Hey Beardo, I wanted to share my quick story regarding Zak & my Grandma. When Ghost Adventures did the Old Town SD ep in 2011, Zak stayed at the Hotel Del Coronado. My grandma Sallie worked there at the time. In a nutshell, She was his wake-up call. When the time came to call his room, he answered, listened to the greeting, and hung up without saying anything. My grandma called back because she wasn't sure if he heard or what. she called back and repeated the greeting & he yelled at her, "I GOT IT!" & slammed the phone. She also told me that the workers at the hotel were saying how he was an asshole and how he thought he was a big shot. This is a true story & my grandma Sallie is still alive to tell the story. She worked at the Hotel Del Coronado for many many years.

I watched it in the early years but noticed soon after Nick Groff left, Zak started "acting" and suddenly he's a sensitive when he wasn't before. Faking evidence and seeing Zak over dramatizing his "performance" was nauseating 🤢 🤢 I don't understand how people think that show is real.

Ghost Adventures did an episode several years ago where they went to a private home because Zak claimed he was contacted by the residents because there was a "demonic presence" in their home. The family consisted of a couple and their daughter, who was around 3-years-old. The house was filthy. Like, hoarder filthy. The mother claimed that she and her daughter were being scratched but it quickly became obvious the mother was inflicting the injuries on herself and her daughter. Zak, in his narration, says he believes this to be the case, while replaying video that pointed to this conclusion. Instead of immediately shutting down filming as soon as they realized what was happening, contacting authorities, and giving them the footage, they chose to continue with the "investigation" and the network chose to air it. They put the show over the safety of the child in that house. I never watched another episode after that.

The "bishop" that came in and called CPS. The father ended up leaving and she was arrested and is now in prison.

[@horror-core]

Oh Zak has showed many times throughout the entirety of the Ghost Adventures series what kind of arrogant, vain, egotistical "my way or the highway" type of guy he really is. That all started when the show started taking off, and just escalated. My respect level for him went from a good 9 straight down to a 0 fairly quickly.

[@southparkfirefly]

Yeah I stopped watching when he started to really bully Billy and Aaron when they were too scared to go in a room alone and yet he never had the balls to do it himself.

[@ericthiel4053]

Man, I used to really enjoy Ghost Adventures until everything became a "demon" and every single show was about an "evil" entity or had some bizzare cult/demonic/religious overtone. Plus all of a sudden they were expieriencing "bad energies" and "emotional responses" on every show it seemed like. Zack Baggans was the first to capatalize on the craze of the whole thing and unfortunately the various personalities on youtube have followed suit. Good for a halloween night and not much else.

[@twilightparanormalresearch186]

I stopped watching as it was an insult to real investigations of the paranormal

[@SlasherHorrorMovies1]

I know some places they did cisut were haunted by demons but some werent

[@Quandry1]

He didn't just capitalize on it. He helped create that whole thing. he was one of the first that everything was demons and everythign else. His money grab books are what created the 3am craze as well, trying to claim it was an old thing but it wasn't. the original "supernatural" time was between midnight and 1am. he's done a ton of damage.

Ooooo we are honoured to spend this time with you. Zak Bagans I think he has some serious issues, he is a year older than me. Looking at him you get the feeling something isn’t right and unfortunately he has got worse and worse.

[@cleg78]

Zak lost all self awareness and he sees himself as a higher power or at least put him over that way. My son watches his Ghost Adventures, since getting more and more in to paranormal I am gradually getting him to watch things that are real. I have even had my lad watch some of your videos…not to burst his bubble but to show him that some people can lie for bad reasons when it comes to this field. Seeing how you debunk things has opened my sons eyes and thankfully now he sees it for himself, so for that I can’t thank you enough and at least my son can now watch and learn from those we can trust.

[@cleg78]

I am going to get my lad to watch this video shortly. Thanks again, you’re a gem

[@SparkyTuttle]

Beardo, I am in tears that zac stooped so low as to bring up the murder/suicide, these were people we all knew, and used it to bolster his crap. I have never held back regarding zac, from the first time I saw him. At that time I was villified because people were mesmerized. To lie, fake, over dramatize, and finally to place his subscribers in a potentially horrible place...that's zac. To take what 2 humans went through, knowing the real hell she went through, and use that to bolster your lies, makes me , well , I won't say here, but I hope he discovers hell sooner than later.

