Ghost Adventures: House Calls

While his team go and investigate these homes, he sits at home, watching on a screen, barking orders!!! He is rude, dramatic, & just over the top... I really miss the old shows. Everything from Zak is so scripted now. No wonder Nick left. This could have been a Fantastic show! Huge disappointment...another thing, I feel bad for these families! The crew go into these homes, provoking spirits, then just leave!!! Granted they give advice, but the least they can do is say a prayer. If this is the first show you watch by Ghost Adventures, please check out their shows when they first started. Big Big Difference.

Read a lot of these reviews and nearly didn't watch the series. I'm amazed how board people are they spend their free time (I don't have that sort of extra time) watching shows they know they're going to hate or dislike or have the intensions of calling it "fake" before they even tuned in to watch the show. These shows (ghost and paranormal shows) aren't for everyone, I get that. However, if you do enjoy ghost paranormal shows this is among the most entertaining PERIOD! Continue to read and you'll see I'm not even the biggest fan of Zak Bagans, yet despite his annoyance, the show still flows very well, I don't believe for a second those telling the stories unquestionably believe what they're experiencing is real. The question is, is it in their heads?

I love they're dedicated a season of shows to house calls. I always found these the most interesting in many cases and the people they help can add a very interesting aspect to the show, and the homeowners add an unpredictable aspect to the show.

I can't figure out what's going on with Zak and his long-distance attempt at investigating. There's no question he's been the keep success to this show and its longevity and I salute him for that. If anyone ever had questions about his need to be the center of attention, this show will answer that for you. The guy is literally in another state and still can't be unable to take his hands off the wheel and trust the guys he's been investigating for 2 decades! He certainly manages to be an effective team member not being physically present but at points, it's entirely too much it becomes obvious he's got deep control issues and seems to feel the need to constantly prove himself and remind the audience he's the boss and weren't to make sure everyone knows he's not relinquishing the position of team leader and subconscious it's bothering him a little bit he's not there and missing out on the credit and his shine he thinks he deserves.

If Zak wasn't such a nag I'd have given the show a 10 as my all-time favorite season of any ghost show.

This show is essentially another series of Ghost Adventures except they're visiting locations suggested by viewers.

It's ok at times, though I still have the usual complaints.

• Stop using the Kinect box (it's not useful nor does it work)
• Invite skeptics on to showcase the work

Zak needs to come back. But he also needs to stop claiming he is possessed and insulting native Americans.

OMG.

What a shame.

This is pretty damn awful and yes, unconvincing.

That S3 Auburn episode, featuring the woman who obviously is visiting an unknown "spectrum" in her head.

The guys are obviously going through the motions at this point.

Unfortunately, this cannot continue with Zak "phoning it in" like this in my opinion. I guess he obviously doesn't need the money, or is just completely germaphobed out.

It feels like the show just took a giant step backwards to the year 2020 where everyone is on Zoom again.

I had to do a double take with all of the masks being worn.

Is this the new format moving forward? If so. See ya!

RIP GA.

Update - I saw the 3rd episode "Auburn In Hell" and must admit this shows getting bad quick. What a horrible 3rd episode! Whoever is picking these locations and people to investigate should be fired. And is Bagans going to seriously just FaceTime the group every episode? That was another horrible idea. This show started good but now sucks. The lady in s1e3 is a horrible actor and it's blatantly obvious everything happening is fake. You'd think they would try a little harder making it seem authentic. Huge let down. If I happen to watch the next episode I may update this but I doubt it will change. I was a GA fan but that's starting to change if this is what they turn into.
