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.
We all watch them from time to time and regardless of your favorite show a few things will ALWAYS be missing from paranormal television.
1) A clear photo or tape of a spirit: I don’t care if your friendly neighborhood ghost got gussied up and went down to a professional photo studio and posed for a pic it will NEVER come out. You see ghosts are comprised of energy and even if they went corporeal the amount of energy they are burning threw just won’t allow itself to transfer itself to film. The best pics you will see will be grainy or blurry regardless of the power level of the ghost.
2) You will never see what goes on with most TV psychics: That amazing stuff you see on TV is just edited down to a two minute section where they take the info the psychic gets right from a 30-60 minute read. Ghosts are never as clear as you are led to believe on TV. The other thing there is a psychic on a cable show that will remain nameless for legal reasons who is so fake he must have a copy of the house history, report of whats been happening in the house and where, and a report of what any previous investigators have uncovered before he does a reading on camera. Pretty easy to guess things when you have all that info right? Guess you need to be holding all the “Chips” before you make your reveal to the home owner of the home over a cup of “coffey” err I mean coffee.
3) The last thing you will never see is how many investigators manipulate viewers. It’s easy to do in fact find a person who believes in ghosts and create a scenario where a haunting is possible then add screams and darkness and viewers will believe.
Ghost Adventures host Zak Bagans (the dude with the spikey hair) will be staring in an upcoming Travel Channel series Paranormal Challenge. Paranormal Challenge is a new tv show scheduled to premiere at 9 p.m. June 17 on Travel Channel. Bagans will hosts the series, which will feature two teams on ghost-hunting missions.
In each episode of “Paranormal Challenge,” Bagans will invite two teams of amateur ghost hunters to spend the night locked down inside haunted hotspots. During the night, the teams put their paranormal skills to the test by conducting a ghost investigation with high-tech gear and their own knowledge. The teams will then present their findings to Bagans and a panel of three paranormal experts who judge the teams on teamwork, use of technology and evidence collected during the lockdown, according to a series description from Travel Channel. The series has already filmed at Eastern State Penitentiary near Philadelphia, Pa., and an old prison in Mansfield, Ohio, and about a half dozen other locations.
Do u have ur own Paranormal Team and want to compete in Paranormal Challenge? If so send ur team bio to ParanormalShow2011@gmail.com
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, Â 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
