Ghost Adventures Nick Groff
Nick Groff Exits Ghost Adventures
Twitter exploded when the Travel Channel posted a “good-bye” tweet thanking Ghost Adventures (GAC) co-founder Nick Groff. Nick quickly sent out a follow-up tweet reaffirming the news that he had in fact left the insanely popular GAC show. As a true professional, Nick remained positive and respectful. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said about the other co-founder Zak Bagans.
Change is inevitable. Change moves at light speed in the reality television realm. Every TV show has a natural lifespan. And they differ. But in the end, all TV shows end. Realizing this, a savvy TV celebrity recreates and rebrands himself to remain relevant. Madonna comes to mind. She’s a pro at it. Zak Bagans did it by developing Ghost Adventures: Aftershocks, where he profiles some of the GAC’s more exciting investigations. Now it’s Nick’s turn.
Nick’s brainchild is Ghost Stalkers (GS), starring John E.L. Tenney and Chad Lindberg. John, the seasoned researcher, and Chad, the para-newbie, travel the U.S. in a Coachmen RV and investigate low-media profiled locations. Paranormal inventor David Rountree creates new instruments to assist in the investigations. Investigations cover 2 days with each taking a turn locked inside. John and Chad are incredibly likeable and sincere. GS has breathed a breath of fresh air into the paranormal reality TV biz. Last week GS ended its freshman season consisting of 6 episodes. Fans await news of a second season. Hint, hint Destination America.
The paranormal community took to twitter for comments from all affected. The GS base posted highly favorable comments and kept it positive. The GAC side was silent. Crickets could be heard from the lack of interest from Mr. Baggans, who focused on himself and the new season starting in January. Pressed for any comment, Mr. Bagans said:
- many of you have been asking…Nick is no longer with Ghost Adventures. Right now Im focused on the new season premiering Jan 10th 2015
- I’d also like to make an announcement……
- I’m pleased to announce that season 10 returns January 10th with the most-anticipated episode ever… the BELL WITCH CAVE #GhostAdventures
- and not to mention the next episode after BELL WITCH CAVE is the SALLIE HOUSE …oh yes, get ready!!!!
Well, this was disappointing…not unexpected…but very disappointing. Similar to the supposed rift between Jason Hawes and Amy Bruni from Ghost Hunters, this intentional diss from Bagans is abysmal to the paranormal community. Viewers do not care about the contractual obligations of paranormal reality TV people. Dishing on dirty laundry, however, diminishes the hard work others, TV and non-TV people alike, put into the field.
In short: Man up, Zak, and thank your “friend” and wish him well. Acknowledge his leaving in a professional manner. Set an example to your fans who follow ALL of you.
Update: Approximately 4 hours after the announcement and 15 minutes after posting this article, Mr. Bagans posted: I do wish Nick the best w his future while I continue to deliver GAC fans what they want. #GhostAdventures.

The Haunted Librarian 
I watched the show tonight and wondered why Nick was not present again so I googled and found this site. I have watched most of the episodes since the beginning but as of late I have been changing the channel. The show has become boring, has had several repetitive episodes and Zak’s superior attitude is nauseating. I used to believe the truth was being told in the episodes, but now I see Zak as a fake only looking for ratings. I won’t watch the show again. I wish Nick good luck and will try to find his new show to watch. As far as grammar and spelling is concerned, who cares! Not everyone is perfect. We can figure out what someone ‘s trying to say, there’s no need to be rude. This isn’t the spelling and grammar forum.
I absolutely, TOTALLY agree with everything you said! You hit the nail right on the head when you said that Zak’s superior attitude is nauseating, I’ve always felt the same way. I also, like you, used to believe the show was real but now it’s becoming so much more obvious that it’s faked. I’ve seen other teams investigate the same places that GAC has been and they rarely ever get anything (the Sallie House, for example) but yet when GAC investigates, they get all this outrageous “evidence” from the very beginning. Seems like with every season that passes, the more obnoxious, arrogant, and self-centered Zak gets. I think the fame has gone straight to his head and he totally shows it. I’m gonna miss Nick but on the bright side at least there’s still one nice guy on the main team, and that’s Aaron. I’ve always adored him, he’s so sweet! Plus, he’s just as famous as Zak and Nick, yet he’s still just as sweet as he ever was. He didn’t let fame turn him into a pr!!ck they way Zak did. Jay and Billy are cool too.
I have been reading these comments and initially had the same feelings about Zak. I think we have all let our emotions get In the way here. I know it’s sad that Nick left but these things happen. You have to remember how many hours of entertainment we have had because of the show and Im pretty sure it would not have happened if Zak didn’t put it together. It is because of his confidence that he was able to be the host of every show. He is very talented and the other guys are great at what they do as far as production, film and technical issues. They are also incredibly brave. But If you remember in the very first episode, the documentary, Aaron wanted to go home because they hadn’t seen anything paranormal. Zak kept going and finally the brick was thrown and we all crapped our pants by the horror these guys felt in that building. I think we all related to how they felt and I myself, was addicted to these guys from that moment. Another one of the firsts was when Nick was in a bathroom at that hole in the ground bar, and he was afraid of a nioise and came running out and Zak went back with him to see what it was and they heard it again. Nick started to bolt and Zak said “Stop running”.
We all have to take our emotions out of this and focus on the excellent entertainment ALL of these men have created. They all had their own talents they brought to the table but if it wasn’t for Zak, we would not even be having this conversation right now and would still be watching Ghost Hunters….. Blah.
This is my opinion and you all have yours but I think we should just keep watching the show because it’s still awesome. I’m hoping Nick brings another show so we will have more to watch. I wish them all well and happiness and I thank them for giving me hours of scary moments and laughs. I also have learned so much from them and was inspired by them so much I opened my own company and support myself doing investigations at haunted locations. Keep going Zak, Nick and Aaron. You guys are are all awesome.
Can’t state enough how right you guys are. Zak is all about Zak. The crew was disintegrating at start of season 10. I think Z has had some plastic surgery on his face.
