Stanley Hotel- Season 4

The Stanley Hotel is located in the Rocky Mountains-Estes Park, CO-and is the hotel that inspired Stephen King to write his popular horror novel The Shinning. Stephen King experienced the hotels ghosts himself and inspired him due to how isolated and lonely you feel in the isolated hotel. One girl says a little female ghost named Katy hangs out with her.

The three guys stayed in three of the most haunted rooms in the hotel (by themselves) with a camera set up to capture footage. They also had hand held cameras with them and their recording devices to capture EVP's. Nick captured an EVP around 2:45 in the morning that said, "you better start talking". Zak was awakened by a noise, and soon after that his digital recorder captured an EVP that said, "somebody's coming". The EVP Aaron caught was humorous. He was snoring very loudly and caught an EVP that said, "hey, come on". The guys strongly believed that Aaron agitated a spirit in the room with his snoring. I found it very funny. Nick then caught an EVP around 3:30 that said, "they're up late". Meanwhile, in Aaron's room-while he continued to snore-caught another EVP that said, "pass the key". That spirit was a little annoyed with Aaron. Zak caught an eerie EVP that said, "that was a shadow".

Return to Bobby Mackey's Music World- Season 4

My very first blog was about the investigation at Bobby Mackey's Music World located in Kentucky. In the first investigation the boys were physically attacked by powerful spirits they ruled as being demons. This second investigation actually scared me the first time I watched it, because these are definitely very malevolent and evil spirits. An exorcism took place to the janitor who lived in the building that was recorded-it was a demonic possession. They show clips of the exorcism, and it was frightening and disturbing. Some people call this place the Gate to Hell and the crew admits they were scared to come back. Sometimes spirits, especially evil ones (or demonic ones) will attach to you and follow you home. This was the first and only investigation the boys have done where things followed them home and terrorized and haunted them. All three boys were haunted by demonic and angry entities. Aaron's marriage ended because the wife was so afraid of being with him because of the hauntings that occurred after their first investigation. A few Ghost Adventures fans who joined the boys in part of the first investigation also experienced chilling hauntings for months. Demonic spirits make it personal in order to attack you and get into your head. They manipulate memories and mimic voices-play on emotions.

In this investigation they brought the bishop with them that performed the exorcism to this lock down. They caught an EVP that said "I'm gonna kill Zak". Next they got an EVP "I'm gonna kill your wife". Nick is the only one married now, so was this directed towards him? Zak asked why the spirits only live in the basement and don't come up to the bar. They got what is a class A, intelligent response on their digital records that said "I can't go back in there". Next the crew brought in the priest. The boys had to give the priest permission to exorcise them if needed. After capturing a few threatening EVP's directed to the bishop the crew asked "What color are your eyes?" A response said "Black".

They used another device that spirits can use to directly communicate since they were getting so many direct responses. Zak asked "What's your name". They device then said "Scott". Scott was a confirmed satan worshiper who decapitated his girlfriend in this building as a blood sacrifice to the devil. They continued to get responses until finally is said "I killed Pearl Bryan". This is the name of Scott's girlfriend that he murdered. They then left the bishop alone. The bishop caught an EVP that is not appropriate to blog. The Ghost Adventures crew also caught a couple other very inappropriate EVP.  The bishop then asked if the spirits intentions were evil. They caught an EVP that said "That's because it's the Devil." Very chilling! The bishop then went from room to room trying to cleanse the building. After awhile the bishop asked the boys to stop filming because Zak and Aaron had to undergo an exorcism. Aaron said all he wanted to do was hurt and kill the bishop.

This is the scariest episode, but it is also my favorite. I couldn't detail everything because the blog got too long. This place is absolutely insane.

Execution Rocks Lighthouse- Season 3

In the middle of long island lies a deserted reef where Execution Rock Lighthouse is. During colonial times, prisoners who were condemned would be chained to the rocks until the tide got too high and killed them. The British executed often here and would leave the dead bodies hanging from the rocks. This is an area where many ships would wreck. 

In this episode, the most interesting part was when the boys had downtime to fish and have a cookout. You get to see them in more of a personal light. The investigation as a whole was boring. Nothing really happened in the episode. They used the goggles with the word database that came out saying "mercury". They made assumptions that maybe a lighthouse guard died from mercury poisoning. Which could be a long shot. That's all they really got. This was definitely probably the worst episode of the series. It was just boring and didn't catch your attention at all, and there was really no evidence. The lighthouse has a dark history, but maybe it isn't actually haunted.
