REVIEW: Ghost Adventures - Gates of Hell House - US Airdate 23/02/2019

"What's this?" I hear you shout. "Why yes, it is a review of the brand new season of Ghost Adventures"

Yes it is true, Season 18 of GA started last night (23rd February) in the States, and since it has been a while since i watched the show, I thought I would give it a chance and see if anything has changed since the last time I watched and reviewed. I think the last season I did was season 14, and I managed 5 or 6 episodes, before it got so repetitive and tedious that my head exploded, and I gave up.

So they have had 4 seasons, and nearly 2 years to sort things out and become a credible paranormal investigation show, what do you think? Did they achieve that? Or is it the same old fake crap it has always been? Let us find out.

First up, we need to look at that "Synopsis" (Must be said in an American accent)

"The crew are in Las Vegas, NV, to investigate intense paranormal activity at The Freakling Bros. Trilogy of Terror, an infamous haunted attraction where employees have reported brushes with a terrifying shadow figure ..."

Whereas Most Haunted start their show by admitting it is faked, Ghost Adventures start their show off by telling you that it might scare you. Very interesting tactic.

GA airs on The Travel Channel in the USA, a channel that shows such great TV series like Baggage Battles, Chowdown Countdown and Bite Me with Dr. Mike.

This is clearly a very high brow channel, that only airs the most serious of programming.

Now keep in mind I have no idea who any of the characters are other than Zak.

"We have spent years building our credibility, our reputation" - Zak

Sorry to say Zak you have pretty much failed on that.

So according to the intro package there are 4 people, Zak "Don't call me Bilbo" Bagans, Aaron "Goonies" Goodwin, Billy "Tesco" Tolley and Jay "Wasssup" Wasley.

4 middle aged white guys. Between the 4 of them I heard that they have had sex a combined 3 times in their lives. That's pretty good for ghost hunters.

Why is Zak wearing glasses that don't look to have any lenses? Is this a Yank thing?

Ok so this week they are at a place called The Freakling Bros. Trilogy of Terror, and from what I can understand, this is a fake Haunted Attraction thing. Created in 1976.

So GA are investigating a 43 year old theme park style haunted house. Now come on, this is taking the piss. They have clearly been paid to do a show at a FAKE haunted house attraction, and then claim it is really haunted, in the hope it makes more people visit this place. I remind you of Zak's earlier quote.

"We have spent years building our credibility, our reputation" - Zak

Straight away Zak has put on his ridiculous breathing mask, I remember this from before, he has Asthma or something and instead of using an inhaler like normal people, he wears a ridiculous mask so that he can pretend to be Bane. Lets not give him anymore attention that he clearly desperately craves for his ridiculous mask.

Well things have picked up quickly, we get an interview with the scary Staysha Randall. A former performer at The Freakling Bros.

Not even gonna comment on this.

They leave the area, but Staysha had to go back to get her purse, and when she comes back she claims to have seen a ghostly hand. Of course none of this is on camera.

The team quickly start investigating and put on the thoroughly debunked and completely pointless Spirit Box.

The box says "Trinity", which is quickly related to the Unholy Trinity, 666 and all that nonsense.

We are getting lots of people claiming to be touched, and in pain. Zak is feeling negative energy in his spine.

It is really hard to follow what is going on as the camera darts back and forth so quick, and the ridiculous Spirit Box makes such a racket. I am not sure how any of this equates to "investigating".

They move to another area and now they are interviewing another former performer from The Freakling Bros. This guy literally only worked there one night and then quit, after he was scratched by a ghost.

Every time Zak speaks while wearing his dumb mask, I cant help but laugh, I know it is supposed to add to the atmosphere, but it really just looks and sounds silly.

Some of the other guys have put the Spirit Box on, when suddenly everything goes a bit crazy, and I see a ghost, on screen, which in turn scares them, cue running, screaming and general panic. Now I have paused the show, and without knowing what they are about to show or say, I am 100% sure this is one of the gimmicks in the location that has activated, and that is what has scared them.