I agree with the last 2 post Zak is bragging about his new cars but he always tell Nick and Aaron to go in first and stay there. He must not have the Ding Dong that he want’s to present. In the beginning the shows where good, but later on Zak is the chicken like when Zak and Aaron went to Ireland and left Aaron in a room scared shit less and Aaron heard a Banshee the night before, and on there way back to the bottom of the hill they heard it again and then Zak wants to go roaming threw the woods to find it like there really gonna see something. Every house I’ve lived in has or had a spirit in it, the home I live in now has one. I seen 3 human shape shadow figures walking in front of the garage door and it takes our medications and we hear weird noises around the home. I don’t have any high tech equipment but I would rather have Nick instead of Zak to check it out. Cause we don’t have any ghost hunters in our area. And what channel and time does Nick come on.
I don’t understand why you claim Zac has a superior attitude. I’ve watched GA since the first show and loved the documentary that came before. The guys wanted to find answers and they still do. Nick has a family and creating GS is better for his family life than being on GA. I’d be upset too if I were Zac, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t still close. Over the last 10 years Zac went from making a documentary to being a star, that will change anyone a bit, but he’s a professional paranormal investigator, not a fake. The guys have always had Aaron go into the scariest places first or alone. As a paranormal researcher and investigator, I know that when a voice is heard in the woods (and the woods are 100% locked down with security) we have to get out and figure out where it came from and if someone got in. Why did you even mention that? Zac, Aaron, Billy and Jay are great investigators. Nick is too. Give them a break and stop making up problems that don’t exist. http://www.supernaturalboston.com
Zac rocks and it’s real nobody will watch Nick’s show trust me!
As a fan since the very first episode of GA, I have got to say you either love the show or hate the show. I love Nick and would lick his face off because he is so perfect! But back to my point, the show wouldn’t be what it is now without Zack’s lead, Aaron’s sense of humor and Nicks sexy face licking looks and brains! Laugh out loud! sorry I just can’t get over how handsome he is but don’t lose me here.
Nick leaving does not break the show for a true GA fan.
Of course Nick cares about ratings! He’s in show business and for the true fans, ratings need to stay high if we want our seasons continuing.
Keep up the amazing work Zack, Aaron, Billie and crew! You guys are killing it! It’s very refreshing! Although My sexy face is gone, you guys continue to pull through!
P.S,
The young medium you featured at the sallie house was on point and I’d love to see more of her!!
Love you Zack and Aaron:*
Hahaha, he certainly is handsome!
I also agree with your comment about the young woman. She was on an episode of Psychic Kids a few years back with Chip Coffey. I enjoyed that show and it’s nice when we see updates on what they are doing.
You guys have hit the nail right on the head with all of the comments about Zak. All he cares about is his ratings. When I watched the very first episode I was wowed and completely sucked in. I thought (in season 9 and 10) Zak has become the one who is scared and puts Aron and Nick in first. All of the EVP’s (that Aron said were fake) sounded fake. Some of the sounds I couldn’t hear and some of the figures I couldn’t make out. If you haven’t whatched “the bell witch” episode see it now!!! In that episode there is a time where all of the poles start lighting up!! The only reason they should be lighting up is if there is a spirit. The fact that they all light up is tots fake. I still will always like Nick, Aron, and Zak and I wish u all luck!
Hear hear. Show has changed a lot. Zak is super bossy and the 2 guys who do av are now investigating? Not Jay but the other guy is a kiss ass with Zak. Nick is missed big time.
I do agree with that they are asking for ass kissers an have you seen aftershock there’s like a boring ass movie that’s really boring Zac is not doing a real good job of this I’m going to stop watching it he doesn’t have my vote
There are so many other paranormal teams collecting more compelling evidence and/or investigating unique locations. Wished they would get a chance.
You said it all! I’ve always thought Zak to be self centered, attention seeking, and annoying. It’s mind blowing watching one of the crew members find some evidence only to hear Zak’s big mouth telling them to shhh or shut up because he being possessed (I’ve never seen a person become possessed as much as zak) He’s totally Narcissistic.
I believe Nick is a true professional and noticed at times he seemed to be intuitive or have a little more insight then most others. Maybe he has a gift. I wish him lots of good luck
While GA used to use provocation to bring out spirits and have been told by true professionals how wrong that is. Zak now claims he wants to help lost spirits. Well, there’s been many opportunities when a disembodied voice says help, but all he does is yell “Oh My God, did you hear that” he really is nauseating
I feel the same.
I also feel as though Zak does more drinking and fucking around than he does actually trying to find anything.
And also seems a little desperate when there is any kind of woman involved. He always flirts with them and it seems like he’s more interested in trying to get laid than doing much else.
Boring, is right! I gave-up on it at least 3 years ago. The “alpha male” just became insufferable, and, back then, the “haunted” sites seemed more about HIS being STAR-STRUCK and impressed with only HIMSELF. Nick and Aaron became only “whisps of smoke”. Why needs being a backdrop for a vain peacock?
Wow, people, really? Zac has always been an egotistical jerk. I knew him when I lived in Vegas. He zoomed around town in his little James Bond Aston Martin and dated strippers, an old friend of mine being one of them…He’s a fake. No one ever gets as many EVP’s as Zac does, or video of spectral apparitions. It’s written, rehearsed, staged and fake as hell. I’m so glad for Nick for venturing out on his own and bringing some credence to himself, he’s a genuine guy, a real class act and he wasted his time being stultified by Zac’s BS. Only wish Aaron would see the light and ditch Zac as well. And the idea that Amy Allen join Zac and call him out a s a fake is genius!! Kudo’s for that, so wish that would happen. It’s like Ghost Hunters alumni finally speaking out on Jason Hawes’ BS. A real paranormal reality show can go forever without capturing anything. Zac scores all the time. Wake up to the Fake up, my friends.
The problem and inconsistency here is, how do we know how many investigations they do and DON’T air them because of lack of evidence/potential for ratings?
And since when has being a shitty person or a jerk made your credibility go out the window? Yeah, he’s got an ego. We all do. If you try to deny it, that’s your ego talking, trying to be the one who’s right. I for one have seen a number of episodes get next to nothing, and the show went on. Furthermore, I never saw him really act that aggressively douchey toward anyone. I don’t see where all this hate is coming from.
Honestly, sounds more like someone lashing out at anger because of something that might have happened between said investigator and your supposed stripper friend.
It would be interesting to know the number of investigation they do and which ones are weeded from production. From my experience, our investigations are either hot with activity, totally silent, or somewhere in between where we would return to see if we could capture additional evidence. I am tired of seeing the same ole same ole places on every paranormal show.
