I have been a fan of the Ghost Adventures television show for some time now. I find it more entertaining than any other ghost hunting show on TV. I used to watch Ghost Hunters, but I have found the show to consistently get more and more stale and I hate the fact that they debunk anything and everything, finding even the most ridiculous 'explanation' for everything. That, to me, makes the show boring, because they're not capturing any evidence and instead proving everything wrong. It's almost like the Ghost Hunters crew are trying to prove that ghosts do not exist, when, if you're like me, you know they do, then it's almost borderline offensive. Plus, the GH crew has a camera crew following them around and it doesn't give you that connection to any of the actual crew. That's where the biggest difference between GH and GA lies- GA is more intimate, as the only cameras they have are the ones that Zak, Nick and Aaron carry, as well as the static ones that they set up, and they are actually trying to prove the existence of ghosts.
Now, that's not to say that Zak Bagans, Nick Groff, and Aaron Goodwin don't know the difference between a legitimate paranormal activity and something perpetrated by light or any other common factors. Indeed, GA does try to debunk things that could obviously be explained by something logical, but they don't try to debunk something that is clearly paranormal. Another thing that the GA crew brings that the GH crew lacks is their energy and their love for what they are doing. It's fun to watch their reactions to the things that occur, although throughout the show, I have not seen them react the way that they do in this documentary.
I can honestly say that this is probably the best thing that the GA crew has ever done, and that's saying a LOT. They have some phenomenal episodes of their show, such as Bobby Mackey's Music World and Rolling Hills Sanitarium, but nothing comes close to this documentary. Some of the evidence they capture is downright bone chilling, such as the apparition that walks across the ballroom at the Washoe Club or the brick flying in the Goldview Hotel. Absolutely incredible material, and while some people may think it's fake, I honestly don't. I don't see Zak as being the kind of person to fake evidence just so people will watch. Zak is too passionate about proving the existence of ghosts, and that kind of passion only comes from somebody that has experienced something paranormal after being a skeptic, as he was.
Their reactions to some of these events are incredibly funny to watch, especially if you have watched the show before you saw this documentary. In the show, they stand their ground, and Zak gets angry if any of them run. However, in this documentary, there are two different instances where they run and scream from whatever they just experienced. In fact, after the brick throwing sequence, Zak and Nick are so terrified that they escape the Goldview Hotel using a second story fire escape. It's fun to watch and it shows us just how human they are, even though in the show they act like nothing scares them.
I can't say enough about this documentary. It's never boring and they capture some great evidence and give excellent backstory on the locations that they investigate. I recommend this to anyone that is interested in ghost hunting, and to anyone that has become bored with GH, then you have a new, younger crew to satiate your craving for all things paranormal. Five out of five.
