They got some great evidence, but..

9.0

By Spineshank155, May 10, 2014

I had a few problems with this including the 'edited' version mostly being since this was a 7 hour long LIVE lockdown. First off i was expecting nonstop walkthrough with this and i was hoping for a bit of a special with being able to 'hear' the evidence because i didn't watch this when i could analyze the EVP's including when they were trying to hear it when one of the guys ran off and ended up chasing after one another. I was expecting that the edited version would have had a more complete and thorough walkthrough. Didn't get to hear the the EVP's from when the fans were on the show other then that little part in the beginning.

Great epic live show but it seemed to have lacked some efficiency even though they seemed to have had all their bases covered. I don't even know where to get the EVP clips from since they are probably no longer available. Going back to the edited version they missed a few parts with it and i could have done a better job at cutting out the parts where the narrator was just talking. I know GA is mostly an hour long show cut into 40 minutes for commercials, but if this show is really about getting evidence of ghosts wouldn't you put it all up for people to see? With this live episode and from what other people say this is more of an entertainment then gaining and showing all the evidence. Not a bad thing and there was a lot going on in this lockdown, however i like this show mainly because of the evidence and not the scare level. It's pretty scary enough to have Zak and the gang go in without any light source trying to gain evidence yet what's the point of getting evidence if your leaving evidence out?moreless

Meh, it was okay

6.5

By jmbsonic555, Oct 11, 2011

I'm not one for criticising this show due to them not being able to control their evidence, but this episode was very boring, the guy threw the damn meter and put a mark on Ghost Adventures forever. overall, I would not reccomend this one to any fans, unless you're a die-hard fan.

The scream though was phenominal.

6.5 out of 10

This episode was REALLY worth the entire 7 hours. I didn't watch it live, but I did see it on Youtube for an entire night through morning.

9.5

By startug, Jan 18, 2011

When Ghost Adventures started, the show needed an uncut and raw event to show on TV. The prayer was answered and it was really a nice idea, and I do admit, I was scared for a while, and during that part, that used to be my favorite part of the event, until later. They picked one of the best spots to find ghosts and get good answers. They get a load of neat people, Chris Fleming, Debby and Mark Constantino, and the fraud, Robert Bess. I'll explain later why he was.

Chris Fleming brought an invention called the spirit box, where he can communicate with the dead. It got a lot of amazing results and nearly spooked me. It also attracted 3 ghosts, all hidden. One hid behind Chris at one point, and two hid in another room, looking like coats. It's creepy, check it out for yourself!

Then Debby and Mark Constantino came on to the show. It seemed nice at first, until it turns that Debby was fake and her recorder was already recorded with the answers and she saved her questions. Mark didn't fake it though, thank goodness. They may have found lots of spirits that have obscenities but with Debby being a fraud, I'm not sure.

Then they brought on Cowboy Bob (Robert Bess), the BEST part of the show. He made an invention called the "Parabot", and claimed it could capture spirits and make them appear. It was scary with lights and sirens on it, and it all seemed real until it turns out, he lied. All of his performance was fake, which was a great disappointment to me. He threw one of the EMF detectors 50 feet from him, he tried to make it look paranormal, and even the GAC noticed it was fake in the end when they reviewed it. They said in a positive way that it was not paranormal. Later on, Cowboy Bob decided to respond by challenging them to compete against his own paranormal show, and he said everything that happened was paranormal. I hate him very much for his fakery.

Anyway, I conclude my review by saying, I did stay up a night to watch and it was one of the coolest things I ever did. So on a weekend, Friday night at 10:00 PM, go online and find the entire special, you'll finish in about 7 hours, unless you need breaks.moreless

NOTES (1)
ADD NOTES
- This location was first investigated on TV in the Ghost Hunters episode "Haunted Asylum", but they did not investigate all the same areas in the sprawling hospital complex. It was also investigated by the cadets of Ghost Hunters Academy in the episode "Crazy For Power". In 2011, it would be the site of the first season episode of Zak Bagan's Paranormal Challenge titled "Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum".
