Ghost Adventures: House Calls

This is my first review on the computer and I just wanted to say how much i loved this show! I watched it with my entire family (my sons PJ and Vixen plus my beautiful wife Tracy). Let's just say that Tracy was FREAKED out the entire time! PJ kept making fun of her and even trying to scare her from behind a couple of times! She even jumped out of her chair when PJ jumped out of our bathroom door, scaring her to death!

Vixen on the other hand stayed quiet the entire time we watched the show. At the end of the first episode I turned to Vixen and asked, "you okay, bud?" To which he replied, "Zack Bagans is what I wish I was and who I wish you were." That was the most words I have ever heard spoken from his mouth. His words raddled my bones. His words raddled my conscious.

For the past few years, I haven't been there for my family. I have been there physically but my emotional side has been completely absent. I know it's time to make a change. From here on out in my life, I will be joining the Ghost Adventure crew on all their excursions throughout America and Eastern Europe. They don't know it yet but I will be following them. I will be investigating with them. I will be locked down from dusk till dawn with them. I will be with them until my son Vixen is able to look me in the eyes and be proud of the father that he has.

Zak can't even bother to show up, he just phones in his performance and makes everyone else do the work.

Get off your ass, show up, and quit talking down to your crew.

Probably the last series of Ghost Adventures I'll watch.

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.

I would really love to see them try to help the family. It seems like they are only confirming presences...but not giving information or help in actually helping these families. Honestly, I would be even more terrified of living there and scared of not knowing how to fix the actual problem. I love watching the evidence but am concerned for the families. It is also REALLY weird that Zak is never there. We all started watching the show as we loved Zak but not having him on site is very odd. Is he ever going to come on calls? Still love Aaron but miss Zak. Love the one that shows the stick figures. Please work on making this better because it could be great.

I've been a fan of all ghost hunting type shows since I was a child and Ghost Adventures used to be a favorite until it seemed to become more scripted, with a lot more acting. I also really don't like the provoking... from other shows I've watched, provoking really isn't a great idea and can often make things worse. Season 1 ep 1, my issues with this series began from the start when they automatically assumed a demonic entity without actual proof and then proceeded to provoke. If the couple in this episode really were experiencing things in their home that seemed malevolent, I'm sure the team just escalated it and left the couple with it. It makes me angry for them.
