lol this the drawtectives anon I know I said you don't have to watch the first season but I also completely agree that the first episode would make absolutely no sense otherwise (tbh the only reason I mentioned that is because Julia said she wanted them to be relatively separate)
BUT IM SO GLAD YOU LIKED IT!!!! season 2 is so good I just love everyone there
I AM LOVING IT SO FAR!!!
I’m sure the first episode of season 2 would’ve been fine (if a little confusing) to watch without the context of season 1 but it definitely added to my enjoyment. When the mansion background was revealed I gasped, it was so fun. I’m about to start episode 3 but anon please feel free to DM me abt this show it’s so funny and good!!!
#I love that season 2 has infinity train vibes?#like it makes perfect sense. train mysteries are a staple of the genre#and wild trains are a pretty fun piece of world building in the first season#so it only makes sense that the train theme would continue to this season#cienna talks#drawfee

10 Best Episodes of Ghost Adventures, According To IMDB
BY ANTHONY FERTINO – ON SEP 02, 2019 IN LISTS
The Travel Channel has strongly expanded its programming regarding the paranormal. It’s a controversial subject, which is curious, given how commonplace religion is. However, the validity of the phenomena is often hindered by reality shows like this. The reenactments are silly, and Zak Bagans is a hopelessly theatrical character.
Still, Ghost Adventures gradually shed its more embarrassing habits and focused primarily on collecting evidence. It’s left to viewers to decide upon the legitimacy of said evidence. This is a niche genre, with company like Sightings and Paranormal Witness. But for believers and casual viewers alike, Ghost Adventures is usually a fun and breezy hour. For the former, the encounters can sometimes be genuinely creepy. Here’s how fans rated this long-running staple of ghost hunting.
10 CRESCENT HOTEL - 8.8 (S18, E7)
All of the more interesting episodes on this show have a compelling setting. Learning the dark, true history of various establishments is pretty entertaining. In this episode, the Crescent Hotel is revealed to be the home of a real-life villain. A man named Norman Baker used the location as a hospital to prey on cancer victims.
He delivered a false cure, made of lethal nonsense, and made millions. Zak opens up about losing his father to cancer a month prior, which is surprisingly frank and stirring. Also, the majority of the episode is comprised of investigating rather than interviews. The GAC uses a good variety of technology, more than usual. The EVPs and SLS oddities are definitely unsettling.
9 IDAHO STATE TUBERCULOSIS HOSPITAL - 8.8Â (S18, E12)
Surely, it makes perfect sense to take a location as creepy as a tuberculosis hospital and make it an Inn. Although, The Shining’s Overlook Hotel did cast an eerie shadow over that, too. The owners of this episode’s Inn, tragically, are revealed to have lost two children.
No matter your position on the supernatural, this show consistently deals with genuine grief and loss. It’s later suggested that one of the kids is reaching out, seemingly providing intelligent responses. But this would be benevolent contact. The most unnerving evidence is an EVP recording of outright, frustrated screaming. It’s a disturbing sound, even for non-believers.
8 OLD LINCOLN COUNTY HOSPITAL - 8.8Â (S11, E4)
In this episode, the crew travels to Tennessee to investigate an abandoned hospital. That’s simply an innately creepy setting, anywhere. There’s a reason it’s used in so many horror movies. But this episode has a really interesting turn of events—the police get involved. Briefly, while attempting an interview, the police arrive at the scene of filming.
A local commander in the police department describes potential paranormal activity, which can’t be a more welcome testimony. Still, a single piece of evidence can make all the difference in fan appreciation. The presence of a potential shadow figure is a compelling piece of footage. The episode is paced well, and the crew also uses some interesting new gear.
7 HAUNTED HARVEY HOUSE - 8.9Â (S11, E5)
It’s always interesting when this crew is the first team allowed to officially investigate an establishment. At the very least, it adds some credibility to them, given that certain locations have particular reputations at stake. This episode features two very old buildings in Las Vegas—New Mexico.
And once again, apparent shadow figures are the most alarming and memorable encounters in the episode. Two dark, fleeting shadows whoosh past a doorway. It’s some pretty startling footage, akin to anything in a Paranormal Activity movie. But the GAC also collects a wide range of numerous voices, and they utilize a good range of tech.
