[47:50] See You in the Shadows

Charlie is officially on baby watch, so this week it’s just Mel and Lor holding down the haunted fort as they dive into Ghost Adventures Season 30, Episode 9: Buried Souls of Pendleton, Part 2.

Back in Pendleton, Oregon, Zak and the crew head deeper into the underground tunnels, where the history gets heavier, the tech gets weirder, and the evidence gets a whole lot more debatable. Mel and Lor pick apart the second half of the investigation, from the jail cells and spirit box sessions to the isolated video loop nonsense, mysterious footsteps, and Zak suddenly claiming he can smell fear through a respirator.

The episode also brings out the big guns with a LIDAR scan that Ghost Adventures presents as major scientific proof, which of course leads to a full breakdown of what that tech actually does, what it might mean, and whether any of this would hold up outside of paranormal reality TV land.

Along the way, the hosts talk ghost translation apps, suspicious camera moments, Tommy the PA making footsteps upstairs, and whether the Pendleton haunting feels truly paranormal or just very well produced.

If you liked Part One, Part Two is where things get stranger, more technical, and somehow even more chaotic.

[1:22:51] See You In The Shadows

WE'RE BACK!!!! Ghost Adventures heads to Pendleton, Oregon for a chilling two-part investigation beneath the city’s historic streets. In Buried Souls of Pendleton: Part One, Zak Bagans and the crew explore the infamous Pendleton Underground, a hidden network of tunnels tied to racial violence, outlaw justice, brothels, and long-buried secrets of the Wild West.

Paranormal Playback breaks down the episode’s historical claims, including connections to the Oregon Trail, the Hell’s Canyon massacre of Chinese miners, and the forced underground existence of marginalized communities. The hosts examine the Cozy Rooms brothel, discuss Stella Darby’s complicated legacy, and question how much of Zak’s paranormal hypothesis holds up under scrutiny.

As the investigation unfolds, the crew captures unsettling PolterPod responses, EMF spikes, unexplained footsteps, and a controversial moment involving a guest investigator that sparks serious discussion. With new tech introduced, shadowy figures hinted at, and the episode ending on a dramatic cliffhanger, Part One raises more questions than answers about what truly lingers beneath Pendleton — and whether the past ever stays buried.

Charlie breaks down the town’s history, fact-checks claims about the Moaning Caverns and Jamestown Hotel, and analyzes the episode’s most unsettling moments, including a former sheriff’s alleged possession and evidence captured inside the hotel’s basement. With EMF spikes, validated baselines, Polaroid anomalies, and a chilling XLS figure, this becomes one of the most compelling episodes of the season. Charlie also delivers a special “This Old Haunt: Charlie Checks the Facts,” challenging myths while highlighting the real history that makes Jamestown genuinely eerie.

[48:50] Night 1: Voices, Shadows & Early Activity

[59:15] Night 2: Into the Cistern & Mold-Suit Madness

[1:10:30] Thermal Figures, Final Debunking & Beverly’s Farewell

Paranormal Playback covers Ghost Adventures Season 30 Episode 6, Rage on the River. Charlie and Mel break down Ghost Adventures’ investigation of the abandoned River Inn in Reno, NV, a once–luxury hot springs resort now known for its crumbling structure, questionable mob lore, and local ghost stories. The hosts dig into Aaron’s theatrical river entrance, the crew’s early claims of child apparitions and EMF spikes, and the strange audio captured throughout the property.

But nothing compares to the arrival of psychic medium Beverly Pasco, whose frantic energy, dramatic fainting spell, and nonstop commentary turn the episode into instant paranormal-reality TV chaos. The team pairs Zach’s exaggerated storytelling with real history from the River Inn’s long line of bankruptcies, failed redevelopments, and one documented drowning — far from the mob massacres the show hints at.

RIP to Beverly Pasco, who passed away after filming. Her unforgettable appearance remains one of the most iconic (and unhinged) moments in Ghost Adventures history.

Whether you’re a Ghost Adventures fan or just love a good haunted amusement park story, this episode delivers laughs, lore, history, and solid paranormal commentary.

[1:15:50] Haunted or Hoax?

