    The EVPs were fantastic, and the teddy bear evidence was chilling

  • One of the most haunted places on the planet. Pretty freaky but I wanted more.

    I felt the interviews at the beginning were great. The stories were pretty eerie and completely true. But I was a bit disappointed to be honest. I thought there would be a little more activity and more EVP recordings but such is season one. That's the first season's flaw; they don't leave the EVP recorder on when asking questions. They did get a few taps and scratches on walls and mumblings on the EVP. And not to mention the saw/dragging sounds they heard that went on for about 6 minutes! That was creepy! Also when they left the little boy ghost some toys, they moved! That was pretty sweet but I was expecting a lot more to be honest.moreless

    ADD TRIVIA
    • Zak and his team also make a side visit to the cemetery called the Greyfriars Kirkyard (also known as Covenanters Prison) just a short distance away from the Vaults to because of the legend of the MacKenzie Poltergeist said to inhabit in one of its mausoleums. This malevolent spirit is said to be one of the most dangerous ghosts in the world, with over 400 documented attacks upon people visiting the place in the year 2008 alone, which is the same year that the GAC go to the location. They do not actually investigate the cemetery, however. Edit

    • Zak: (in the Greyfriars Kirkyard just a short walk from the Vaults) This place, these things right here, these tombs talk. And they're telling us this place had a lot of death, a lot of darkness, and this may be one of the most haunted places in the world. And we're going to find that out when we get locked down. Edit
    • Zak: (referring to The Vault's most malevolent spirit) Is Mr Boots going to be happy when the three of us are going to be locked down there? Jodie Stalker: Not a chance. He's going to be mad! Zak: Good, I want him to make him even more mad. I want to make him so mad, he takes the biggest rocks that he can find and throw them at our heads. Jodie Stalker: Oh, he might do worse. Edit
