Pointless show, raking over old coals and aired to massage Zak's ego!


Ghost Adventures Aftershocks,
Created by: Zak Bagans
Presented by : Zak Bagans
Starring : Zak Bagans (listed but i thought it's same as presented)
Executive producer : Yes you guessed it!

So Nick's left GAC with no reason given as to why from either Zak, Nick or Aaron as they avoid answering questions on it that got tongues wagging after Nick unfollowed Zak on twitter and has not tweeted him for months. Possibly due to Nick joining another channel to exec. produce his own show Ghost Stalkers.

With Zak's nose out of joint with this bombshell dropped by nick a months ago and his new show Zak must have thought i can't be upstaged so dropped Aaron from most of his stuff.
Aftershocks has no new visits to "haunted" locations and basically is a previously filmed recap show billed as new as he interviews previous interviewees again to ask how their lives have changed since they were locked down at their particular location.

I don't think anyone told Zak that interviews with locals or "witnesses" is not why fans tune into GAC show it's the lockdown in the dark at a "haunted " location. The last few seasons of GA have been a bit stale as the money and egos went into overdrive with the interviews more about Zak poking fun and ridiculing people rather than trying to gather statements.
I watched the GA show as i found it hilarious,

1) Zak inane ramblings taken from every haunted movie he has ever watched and using the statements as his own.
2) Zak repeating their scientific techniques in a field ridiculed and laughed at by actual scientists.
3) After an interviewee stated that an exorcism happened at the location either Zak or Nick would become possessed by a demon that night! (still gets me lol) Demonic possession on tap like beer!
4) spoke of ghosts use this device as they can manipulate the words, ghosts are made up of electromagnetic energy! (erm proof anyone)
5) Standing in a creepy house in the pitch black and getting a chill means a ghost is touching you. ( hello.....)
6) 43 minute show which has 20 mins of 3 guys filming their arms which incidentally also means a ghost is there!
7) "I just saw a man....woman.....small child etc" during many episodes by all three presenters with no evidence but their word. Nobody checking that their audio techs are not adding the whispered voices (EVP's) as they use their laptops to play it

So basically with Nick off with his new show Zak is given an ego massage (Aftershocks) by The Travel Channel to stop him going in a huff as surely he must have thought being self-proclaimed "lead investigator" in GAC he was the star and would get his own show. I think the show will end as Zak would need to teach Billy tolley to stare into the camera, walk around aimlessly while blanking Aaron's questions, i.e Possessed by a demon, as he can't do them all every show.

I give AFTERSHOCKS 2 goosebumps out of 10 on the scientific arm scale as it's a cheap recap series of episodes with no expense of travelling while on the travel channel! LMAO you couldn't make it up....oh yes you could!

The scientific techniques used by GAC are pretty great actually and I haven't seen any ridiculing. Nobody else has taken the time or energy to actually come up with these techniques. Using things like the Kinect is pretty freakin smart if you ask me.....and we know it obviously works on the Xbox. Sounds to me like you're clearly an amateur and have no business commenting on things you know nothing about. As for this show....I haven't watched it yet, but the original show is by far the best ghost show out there with the most compelling evidence to date.

LMAO

Actually i'm a bacteriologist and unlike yourself who believes a funny TV show on the Travel Channel over 99.9% of scientists i know enough learned professionals to know that a game console add-on cannot locate the spirits of dead human beings!!!

If your amazed by a guy who flunked out of his acting course at college (ZAK) because he removes little boxes with flashing lights on them from his backpack and calls it science then amateur clearly fits the bill.

His GAC resident "scientist" Bill Chappel creates these gadgets along with Gary Galka who sell these items to imbiciles like yourself and get rich in the process. Galka tragically lost his daughter in a car accident and now thinks that she is still living in the family home, setting her dinner place at the table and talking top her like she's in the room because he feels it. The mind has trouble with loss in which case you will find most paranormal investigators have lost a loved one and can't accept as a mammal they have died along with brain function, memories, feelings etc.

Science is a fact field where theories are stated then proved or disproved by fellow experts. You show me a paper by a reknowned scientist that has proven the existance of ghosts and then i will believe. Until then you can gaze longingly at Zak's picture on your living room wall but take care you do not become possessed with predictable regularity like he does!!!!! LOL