In this technologically challenged episode of Paranormal Playback, Charlie, Melanie, and Lore introduce the episode and then Char & Mel dive into Ghost Adventures Season 30 Episode 5: “Darkness at Belmont Park.” The crew recaps Zak Bagans’ investigation at San Diego’s historic amusement park and it's infamous roller coaster The Giant Dipper, exploring its tragic history, reported hauntings, and the questionable tech the GA team brings along for the ride. From disembodied screams and moving coaster cars to allegedly haunted arcades and that unforgettable “Slender Man” figure caught on camera, the hosts break down every moment with skepticism, humor, and paranormal curiosity.

Mel’s deep-dive This Old Haunt segment uncovers what’s historically true (and what definitely isn’t), while Charlie debates whether the park’s paranormal activity is residual energy, intelligent spirits, or simply Ghost Adventures doing what they do best. Expect EVP analysis, thermal anomalies, creepy kid voices, stuffed-elephant mysteries, and several moments that left the hosts wondering if the tech crew was just messing with Zak.

Whether you’re a Ghost Adventures fan or just love a good haunted amusement park story, this episode delivers laughs, lore, history, and solid paranormal commentary.

From Zak Bagans’ hazmat cosplay to Aaron’s terrifying physical episode, the crew analyzes the investigation moment-by-moment, including EMF spikes, eerie EVPs, chilling thermal captures, and one of the strangest XLS stick-figure interactions Ghost Adventures has shown in years. With a mix of skepticism, humor, and genuine creep-factor, this episode explores what was real, what was questionable, and what definitely sent chills through the team. If you’re searching for a deep, entertaining recap of Ghost Adventures: Hospital of the Damned, this is your episode.

[58:40] Haunted or Hoax?

[1:28:00] See You in the Shadows

The Paranormal Playback crew, Charlie, Mel, and Lor, return for the highly-anticipated Season 30 premiere of Ghost Adventures, Mountain of Madness Part I. Broadcasting from Casper Mountain, Wyoming, this episode dives deep into UFO sightings, alien abductions, haunted airbase hospitals, and Zak Bagans’ latest over-the-top investigation.

Mel’s This Old Haunt segment unpacks the real-world lore behind Casper Mountain. The hosts debate Boyd Bushman’s alien whistleblower claims, Zak’s obsession with “haunted rocks,” and whether the show’s newest evidence is paranormal, extraterrestrial, or just pure chaos.

With humor, skepticism, and a splash of wine, the trio breaks down every scream, spirit box session, and “electric energy” moment from the Ghost Adventures crew. Buckle up for theories about UFO bases, alien probing, and why every haunted mountain apparently comes with a marble-countertop RV.

Grab your sheet mask and Ectoplasm Green wine, because Mountain of Madness has officially begun.

Hey Shadow People, Charlie here with our final Host Favorite Replay! For my pick, I had to go with Uninvited Guests, where the Ghost Adventures crew takes on the Winchester Mystery House and drags Houdini into Zak’s chaos.

In this episode, we recap Ghost Adventures Season 29, Episode 2: The Houdini Séance. We explore Houdini’s history as a debunker, the mansion’s bizarre construction, and call out the episode’s misleading claims, like Houdini’s widow holding séances there (she didn’t). With humor, side-eyes at Zak’s antics, and spooky history, this replay is part ghost story, part roast story.

Along the way, the Ghoulies debate whether the activity points to intelligent hauntings or just residual energy echoing through the stone walls, while roasting Chip’s dramatics and questioning how brave they’d be with only a lantern on a dark coastline.

Hey Shadow People, quick programming note. Due to some personal emergencies, we’re moving part I of our next Kindred Spirits recap to Wednesday’s release. But don’t worry, we won’t leave you without a haunt. To hold you over, we’ve got a This Old Haunt minisode special.

From the Halliwell Manuscript and the myth of Euclid’s geometry, to the chilling details of Masonic initiation rituals (blindfolds, oaths, and symbolic death), this episode uncovers how ritual and secrecy created centuries of conspiracy theories and paranormal lore.

If you love paranormal podcasts, ghost stories, conspiracy theories, haunted history, or secret societies, this minisode is packed with the lore that shaped both history and haunting.