And as expected, they had activated a witch gimmick, but they are claiming that the motion sensor in the fake witch had been removed and she is not supposed to go off.

I repeat Zak's quote.
"We have spent years building our credibility, our reputation"

In a matter of 11 minutes, if I was to believe that quote, then their credibility and reputation is in tatters.

So they are investigating a haunted house, and one of the displays has scared them, and they are trying to claim that a ghost is what activated the display.

Too many face palms already for me.

We are introduced to John Shaw, a Satanist. I like this guy, he looks like fun.

He talks about the Satanist symbols, and so on. All relatively interesting.

Some excellent beard-scaping from this guy.

As I watch this, it becomes clear that this is not a paranormal investigation, not in the same way that Most Haunted pretends to be a paranormal investigation, if you know what I mean. This is purely presented as an entertainment based TV show that happens to have paranormal investigating as the theme.

On Aarons phone, Siri suddenly says "Did you accidentally summon me?"

Yes really. The ghost has taken over Aaron's phone. Well only for one message.

Also interesting to note that so far the whole show has been filmed and presented in normal vision, no night vision or green filters.

The cast have now started hearing noises, but the fact they are in a haunted house, with power to the gimmicks still on, means that 100% of what happens can easily be dismissed due to the lack of controls.

And before you know it they have switched night vision on.

Zak is talking about feeling a pain, it was OFF CAMERA, but another camera picked up the audio of him screaming. So if we take him at his word (a big mistake), the first thought I would have is he had a muscle spasm, which can bloody hurt.

Worth saying that these Haunted House Attractions can be quiet scary if they are well made, and imagine investigating one when it is closed, even the most hardened of skeptics would feel their heart pumping fast. Not because there are any real ghosts, but because you know these places are full of jump scare gimmicks, and the anxiety of one of these going off even by accident would get you going.

Aaron has gone off to investigate on his own, and is starting to panic a bit as he is in the area where the animatronic witch gimmick went off earlier. It is really scary looking to be fair.

I am widely regarded as the toughest skeptic on the planet, but even the great JD would wet himself if that thing went off without warning.

Aaron walks right up the the witch, and walks past the gimmick, and disappointingly it doesn't go off.

Bizarrely Zak has turned into a 3 year old, and is making a silly voice and pulling faces, and pretending to be a fan of the show who is moaning because he sent Aaron in on his own and Zak didn't go with him.

Just over half the episode gone now, and I am getting a bit bored.

Regardless of what you think of the show, it is hard to deny that this is one really well made Haunted House. Looks scary as hell, so purely as a PR stunt by the owners, this must be working and they will get more tourists coming to visit.

More Spirit Box nonsense, and now the ghost is speaking in Spanish, and then English

They pull out a new thermo cam thingy that one of the guys has made. Looks pretty cool to be fair.
One thing you can always say about Ghost Adventures, is that they do spend some money on nice gimmicks and expensive cameras. No expense spared.

One episode of Ghost Adventures costs more than an entire season of Most Haunted to make. This is why Ghost Adventures has totally replaced Most Haunted as the Worlds number one fake ghost hunting show.

I have to admit I prefer Most Haunted purely because I am not a fan of shows that are overly produced, which Ghost Adventures is. And the really amateur attempts of fakery on Most Haunted are more amusing.

Whatever you think of the show, this is an epic shot as they walk towards "The Gates of Hell".

Zak has pulled out his Xbox Kinect nonsense, so again another piece of 100% debunked technology they are using to find stick figures, or shapes. Total waste of time. At least the Thermo cam looks cool.

As expected they get a stick figure, again no point even talking about this as the technology is 100% understood, and this is 100% not a ghost.

They check the digital recorder, for EVPs nothing of interest.