[@SamsarasArt]

When I learned he did that, it convinced me Zak is a sociopath.

[@ickyetardo1555]

Early in the show, there was a certain camaraderie between the cast members, and they seemed more genuine. Over time, Zach turned nasty, using the excuse of being influenced by demons to attack the people who still work for him. The way he treats Billy is especially appalling. It's not fun to watch any more.

[@ashensage7968]

I think I stopped watching when I noticed he would put Aaron in situations he was scared off but snap at the others for teasing him for having a phobia of dolls or w/e. He forced Aaron to walk across this bridge thing even though he was scared of heights. Can't remember the episode but it really made me "wake up" to how much of a PoS Zak is.

[@angiemetzener]

I saw it when it aired, when I was 9. I think trauma/PTSD were kind of buzzwords at the time, and people didn't know the difference between trauma and just being shit-scared. It was bloody scary, although tbh it probably helped that it aired on Halloween so a lot of kids were staying up late to watch it. And yes, it's a much better horror film than Demon House.

I watched, or read an article debunking his museum (I forgot where I saw/read it - I'm old, lol!) and a person who worked there said Bagins will just go around to thrift stores or garage sales and purchase stuff, then write up a story about how it's haunted and put it in his museum. 😂😂

Zak came to my town to film our reportedly haunted abandoned hospital. Either he has a lousy researcher or he doesn't even bother to try, because most of his backstories never happened. Years later his scouts showed up at the museum I was the curator of and wanted to film there. They were giggling unprofessional goofballs. I sent them on their way with a hard no.

[@Quandry1]

he doesn't even bother to try. There has been proof that the stories he puts in his shows are stories that he has mostly or entirely made up. It's like the Demon House ws thuroughly debunked 2 years before Zak ever got near it. Literally every story was either proven to be something else or proven not to exist, and even some of the people that he used as witnesses in it didn't exist or weren't the actual people. Like a certain police officer....

Him purchasing the house to stop others putting out content is the exact kind of move he's been doing for a very long time to all the people they "investigate" the contracts and NDA reach far further than the episode of GA they may appear in. It stops them putting out their story to other channels and investigators. Some even say that this is why Destination Fear was stopped and other shows removed from discovery, because zak throws his toys out the pram and reminds discovery of the cash cow he has for them. The less reported about zak the better.

[@talita.1389]

I used to watch Ghost Hunters with my mom back in 2010 when I heard about Ghost Adventures and I genuinely liked them and loved the premise of the show, being locked in a haunted location overnight without a crew following you around. Unfortunately, nowadays I can't even watch as a guilty pleasure anymore, Zak went from being my paranormal crush to an attention seeker that I dislike, he treats everyone around him poorly and the show focus more on drama than on the investigation itself, which is a shame because with their reputation they can get access to any location. When the subject is why I don't watch GA anymore I could go for hours 😅

[@KCBoomer01]

I remember I watched that so called documentary, and being a lot more naive back then, I believed the disclaimer at the start, but as I watched it, it just seemed a bit off, was too dramatized, in fact, the scene in the hotel with the guy being "possessed" made me outright go "uh okay, way to ramp up the tension for no reason there" and when it ended and he said he tore the house down, I immediately thought "why? well unless he doesn't want anyone else to investigate in there and call him out"

I used to watch Ghost Adventures knowing that it was probably fake, but some of it still managed to spook me, and I had a good time with it. Now, I won't go anywhere near that show, almost exclusively because of Zak, and to a lesser degree, Billy. Aaron and Jay are pretty much the only reasons you would ever want to watch it now.

[@AndreasScout]

