Magnolia Plantation is located in Natchitoches, La. This is a place where many slaves labored and died in the fields they worked in. Evidence of voodoo rituals that slaves performed as a form of revenge on their owners has also been discovered. When the crew was doing the walk through before the lock down, the care owners of the plantation wouldn't disclose any of the information that linked the plantation to voodoo. The ghost adventures crew dug that up themselves.
This episode was definitely one of the better episodes. The ghost adventures crew always does idiotic things to try and "connect" with and "pull" out the spirits. In this episode they partook in a voodoo ritual to open themselves up to the spirits. During the ritual a photo was taken, and in the smoke you can see a very distinct women's face. It was extremely creepy. One of the slave cabins had a light that flickered on and off without explanation. The guards said it has never done that, and there was nobody inside the cabin. So that whole ordeal was pretty crazy. The next thing was when Zak and Aaron were inside one of the cabins. They put their voodoo doll they used inside the middle of the floor and after a while the two of them started freaking out about hearing chanting and screaming. They enhanced the audio on their cameras and EVP recorders and you can hear what they were hearing. You hear very distinct and real chanting noises. They guessed it was the spirits replicating one of their rituals. That also was pretty mind blowing.
I really liked this episode. It was really interesting. What I like best about this show is that the crew and analysts are always trying to debunk everything they think is paranormal. If they do debunk it as something that is not paranormal and has explanation, they will always tell you.

Old Idaho Penitentiary- Season One
The Old Idaho Penitentiary once housed criminals and murderers, mostly destined for the gallows. Ten executions took place in this prison, along with murders inside the prison walls. One man who was executed, didn't die until 15 minutes after he started to hang. This was due to something wrong with the rope.
The crew again didn't get the best evidence from this lock down. At least them airing episodes that didn't get the best evidence contributes to their credibility. You hear a few unexplained noises, and they capture one EVP. This EVP wasn't clear enough to make out what the spirit was maybe trying to say. Next they used another new method using technology called ITC, or instrumental trans-communication. They set up a television set and video camera on a tripod. Next they take the audio jacks from the camera and plug them into the television. It's said to pick up images of spirits. They record for 30 seconds at a time, several times. After analyzing, they captured a very chilling image of a body shape, with a skinny neck, and a head that looked like it had the type of bag put over inmates before they are hung over it. That image was really cool and intense.
That image was the best evidence from this lock down. I am going to do one more episode from this season and move on to season two. The technology gets more advanced, and the evidence more compelling!

Moundsville State Penitentiary-Season 1
This prison has seen a lot of death and riots. Inmates would kill each other and attack guards in many riots. Lots of prisoners were killed in gruesome ways, such as putting a man in boiling hot water to boil to death. Often inmates were also executed.
The Ghost Adventures crew got some threatening EVPs, or electronic voice phenomenon. Including possibly "I'll kill you" and an extremely creepy laugh. At first it seemed to me the crew did not get the best evidence, and not much activity, but at the end of the episode they took their EVPs to EVP specialists Debbie and Mark Constantino. These two will appear throughout the series because they are highly acclaimed EVP specialists. They were able to catch even more EVPs that were more hidden. With the creepy laugh, they caught another "I'll kill you", right before the laugh. They also found things such as, "look up", "I've gone away", and more "I'll kill you". After the EVPs were further analyzed, the episode got that much more interesting.

Bobby Mackey's Music World-Season 1
Bobby Mackey's Music World is located in Wilder, Kentucky, and is owned by the country music musician, Bobby Mackey. This location is a former speakeasy and slaughter house. It is said that this location is haunted by several malevolent spirits who have attacked the living. In 1896 a women named Pearl Brian was beheaded by her lover and his friend. They tossed her head down a well as a said sacrifice to the devil, which is located in the Bobby Mackey club. This well is said to be a "portal to hell". When the two were executed, they said they would forever haunt the building.
A dancer's father from the building, when it was a speakeasy, killed her lover. The dancer's name was Johanna, and she poisoned her father and committed suicide in the building. Bobby Mackey has a famous song about Johanna.
There is also said to have been devil worshipers who have performed rituals and sacrifices near the infamous well. The building's caretaker also went under demonic possession and an exorcism was performed.
The three investigators used the taunting method in this investigation, which will prove to be a bad idea when dealing with supposed demonic spirits. They experience unexplained female voices and a loud banging on the bathroom walls. They used EMF detectors, or electromagnetic field detectors, which are said to detect what spirits give off. They also used EVP's, or electronic voice phenomenon, which captures spirit voices through the white noise. The only EVP they captured in this episode was a female crying and a male voice saying, "precious, no". Was this Pearl Brian and her boyfriend who sacrificed her? The craziest evidence came from Zak starting to feel a burning sensation on his back and the team found that he was scratched by a demonic entity that was mocking the trinity. His taunting was probably the reason for this.
This location is one of my favorites. There is a part two to this episode when they revisit this location which is way better. I recommend trying to catch it on the television. This is the first episode ever to the series, so the investigating gets better and the evidence gets more compelling, including EVP's, in later episodes. Also, if you have Netflix you can instantly stream almost every episode. There is also new Ghost Adventures every Friday night on the Travel Channel.

Quick Introduction to the team
I thought before I wrote about any of the episodes, I better make a quick blog about the ghost adventure's crew members.
There's Zak Bagans, the lead investigator and series' host. Then there is Nick Groff, a co-investigator and cameraman. Last is Aaron Goodwin, the crew's co-investigator, equipment technician, and cameraman. Only the three of them conduct their investigations in a lock down technique from dusk to dawn; leaving no escape or entry!