They check the "X Camera" which was left in the previous location and it picks up a noise, again because it is a gimmicked haunted house, and noises can be put down to being the machinery etc.

During this episode I have not seen any obviously faked activity, so I wouldn't say the show is faked in the same way that Most Haunted is, but the show is faked due to their flawed investigation methods and the way they present that "evidence" as something it is clearly not. I would be surprised to accept that the crew are not aware of the truth, so I assume they just play along as they know it makes better TV if they use spirit boxes and Kinect sensors and so on.

A gate suddenly slams behind them. OFF CAMERA. And when they investigate they catch an orb go through the gate, and by orb I mean an insect.

More nonsense from the spirit box.

Suddenly Zak is communicating with the ghosts and claiming they are trying to possess him. Did Zak always do this or is this a new thing? All a bit silly.

We get some quick replays of various nonsense that happened throughout the episode and with that the show ends.

The show does tick along at a decent rate, and it is entertaining to watch. As a paranormal investigation it is completely pointless as it does not present any credible evidence whatsoever.

They are also not deliberately faking things, but they are presenting fake results as if they are credible.

I don't think I will bother reviewing any more, as this is no different to what they were doing 2 years ago, it is a set formula, and it bores me.

I give the episode 4 out of 10, I suspect if I watched this show week in and week out that score would be lower. It only gets a 4 as I am coming to the show as a new viewer. But it did not offer me enough to keep me as a viewer.

Review: Ghost Adventures - Season 14, Episode 5 April 22, 2017 (Silent Movie Theater)

After a painful week of pissing off UKTV and Most Haunted by exposing their so called Ghost (even though I did it a month ago, the episode only aired this past week so was new for everyone else, but old for me) I am back to my now world famous Ghost Adventures review, and I feel like one of these people.

Filthy Blurbage
"GAC arrive in sunny Los Angeles to investigate the infamous Silent Movie Theater on Fairfax Avenue. During their lockdown, Zak delves deep into a double-murder of the theater's owner and a candy counter girl, learns of the strange death of a silent film preservationist who lived at the theater, and even contacts deceased actor Douglas Fairbanks."

So this week we are in Los Angeles, California, and specifically at the infamous Silent Movie Theatre on Fairfax Avenue, why is it infamous I hear you ask? Well some people got murdered, and its a tourist attraction, which combined means we need to call in middle aged male virgins to investigate.

We start off with Zak "Don't call me Biggins" Bagans with his automated robotic voice over. Before cutting to the gang in the car.

The sun is out which can only mean you need to put your beanie hat on to cover up your terrible dye job and dodgy hair implants.

We hear the story of the Silent Movie Theater and it really is very interesting, and I would happily advise everyone to look it up and read about the history.

Why is it that all the people who run these locations regardless of if on Ghost Adventures of Most Haunted, always look weird as hell. Anyway we quickly meet Drew Foster, followed by some really terrible acting by Zak, in an attempt to replicate some silent movie comedy. They then cram into the smallest place they can to continue the awkwardness, all of which Drew is absolutely loving, I am guessing this is the most human contact he has had in years.

I am sure there is some penetration in this scene, but from who to who will forever remain a mystery.

I'm really enjoying Drew Foster and how awkward he is making Biggins feel. Even if the Ghost Adventures edit has totally stitched Drew up, I still think he is already the star of the episode. I would rather watch him each week than Zak and the Virgins.

We now cut to a scene "in between" their interviews, and Mike, their really really camp audio guy has seen a ghost! And by ghost I mean his own shadow.

He is very much like Cameron Tucker from Modern Family, both in looks and mannerisms. Very funny. And even Zak makes a reference to ghosts being "in the closet." I will leave that right there I think.

Zak brings out that really loud spirit box thingy, and asks a question, and a voice can be heard saying "Ess", which Zak decides is "Yes". Quick reminder that any such things are evidentially worthless, and even Most Haunted have stated they don't use such equipment since they are unreliable and can pick up radio waves.

