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.
The creepy old home on Clovis Avenue that’s been at different times a sanitarium, a convalescent home and a Halloween attraction has now become something new – a paranormal destination.
Wolfe Manor, is the site of popular spirit-seeking tours and a Web-based ghost investigation show. This week, it will be featured on an episode of the Travel Channels hit ghost reality show Ghost Adventures. It is set to air Friday, January 8th, at 9 E/P.
In it’s 70 years of operation Wolfe Manor became the final resting place for thousands of people. The originals owners lost the home in the great depression. After sitting vacant for years, Wolfe Manor was turned into the Clovis Sanitarium. Former employees tell numerous stories about poor conditions, mistreatment, and abuse of patients.
Wolfe Manor housed 100-150 patients at a time until it was closed in 1997. Overcrowding was a constant problem, making it difficult for any patient to receive proper care. The rooms were so overcrowded that some patients slept in the hallways. With so many patients and a shortage of staff, there were a lot of deaths inside the mansion. Since there was no local coroner to come for the deceased the bodies had to be stored in the basement. They were sometimes there for days at a time.
The spirits are Wolfe Manor are very “hands on.” While researching some of the history behind the mansion Zak asks paranormal investigator Terry Campbell if he has ever been physically touched. “All the time. That is the most frequent thing that happens here,” Terry responds.
The guys hear voices and feel strange energy even before the lockdown begins. Wolfe Manor is sure to be a hair-raising investigation.
This place is haunted by many ghosts the most violent of wich is the ghost of Anthony Andriotti a former owner who had a troubled life suffering from an alcohol and opium addiction. Anthony Andriotti died rather young in fact I beleive he was in his late 30’s and his addictions we’re fueled by financial ruin. Anthony likes to push people and try to kick them out of his former home.
Many other ghosts who haunt this place aren’t aware they are dead because they were elderly and died of things like tuberculosis and neglect because they had severe mental issues when this was known as Hazelwood Sanitarium and Clovis Avenue Sanitarium. Wolfe Manor actually has had thousands of deaths over the years and in fact at one time it averaged one death a day.
Off the top of my head I can actually list 34 ghosts who are mid range power wise and live at Wolfe Manor so I think any real investigation should be interesting and active to say the least. The second story is where I hope they spend the most of their time because it’s frequented by a ghost named Jimmy who I know if Zak uses provacation he’s going to regret it cause Jimmy is a cutter.
I can’t wait to watch this episode and I hope you enjoy it.

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.
This has got to be the funnest episode of Ghost adventures ever. Every time I think about it I can’t help but laugh. The Ghost Adventure crew went to check out reports of haunting at the Old Idaho Penitentiary but were midway up Table Rock when it occurred to host Zak Bagans that there might be snakes snakes in the hills. He proceeded to spend the next several minutes ignoring the fact that a trail leads to the top, and instead, jumped around screaming and being worried about snakes while shouting “Dude” at regular intervals. Bagans then decided to face his fear and actually pick up a good-sized snake, then wondered if it was a rattlesnake (here’s a clue, rattlesnakes usually rattle). He was then perplexed when the snake turned in toward him proclaiming that the experience is just like Indiana Jones.
I don’t know if these guys do some of this stuff just for the comic relief effect or if they are always like this. If they are always like this I’d pay money to be able to watch them all day.
The Ghost Adventures guys Zak, Nick, and Aaron are at Scarefest in Lexington, KY and wanted to take a minute to tell you about their new season starting November 6th
Scarefest 2009 in Lexington has been a spooktacular time so far. The guy who played Pinhead from Hellraiser is here, along with Elfie from Paranormal State and my favorite paranormal experts the guys from Ghost Adventures. This has gotta start being a yearly tradition for me The Evil Dead: The Musical booth was the best one by far and everyone knows how I feel about Chip Coffey so I was kinda sad to see Chip survive that scary zombie clown at Scarefest. Just kidding Chip LOL.
Ghost Adventures will hold a Seven hour Paranormal Investigation of the Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum in Weston, WV On Oct. 30th 2009. You can watch Zak, Nick and Aaron as they lock themselves in one of America’s most haunted locations ever for the most ambitious LIVE paranormal investigation ever attempted.
Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum (also called Weston State Hospital ) was built during the Civil War, and is the second largest, hand-cut stone building in the US, second only to the Kremlin in the world. For decades its massive walls housed the insane, the neglected and the unwanted. Patient-on-patient violence was common. Inmates were subjected to brutal medical procedures. The asylum was finally shut down for good in 1994 and stands empty today.
Even while operational, there were much reported paranormal activity in the asylum’s two and a half miles of corridors. Visitors were grabbed from behind and dragged into rooms. Mysterious figures darted through walls. Today, those brave enough to venture inside report hearing the incoherent screams of the insane.
Ghost Adventures will have unprecedented access to the entire asylum from the seclusion cells where the most violent patients were shackled to the medical center where hundreds of primitive ice-pick lobotomies were performed. Charles Manson was even once briefly a guest here
As always the team will be padlocked inside the facility, unable to escape as they record their experiences. To aid in their investigation, they will be calling on both paranormal and technical experts.
Viewers at home will have complete access to the investigation on air and online as it occurs. They can monitor webcams throughout the building, chat with the guys during the lockdown, post messages on the bulletin board and send mobile text messages.
You won’t want to miss one minute of this 7-hour LIVE event.

Ghost Adventures crew is investigating the La Purisima Mission in Lompoc, California this Friday at 9 PM E/P on the Travel Channel. The La Purisima Mission is a former Spanish residence of padres, soldiers and the native Chumash. The area is beautiful, but the air around it is heavy with the tragedy of disease and war. At La Purisima, the sounds of flutes and the voices of the long-gone inhabitants are reported to still linger. Trapped within its white-washed walls, the spirits seem bound to this land, forever locked in their struggle with each other.
