Ghost Adventures: Screaming Room - First Season

Humpty Dumpty.

Were you calling out Humpty Dumpty?

My style of ghost hunting

is completely different than others.

When I was a kid, I used to be so afraid of you.

This it a dynamic that I really like.

You're connecting with these spirits

as a child in the spiritual world.

They say there is no time, you know.

So like the young Aaron and Aaron now,

it's almost the same moment.

We have seen things that defy explanation.

Experiencing the best.

That was awesome, man.

And worst...

These dolls **** are to 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: Screening Room."

Hi, guys. Sorry to keep you waiting.

I had to go get my popsicles.

I love these things. They're organic.

There is no sugar added in these.

There's four of us, and you only brought one?

- I actually don't share these. - Wow. How much?

How much are they, like 40 bucks a pop?

They're like, these are sacred.

No, Jay, Would you like some of my triscuits?

- At least you brought something. - Here, Jay,

I'll share some of my -- Okay, it's getting ready to start!

- Remember this, Aaron? - Oh, the Enchanted Forest! Yeah.

We've done a lot of ghost adventures.

We've done pretty much every location you can think of,

except for one.

We've never truly investigated a haunted old amusement park.

God. I grew up here. All my life going there.

And, Aaron, we're here.

We're here at the Enchanted Forest amusement park

near Salem, Oregon.

There's one thing I think is gonna make you really excited.

What's that?

We've got the entire 20-acre amusement park to ourselves.

Yeah!

- Wow! - Wow, there it is.

That's the biggest I've ever seen your mouth open.

- I was so happy. - I did this in honor of

one of my most favorite movies.

"National Lampoon's Vacation," Me and Aaron.

This is Chevy Chase and his son. - "Chariots of Fire."

Yeah, you really did miss that high five.

and I didn't like the hug.

Don't hug me when I'm trying to run.

It's already hard enough for me to run sometimes

with my asthma kicking off. - Sorry.

You came here as a little child. Yeah.

And you have memories of that. Yeah.

The reason why we're here

isn't just for Aaron to revisit his childhood,

the real reason that we're here is

this place really is enchanted. Yeah.

The imagination that this guy has is incredible.

It's great, but it's nightmarish.

- Yeah. - Yeah.

The owner has invited us to his park,

which is now closed for the season

because unexplainable events have been reported here.

Could this establishment be cursed?

Or might it sit on a portal to another dimension?

Roger Tofte conceived of this theme park

while on a family vacation in 1964.

He quickly returned home, purchased this 20-acre hillside,

and set out on the extraordinary task

of building this park by hand,

one bag of cement at a time.

This isn't just like a theme park.

It's in a real forest.

Some people have described

Roger's obsessive desire to build

as bordering on madness.

After seven long years,

the park would finally open to the public.

Look at this place.

This is like when you were little

And there was always something about those nursery rhymes

that scared you

and they still scare you to this day.

It is a whole other world when you enter in here.

And it's not just the things that he created.

There is something there that has been conjured

by all the children's imaginations over the years.

Just walking in here, it truly is in the forest.

There's huge trees, there's lots of cool little hills

and everything you walk up.

Who is this? Come on up. Is this the owner?

- And look at his entrance. - There he is.

Guy just cruises around there all the time.

Look at this. Yeah.

Are you the -- Are you the owner of this place?

Yeah. What is your name?

Roger. Roger?

Tofte. It's an honor to meet you.

You just pulled up in style, sir. That is so cool.

You made my childhood something.

Aaron, you knew this guy when you were a little kid.

Well, I see him walking around. Don't talk with your mouth full.

Chew it. You know, you asked me a question.

Do this, Aaron. Cover your mouth.

But talk. Like, if you have food.

Have you ever heard of anybody

having spiritual experiences here or seeing things?

That's my favorite part of the whole park is the haunted house.

They have? Yeah.

They've run out?

Yeah, thinking, you know, they've heard things in here.

- The haunted house was. - That was my kid nightmare.

You built a haunted house that is actually haunted

inside the Enchanted Forest.

We are going to investigate your Enchanted Forest.

Sounds good.

Look at this.

Wow, Zak, break the scooter.

Hush. Hear it?

That's the haunted house. What?

This place is every child's nightmare.

What?!

God is a kid that was so scary.

- Are you kidding me? - How did it compare from

when you're a kid to being an adult there?

Being there when no one was there

was a whole different experience.

Do you feel the energy in here is threatening?

It definitely is anxiety-inducing.

Ashley is the granddaughter of Roger Tofte.

Inside here, it's just terrifying.

Like, you panic? Yeah.

Definitely, there's immediate anxiety,

like, walking in there or even thinking about it.

I think what got me was the genuine fear

that the employees had when we were interviewing them.

Remember, this isn't just a haunted house.

This isn't just a haunted attraction.

The workers had some very profound experiences there

before we showed up.

Hello, there. I'm around you.

I feel that panic already.

Do you? Yeah, I do.

Every hallway's dark you can't even see things.

Wow, look at this stuff.

This is when the fun part of it started wearing off

and we started getting into serious business

that this place is really haunted.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

Dude, something just grabbed my elbow underneath here.

I swear to God.

But it wasn't over here. It was, like, under here.

That was cool, dude.

That was an incredible moment.

It was a firm grip on my elbow.

Someone or something has clearly attempted to stop me

from continuing through this vintage haunted attraction.

That thing's like a time capsule, though.

So it was that's exactly how it was when you were a kid.

Yes. Nothing much ever changed. Always the same.

As we begin walking down this staircase,

it seems as though whatever grabbed my elbow

is still following us.

Whoa. Come here, come here, come here!

Ashley, come here.

Do you feel this right here? Just came up on me.

Yeah. Yeah, it got really cold all of a sudden.

Something very short in energy mass started following us.

And this is after I felt that grab on my elbow.

and we just start feeling it following us all around.

But it's moving.

It's moving. It's moving.

It's right here now.

Yeah, I felt it, I felt it.

Yeah, I just wanted somebody else to know that --

It's not there now?

It's about this high.

A little kid maybe.

We got to think we're the only people hanging out there,

because it's closed at the time.

So like this energy was probably like, "Ooh a person!"

- Like "Oh, who are you guys?" - You know what I mean?

Like immediately.

Who or what is reaching out to us?

Where did they come from, and why are they manifesting

in a haunted house in this theme park?

Our next stop is the Challenge of Mondor,

where another park employee has become extremely affected.

It felt dark in there, really dark.