They then film a "Heat Signature" on the leather chair which "no one" was sitting on.

Now lets just say if you wanted to fake such a thing it would be incredibly easy, and since they have no footage of the chair before, during and after, this evidence is worthless and sadly typical of the lack of any kind of scientific approach by this bunch of amateurs.

We are then introduced to "World Renowned" Psychics, Michael and Marti Parry. So world renowned in fact that I have never heard of them, and psychics are kind of my thing in case you didn't know.

They are blindfolded for some reason, I am guessing to convince the gullible viewers that they don't know where they are. Now there are lots of theatres in LA as Zak informs us, and since this theatre is famous for a murder, and has had many a ghost group investigate it previously and Michael and Marti Parry are not only from LA, but also according to their site have worked with pretty much every big name Ghost Hunting group, the idea that they have never been here before or wouldn't know its history is laughable considering the jobs they are in.

Their website averages only 1000 visitors per month since its inception in 2009, to put that into some kind of perspective, this article I am writing right now, will have twice that by this time tomorrow if not sooner. So to call them World Renowned clearly doesn't equate to popularity.

I quickly checked my archives and we have never covered them, and there isn't really much about them of interest online either. So guessing they came on the show for free or on the cheap.

Marti Parry likes to draw the spirits and Michael Parry is gonna try and communicate with his mind to the spirits. "Coincidentally" Michael sits in the exact spot that they saw the "ghost" sit the night before.

No, not that Marti.

Michael already claims he is speaking to a ghost, and that the ghost said he usually sits there. It is almost as if Michael had watched the footage from the night before. Michael claims the ghost is saying that is his spot on the settee.

Not quite but close enough I guess.

Now the settee is right in the middle of the theatre at the front, psychologically it is the spot everyone is most drawn too, front and centre is the best spot in any theatre, and when all the chairs behind are typical theatre chairs and here is this big comfy sofa, of course you will be drawn to it. So even if this isn't obviously a set up, you can still explain it through a likely coincidence.

Literally the best seat in the house, also note that the cameras and cameramen were already moving to that position to film, so with Michael following them, it only makes sense for him to sit in the best position for them to film him. Sorry guys but not buying any of this ghost chair nonsense.

We then hear a strange sound which is blatantly done by Marti who is conveniently covering her mouth with her clip board.

As you can see she usually draws her pictures with the clip board down, but decides to cover her face right when there is a noise! What do you think?

We cut to the other fake psychic who states that he is getting the name "Douglas Fairbanks" which totally exposes the fact he knows exactly where he is, which theatre, prior research and all that.

He could have at least tried to ham it up a bit, gone with a "D sounding name", or struggled with the surname, saying it wrong etc, but nope, he just comes straight out with it.

Michael tells Zak that the spirit has gotten inside him.

Zak says that he feels like he needs to run, so he does, when he comes back Michael proudly shows that he wrote down the word "Legs" as proof that the spirit was communicating with him, of course we see this "Legs" written not before Zak said he wanted to run, but after, written down away from the camera.

Zak is amazed, because Zak is an idiot, and Zak has no idea how psychics want to scam you.

Even funnier we actually get to see what Michael wrote on his pad.

Michael states confidently that it says "Run Legs"

Another classic trick of the fake psychic, scribble something eligible, and then make it fit after the event. Again we did not see the point this was written down as no camera was on him.

If you think this is worthy evidence, then I have some great time share to sell you in Morocco, just drop me a message with your credit card number and we can chat!

Zak informs Marti and Michael that they are in the Silent Movie Theatre, they do their best "Are we really, I had no idea" faces.

We next get to see the drawings by Marti.

Not a bad drawing I guess, but if you took the cigarette away that he was famous for smoking, does it really look like him?

@ElizabethJBond on Twitter suggested it looks more like Walt Disney!

Who else do you think it looks like? Leave your suggests in the comments section with any link to an image.

