Ghost Adventures is a weekly American paranormal reality television series that premiered on October 17, 2008 on the Travel Channel. The program follows and stars ghost hunters Zak Bagans, Nick Groff, and Aaron Goodwin as they investigate locations that are reported to be haunted. Hosted and narrated by Bagans, the show originally airs every Friday at 9:00 PM Eastern Time on the Travel Channel. The tagline of the series is: "Can you handle the lockdown?"
Bagans, Groff, and Goodwin investigate reportedly haunted locations, hoping to capture visual or audio evidence of paranormal activity. Each episode begins with the crew touring the investigation site with its owners or caretakers. These introductions typically include Zak's narrations of the so-called "dark history" of the places and interviews with people who claim to have witnessed paranormal phenomena at the location. The team places X's with black or gray tape at the sites of alleged activity and later returns to set static night-vision cameras at these "hotspots."
After completing the walkthrough, Bagans, Groff, and Goodwin plan their strategy and then are "locked down" into the location by themselves for a "dusk-until-dawn" investigation. During the "lockdown," Bagans, Groff, and Goodwin use a variety of equipment, including digital thermometers, EMF meters, handheld digital video cameras, digital audio recorders, and infrared night-vision cameras in an effort to capture paranormal evidence. On some investigations, they often follow provocative techniques, such as the use "trigger objects" and aggressive language, in an attempt to increase their chances of capturing such phenomena. At the end of some episodes, the crew analyzes their audio, photos, and video footage (often with the assistance of "paranormal experts") and presents any unexplained phenomena that were captured.
