Ghost Adventures: Screaming Room - First Season

What was it like to be in front of that sign

and touching that sign?

It was probably the most amazing experience for me right there.

Right there. ****! Aah!

It's scary. That look is a look of pure terror.

And if you want more information,

just check out "idiot's guide to ghost hunting" by zak bagans.

Dummies -- "ghost-hunting for dummies," make sure --

did you really just say "idiots"?

- I don't know. - What?!

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."

this is the weirdest thing ever.

Usually I'm in here by myself or with my date,

and I'm watching a movie, but now I'm being watched.

We've actually been here for days.

- Hi, bill. - Hi, buddy.

- Hi, jay! - Hey, zak.

Always good to see you guys.

You guys don't ever call me to hang out, only for this.

I do to.

This is the only time I see you guys.

Nobody comes over here and delivers me deviled eggs.

- Nothing. Serious. - Eww.

I don't know how to make deviled eggs, do you?

All right, guys. We're in a movie theater,

and I just felt like it's time to go to hollywood.

Oh! Oh, haunted hollywood.

Oh, look, aaron, there's darth vader.

Do you ever think about dressing up like the star wars people

and hanging out? I could see you doing that.

Maybe not in hollywood, but just walking around town.

Do you secretly do that? Is that where you're at all the time when we're not filming?

- I bet. - Are you darth vader?

Was that you on the sidewalk? - Maybe. Maybe.

The odds are... Maybe.

do you guys know what the most haunted spot is in hollywood?

- I have no idea. - No.

- Guess. - The hollywood sign.

So, billy, why do you always drive?

Why are you always the driver?

'cause no one else wants to -- that's the truth.

That is the truth.

You're probably the most responsible driver.

This is the first location that we are going

to be investigating.

The sign is right below my feet here.

I didn't realize how out of shape I was.

until we decided to film at this sign.

That's my horrible memory of this location.

'cause the trail goes all the way.

- Yeah. - It's not easy getting up there.

If you ever are thinking about trying

to investigate this sign,

don't think about it because you are being watched.

Oh, ****.

Hurry, hurry, hurry. Just roll. Aaron.

This was like border patrol.

Imagine how many people try to sneak up there.

I just couldn't believe how many cameras there were.

And it's intimidating.

I approached the officer who, after learning

we've been granted permission to be here,

agrees to speak with us on conditions of anonymity.

What's -- what's that notice?

If you go beyond there, I think you get shot or something.

But I thought this was really cool

because we're investigating this area that's under probably

the most highest surveillance of a location we've ever done.

Yeah. They say if someone goes up there,

a helicopter gets launched. If you cross a certain area,

and it comes and gets you immediately.

Have you ever seen the spirit of peg entwistle?

The rangers will tell you this that have been here

for like 20-plus years. - Yeah.

They say that if you go that trail at night,

you will see her between,

I don't know, midnight, I don't know what it is.

- Really? - They see it all the time.

God, what a view.

Can you tell me a little bit about why people are saying

the sign is haunted?

Is it true that this peg committed suicide here?

She did.

There was a woman, an actress.

Her name was lilian millicent entwistle.

She went by the nickname of peg.

- Do you remember her name? - Peg entwistle.

Peg entwistle, 'cause we just heard it.

she was in about a half a dozen different films

but ended up on the cutting room floor

of all those films except for one,

so rko dropped her contract.

And it was the night of September 16, 1932,

that she sat at a table and wrote a note out that said...

I am sorry.

I should've done this a long time ago.

It would've saved everyone a lot of pain.

And she signed it only with her initials, pe.

Crushed by her failure in the movie business,

what peg did next some would say

was straight out of a hollywood movie.

Just so everybody knows, while we're doing our thing,

we have a separate crew that comes out for a couple days

and they do a great job. And this is one such example.

And it really gives you a visual reference.

I want you to feel the emotions

of these people that we're being told about.

She scaled the 50-foot letter h

to the top of the hollywood sign.

And sometimes our reenactments

are so great and scary that you have to have a disclaimer

that this might be a little too much.

Disclaimer, yeah. Very intense.

And with one final gaze at

the city she felt betrayed her...

...She wrote the ending to her own story.

Is it true that, the next day, she got a letter stating

that she had a lead role for the beverly hills playhouse

in a play? - Apparently so.

That's the hollywood ending.

That's horrible.

It's terrible.

If that's not the most ironic twist,

I don't know what is.

It's been 70-plus years since she died,

but people still see a woman in period clothing appropriate

for the time that she died walking up this --

that lonely road up to the sign.

There have been two reports, actually, of people seeing

somebody climbing up to the top of the letter h and jumping.

- Really? - They think it's peg's spirit.

With night casting its shadow over us,

we head to a famed attraction within griffith park

which may prove that innocent energies can still be anchored

to locations which are familiar to them.

there's something about this merry-go-round

that stuck with me after I left,

and it literally imprinted a vision in my mind.

And it's something so simple.

- How are you doing? - Doing well.

Can you tell me exactly what you saw?

Yeah, so we were walking back

from a family function here at the park.

The park's getting ready to close,

and we all see what appears to be a boy

dressed in period clothing wearing,

like, a newspaper boy hat and short pants,

and we thought that it was odd that a child

would be unchaperoned at that late of hour.

We actually called out to the child.

Didn't respond, didn't acknowledge the fact

that we were there.

Whoever says this first,

I'll give you a gift certificate.

So watch.

What item in this merry-go-round --

- and you viewers, too. - That?

Yes, it's that. It was that satyr face,

that devil face right there.

- Uh-huh. - That thing's creepy.

And then just recently there was an auction in England.

Oh, yeah, it looks exactly like that --

- that vase. - The vase thing. Same face.

I was able to find that face. I wanted to chip off that face,

but I can't do that, 'cause that's against the law.

But I found a vase with that exact face.

And then he started to move really quickly

in-between the horses.

He was moving through objects.

And then, as we approached, kid just disappeared.

He just dematerialized.

Seemed to have.

you owe him a gift card.

Oh, yeah. I'll give you a gift card.

Do you think that this encounter was residual,

or do you feel that this little boy knew

that you were watching him?

Oh, that's a great question.

That little boy knew that we were watching.

I truly, truly love interviewing people.

I just love that connection.

- You're good at it. - Well, thank you.

But I like to connect with them

on an emotional level, on a deeper level.

And then I use that in the investigation.