Either way this all stinks, Michael comes out with the exact name, no messing about, and Marti draws a male smoking a cigarette that looks basically like him.
Clearly this is not the first time they have visited this location, nor the first time they have researched the location either.

Finally they get rid of the two fake psychics and start the investigation.

"OMG There is a little person on his shoulder!"
Hahaha, I did laugh out loud at this bit.

I think I mentioned this in a previous review, but they are filming in the dark, they are using face/body detection type software, which is unreliable in full light, never mind in the dark. It is designed to always look for figures/faces regardless of if any are really there. This whole scene is 100% unscientific and rather laughable. Apparently spirits are now 1 and a half foot tall too.

It has become really difficult for me to keep interested in the show now, when it is so obviously faked, and played off as real it annoys me so much I just want to turn off. Clearly the two psychics were fake, no doubt about that. Zak is probably the least educated person I have ever seen on any paranormal TV show when it comes to the genre. His idiocy knows no bounds.

Although Most Haunted will fake things, they do so in more of a naive manner, its all faked I get that, but Ghost Adventures biggest problem is that it is over the top fake. And I can only repeat myself so many times.

And just when I thought it couldn't get any worse....

Yes its an orb. A piece of dust close to the lens out of the focal point of the camera is then mentioned by Zak. The fact that he mentions this at all must tell you all he is either a complete idiot, or he thinks his fans are idiots.

Sorry to say but I just fast forwarded through the rest of the episode, there was a noise of a chair being pushed up, they got that "Person of restricted growth" spirit again, some worthless EVPs, and some spirit box crap.

I think this episode was the worst I have ever seen for such obvious fakery.
And this might be the final episode I review cause it was just so bad.

If you watched it and disagree with me please leave a comment below.

Review: Ghost Adventures - Season 14, Episode 4 April 15, 2017 (Double Eagle Restaurant)

Before I start if you have not watched this episode yet you can do so at this link on Amazon

So here I am once again with my Ghost Adventures review, and the best thing about these reviews is that I am not getting threatening emails from UKTV about them. Like seriously do UKTV even understand how the TV business works! For those wondering I will publish my episode 3 review of Most Haunted after episode 2 airs. Also as predicted the new Bulldog on Most Haunted has instantly become the most popular character on the show, he even has his own excellent Twitter Account that you all really should go follow. He is a very clever dog. Shame he will be put down at the end of the series, or be "accidentally" run over by Karl when he is reversing his 4x4 out of the drive one day.

Anyway onto Bilbo Baggins and his crew of half wits, or Ghost Adventures as you might know it as. 

Spunky Blurb
"Zak and the crew travel to New Mexico to investigate the Double Eagle Restaurant and the Dona Ana County Courthouse; both buildings have been plagued by death, leading to poltergeist activity that torments investigators."

4 Episodes in and I am starting to see a trend, all these places are also tourist attractions, what an unlikely coincidence dont you think.

Episode starts and I am instantly reminded of Zak and his lack of reading ability. Why cant they find a professional voice over artist to read the narration, instead of forcing Zak to do it. He sounds like a robot, a constipated, intellectually inferior robot.


So the crew are in New Mexico, for those in the UK, New Mexico is a bit like regular Mexico, except the white man invaded and decided it was theirs and called it New.

Excellent production value as always, we get drone shots from above, and even this sweet walk in by the crew, this could be in a movie about middle aged white men who have never had sex and think that ghosts are real! What a great film that would be.

So to start off we are informed that the Ghost Adventures crew have been called in to help Paranormal Investigators who have been baffled by events, and one of them was attacked by a ghost! One of them had been scratched by a ghost on the back of his neck. Hmmm remind you of anyone?

They enter the Double Eagle Restaurant, Zak is NOT wearing his beanie hat, I repeat NO BEANIE HAT! Looking at his hair, he has recently had a dye job, and hair replacement, so guessing he wants to show it off.

