A screenshot of the title in the introduction of the original 2006 documentary film, which was re-edited for and re-premiered on October 17, 2008 on the Travel Channel.

Ghost Adventures is a one-hour weekly American paranormal reality television series that premiered on October 17, 2008, on the Travel Channel. The program features ghost hunters Zak Bagans, Nick Groff, and Aaron Goodwin, who investigate places that are reported to be haunted. The show is based on a 2006 documentary film. The Sci-Fi Channel presented 4Reel Productions' Ghost Adventures: The Documentary Film in 2006. The documentary centers on Bagans, Groff, and Goodwin's investigation into alleged paranormal activity in and around Virginia City, Nevada.

Contents

[edit] Format

Bagans, Groff, and Goodwin investigate allegedly haunted locations, hoping to capture visual or audio evidence of paranormal activity. Each episode begins with the crew touring the investigation site with its owners or caretakers. These introductions typically include interviews with persons who claim to have witnessed paranormal activity at the location. The team places a black "X" at the sites of alleged activity and later returns to place static night vision cameras at these "hot spots." After completing the tour, Bagans, Groff, and Goodwin plan their investigation strategy and then are locked into the investigation site by themselves for a dusk until dawn investigation. During the investigation, Bagans, Groff, and Goodwin use a variety of equipment, including digital thermometers, EMF detectors, night vision cameras, handheld digital video cameras, digital audio recorders, and infrared cameras in an effort to capture evidence. At the end of each episode, the crew analyzes the captured audio and video footage (often with the assistance of "paranormal experts") and presents any captured evidence.



[edit] Episodes

Note: In this list, the major phenomena captured are listed in chronological order and may be divided into the following categories: apparition, EVP, moving object, physical harm, temperature change, unexplained sound, and other phenomenon.