6 STONE LION INN - 8.9Â (S14, E1)
The adventurers travel to Oklahoma to investigate a small bed and breakfast, that was once used as a mortuary. Now, the owner runs a murder mystery show there, and is purportedly enacting genuine satanic rituals. Besides this silliness, there’s some really interesting history. The episode recounts the true story of a train robber’s corpse ending up as a mummified tourist attraction for decades.
It’s fairly disturbing, with real photos of the remains on display. However, this episode also compiles some pretty incredible evidence. This time, it includes alleged poltergeist activity. Doors apparently move on their own, and a camera’s tripod is completely knocked over. Poltergeist footage is the crown jewel of such investigations, and fun to dispute.
5 THE WASHOE CLUB: FINAL CHAPTER - 8.9Â (S16, E7)
This location was featured in the original Ghost Adventures documentary from 2004. That history is inherently appealing for longtime fans. It’s especially moving that two people who helped with the previous Washoe investigation have since passed on. And according to some strangely coincidental and intelligent communication, the team believes those friends are reaching out.
It’s one of the more personal investigations, with intriguing visual and audio evidence. We see a strange SLS figure, the full spectrum camera captures an odd mist, and there’s a long sequence of alleged footsteps. Also, a brief visit to a candy shop provides some surprisingly good humor, which rarely works on this show.
4 LEWIS FLATS SCHOOL - 8.9Â (S16, E8)
In this episode, the investigation is set at a school that burned down and became a taxidermy-filled steakhouse. This selection almost gets straight to the evidence, rather than the typical half-interview formula. And it’s pretty intriguing, with EMF spikes, intelligent audio responses, and even the classic horror staple of fluctuating lights.
But the most alarming moment is the extraordinarily distinct shadow behind a doorway. Clear enough to suggest a living intruder, who apparently left some animal bones. That kind of threat is equally disconcerting as any alleged ghost. Still, after a couple of thrown objects, Aaron is left by himself. He’s scared out of his mind by some strange sounds, later jumping at his own reflection. It’s both compelling and pretty amusing.
3 IRELAND'S CELTIC DEMONS - 9.0 ( 10/31/14)
This two-hour special appropriately travels to the birthplace of Halloween, and tells a brief origin for the holiday. It’s a fun way to get in the mood for Halloween, an inviting time to watch this show. The guys undergo an entry ritual to appease an old Celtic goddess, and there’s a story about a demonic cat. It’s all a bit much, but the specials usually are.
It’s just the thing to deter more casual audiences. But familiarized fans are on board as long as the evidence and history are intriguing. The Irish setting is fascinating, and although the first half doesn’t offer much beyond an EVP scream, Loftus Hall delivers. Built in 1666, the team captures an almost stereotypical ghost in a doorway, a white mist. They also get an extensive SLS figure apparently standing on Aaron’s shoulders.
2 HALLOWEEN SPECIAL: ROUTE 666 - 9.1Â (10/29/16)
This was a two-parter taking place at the DeSoto Hotel and Goatman’s Bridge. So, the special is, in fact, available to stream on Hulu, albeit by those individual titles. This was a pretty stunning special. It had some incredible evidence, and an experience that convinced Jay Wasley’s wife to quit the show. Undoubtedly, the DeSoto Hotel includes some of the most memorable moments in the show.
Shadow figures compel Billy to actually call the police at a cemetery. A ceiling fan is thrown in plain sight, and the light above it turns on by itself. Also, a wire’s tugged in equal view of the cameras. Goatman’s Bridge is unfortunately set in the woods, where evidence is even more unreliable and unclear. Worse, the physical effects are totally indeterminable as evidence. However, there’s still some interesting audio.
1 HELL HOLE PRISON - 9.2Â (S12, E8)
Prisons have long been a terrifying, awful place, regardless of any purported paranormal activity. It’s a concentrated population of immoral, vicious people. Guards and prisoners perpetuate violence within those walls. But in this episode, the crew collects SLS evidence of some remarkably friendly types.
It may sound silly, but an entire band of ghosts appears to perform on a stage. They react with intelligent responses to the team’s communication. It’s a profoundly strange, amusing, and impressive piece of footage. If you believe in the supernatural, and this show, then it’s easy to understand (understand) how it achieved the highest IMDb ranking of all.