From what i hear, this is way back in the beginning of ghost adventures, when they went to Italy, povelia, they were extremely disrespectful and the typical " american tourist" according to a lot of people, including some "experts" and historians on Povelia. I thought "well its americans doing american bs" but then i heard it again when they were in Romania "in search of dracula/vlad the impaler and the people they interviewed there. In that time period suddenly Nik vanished nearly overnight. I then found out this was Ghost adventures MO: be obnoxious on locations, disrespect the location and then when they get too rambunctious they get banned from places. You know i sort of have my fill of most ghost shows because they either over dramatize ( like claiming everything is a demon .. hyping it up while suddenly its just some supposed disembodied voice.. add some AI and other masking software and it lands into the "when in doubt throw it out" mode which one has to do nearly with everything ) Do i think ghosts are real or not? lets say i am an open minded. People see things, no matter if its a cryptid, "ghost" or UFO ( which stand for United Fella Organization... ok ok that last one was a joke) now the how, what, where and so on needs to be investigated. Do i watch ghost shows? not that much, ditto with cryptid shows ( though i do listen to coast to coast) and i do have a soft spot for anything Josh Gates makes because Josh does things that put himself in some hilarious situations and he is not afraid to debunk things though he is respectful about it. During one of his expeditions in search for " flying prehistoric creature in the woods of borneo" he parked his car under a tree. the townspeople didn't say anything and he did say " why doesn't anyone park their car here, its much easier to walk to the river". When he came back his entire rental car was full of mongkhey droppings. Another time he was "looking for the strigoi" and some locals pointed him to a ransacked creepy cemetery. he found a big sarcophagus open and shone a light in, two cats jumped out and make josh scream like a... startled fella. hahaha Another excellent video to both you, beardo, and Kenny Biddle

One of the major issues for it was that it was never setup correctly, and after it was setup it's environment that it was setup for would get changed in small but significant ways for what it's setup for. We also know what caused Zak's eye problems. he actually had an accident and hit his head, He actually did it on one of the live shows from what I remember.

[@JamieJai]

Before I even watch - what did it for me was 1- the "possessed" guy Adam(?) was an actor with an IMdb. And the BIG #2 - WHY TF TEAR IT DOWN!?! Hmmm.... Maybe so no other teams can go in and prove it was all bullshit!!! And #3 - it's not like big name rich AF celebs haven't had actual real cops make up reports before... Not even saying he went that far for this one!!! Just more actors. And now big Mama conveniently got a movie or Netflix doc coming out soon too .... (Cough .... Warren's ahem cough cough...Andrea Perron).... Excuse eh moi'!! I must be coming down with a spring time cold!!! 🤧 Edit - Zack just wanted an excuse to forever wear those edgy AF 🤓's!!! 🤭😝😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹

[@EntitySevenParanormal]

There is something you got wrong. Just because he bought the house does not give him any kind of movie rights whatsoever. If Hollywood wants the rights to someone’s story to be used on a TV show or a movie, the property isn’t part of the deal. They only care about the story. That’s what Hollywood wanted to buy. The story. Even though Zach bought the house, movie Studios if they picked up and bought the rights to that family story only on the story and make a movie about it if they want. It’s like the conjuring house. The studio who bought the rights from Carolyn story and have nothing to do with the house. If whoever bought the rights for that families story bought the house then that’s a different story. There was a phone call Zach had I believe with a producers lawyer thought Baggins was making a movie based on the families story. They probably didn’t realize at the time that it was just a documentary. The Harrisville haunting, no one gave us shit for going there and filming a documentary. If we went there to film a movie based on the people events who live in the house, we would be sued into oblivion. There is a misconception with demonic hunting. It’s something that I definitely want to talk about. But I would much rather talk about it in a live stream and having you live with me.

[@Trailpainter]

Every time I try to watch him on my phone I can't I get a message that says scam likely

[@JamieJai]

Also - funny, I'm only just realizing the only original crew member still with him is his CO-PRODUCER - Aaron..... Everyone else was fired or just headed for the hills on they're own(?) and/or possibly threatened..... "ALLEGEDLY"

[@joe.mcdonough]

Great video! Definitely do a museum one. I loved the Biddle cameo. Great upload as always! Can't wait for the next!

[@redacted6653]

I’ve been a Zak Bagins hater for years and years now. his not-quite-a human-behavior of having almost no regard or empathy for anyone or anything was so off putting and I hated how he always treated Aaron, making him go into places alone. One episode that really stood out was an episode where he made Aaron wander into a ‘skinwalker cave’ by himself that was absolutely inhabited by coyotes and at one point his walkie cut out and instead of going to check on him Zak just left him in there for like half an hour

[@sahltyy]

I also learned from having black mold from a water leak in my kitchen that most people dont even know they have black mold in there house for mines it was a small area in my kitchen it was about 30k in repairs and they said it was a small job versus what they normally do people normally have like 100k in repair for their black mold and it also makes me question how people can get away selling a house with mold I live in California

[@andrewthornhill8334]

Zak is a DRAMA queen. In all his shows, he must have all the attention. I remember when he first came out, he talked about coming face to face with a ghost/whatever and wants to experience that again. After 20+yrs, that dope still hasn't accomplished that. Just numerous bangs, squeaks, scratchy white noise static, meters being manipulated, and them freaking out every time they hear a bang (as if its their first time).

