Is 'Ghost Adventures' Real? Depends on Who You Ask

Is 'Ghost Adventures' real? The hosts of the display for sure appear to think so. Inside the mystical display's encounters and applied sciences.

The Travel Channel's Ghost Adventures has been journeying around to the arena's "most haunted" homes, motels, and ghost towns for 16 going on 17 seasons. While it seems obtrusive lead investigators Zac Bagans and Aaron Goodwin believe in ghosts and imagine they have got encountered them, many audience most definitely wonder whether the points of interest and sounds they see on the spooky display are real or TV magic. 

So, is Ghost Adventures real or pretend?

Many people who've been on the show over time have shared accounts of their experiences with the self-proclaimed paranormal investigators of the display. According to Arizona journalist Ozzy Mora, her time with the workforce investigating Gila County Jail in Globe, AZ, shocked her in some ways — principally for a way little Hollywood manipulation she seen throughout the taping she was present for.

"Nothing is scripted," she wrote. "The only moments that have a plan are the shots between the crew and the person they are interviewing. That's usually normal while shooting any story, even a documentary."

But it feels secure to assume Ozzy without a doubt classifies herself as any individual who believes in ghosts. What a couple of skeptic's experience with the crew?

Julie Jordan, who wrote  for People about her lockdown in an outdated Utah mining the city with Aaron and Zac, calls herself a "skeptical believer" and says she experienced several unexplained occasions.

"I enjoy yoga but deep breaths can only do so much to calm your nerves," she said. "When you see a ball of light go across a wall in front of you and you know without a doubt that there is no external source, it can be extremely disconcerting."

However, some much more skeptical critics call BS.

Not everyone who has joined Zac for an evening left feeling sure Ghost Adventures is real. Joe Streckert wrote for the Portland Mercury about his enjoy on a excursion of Portland, OR's so-called Shanghai Tunnels. Streckert has worked for Portland Walking Tours himself, and is acquainted with the story of these tunnels (which can be in reality just a basement). He announces them to be not anything more than an urban legend and cites quite a lot of evidence to again that up. 

"Most of that 'investigation' consisted of Bagans yelling at the air, asking if any specific ghosts were around, and pointing various gadgets at nooks and crannies." Joe wrote. "The gadgets would go 'BRAPPBRAPPBRAPP!' after which Bagans would say 'Yes? Hello?' or something to that effect. This continued for some time. Static. Yelling. More static. More yelling. Speculation on the part of the audience that they'd heard something. Static. Boredom."

So, it might seem, truth is within the eye of the beholder.

What about the generation and kit they use to locate spirits?

I'm not positive where I land on the question of whether or not ghosts exist, however I'm indubitably open to the idea, especially if science is in a position to support their lifestyles. And Ghost Adventures turns out to make use of a lot of era and tools to hit upon and keep up a correspondence with paranormal beings. But is any of this tech legit? Let's discover some of the not unusual instruments they use on the display.

Just as a cloud may look precisely like an elephant or your grandma's face, it's just our human mind's herbal tendency to wish to in finding order in what is random. When taking note of white noise or static, one's brain would possibly interpret random sounds as words, and scientists who study pareidolia suggest these interpretations come, no longer from spirits, but out of your subconscious. So whilst you might imagine 100 percent that you heard the words "Go away!" it's just your mind, fueled perhaps through heightened nervousness and worry, sending you the ones messages.

What is EVP? Are spirit containers real?

EVP stands for digital voice phenomenon, and it is principally the keystone of paranormal investigation. Many ghost hunters and spiritualists imagine they've captured voices from the beyond speaking over radio static or different white noise. However, maximum scientists imagine what's if truth be told going on is a phenomenon referred to as pareidolia.

Whether you imagine in the paranormal or no longer, it is clear Zac and Aaron do. Either that or they're giving Daniel Day-Lewis a run for his cash within the manner performing division. They're been as much as this for over a decade now, and so they haven't dropped the act even once. 

Ghost Adventures returns with all new episodes on February 23, 2019 at 9 p.m. ET.
