Here is the text:
The Seekers
These guys don’t wait for a holiday to venture to haunted locations -- they do it year-round as their job. Zak Bagans, Nick Groff, and Aaron Goodwin started their ghost investigating out of curiosity, but after traveling through the entire state of Nevada to create a documentary film on the supernatural, they realized they had found their niche. Their film won awards, aired on Sci Fi (now Syfy), and eventually landed them a spot on the Travel Channel with their own show, Ghost Adventures.
With Bagans leading the way, the three use a slightly different method to investigate the paranormal: a raw approach that utilizes their own emotions to attract spirits.
“The best piece of equipment you can [have] is your body,” Bagans says.
He equates their methods to the ways that detectives approach homicides. They don’t just run around in the dark, he says. Rather, the team conducts full-on investigations, integrating technology, research, and past reports to make conclusions about the locations they visit.
But this job is not for the yellow-bellied types; Bagans has been scratched and attacked by demons while investigating, and, yes, it’s always a possibility that an entity can possess you, he says.
An experience at Magnolia Plantation in Natchitoches, Louisiana, still lingers with him today. After discovering hoodoo and voodoo spirits in the old slave cabins, Bagans raised his voice and reached out to them. He and Goodwin then began to hear ritual chants and felt a wave of energy overcome their bodies.
“I don’t know what happened there,” Bagans recalls. “I wonder if a spell [was] put on us.”
Oftentimes, Bagans explains, the energy he feels can’t really be put into words or conveyed to the audience by the camera.
If you have the courage to explore, check out Bagans’s top three creepiest places, detailed below. But if you prefer your chills and thrills on the tube, catch the new season of Ghost Adventures, which begins this month and airs every Friday at nine p.m. Eastern time on the Travel Channel.
Bobby Mackey’s Music World; Wilder, Kentucky
This former 1800s slaughterhouse is also referred to as Hell’s Gate because of the well in the basement that was at one time used in satanic rituals (blood, dead animals, and even the head of a murdered woman were discarded in it). It was here that Bagans was attacked by a demon, and the trio captured an apparition, witnessed an exorcism during their live event, and saw a bishop get assaulted. www.bobbymackey.com
Poveglia, Italy
During the fourteenth century, this island was used to isolate those infected with the black death and served as a dumping ground for thousands of corpses. While here, Bagans was overcome by the darkest energy he’s ever experienced in his life, and the team captured unbelievable paranormal evidence. Theory states that spirits can’t cross flowing water, which lends to the idea that this location is one of the most haunted places in the world.
Preston Castle; Ione, California
Bagans was partially possessed for the first time in his life at Preston Castle, which was a reform school for boys in the early 1900s. The brutal murder of Anna Corbin occurred in 1957, and her ghost is said to haunt the building; there’s even a cemetery on the premises where inmates who died while there are buried. While investigating Preston, the three heard countless voices and saw a mistlike apparition, and Goodwin was attacked. www.prestoncastle.com