[@jtarwa4088]

Great video! Watching this before the movie about the family comes out on Netflix tomorrow.

No evidence why Zak is de ieving...Zero!

[@Ailobyte]

Geez, people get really greedy over their ghost stories once they realize they can make a shit-ton of money from it. On the one hand, I get it and I shouldn't judge. On the other, I wish it wasn't like this

[@Its-Jolene]

He is so disrespectful!

[@TheIndependentLens]

The kids he interviews in this are smirking the entire time.

[@PepperStep_]

Sam and Colby video taped in the museum. But knowing them they would strike your video. They went to every room and video taped everything

[@ElphabaWasFramed]

I bought cat balls for my cat and they're actually tagged for "ghost hunting" on Amazon. I just had to laugh when I saw that.

[@kimmusumeci8386]

Zak deserves the exposure. Yes he needs to be shown for the fraud he is. That anyone would believe this guy is the truly incredible part.

[@karenp5959]

Yes please. More on Zak Bagins. Thank you so much or your time and effort into this. Greatfully appreciated. x

[@Patti-Labellarte]

I was a huge Ghost Adventures fan from day one. Once Nick was dissed and left I slowly stopped watching. With that said, also from day one I couldn't stand Zak. I thought he was a bully, sissy and self absorbed type of guy from probably the third episode. He has made his millions over the years and he's laughing all the way to the bank. I feel badly for Aaron and Nick. They had no idea what they were getting themselves into. I'm still confused as to why Aaron is still hanging on.

[@macgyversmacbook1861]

As a Catholic I’ve done research on Stigmata, Saints like Padre Pio had it, it’s not demonic in any way and is DEFINITELY not brought on from a suicide attempt. I used to actually enjoy Zak because he was a funny, cringey geek and eventually lost his mind. I stopped watching around the Goat Man episode when Billy said he felt something and not even two minutes later ZAK said he was possessed and “crossed himself” it’s not a spell or some bull like that, it’s a physical sign of your faith

[@ruthb7605]

Great video on an horrific documentary. Part of me wants you to do more on Zag Baggins, part of me feels he isn’t worth the screen time.

[@constipatedinsincity4424]

The little boy was in the hospital when walking up the wall. That's why nurses and police and case worker saw the wall walking. 😮

[@annerbananner86]

Watching now! Excited about this one because I watched this documentary a few times years ago (when I used to watch Ghost Adventures).. and I'm excited your video is a longer one today! 👍🏼 More Beardo insight😄

[@VioletWolfQueen]

This is largely directed at Kenny Biddle for his debunking portion of the video. I just wanted to say this: I love ghost stories and paranormal investigations but also want to know the TRUTH. So thank you for explaining how many of these devices actually work and how easy it is to fake occurrences with them. I had seen the Kinect used a lot more recently and didn't understand how incredibly unreliable it is. I feel that there are many things in this world that science has yet to find explanations for, but there are also so so many frauds and misunderstandings out there that it is infuriating. Again, thank you so much for helping to educate us on the truth of these videos!

[@horror-core]

Id really like to know if the police officers, nurses and child services worker were actors, and along with whatever sum of money Zak paid the family, if he paid a little more just to get the mother and the teenage girl to say she tried to unalive herself and felt posessed while doing it? Like you said, very very poor area, a lot of hardship and struggle. I wouldn't put anything past Zak to do something so grimey.

[@eddietorres1059]

I dont know if you will see this but working as a Nursing assistant for the last 9 years. My facility has some strange things that me nor my co-workers can explain. Ill give one example. we can see shadows in hallways that has light. Now ever ghost show love to kill the light saving we don't want any light source contamination. Boy I tell you can see strange shadow with light off. Shadows that are in the middle of the hallway and in front of us a bout 5 to 9 ft. Without any doors around or people. I seen a closet open by itself and believe me I tried my best to debunk it. Then as I leave the door will close on its own while I am still in the room. Another thing is that when someone is about to die they say the something no matter what room or station. Remember that person has died and another person can be dying in a whole side of the build. The person also tells me who is that tall blond handed man with the the child who just left my room, but the problem is no one was in the room. The child is either girl or boy. It does not matter who the sex person dying. My facility is over 20K feet in size and 136 beds and when I float to another station. They also make this same statement above. Once I heard this the person usually passes within 1 week. Ask any CNA worth their weight in gold. If you work a place where a lot death happens things get weird. One thing that I have noticed that things dont happened all the time, but sometime it can take up to days to months.