A fatal car crash. A devoted chauffeur. A mansion full of sorrow. In this monthly Minisode of This Old Haunt, host Melanie Malone takes you inside one of New England’s most famously haunted homes: The Houghton Mansion of North Adams, Massachusetts.

We’re peeling back the paranormal drama to get to the real story, a 1914 tragedy that claimed the lives of Mary Houghton, her father A.C. Houghton, and their chauffeur John Widders. What started as a scenic summer drive turned into one of the most well-documented hauntings in Massachusetts history.

From Freemason secrets and newspaper frenzies, to phantom apologies and a Pierce-Arrow with no brakes, this story has it all.

With thermal cams, static night vision, and the earliest glimpse of Billy from PIMPS (yes, really), the investigation teeters between eerie and absurd. Was that a mist, a glitch, or a ghostly foreman named Slag? Tune in as the hosts separate spooky fact from ghost-hunting fiction, and declare whether Sloss is haunted or just industrial noise and nostalgia.

This haunted hangout features a chaotic paranormal drinking game called Tarot of the Damned, dramatic tarot pulls, and spine-tingling personal stories.

Between the hauntings and heartfelt confessions, the team plays a ghost-themed version of F**k, Marry, Kill called Summon, Séance, or Salt, featuring celebrity spirits and infamous figures.

In this episode of Charlie Checks the Tech, part of the Paranormal Playback podcast, host Charlie dives into the Ovilus, a popular yet controversial tool seen in ghost hunting shows like Ghost Adventures and Kindred Spirits. Often touted as a way for spirits to speak through technology, the Ovilus generates words based on environmental changes like EMF, temperature, and pressure. Charlie explores its various modes (Dictionary, Phonetic, Touch/Thermal, and White Noise), and questions its scientific reliability, transparency, and repeatability. With a skeptical yet open-minded tone, she explains how confirmation bias and emotional language can trick investigators into believing random words are meaningful messages from the dead. Whether you're a believer or a skeptic, this episode delivers a critical, entertaining, and informative take on one of the paranormal world’s most misunderstood gadgets. Perfect for fans of ghost hunting tech, EVP tools, and paranormal reality TV.

In this episode of Paranormal Playback, Charlie Checks the Tech takes a deep dive into XLS cameras, often seen on shows like Ghost Adventures, and explains how these stick-figure-producing devices actually work. Originally designed for Xbox Kinect gaming, XLS (or SLS) cameras use structured light sensors and infrared grids to map human shapes, but they often misidentify furniture, shadows, and reflections as ghosts. Charlie breaks down the science behind these false positives, explains when the tech might be worth paying attention to, and offers tips for responsible use. It’s a fun, skeptical look at one of ghost hunting’s most misunderstood gadgets.

[16:32] Wrap-Up & Teaser  

Welcome to This Old Haunt - Minisode Edition, the series where Paranormal Playback co-host Melanie Malone digs into the dark history behind your favorite haunted locations, and sorts fact from full-on ghost bro fiction.

In our first minisode, we’re unraveling the myths behind Bobby Mackey’s Music World, the infamous Kentucky honky tonk dubbed “the most haunted nightclub in America.” You’ve heard the stories: the headless ghost of Pearl Bryan, a haunted well rumored to be a portal to hell, and the tragic spirit of nightclub dancer Johanna. But what’s real, and what’s just paranormal PR?

We cover:

• The real-life murder of Pearl Bryan in 1896 (and why her ghost probably isn't at the bar)
• The origin of the slaughterhouse basement legend
• Who Johanna was... or wasn’t
• And how Ghost Adventures made it all legendary in Season 1, Episode 1: Bobby Mackey's Music World

In this episode of Charlie Checks the Tech on Paranormal Playback, Char takes a critical look at Spirit Boxes, popular ghost-hunting tools used to detect paranormal activity by scanning AM/FM radio frequencies. Also known as ghost boxes or polter pods, these devices create bursts of static and audio fragments that some believe allow spirits to communicate. Char explains the science and psychology behind why people hear voices, touching on audio pareidolia, confirmation bias, and radio interference. She shares expert tips for using Spirit Boxes more effectively, such as fast sweep rates, recording sessions, and pairing results with other paranormal data. While not dismissing them entirely, Char urges ghost hunters to use these devices with skepticism, context, and careful documentation.