I agree that just because someone has an ego, doesn’t throw their credibility out the window. Great, he has an ego… So do most of the guys I know in South Florida, and Zak seems to be a lot nicer then these guys are. To me, I wouldn’t have even started watching the show if it wasn’t for Zak…
OMG, I can totally see him being that kind of person, what a jerk. I am so NOT SURPRISED by the fact that he dates strippers and zooms around town in a sports car, he’s just the type of arrogant pr!!ck that I would expect would have a shallow, empty lifestyle like his. You’re so right about him being a fake, too. Ugh, just makes me sick!!
I think the trio were great together, they complimented each other. I love Zack’s serious nature , Nick’s caring, understanding nature and Aaron’ s great sense of humor. The last 2 shows had nick on them, didn’t give him much attention, but he was there. What’s up with that? Is he back?
To say the show is fake is one thing,, To say zack is fake is another!!
Your telling me the EVPs are fake?? then Nick and Aaron are fake too!!
Excellent distinction. Rhetorical fallacies abound.
Amy Allen seems very bizarre. I can’t really believe her, and having her verify Ghost Adventures would make many people laugh. Lets leave it at “I’d never let her babysit my kids”–but Nick Groff could”!
.
If you ever get the chance to see Amy Allen in person, do. That may help. She was very relatable at Scarefest. I enjoyed her Q & A. I think something gets lost in the TV translation. But…I appreciate your comments! Thanks for reading.
She would scare your baby to death with those messed up facial expressions she makes. Whats up wpith that ?
I would not let Amy in my house!! She would see a lone ant and tell us it is a freakazoid from hell. 7 feet tall, with 5 eyes and a bag of worms for lunch. Lois
Its sad to see Nick go from GAC. I love the show even though I do question the credibility. I remember them taking fans onto the show once and ever since then I’ve wanted to do that to test the credibility myself. GAC is still good and hopefully Nick’s show does well!
Hadn’t watched the show in a while. Was kind of wondering what happened when I saw a few recent episodes. Thanks for the information.
You’re very welcome. There’s a lot of people who follow the show and like to know about changes. I hope you keep reading more of my blogs.
I will. Had to give the show a break because it started to get to me. I was jumping at shadows like crazy watching it around the clock.
sad to see fame ruin peoples relationships to bad love gac still do but will miss seeing nick man that’s f;d up!!!!!
I miss Nick. For me he was the real star. He never exaggerated. He was never a girl like Aaron or a scarey cat like Zac, “Aaron you go in there”. Lol. What a baby Zac is. Billy is a stronger person than Zac he steps up to the plate. I still get a kick out of the show cause it’s more drama than Ghost Hunters ( boring). You go Nick. I am watching your new show. How about a cameo? Would love to see you, and your wife can rest assured now that you will not be bringing something home. Best of luck. I miss you.
Love you Zak, I think you and Susan Slaughter should team up! From GHI, a great team and good to watch, both of you are special x
I want to know where all this hate is coming from? Nick and Zak Co-founded GA. I don’t believe the rumors that Nick was fired. He is doing ghost tours now. I think he left on his own. This was planned for a while. What ever real season is it’s between the GAC. Changes happen people move on. I not gonna judge someone based what I see on a tv show. And just assume that some one is jerk or arrogant. Zak is just passionate about he does. they’re brave for what they do. I did read some where that after lockdowns they talk to each other is little a possible other wise they will snap at one other.
I just hope GAC doesn’t become like Ghost Hunters, with its revolving door cast and people coming on for two or three episodes and then inexplicably disappearing.
If the last 2 weeks are new episodes, then why is nick still in them. The first new episode this season was the only one he wasn’t in? Is he back or are the “new” episodes not so new?
think The Travel Channel tried to pull a fast one again. I started watching the past two weeks and it felt like I had see them before. I have direct Tv so it shows original air date. The air dates were for Saturday 2/7/15 and 2/14/15. I did some research and even though Zac has facial hair they are old shows. This past week as the show played a commercial for Ghost Adventures came on. In this ad it stated “All new Ghost Adventures starting next week.” Now evry year they pull this. They start off a new season and show one or two shows. If there is any kind of a holiday or it seems a burp and they put old shows on and it seems to take forever to get the new season started again. Another thing is seasons in the past there were a lot more episodes that the past three or four. If they want to keep the fan base and shw us all that there are no tricks the last thing they should be doing is staling on showing new shows. Just my two cents…
Thanks for your input. I was thinking maybe ZAK dearly wishes for the return of Nick, he seems antsy and grim without him. Billy is no stand in for Nick and I am positive Zak knows it. I really feel Zak needs him back on many levels. Who knows maybe at some future date he will be there again. I HOPE!!.
They were’t new. It was the re airing of the Halloween special. Which aired on halloween. This Saturday’s episode is new.
Seeing Nick in a ‘new’ GA confused me, too; had it all been a ratings stunt? But then I recognized the funny line where Aaron says,”Hello….I’m Aaron….you might remember me, we were here a couple years ago…..” and Zac snaps,”Aaron, they’re demons, not an old lady making us pie”! Lines like that are why I’ll stick with GAC no matter what. Sadly, I don’t get Nick’s Destination American channel. I wish cable came a la cart; I get a bunch of sports channels and obese Baptist ministers sweating in polyester that I’ll never use.
They did last year with the Transylvania Halloween show too and if you don’t like the new episodes watch the old. There’s like what a hundred and something and hell how will anyone miss Nick Zac was always stealing his thunder it’s the show.But it’s very dramatic and big budget movie openings now like at Texas terror hotel Thus here boys is what I like to call the Loftus Hall of Texas and a gas degas detector that.They were farting and laughing cause it detecting it hey I know stop watching but hey what can I say like Mr Kevin Smith said.Fart and pecker joke movies are awesome and check that’s what the show is now it’s like. Jay and silent Bob met the ghost adventures Snoogins
No matter who is or is not on the show I find myself watching what they claim to be a new episode and thinking to myself, “Haven’t I seen this episode before? This cannot be new. Perhaps I read the tv guide incorrectly…nope, it shows it is supposed to be a new episode. How many times are they going to investigate the same small handful of locations and simply reuse clips from shows in the past? Hmmm…….”.
I have sat quietly and have read the many input alot of you people have posted here; I find most of them intruiging with many spot on! What I am about to say is only my opinion and it doesn’t make me right; and it may very well may not make me wrong as well; every show or whatever it may be; muscians do the same thing when they sign a big record contract; there is an agreement that so many songs or albums or in this case how many episodes a particular show is agreeing to do for the particular station that signs them.
