Ghost Adventures: Screaming Room - First Season

The spanish flu epidemic came through,

and there was probably around 500 deaths. Ho.

Any time that you see these epidemics,

that is a hatching ground for spirits at unrest.

Zak: It is now time to head up the mountain

to begin the second part

of our investigation at this old mansion.

Oh, gosh, this is like

switching to a different episode right now.

Right, it's like it goes to a horror movie.

zak: We have seen things that defy explanation,

experiencing the best...

God, that was awesome, dude. That was so awesome. Absolutely, man.

...And worst...

These dolls are gonna **** take our souls.

...Of the places between worlds.

I want the portals of this forest wide open.

Now it's time to look back.

One of my scariest nightmares that we are about to relive.

For the first time ever,

I'm inviting you, the audience,

into my inner sanctum.

Together, we will pull back the curtain on the biggest,

scariest, and funniest moments from our investigations.

I'm zak bagans,

and this is "ghost adventures: Screaming room."

hey, I hope you don't mind, we called corporate

and kind of upgraded the snacks.

Holy cow. Look at that.

Charcuterie plates.

That don't look organic, man.

That looks like one of them albertsons specials.

thanks, corporate.

Let's see what episode we're watching today.

Oh, eureka!

Tintic mining district.

We are in eureka, utah,

investigating another ghost town.

There are so many multiple abandoned buildings

where people are being attacked,

and there's also some residents doing rituals to summon

those very spirits

in the very buildings they own.

Something about mining towns,

the activity is just completely different

from other locations that we go to.

It's a whole other different level.

Yeah.

And I think it's all those mines underground

are truly just magnifying the energy in these towns,

without a doubt.

For this lockdown, we've invited julie jordan,

senior writer for people magazine,

to experience what it's like to investigate

with the "ghost adventures" crew.

julie jordan! She was so awesome.

Julie, if you're watching this, you are the best.

Julie jordan.

She was so cool. We need her back.

She went right in the trenches with us.

Incorporated in 1892,

eureka became the financial center of utah's

tintic mining district, where, for several decades,

record-setting amounts of silver and gold

were gutted from the earth's belly.

But even the spirits of the miners,

they're probably still there

because they don't know any better but,

"that's my gold. I'm not leaving."

but these towns are sitting on a battery bed.

Yeah. Think of the minerals that are in the ground.

Many of eureka's original buildings remain.

That and its proximity to these now-dormant mines

make it a beacon for spiritual energy.

These are my favorite locations to investigate,

are mining towns.

They're a part of us. This is how we got our start.

There was so much in this one. There was a lot.

Mayor castleton.

How are you doing, zak? Welcome to eureka.

The mayor.

Well, he's the guy that called us, right?

He was the one saying... Oh, yeah.

...That we needed to come here.

In 1915, marshal alex robertson was murdered in cold blood

by the very man he apprehended.

And these little towns are just a whole other world.

I love them.

You think just the way that people lived back then, too?

It was lawless.

Like, there's so much death and crime.

Yet no murder in eureka's tempestuous history

can compare to the amount of death

once besieged on this town.

The spanish flu epidemic came through in 1917, 1918.

There was probably around 500 deaths.

Ho. 500?

And people were buried in a mass grave

down in the cemetery here.

A disease is -- you're being murdered by a virus.

You're being murdered by a dangerous bacteria.

Scary.

And the whole town just picking up dead people.

You're the only survivor.

During this epidemic, there were so many deaths,

the undertaker had a horse-drawn wagon...

[ wind whooshes, hooves clopping ]

...And he'd ride up and down the streets

three or four times a day calling out...

bring me your dead.

I mean, just imagine that this virus comes in

and you're just scared to leave your house

because just a simple touch or breath...

Could infect you with this

and you die because there's no treatment.

Wipe out entire towns. And you don't die peacefully.

No. So anytime that you see these epidemics,

that is a hatching ground for spirits at unrest.

Zak: As we're ready to descend upon the gatley,

said to be one of eureka's most haunted buildings,

someone suddenly appears to warn us

about another far more dangerous building...

That lies up in the mountains,

which forces our investigation to take an unexpected turn.

This house -- we did not know about

an hour before we were driving up this hill.

We were not adding this to the investigation.

We didn't even know about it.

Built over a century ago,

this was once home to members of the fitch family.

As owners of the chief consolidated mining company,

they were one of the preeminent mining families in eureka.

I'll never forget that.

That was, like, surreal.

Aaron: At first I was like, "oh, this is gonna be cool."

and then the night of... It turned.

This is what I love about our investigations, though,

just not knowing what we're gonna run into.

- Zackary stone. - Yes, yep.

When you investigated this house,

is it true that you stumbled upon something in here

that was a little disturbing?

I did.

I actually found what looks like some occult objects.

There was some human hair.

There was animal bones,

and there was, like, a pouch full of something.

I did find some interesting books for witchcraft

and some tarot cards.

This is when everything changes,

when someone is telling you they start finding bones

and pouches and ritualistic items.

Yeah.

Because now you don't know what this person is doing there,

how powerful that person is,

and what they're conjuring

and what their intent is.

It could be dangerous. And this was dangerous.

She's here, the owner, right?

Stone: Yeah. Billie is here.

Let's go see what's going on.

I'm zak. - Hi, zak.

- Nice to meet you. - Nice to meet you.

I'm billie. - Can I talk to you?

- You bet. - Okay.

- Absolutely. - Cool, cool, cool.

Yeah. Come on in.

So we came to eureka ghost town,

and we didn't have this house

scheduled to investigate. Mm-hmm.

She thought I was just gonna ask about the history of the house,

but she doesn't know what zackary just told us.

She's letting us into her home, and we need to be cautioned

about what may be her energy is onto us.

From the beginning, when I came into this house,

I felt the energy.

Some things happen here that I can't always explain.

The mine is right there,

and there's a vortex of energy.

Do you sense spirits here in this house?

All the time.

This is a 110-year-old home.

There's a residual energy,

so they make themselves known

when they need to.

It's a living thing.

This is a very uncomfortable moment

when you were interviewing.

Yeah, but we didn't know... We didn't know why.

We didn't know now how severe it was

because she wasn't telling us. But we felt it.

do you ever participate

in any, like, seances or rituals

or anything like that?

Um... The...

I guess the people I run with in life

are in tune with alternative ways

of accessing spirituality.

During this interview,

she was not telling me everything. No.