From misidentified tech like the Tri-field Meter and XLS-2 to Aaron’s candy-fueled antics and untested “remains,” the hosts dish out both skepticism and spooky vibes in equal measure. Highlights include loud EVPs, theories about secret witches in the attic, and a heated debate over what the spirit box really said.

In this episode of Paranormal Playback, Char, Mel, and Lor dive into Ghost Adventures Season 29, Episode 6: Living Dead on La Brea, where Zak & the crew investigate the Hollywood Women’s Club. Once a glitzy girls’ school, now a haunted hotbed of secret societies, seizures, and suspect bones.

Mel breaks down the building’s true history in This Old Haunt, from Prohibition parties and silent film glam to a white supremacist preacher who allegedly cursed the land. Meanwhile, the team unpacks vintage ghost girl sightings, a raw-chicken re-enactment, and what might be Zak’s worst tech demo yet.

Part II of our Ghost Adventures Season 29, Episode 5 recap is pure paranormal chaos. The crew dives into ritual circles, EMF spikes, and the pettiest ghost hunter feud in cable TV history. Zak thinks he’s chatting with Henry Rispin’s spirit, but Mel, Char, and Lor are more concerned with the suspicious stick-figure “evidence,” ghost gadgets from another timeline, and a very unverifiable story about a missing girl. It’s all demon burps, haunted convent energy, and tech that does absolutely nothing. Buckle up for the séance spirals and spirit gossip.

Mel dives into the real backstory in This Old Haunt, covering the rise and ruin of Henry Allen Rispin’s luxury resort dream, followed by its eerie second life as a convent for the barefoot Poor Clare nuns. The team unpacks folklore, local legends, and a possible fatal fall, while side-eyeing Zak’s dramatic curse theories, cult talk, and shaky reenactments. Come for the ghost gossip, stay for the convent lore, chaotic transitions, and a suspicious lack of haunted vibes.

This week Char, Mel, and Lor recap Ghost Adventures Season 29, Episode 4: Abandoned at Whiskey Pete’s, diving into the strange history and lackluster hauntings of the now-closed, castle-themed casino in Primm, Nevada. They explore the tragic past events, including two child murders, and the legend of Whiskey Pete, a bootlegger allegedly buried upright with a bottle of moonshine. While the Ghost Adventures crew (joined by comedian Matt Rife) tries to dramatize the investigation with vague energy readings and theatrical narration, the hosts find the episode underwhelming and filled with more speculation than substance. They poke fun at Zach Bagans’ usual antics, the unclear paranormal claims, and the absence of things like Bonnie and Clyde’s death car, ultimately concluding that the lore is more compelling than the investigation itself.

TW: This episode discusses suicide - In this emotionally charged episode of Paranormal Playback, Char, Lor, and Mel dive into Ghost Adventures Season 29, Episode 3 as the team returns to the Glen Tavern Inn, a haunted California hotel with a tragic backstory. The investigation centers around Patrick Smith, a psychic featured in a previous Ghost Adventures episode, who died by suicide three months after a chilling seance with the crew. Mel investigates the inn’s lore, debunking myths about brothels and beheaded cowboys, while the team critiques everything from Zach’s dramatics and fingerless gloves to the use of the word “synchronicity.” Despite the heaviness of the topic, the trio maintains their sharp humor, questioning whether the spirits, or the show’s editing, are to blame for the chaos.

They explore Houdini’s history as a debunker, the mansion’s bizarre construction, and call out the episode’s misleading claims—like Houdini’s widow holding seances there (she didn’t). With plenty of humor, side-eyes at Zak’s antics, and spooky history, this recap is part ghost story, part roast story.

Between jokes about Zak Bagans’ fashion and production theatrics, the hosts also unpack the rumored fallout between Zak and Nick Groff, poke fun at new catchphrases, and question whether the “curse” is real or just Hollywood myth. It’s a snarky, spooky deep-dive into one of paranormal TV’s most iconic investigations.