As far as the scheduling for these shows; if I am not mistaken that is the responsibility of the; and I’ll use the Travel Channel as an example. They figure out how they are lining up a schedule for TV; and of course the ratings of the show has alot to do with that!
If a station expects 8 weeks of new episodes, and only 6 episodes are made; then there are two weeks that have to be filled, so how do they do that? Obviously, worst case scenario….”reruns” but they have to fill in that gap.
How many lockdowns do you think GAC really do? I can tell you it isn’t just one; what if they go to a location and absolutely nothing happens?
Well, the travel channel surely doesn’t want to aire an episode where nothing happened? They are looking at nothing but ratings……that’s what they see, just like a big corporations sees nothing but bottom line dollar!!!!!!!
Look at the show “The Haunting” true life experiences, but even that station will go to the lengths of dramatizing a particular event to keep us the fans interested in watching that particular showing; everyone does it; so quit critizing whether events you are watching is real or not? The station want dramatization…it’s as simple as that!
We sit and watch one hour of the Ghost Adventures; where the crew may take 8 maybe 10 to 12 hours of filming on one location. And perhaps they go to another location two days later and then another….we don’t really know, but rest assured, these guys are filming their butts off. This is not easy work and that’s why they get paid to do what they do!!!!!!
As far as the fans go; we do have the right to know what goes on beyond the scenes such as with the departure of Nick. I surely have no interest if Zak dates strippers or not; that does not make a person’s character and I thought that was tacky as far as who put that out there; that does not mean anything to me; in fact kudos to Zak if he does! If we devote 1 hour, 2 hours, maybe as much as 4 hours an evening to pick up the remote and tune into the Ghost Adventures, then we give that show our vote of confidence and that is why Zak, Nick, Aaron, Billie, and Jay live the lifestyle they live, drive the cars they drive and make the money they make!
And when they flash their personal lives on social media; then there can be no bitching about “My private life!” You gave that up for the fame, and if one does not like that then I suggest you give up the paycheck and go back to the private world you desire…….yeah….pack a big lunch on that one!
Zak is an aggrogant and egotiscal individual….but I don’t care, he is good at what he does; I would love to see him sharpen his leadership skills if he wants to claim to be the leader…perhaps grow up a little; but make no bones about it….he’s awesome at what he does.
Nick is very level headed and he was the one who kept Zak in check. Nick also is vital because he brings something to the show as well.
Aaron, he’s a goof-ball, he’s funny and we may not like the way Zak may treat him, but Aaron be the true trooper he is, keeps doing what he is told and it seems when he does go off on his own, the spirits or demons seem to be attracted to him. He also brings something valuable to the show, and that is what makes these three guys so amazing and why they are doing so well. Believe me, Aaron could care less how he gets treated; I’m sure he laughs all the way to the bank to cash that check!
I truly believe Nick will return at some point, the guys will let the ego’s go; sit down at some point and hash out their differences and rejoin the way it should be.
All I ask of Zak is you keep Billie and Jay in the opening credits of the show and make them more visible; they too add value to the show.
And Zak, if you want to be the leader of the GAC, then add Billie and Jay; and now you have four guys you are in charge of instead of two; big difference!
Despite all of the negatives we can conjure up and complain about, this has been such an awesome concept and kudos to all five of these guys for putting this on live TV!
Just remember where you came from and how you got to where you are at; your fans are the most important aspect of your success; we tend to allow our egos to forget that!
As they say, time has a way of healing bad wounds!
I wonder if under the circumstances it would be beneficial for GA and its audiences if Nick came on for guest appearances ( at a BIG paycheck) It would sure keep their numbers up!
They film about 10 to 12 hrs at one location sometimes 2 in one night. check out aaron’s vlogs on YT. he films behind the scenes stuff. and sometimes it’s back to back places. but mostly filming is every other week. I do read their tweets, where people have asked them about filming. They do work their butts off! Billy and Jay are good too. The haters have nothing better to do than pick on successful people.
it’s they don’t want them to have money. if you don’t like a show don’t watch it.
they do a great job a debunking stuff.
I agree 100% with you. I love the show.
My brothers been one one location on the east cost… Said they worked their asses off and it’s not like other shows where the “main stars” show up just for the investigation- these guys show up 3-4 days in advance getting their b-toll (pardon my spellinWelcome to Disqus, MGySgt “JD” (CSO)!g. Auto correct is a … A pain in the ass on a kindle) so they show up 3 days early and do EMF readings – look at house blueprints and use the locals )not actors) for their pre lock down… They do their interviews and make shire (as they can) to get the real history of the place, then if their not shooting a dialog I’ve heard their all really down to earth guys – even Zac. All of e’m will talk to the people who work on the premises their investigating and show anyone their equipment and evidence.
Now I have a friend here in California who was working at a strip club up in San Francisco ( I’m a Marine, I wouldn’t dare to occupy a strip club ; )
and again ) this was before my brothers meeting with e’m- he said the same exact stuff my bro eventually said… Skeptics Both… Then- not now… So, to those who hate the show, don’t watch it, to those who think it’s fake- find out where their filming and see for yourself… After the 3 days and having their base set up, the boom Mic’d set up and the cameras set up- They really do get locked in- even having a pre building inspection right before they go in with security surrounding the building. They are as legit as they come. AaRon, Zac, Billy, Jay, & Nick I mention Nick ’cause he was there when my brother and my friend saw everything they did. Remember .. They don’t hide their evidence from the people who work there and the people lurking there ( also I include snick because he’ll always be apart of the show and really needs to just go back )
Lastly ( if my long ass explanation… Remember that Aaron, Zac & Nick are ALL Aries men- I am too.., we tend not to get along with each other… That’s a real huge fact- I’m surprised they stayed together that long. We Aries are um… Difficult – so this ends my long post… Oh after the filming of those 2 shows my friend and my brother both believe in the spirit world – my opinion ( if anyone’s still reading this ) is to cut them all a little slack -things in life change- I do wish Nick would go back but I’m gonna watch the show anyways ( for anyone who thinks the show is faked- watch the “Seattle Demon House” where the whole ep is debunked pretty much
Ok,
Cheers
Yes, life does change. Hey, wait, I’m an Aries and I’m A-ok. Lol.