[@dash-x]

I was just out of HS and would binge all these shows. I recall this special and enjoyed the entertainment but knew it was goofy, however as an adult I agree with the rage. I also recall in my early 20s (early aughts) wanting to do ghost tours and stuff with those meters and I was dating an engineer at the time and he told me how even a light switch could make it go off so I tossed all that😹 There was an ama recently by someone who worked at Bagans museum…hoo boy. It’s everything I thought he was.

[@fredlyndalu]

Still catching up on videos. Just wanted to thank you for the time you spend with us all.

[@SpiritSeekersIL]

If covering the museum won't get you a ban, then for sure.

[@BonniA58]

Could that happen? Is there anything we can do?

[@ashyhusky4130]

ZAk should know about Black mold and CO poisoning but doesn't care its all about the money and fame

[@ivaneames4354]

I knew he was fake as soon as he claimed supernatural activity aroind the "Dybbuk Box" in his museum, the one thst came from Ebay. Firstly, there is no such thing as a Dybbuk Box. Dybbuks possess people not objects. Secondly, the person who sold the box on Ebay has since admitted thst its fake. He built it for entertainment purposes. It's not as old as was claimed and it isn't made of what was claimed. Since it's creator has admitted it's not real, the stories of supernatural activity around it can't be real either. Which makes Zak a big l!ar. (I've spelled l!ar thst way because recently KZbin in its questionable wisdom has been hiding even the most innocuous of my comments so I'm being careful not to give them anything they might consider to be bad.)

[@kitsummers4945]

I used to absolutely adore Ghost Adventures when I was younger. There were moments that were so obviously fake it was embarrassing (i.e. any "possession" scene), but I had more respect for it when Aaron straight up said "yeah of course we fake some of it, it's for a TV show". I kept watching because I loved the dynamic and interactions between the trio, and then that deteriorated. I don't know if I'm misremembering it, but when Nick left it was around the time they went to The Island of the Dolls. And I SWEAR the explanation for Nick not joining them was because he had just had his daughter and he was scared of bringing something home with him that could've harmed her. That always left a bad taste in my mouth. I only watched from then on for Aaron Goodwin. I didn't really care about the new three, and then suddenly it wasn't JUST them? You'd see other crew members that weren't named but were just hanging out with them to film. Whilst the show was still being peddled as "just the four of us get locked in a haunted building and we try to survive until dawn" but you can clearly see others that weren't a part of the main crew. I tried to watch Nick's spin off stuff when he continued ghost hunting but it just wasn't the same any more. He didn't seem happy like he had at the start of GA. I felt his passion for the supernatural was still in him, but he just looked so beat down it was hard to watch.

[@pelssy]

i’d love to see one on the museum and the nick situation/why nick left. i definitely think he was praying on the situation/people. it was a weird documentary. he’s the biggest player in the paranormal since the warrens have passed away! and that’s like who’s foot steps he is following in, in the fraud department.

[@JaxXxonSly]

The Kinect always angered me. My kid and I used to play Kinect games and we would always joke "oh, so you probably have one leg over your head and flailing about? OK, I'll show that!" Like they obviously never played with one

Hubby just came and said "Why are you crying? Did Beardo make you cry?" ... well, yeah, kinda. I can't help it. Those children, those people, being taken advantage of. They deserve better than being manipulated and used because of desperation. Your decency in exposing this (even though Zac's ego is so big it jumps in 3D off my screen without any word from you) hits my heart. Your compassion and care for those people and their situation - yeah. You made me cry. Mrs G must be busting with pride. And, the answer is yes - expose it all, as long as you make sure you're safe. People need to know, and you're the right man for the job. Love Kenny too. Great stuff. Love to you, Mrs G and fam. xxxx 💜🖤🩵

I used to love ghost adventures but then it became centre stage for an egotistical, greed for power and money individual. Everywhere they went there was a demon - Now I'm not saying either way if demons exist or not, but even the nicest places with only friendly spirits are supposed to reside, had a demon in the shadows according to them