We get to meet the manager of the Restaurant, Jerry Harrell, a man I have instantly decided I like and who is completely honest and trust worthy, that is right up until I heard about this....

God damn it Jerry! Why did you have to spoil things by banning nude people. Who wouldn't want to see some meat and two veg next to their meat and two veg?

Karl Beattie

Whats the worst that could happen?

Ok lost my train of thought, what were we doing again? Oh yes grown men who have never had sex pretending that ghosts are real.

We get some nice stories by the nude hating Jerry Harrell, with some great recreations of these murders at the location.

They head off to the "Ghost Room" something that Jerry never calls it, he just called it a dining room, but that doesn't fit Zak's agenda so he repeatedly calls it the Ghost Room.

We are told of two haunted chairs, that if you sit in them, when you get home you will have nightmares. Yes people are dumb.

Some hanging crystals on the candelabra are moving a bit, clearly this is a ghost, and nothing to do with a load of people moving about in a small room with cameras and so on. No must be the ghosts. In the mean time Zak sits in one of the haunted chairs.

You know if I owned a building that I was convinced was haunted, I would spend a few grand and cover the whole place with HD security cameras, funny how no one ever does that right?

We meet a woman who does something or is something to do with something, I wasn't paying attention to be honest, anyway they have a gust of air or something, the thermo camera is on, and the woman has cold hands!

The camera man has warm hands, but hers are cold.

What could explain this? The man holding the big piece of electrical equipment has warm hands, and the woman who is doing nothing with her hands, has cold hands. I really cant think of any reason why an overweight woman would have bad circulation. Therefore surely it is the ghosts again.

The crew now decide to go to a neighbouring town to meet up with the group of investigators I mentioned earlier who had been a victim of an attack from the ghosties.

We meet Pat Olona, a paranormal investigator, and we hear the story and see the footage of one of his investigators getting scratched by a ghost. And by ghost I mean he scratched his own neck when no one was looking.

Looking up this guys group and they are a simple Ghost Adventures clone group, same kind of equipment, desperate to be on TV, usual nonsense opinions from a bunch of amateurs using equipment they don't understand.

There is the scratch, now, get your own hand, reach across your body to the back of your neck, and mime the scratch action to yourself, notice the most natural direction the scratch goes if you did it to yourself. Now look it his scratch. Yep matches it perfectly right. Its cold, you scratch yourself in a quick motion, and I bet it looks exactly like that.

Ask yourself what is more likely? ALL of physics and science is wrong, the Large Hadron Collider, the single most sensitive piece of equipment on the planet that has ever existed, that is wrong too, and this guy was scratched by a ghost. OR he did it to himself, and no laws of science have to be rewritten.

To quote William of Ockham
"Entia non sunt multiplicanda praeter necessitatem."

Zak has put on his mask for his asthma, if you had allergy induced asthma would you get into a business which meant you had to walk about old dusty buildings?

Or perhaps it is just a gimmick, and he is just into weird things?

I'm not saying that Zak Bagans has a gas mask fetish, no I am not saying that at all. 

Zak is stood looking at a reflection of himself in a window, he is zoning out, God I hope he goes full on Derek Acorah and gives us a possession, it seems so long since we had anything like that on a TV show. I miss those days.

We are about half way through the episode and I am struggling to be honest. But I am hoping things improve.

Zak is investigating back at the Restaurant and films a shadow which of course cant be any of the people present because that would just be ridiculous, on a different camera a light anomaly appears. Zak informs us in a voice over that they have debunked any suggestion that it could be an insect, and that it remains unexplained. 

There ya go, they are experts after all, if they say it wasn't a bug then who are we to disagree. Not like they have anything to gain by lying do they.

While filming through a window, something the other side conveniently falls.

We then have a hilarious couple of minutes whereby they pretend to not know how to get to the area the other side of the window.

But the funny thing is, it is literally a 5 second walk from where they was, and worse than that a huge camera on a tripod is set up right next to where the thing fell.