Well said. Have you read zak’s new book? Great read. He talks about how they flim the show. And some of his experiences. He also talks about the haters.
No, haven’t read the book. But I’ve heard enough of the BS from the haters – from that fictional satirical “empire news” that so many people seem to believe ( Cause you just Have to believe everything you read on the internet ) I love the “empire news”disclaimer in fine print that their “Stories Are Satirical” ( meaning fake ) like they said when they wrote Jimmy Fallon was getting “fired” from the tonight show back in March..ok
So I know the haters will hate, out of envy and jealousy-cant change their minds or reason with them- it’s pointless.
I know personally how they investigate and how truly thorough they are ( my brother and a friend of mine both worked at two places they investigated and Both were extremely unbreakable skeptics, Now their not.
With or without Nick the show will go on & stay on- I do wish he was back but if not, oh well. The new season 11 starts on Aug.22nd.
I wish people realized that all TV Shows have seasons and
and a new episode can’t happen every Saturday of the year. That’s why they have aftershocks &.extra pulses episodes to fill in the time wile.there shooting their new season….
But like mentioned above, the haters will.hate and the jealous will.be jealous, & the skeptical will be skeptics until they see for themselves
I wonder if under the circumstances it would be beneficial for GA and its audiences if Nick came on for guest appearances ( at a BIG paycheck) It would sure keep their numbers up!
Hi bro my name is andre im.a big fan i want do be a part of ghost aventura creww plz call me at 585-483-2910
Andre, you don’t want to be on this show. And putting your phone number out there for anyone to have is foolish. Reality check time.
Not going to bash anyone… The 3 of GA were like pieces in a puzzle.. they all had a quality that fit into one fun and great show… Good luck to Nick…I will check out Ghost Stalkers … Zak is Zak… I personally don’t follow their private lives.. none of my business.. Just hope they keep up the great work they do on the show… As for people making fun of Amy Allen… she seems to be a very sweet and compassionate lady and I enjoy her show. If she ever came to my area would love to sit in on one of her seminars… GH also.. they all bring something to the table …
I like Amy. Dead Files was just renewed for another season. She and Steve are filming now until July. I thoroughly enjoyed listening to hear her speak. Highly recommend!
Has anyone else actually watched Ghost Stalker’s? I’ve not once seen Nick and he’s the only reason I watched it. Is boring.
Nick wasn’t supposed to be on. He was the Executive Producer. If you get the opportunity, check on John Tenney’s Weird Lectures Website, http://weirdlectures.com/. He has some interesting discussions.
Amy Allen is great! And I still like GA
They aired an episode last week were they investigated a house in Seattle where they were reports of demons. the story it self was interesting. even the guys had their doubts.in that episode they got nothing. just proves they take their work seriously. and GA has been renewed for 2 more seasons.
I guess we got a partial answer to what happens when they get no evidence from that episode. It was pretty obvious it was being faked. It was almost painful to watch, in a way. I also am not liking the increase in blood and Gore to the reenactment scenes. It’s not adding any value to the show and actually takes the show down a bit.
THEYRE ALL FAKE! come on folks.
Love GAC. Personal lives are none of our business. I love all the new equipment that this show brings to the field of paranormal investigation. GH is so behind the paranormal technology field. That show doesn’t catch stuff cause they’re so behind GAC as far trying new equipment and new ways of catching ghosts voices . Zak keep it real. Remember your roots guy. Friends are what matter. Not ratings. This too shall pass.
All these shows are faked people. Grow up. Ghosts aren’t real. You’re just uneducated and looking for some answer, which is fine, but don’t be stupid. You live, you die. Nothing else. You’re worm food. Ghosts don’t exist. It’s all fake. Enjoy it for what it is. Entertainment.
While I agree that the TV “reality” shows are not entirely truthful, I do respectfully disagree on whether ghosts are real. But, those are my opinions.
Unless you have had or known someone that has had any kind of experience as I have, to say Ghosts do not exsit should not be stated. I not only saw what life looks like hours and minutes before death, I have had proof of afterlife many times. Things have happened in my life that there is no human explaination. Everyone is entitled to their own thoughts but, remember that also means people that believe have the same rights. Television shows weather fake or real are just that Tv shows. Although many of the people that are in these shows may be the real deal “Mediums” etc.. These people have no control over what the production staff does with what findings may or may not be found. If you look up Bios on the Ghost Adventures crew everyone says “Actor” does that mean they are play acting. Really only they and those that are close to them know for sure. Is everyone out there “FAKE”. I whould have to say No only because I know a few in the field that really study the afterlife and the effects. Even science cannot explain every single thing that has happend and there for it is put in “The Unexplained File”.
Unexplained phenomena exists. It makes life interesting. For some of us, it gives us something to pursue.
I agree with you 100% Haunted Librarian. 🙂
Really? Ghosts aren’t real? OK. You know, I can’t help but wonder if the ones who believe they are simply worm food when they die will be exactly that. Why should you have life after death if you don’t believe in it?
I love GA. Don’t care about ego’s. Most people are egotistical in some way, some just more than others. As to it being fake, some people prefer it be proven that it’s real, I’m one of those that you would have to prove it to be fake. My preference. Good luck to Nick, it won’t be the same without you.
Personally, I don’t want to believe I’ll be worm food. Heard another great theory at Through the Veil by Larry Flaxman. I’ll keep searching.
Well, Donald… 10 out of 10 people die…. we will all meet our Maker, so to speak… depending on you age, or the guy driving behind you spills his coffee on his lap, as you stop at a red light, and he doesn’t see it and plows into you…. well, I hope you see what I’m trying to say.
Question: Do You Know For An Absolute Fact What Happens Whan You Die? Because You Will Die, like all the rest of us. Now, Do You Absolutely, Know What Is Going To Happen When YOU Die?
Do You Have 100% Proof That The Spirit of A Person Ends? Do You Really Know?
I’m not being snarky here, I’m asking you an honest question…
So, Are You Truthfully, Absolutely-Positively-Certain that there is no life after death?
I’m not talking about TV Shows, or Paranormal Investqgators, Or Ghosts, I’m asking YOU – Donald – are You 100% Sure?
Because, Like me and everyone in the Whole Wide World Today, all Seven Billion + of us ( including those born today ) will all be dead within at MOST 116 years…
So you say there is no life after death… How Do You Absolutely Know?
