron on Ghost Adventures on Friday the 13th promoting the TV Show. They talk about how ghost follow them home and you can tell the host isn’t buying their story. The best line was when the host asks “Do they not like men with beards or something?”

Almost forgotten amidst the rolling hills and fields of southwestern Iowa is the little town of Villisca; a calm, peaceful place of only a few hundred people and one tragic and enduring mystery. It was here, in June 1912, that a frightening mass murder took place, wiping out an entire family. The murder was never solved, casting a pall over Villisca that still lingers today.

And this dark cloud may not be the only thing still lingering here. There are many who believe that the spirits of the murdered family may still remain here as well, their ghosts haunting the old house where they once lived and tragically died. I’ve never been here but I just found out that the ghost adventures crew filmed here in July for the new season so I’m really looking forward to it

Do you remember last years Halloween episode of Ghost Adventures that was a LIVE lock down? Paranormal investigator Robert Bess you know the guy who threw his electromagnetic field detector and then tried to lie and say a ghost did it. Anyway after he was outed as a fake by the Ghost Adventures Crew last year in the live shows recap episode Robert Bess is challenging the guys of Ghost Adventures to a “Paranormal Showdown” where if he can capture  a ghost on live TV and  produce real evidence on the spot the Ghost Adventure crew must cancel their upcoming season and tell the world why.

I think this guy just knows that after he got caught faking his ghost experience on live TV the only way for him to save face is to try to prove he’s legit. He’s probably counting on the fact that Ghost Adventures probably want to distance themselves from him as much as possible because nobody wants to be associated with a fraud. I really hope these guys don’t accept the challenge because Robert Bess has probably been spending the time since he was exposed as a fake trying to figure out how to pull off a big fraud on the ghost adventure guys so he can take them down to.

Robert Bess needs to either just come clean and admit he faked the evidence as the footage clearly shows or he needs to just get out of all paranormal fields because anybody who associates themselves with him will  automatically have any evidence they may gather dismissed as fake.

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.

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.

The Ghost Adventures crew investigate ghosts at the Linda Vista Hospital in East L.A. During the episode they hear a voice that sounds like a dying little girl. I’ve posted a video link below.

During its existence as an operating hospital in East Los Angeles, Linda Vista was deluged with dying gang members and the innocent bystanders that were inevitably brought down in the midst of a gangland war zone.

The Linda Vista Hospital was first established in 1904 as the Santa Fe Coastlines Hospital, a prospering healthcare facility dedicated to servicing employees of the Santa Fe Railroad. During the early decades of the 20th century, the hospital flourished as did Los Angeles’ surrounding Boyle Heights neighborhood. In 1924, Santa Fe Coastlines was greatly expanded, allowing for a larger staff and increased patient intake.

In 1937, the newly enlarged hospital became the Linda Vista Community Hospital. However, like much of the country, the Great Depression and World War II soon derailed the hospital’s good fortune and reputation. East LA was slowly transformed into a less affluent area, and the number of violent crimes escalated. Lowered funding at the hospital resulted in less staff to treat the influx of patients; as a consequence, the hospital’s death toll rose.

By the 1970s and ’80s, the gangs of East LA sent a steady stream of gunshot wounds and stabbings through Linda Vista’s ER doors. The neighborhood was getting worse, as was the survival rate of patients admitted.

The increase in poor and uninsured patients took its toll on the hospital, and in 1988, Linda Vista stopped accepting ambulances in their ER. The quality of care continued to decline as doctors moved to more affluent hospitals, and the Linda Vista struggled to stay afloat.

In 1991 the last patient checked out of Linda Vista. While most believe the hospital closed due to lack of funds, there are stories circulating that the hospital’s unusually high death rate was due to mistreatment and abuse.


Since closing its doors, the hospital deteriorated rapidly and it seemed Linda Vista was lost to the ghosts and spirits of those who died there. However, the building’s proximity to Hollywood was its saving grace, and several movies and TV shows have used the hospital as a shoot location. Portions of “Outbreak,” “End of Days,” “Pearl Harbor” and the pilot episode of ER were shot inside Linda Vista Hospital.

During these productions, the hospital’s haunted reputation grew. Reports of unexplained phenomena came from overnight security and production crews. Darting shadows, cries in the night and unexplained humming were all experienced by those working on the Linda Vista grounds. Many claim to have been touched and pushed by these unseen forces.

Three spirits in particular have been sighted on multiple occasions: a little girl lurks in the surgical room; a young woman paces the hallways of the third floor; and the spirit of an orderly still makes his daily rounds.

The Ghost Adventures crew (Zak, Nick and Aaron) return to Virginia City, Nevada, a haunted old mining town that happened to be the site of their very first investigation. Since their last visit, the ghosts of the old Washoe Club have been calling out their names and waiting for them to return.

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.

The Washoe Club is the oldest, most historic, and possibly most haunted saloon in all of Virginia City. This is where the miners-turned-millionaires went to escape the riff-raff of other establishments because there was a “Millionaire’s club” on the upper two floors which featured suites, a pool room, poker room and a spiral staircase near the back to facilitate keeping the prostitution on the down-low.

Some of the deaths reported to have occurred in the building include a prostitute who was supposedly murdered on the 3rd floor and a man who committed suicide by pills on the 2nd. There are many reports of a “Blue Lady” and various other sightings, including a delivery man seeing a young child looking down from the top of the spiral staircase.

There are a few ghosts here but nothing to bad in fact not sure if the amount of paranormal activity that occurs here actually justifies a second visit because it’s more of a beginner ghost hunter location.