We find out it was a plastic sign that fell, and Zak proclaims this as concrete evidence of poltergeist activity.

The problem is, the whole scene is so obviously staged and faked, and the awkwardness of them pretending to not know how to get to the other side of the window really does expose them.

And even worse than that, right after it happens, Zak checks the camera back, and sees the footage, the other cameraman goes to high five him, but Zak responds with a fist bump, in what might be the most awkward moment in the history of the white man.

They try to get the sign to fall again, and of course it doesn't but then they hear something behind them. They investigate, but don't find anything.

They have now fixed a camera on this guys back to film his neck in the hope they can recreate the ghost neck scratch stunt of the other paranormal group. They are in the exact same spot too. We get a lot of close ups of this guys neck. Nothing happens, making this entire experiment a waste of time.

We get the usual EVP nonsense too, really poor even by Ghost Adventures standards, complete waste of time, evidentially worthless, blah blah blah.

They head off to the Ghost Room when suddenly Zak is struck by a powerful unseen force. He claims that something went through him! Could be last nights curry? I know when I have one it goes through me pretty quick too.

The replay is unconvincing and just looks like Zak over acting. Look guys if you want to make it appear like a spirit is pulling you back or pushing you over, you need to attach some cable to your belt and get a bald cable guy off camera to pull you quick, trust me no one will ever find out how you did it.

Zak spouts off some nonsense about an astral plane, a mirror being a portal, and some other mumbo jumbo that he picked up from watching some 70s horror movie, that or Scooby Doo.

And then it is revealed there is a full moon too! What more evidence do skeptics need. Quick call Brian Cox and tell him that the Ghost Adventures crew have got proof.

The other half of the crew turn on the spirit box, apparently a woman's voice saying hi can be heard, sounded like static to me. The machine is so loud anyway, it is useless.

Can someone look up the statistics of ghost hunters dying in mysterious circumstances, unexplained murders etc, because if these idiots are to be believed, it means there are thousands of paranormal investigators around the world inviting demons and evil spirits to attack them.

Personally I have tried it all and nothing has ever happened to me.

Zak and crew try to contact the dead again using the Paranormal PUK meter thingy, they've decided to speak in Spanish to the spirits to make it easier for them to reply, unfortunately they forgot to input any Spanish words into the PUK which means the ghosts are replying in English.

The spirits reveal they were murdered with a BOOT, and also the following.

So they admit from the afterlife that they were killed by a Boot, Memories and a tickle! Yes Skeptics suck on that 100% proof of the afterlife!

From that Zak deduces that they were in bed having sex when they were murdered. Yes really.

Finally they ask the ghosts if they are here with them, Kind of a silly question since they already been getting answers, and they answer in Spanish! Well sort of.

Ok for any of the 'noobs' out there, this machine is nothing more than a random word generator, they input a limited number of words into its memory, ask a question, and a random word is chosen, they then make fit whatever it says to the agenda and story line they are pushing, this is not spirit communication people.

With the apparent success of the PUK thingy, Zak decides to undo the serious damage committed earlier to white men the world over, and goes for a successful fist bump.

It hits square on, and all is right with the world again.

They ask a few more questions but nothing happens.

They do a final sweep of the room, and "something remarkable happens to Billy"
His shirt which is slightly tucked in, suddenly comes out. Yes this is the big finale. The big unexplained moment to get the world talking, his shirt comes out a bit.

And if that wont convince you then nothing will.

The investigation is over, and this was a poor episode, the only highlight was Jerry Harrell the manager of Double Eagle Restaurant, yes he has a strange unnecessary dislike of nude people, but he is still a really like-able chap, and knows how to tell a good story, and I hope his business does well.

As for the rest of the show, pretty dire, terrible "evidence" as always, not a great deal happened that couldn't easily be explained away by a 7 year old critical thinking mind. So with that I will say adiós.