With warm regards to your afterlife, lack of it in the near future

I used to think that ghosts weren’t real until my experience, and now I believe in them totally. Not every GA show has the best evidence, but there are a few. I mostly watch for the entertainment value and the interesting history of the places. I have then been to a few of them myself and really get interesting stuff. My most interesting stay was at Death Valley Junction so far. And I work at a Haunted Mental Hospital also, so I don’t need the show for a total experience, and I watch knowing there will be some staged things but it’s not faked!
I too had the thought today, even if I didn’t watch for the ghost hunting, they go to some interesting historical places I’d not otherwise have ever heard of or probably learned about on my own.
I used to enjoy the show but I noticed Zak’s ego taking over more and more as the show became more popular. He just isn’t the same person any longer. Me saying this had nothing to do with Nick leaving, as I really don’t care who comes or goes. I will no longer be watching. Zak’s arrogance , bossiness, and over dramatic attitude is extremely annoying. Unfortunately, this is another example of a nobody becoming somebody and can’t stay true as to who they are.
Thanks for your comments.
It’s too bad Nick left. He seemed the brightest of the three. I’m not a fan of Zak, but he is good for a laugh with his over dramatic ways. He is a total narcissist and I’m SO tired of him going straight to DEMONS!!! at every turn. Another thing that irritates me (in addition to his wardrobe Le Douche) is him stomping and clomping around in stupid combat boots. You would think a seasoned investigator would put quiet over self perceived “style”. On an up note, the nose job was a good call. Egotistical, but looks better for TV. GAC pretends to do their “research” but the Exorcist House was just too much. I get it…it’s a TV show and they need ratings and locations that hook viewers, but don’t insult us. It’s common knowledge the exorcism didn’t take place in the house. The boy was hospitalized and the exorcism took place there at the hospital over a period of about a month. I know it’s all about entertainment, but give viewers some semblance of credibility if you are really trying to prove paranormal activity.
Unfortunately, it is about entertainment. Little research. Thanks for the comments.
Ah, yeah, I found the ghosts always turning out to be demons annoying. I watch a lot of shows and in the beginning it wasn’t like that for GAC. Paranormal Witness used to do what I thought were justs ghosts, then somewhere along the lines they all turn out to be demons now as well. In every episode of Paranormal State, they too are demons (though Ryan Buell is annoying and I won’t watch anymore due to him). I cannot believe it’s ALWAYS demons (or “evil” spirits) and not sometimes just ghosts/disembodied humans… but with these shows that’s where it seems to be heading now for some reason.
Hello haunted librarian ladie. The show is good always has been whether be zak , nick or Arron all three together made the showwhat it is. I personally can care less if the routine haters of the internet don’t like Zak or think ghosts don’t exist
Yet their watching the show and defending nick how self centered of them hint hint. Either way nick there or gone I’m still gonna watch gac and all other ghost shows so what’s the difference if u don’t like or believe don’t watch or comment.
True, if I don’t like something, I turn the channel. I think there is a difference between skeptics and the hater skeptics. The haters are trolling for venues to post. I don’t take them personally–only the couple who threatened me. Thanks for sharing!
hey hunting ghost dont last forever and when you have spirits cling to you when you go home is worse and nick has a daughter now,a family.he is smart for leaving the team so his whole family is not tortured at home.zak can be a jerk and needs to change the attitude.i think because he started the show is why he is like that.but your friends should come first,not fame and money.and aaron i just love aaron he is such a good guy and smart.from what i have seen aaron is being dragged into a life of hunting ghost and talking to them.when he knows in his heart he should not.they are all good guys but i think they should give up the ghost hunting before its to late.
I agree about friends coming first. Investigations can quickly turn and attachments are real. True, ghost hunting does not last forever.
I’ve seen the new episodes and I don’t see any difference in Zak’s ego since season 1. Before saying something like that you have to remember the dude is on camera and he has to be confident and maybe slightly cocky. I’ve never been a host on a show but I know it requires confidence. As for the person saying they knew Zak, I doubt you really did, this is the internet and anyone behind a screen can say they knew him. All I know is I want to see more investigating and less dramatizations of the events that happened at the location.
I would love to see more investigating and less re-enactments. Thanks for sharing.
I have watched Ghost Stalkers and it is the worst show I have ever seen. My grandson loves all these ghost shows and he wouldn’t even watch it. He said that has to be taken off the TV its awful!
Am I the ONLY ONE, out there, who watches these things NOT, to be entertained but INFORMED, EDUCATED AND ENLIGHTENED?!
Honestly, I don’t care about being glued to my seat by some fake drama for ratings sake. This proves nothing and brings us no where near the TRUTH, and finding ANSWERS, as the Ghost Adventures grew and cast claim. If that is what everyone wants then go and watch some silly, dumb, stupid, ghost movies, where they don’t care WHAT, they portray or whether it’s truthful or accurate or not.
Personally; I want something MORE, and I’m not entirely sure Ghost Adventures or ANY, of these shows, offer this.
I guess the ONLY, way to find some answers and to have a TRULY, paranormal experience, is to go out and DO IT YOURSELF.
I tell you one thing; I’ll be a hell of a lot more respectful than most of these fools seem to be, and WON’T, over react for melodrama sake, when I get the VERY THING I ASK FOR, as virtually all of them do on these shows.
To be honest with you; I don’t see why any self respecting Disembodied Spirit would even bother. I know I wouldn’t once I see or sense or what have you, how most of these twits react and behave.
Now, please do not attack my comment as is done all the time over YouTube. Thank You.
Love and Best.
Out For Now.
PS: Been watching all the latest shows, and I’m not sure what any of this is about, as all three of the original cast members seem to STILL, be there and VERY MUCH, involved with the show.
Love and Best. Out.
No, it’s only 2 original cast members, Zak and Aaron, with 2 additions: Jay and Billy. Hard to differentiate since Travel runs continually on most Saturdays.
Thanks for your comments. No attacking from me. I agree; they should be more respectful. There are some new shows on the horizon with a major entry into cable TV coming June 15. I’ll be blogging about it in the near future.
Thanks for your reply, HL.
Never know whether I should reply to these things or not. I was not expecting any type of attack from you, yourself, but this has happened before from comments of mine, concerning these things, over YouTube. Very personal, vicious, attacks, to be honest with you, which have been completely, unjustified and unwarranted. And sadly, seeing as YouTube seems to be unwilling to deal with this sort of thing, these people get away with this.
