GA: Northern New Jersey Asylum (Overbrook/Essex County)
by Harry
The World Poker Tour and Ghost Adventures are both programs on the Travel Channel. On the World Poker Tour, we get to see professional poker players "go all in," meaning they bet all of their chips on a single hand. If they lose the hand, they lose all of their chips and are out of the game. Last night's episode of GA had several similar "all in" moments by Zak, Nick, and Aaron. In them, we are left with only two possibilities: 1) the GA crew captured some amazing evidence of paranormal activity, or 2) the GA crew brazenly perpetrated hoaxes and deception. There was no middle ground last night.

North Jersey Psychiatric Facility provided the GA team with an environment sure to test their skills, nerves and investigative abilities to the fullest. Three guys with minimum equipment but a lot of enthusiasm tackle one of the more daunting tasks-investigating a crumbling facility where specters of staff and patients might still wander down its empty halls.

GA: Northern NJ Asylum – Preview
Ben from the Travel Channel has been persistently filling out the Contact form every week to let me (and I'm sure every other paranormal site's administrator) know about the upcoming Ghost Adventures episode. He's been including an episode preview too, which is cool in the sense that you get to watch a commercial from the Travel Channel without having to sit through any of their programming. I kid. I'm a big fan of the World Poker Tour and highly recommend it to anyone who has an interest but suspects watching Poker would be like watching Golf. Nay, it's much more fun and — I hate to say it — but some people might find it has more action than a typical Baseball game.

GA: Riddle House
I know we're a few episodes into the season (and the series) but I finally decided to sit down and watch one of the new Ghost Adventures investigations. Starting from the beginning seemed like the right move until I realized anyone that's actually been following the series watched that one a month ago and has the most recent episode fresh in their minds — so I decided to start there instead.

Halloween with… Ghost Adventures?
The Travel Channel is pushing heavily for exposure on their new "Ghost Adventures" show. The channel may not have the greatest street-cred in the paranormal community (*cough* Most Hauxted *cough*) but I was impressed when I saw the two-hour "Ghost Adventures" documentary, which offered up a fresh type of investigation where the investigators are the only ones on-site (no camera or audio crew, just a couple of guys with camcorders) and the evidence consists of things we can actually see and hear on the recordings.

Ghost Adventures
A few folks have mentioned they wanted me to review a two-hour documentary called "Ghost Adventures". I saw it when it first aired and there did appear to be a couple of pieces of compelling evidence in there. It's basically 3 guys (later only 2) that take their own cameras, no camera crew or sound guys, and go to reportedly haunted places. I liked their style and concept, and I really liked some of their evidence — at first. Now I'm not entirely sure, but let's go through the best of it and you guys can watch for yourselves and decide.
