Origins[edit]
Ghost Adventures began as an independent film, produced in a documentary style. It was filmed in 2004 and produced by 4Reel Productions in 2006. The Syfy Channel premiered 4Reel's Ghost Adventures on July 25, 2007. The documentary centered on the trio's investigation of alleged paranormal activity in and around Virginia City, Nevada. The crew returned there during the series' fifth season.[2] The film also featured the Goldfield Hotel in Goldfield, Nevada, to which the crew later returned during the series' fourth and seventh seasons and caught more substantial evidence. The documentary was released on DVD by Echo Bridge Home Entertainment on October 5, 2010.[3]

Summary[edit]
![Ghost Adventures Episodes Ghost Adventures Episodes](/uploads/1/2/4/9/124906108/720247638.jpg)
Zak Bagans, Nick Groff (seasons 1–10), Aaron Goodwin, Billy Tolley, and Jay Wasley investigate reportedly haunted locations, hoping to collect visual or auditory evidence of paranormal activity. Each episode begins with the crew touring the investigation site with its owners or caretakers. These introductions typically include Bagans's voice-overs of the site's history as well as interviews with people who claim to have witnessed paranormal phenomena there. On the basis of these interviews, the crew place X's with black or gray tape at the sites of some serious alleged paranormal activity. They later return to these spots in order to set up static night-vision cameras to try and film it happening.

After completing the walk-through they discuss their strategy, then are locked in the location overnight, which they believe will prevent 'audio contamination' and extraneous shadows. They use a variety of equipment, including digital thermometers, electromagnetic field (EMF) meters, handheld digital video cameras, audio recorders, the Ovilus device, point of view cameras, and infrared night-vision cameras in an effort to capture evidence of ghosts. The members sometimes place objects and shout verbal taunts they believe ghosts might move or respond to.
At the end of the episode they analyze their audio, photographs, and video footage, often with the assistance of alleged paranormal experts, and present anything they feel is 'unexplained phenomena' to the audience.
During the series the crew claims to have captured and experienced various Fortean phenomena, which they say include simultaneous equipment malfunctions such as battery drain, voltage spikes, fluctuations in electromagnetic fields, sudden changes in temperature (such as cold spots), unexplained noises, electronic voice phenomena (EVP), and apparitions.
The crew also claim to have recorded spirit possessions on video. Bagans believes that he was possessed at the Preston School of Industry and at Poveglia Island in Italy. Groff claims that he was overtaken by a 'dark energy' at the Moon River Brewing Company. Goodwin claims he was 'under the influence of a dark spirit' at Bobby Mackey's Music World and Winchester Mystery House.[4] Goodwin later states in his blog that he determined that the spirit from Bobby Mackey's was actually more of a spirit guide than a dark spirit who guides him in his life.[5]
Cast and crew[edit]
The permanent members of the cast and crew are Zak Bagans and Aaron Goodwin.[6]

Cast members[edit]
Zak Bagans[edit]
Aaron Goodwin[edit]
Aaron Goodwin (born April 1, 1976)[citation needed] is an equipment technician, camera operator, co-investigator of Ghost Adventures and is originally from Portland, Oregon.
Before joining Bagans and Groff, Goodwin had worked as a camera operator for Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) and several behind-the-scenes film premieres in Las Vegas.[7] Goodwin says that prior to his experiences in Virginia City, Nevada,[8] he 'never really thought twice about ghosts.' Goodwin is often left alone in the alleged 'hotspots' during lockdowns to see how the spirits will react to Goodwin being alone.[9][10]
Goodwin sells a line of clothing bearing the label 'Big Steppin'.[11]
Billy Tolley[edit]
Having a solid background in audio editing and production software, Tolley was first intrigued by the paranormal after learning about electronic voice phenomena (EVP). With several years of experience in music and audio production, his curiosity led him to investigate and capture EVPs for himself.
Tolley's fascination with the paranormal field grew stronger, and in 2006, he founded a paranormal group with some friends – the Las Vegas Paranormal Investigations of Mysterious Phenomena Squad (LV PIMPS). He started sharing details of his audio captures with Zak Bagans and joined the Ghost Adventures series as one of the paranormal investigation team's audio/visual technicians and EVP analysts.[12]
Jay Wasley[edit]
Wasley started his film-making career in Philadelphia, PA. as a director of photography and audio engineer. Since 2002, he has worked on dozens of feature films, documentaries, television shows, national commercials and music videos.
Wasley joined Ghost Adventures in season 4 as the paranormal investigation team's sound mixer, and has since evolved into one of the show's audio/visual technicians and cinematographers. Throughout the series, Wasley travels with the team to domestic and international locations rumored to be haunted in search of evidence proving the existence of the supernatural.[12]
Nick Groff[edit]
Nicholas Groff (born April 19, 1980) was a co-investigator and executive producer of Ghost Adventures, as well as an editor and cameraman for the show from seasons 1-10. Groff was an executive producer for a show on the Travel Channel called Vegas Stripped, a behind-the-scenes look at the operations of the South Point Hotel, Casino & Spa in Las Vegas, Nevada. Born in San Jose, California, Groff grew up in New England. He graduated from Pelham High School in New Hampshire and later studied film at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, where he met Aaron Goodwin. At the age of eight he fell out of a tree in the yard of his family's home in Salem, New Hampshire, which Groff described as 'a near-death experience'.
Two years later, while at home alone, Groff saw what he claims to have been a ghostly black figure. In a 2012 interview, Groff questioned, 'Was it my imagination? Or was it something from my accident that made me more open to that world?'[13]
Groff befriended Bagans during his wedding in Las Vegas.[8][14] Groff claims he was possessed by an entity at the Moon River Brewing Company in Savannah, Georgia and says it was one of his 'most life-changing experiences'.[15] According to Groff, an encounter with a female spirit at the Linda Vista Community Hospital in East Los Angeles, California gave him insights into life after death. Groff was allegedly possessed in Natchez, Mississippi during the investigation of King's Tavern.
On November 24, 2014, Groff announced that he would not be returning to Ghost Adventures for the upcoming season. Groff has since produced his own series titled Ghost Stalkers, and is currently starring in another show of his Paranormal Lockdown, where he is the lead investigator.[16]Groff released an album titled The Other Side. The lyrics recall Groff's spiritual journey.[17] He also has a clothing line named 'Phantom Collection'.[18] Groff and his wife Veronique reside in Massachusetts with their two daughters.[17]