Sad. Very sad, indeed. And does nothing to increase our understanding of these things. As one should be able to differ on any topic and not feel as though they will be at risk of being verbally, personally, attacked.
I truly, feel no desire to be ENTERTAINED, by these programs. As that is not my intent in checking these things out. I truly, want to KNOW, and UNDERSTAND, what ACTUALLY, HAPPENS, when we pass from this physical, material, plane of existence. And being ENTERTAINED, has NOTHING, to do with it, for me.
And it seems, this is where I may differ from the greater majority of people who watch these programs. And it is from THIS, perspective that I post my comments, whenever I feel the need to do so.
As I am not dedicated to any SHOW, as such, or any HOST / so called INVESTIGATOR, but to the IDEA or CONCEPT, in general. That being; we exist as SPIRIT, in our TRUE, PURE, form, and CONTINUE ON, PAST, physical, material, life. And will be loyal and dedicated to ANY, show and ANY, host/investigator who seeks to research this PROPERLY, THROURGHLY and RESPECTFULLY. Which I’m not entirely, sure that Ghost Adventures – like most of the rest – despite their claims; always, entirely, tries to do. Or else, we would not be witnessed to so much of this silly, melodrama, which they put on from week to week and show to show, PURELY, for ratings sake, it seems.
I mean honestly; does ANY, Disembodied Spirit even, CARE, about such a thing, if they are INDEED, attempting to communicate with the Realm of the Physical/Material for WHATEVER, reason?! I highly, doubt it. All the more so if they passed on hundreds of years ago, and may have DO IDEA, what in the heck, all that is about anyway!
Please tell me how THIS, shows RESPECT, for these Spirits, when these so called, “INVESTIGATORS” carry this way? I mean, would YOU, want to COMMUNICATE, with someone who freaks out at any and every SIGN, of your Communication, and simply, makes one hell of a HOLY, SHOW, out of the whole thing?! Honestly, I highly, doubt it. Not if you are AS, self respecting in DEATH – so called death – as you were in LIFE. I certainly, know that I WOULD NOT, that’s for sure.
Does that not make ANY, sense to anybody here?!
I guess, there is nothing wrong with being a fan of this or any other show of a similar nature. But please, do not attack and degrade those who seek out such material for ENLIGHTENMENT, and KNOWLEDGE, sake rather than for the sake of being titillated and entertained, as so many others, seem to. And post a comment expressing their disappointment, when these shows do not measure up as one would prefer or expect.
To be honest with you, I’m not sure WHERE, to look to get the answers I need to questions I may NEVER, FIND, answers to, until the time comes when I, cross over MYSELF. As clearly, virtually, all these shows DO NOT and WILL NOT, EVER, it seems, PROVIDE, such answers. Not if they are concerned with ENTERTAINMENT and RATINGS, first and foremost. And if that is ALL, the viewing audience seems to want.
Because as HL, has already stated; we may discredit the validity of many of these shows and those who, supposedly, “INVESTIGATE,” them, but we CANNOT, as of this point in time; and MAY NEVER, be ABLE, to DISCREDIT, the very DISTINCT, possibility that Ghost/Spirit – as that is what WE ARE, in our true, pure, form, anyway – EXIST, BEYOND, Physical Death, and WITHIN, A or MANY, ALTERNATE, Realms or Planes of Existence BEYOND, THIS ONE.
Simply because current, modern day Science SAYS, this is NOT, so, does NOT, AUTOMATICALLY, MAKE IT SO. As Science as it currently, stands, at it’s current, level of Evolution, cannot either PROVE OR DISPROVE, this very, distinct possibility. So we are left with seeking out answers in OTHER, areas. SUCH AS, Paranormal Research.
But to ADD, to the VALIDITY, of this research, the Researchers or Investigators THEMSELVES, have to BEHAVE, AS, Professionally, Respectfully and Thoroughly AS, the Cold, Hard SCIENTIST, who seek so vehemently, to DISCREDIT, any and all Paranormal Research. They cannot and should not, for entertainment and ratings sake, ACT UP, or FAKE, ANY PART, of their research. As this does nothing to find the TRUTH, of the mater, and only serves to make a SHAM, and HOLY, SHOW, out of the whole, darn, thing.
Does anybody not get any of this, at all? Does any of this not make ANY, sense to you?
For what it is worth; I’m also a firm believer in Extra Terrestrial Life, and as of yet, Undiscovered Life on This Planet, and feel EXACTLY THE SAME, about how THAT, research should be conducted.
Because if you are truly seeking ANSWERS, and not concerned at all, about being ENTERTAINED, then that is the ONLY, way you CAN, do your research. Does everyone understand what I’m getting at here? I certainly, hope so.
Too bad, so called “Reality Television” has HIJACKED, EVERYTHING, it seems. As it is only serving to confuse us more and to put us even further in the dark, and DISCONNECTING, us from VITALY, IMPORTANT, information that would otherwise help us to ADVANCE and EVOLVE, both Individually and As a Species as a Whole. In the end, entertaining or not; it is doing a terrible, terrible, horrible, DISERVICE, to ALL OF US. And NON of us are coming out of it any BETTER or any WISER, for it. And that is a virtual, crime along with being a terrible, crying, shame.
Love and Best.
Out For Now.
Those of us who have actually seen a ghost will never need proof… It is pretty obvious that in some cases…there is a lingering. Bagans group should take a positive serious approach…grow up and attempt to bring something to us rather than the dark side…which they take perverse pleasure in doing. They are doing more harm than good in stirring up that aspect.
75% of people believe, with nearly half stating that they have experienced something the cannot explain. I agree; when you see a ghost, you know it. And you never forget. I, too, would like more positive paranormal shows. Thanks for commenting!
Have you read the book Unbelievable: Investigations into Ghosts, Poltergeists, Telepathy, and Other Unseen Phenomena, from the Duke Parapsychology Laboratory? I would like to see a major college or university open a lab similar to what was at Duke. You’re right. Research must return in earnest. Without it, nothing truly gets answered. So many people earn for knowledge in this area.
If you enjoy this type of show watch it. If you don’t, turn the channel.
I feel the same about political commercials. But we don’t need to go down that rabbit hole. lol. Yes, if you don’t enjoy the show, switch the channel. I’m blogging about a new cable channel debuting June 15th. Be on the look out!
I won’t say much here, as I think I’ve probably, hopefully, explained myself well enough already, but I would add to that HL, concerning Karen’s comment –
Change the channel to WHAT, exactly, when all these shows seem to be pretty much the same.
What I found from the fans of Ghost Adventures is that, any negative comment concerning the show itself, seems to have been taken as some type of personal, attack toward THEM, PERSONALLY. Thus they would reply, likewise, in turn. And far worse.
What the fans of these shows don’t SEEM, to understand is that those of us who are genuinely, interested in the Paranormal Itself, and who REALLY, want answers to these things; don’t NEED, to be titillated or entertained. As that is NOT, why we check in.
Since posting my comment earlier, I watched an episode of both “The Dead Files” and “Ghost Adventures,” earlier tonight, and as usual, was left with mixed feelings concerning both. As I usually, tend to get from watching nearly all shows of this type.
Those who watch these shows purely and only to be entertained will, undoubtedly, be satisfied that the show has met that objective. But those of us who check in to these shows to be enlightened, educated and to find answers that we are desperately seeking answers to; and who stop and scrutinize and analyze everything which is being presented; and all the more so if we have done any independent research into the Spiritual New Age or the Paranormal In General, and have developed, at least, SOME, awareness of it’s possibilities; invariably, leave these shows quite, dissatisfied, indeed.
For example; I have read from many channeled sources – which I take AS, seriously as anything else I read – that WHEN, we LEAVE, our Bodies AS, Spirit – which we ARE, ANYWAY, in our True, Pure, Form – Spirit being nothing more than a TYPE, of ENERGY, which Science CAN, detect – we are AWARE of INFINATELY MORE, than we could EVER, be aware of WHILE, in flesh. As CONSCIOUSNESS ITSELF, is no longer CONFINED, by the Body and Physical Brain, which It USED, as Its MEDIUM, WHILE, in flesh.
On top of that; we are actually Spirit/Souls who are on an Endless, EVOLVING, Journey. When we leave our physical, material, bodies – the shells or husks we INHABITED, for whatever x number of years we existed IN, flesh – we then, typically, usually, ADVANCE or MOVE ON, to whatever REALM or PLANE OF EXISTANCE, We AS Spirit/Ghost have EVOLVED to be ABLE, to Enter Into. That Realm or Dimension to which We As Spirit VIBRATE TOWARD. Basically; Higher, Lighter, Dimensions for those of us who Vibrate at a Higher, Lighter, Level and a more Lower, Denser, Dimension or Dimensions for those of us who Vibrate at a more Lower, Denser, Level.
I’m sure I’m revealing nothing here that HL may not already be aware of.
The immensely, sad and shameful reality is that, because so many of us today, are so utterly and completely DISCONNECTED, from Our SPIRITUAL, Selves, to the point of even Acknowledging that we even HAVE, a Spiritual Self; we are utterly, unaware that we very much CONTROLE, what TYPE, of Afterlife we Enter Into and Experience, by HOW, we Live and Evolve, in the Here and Now.
Anyway; because I have this awareness of how things, quite likely, are AFTER, we pass from this plane of existence; I’m utterly, baffled by all these claims of these CONFUSED, Spirits, who lurk around creating mischief and doing nothing but harm to the living. Something about that does not wring true for me or make sense. Not at all. And when I hear claims of this from all these Paranormal Experts and Investigators I have to wonder WHAT EXACTLY, they are connecting to, OR IF, they are simply, MAKING IT ALL UP, as they go along. One or the other.
Either that, or all this Modern Day, Spiritual New Age, Channeled Material, which expresses a Reality to the Contrary; is nothing more than Delusional, Nonsense and Bull, MADE UP, by people who simply, DON’T KNOW, what the heck THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT. As surely, both realities can’t be true.
And this may be the difference from those of us who watch these things to be Enlightened and to Find Answers, from those who Purely and Solely check in to be Titillated and Entertained.
Does everyone understand what I mean here?
Sorry if I’ve hurt or offended anyone, as that was truly NOT, my intent.
Love and Best. Out.
I totally agree with you. Loid
Haunted Librarian, This new cable channel you mentioned, do you know if it will also be on Satalite? By the way i am sorry as well that Ghost Stalkers did not get picked up. I may have missed it but, what do you think about the show Ghost Asylum?
I don’t have confirmation of satellite availability. It will be on Roku and streaming. I’ll keep you posted when I hear more news.
Ghost Asylum is a quandary for me. I like aspects of it; however, I am opposed to them being the first team to catch a ghost. Seems trite and comical. Why would any team want to catch a ghost? I have problems with that.
Thank you Haunted Librarian. I will as alway’s keep checking with you on and new channels or shows. As far as Ghost Asylum, for me I more or less look at it as entertainment. I agree with you that trying to “Catch” a spirit is silly. I noticed that last season they were going to lesser known places and this season they are going to places everyone has been to. I know people have to make a living but, for some reason when some of these shows come on and you look up Bis they list them as actor and in some cases like a few of the guys on Ghost Asylum really do acting on some movies. So, I guess it bothers me because many claim to be legit but, are they? Are they just acting. I asked Robb Demerest about this and he said production companies usually put the word “Actor” in the bio. I know if I wanted to Ghost Hunt for money I am sure I would need another job unles I had proof of a good track record. I will stick to Ghost Hunting as a hobby and helping others where I can.
Couldn’t agree more, HL. Gather evidence, compile the results and share! The first time I viewed a paranormal show (and it was GA) and saw the investigator jumping around, acting as if his clothes were on fire, I said this is enough for me. If I want entertainment, I’ll wait for the circus to come to town.
I have watched all ghost shows since they first started airing back in the 2000’s. The first I watched was taps,I followed it faithfully every week, every season. I became very bored and disappointed with taps very quickly. They never caught any good evidence. Their show started to grow, but still couldn’t hold my interest. When the first episode of ghost adventures aired,I was hooked from that moment on. I haven’t ever missed an episode and I love to watch marathons of their reruns. What held my interest was the fact the GAC was continually adding new technical equipment to their investigations. They bring in psychics when warranted, and they’ve even had electronic devices specifically built for their show, and I’m not talking about things that can be built in a garage like on ghost asylum. These devices were built by engineers, people with degrees. All and all GAC is still my favorite paranormal show because of the evidence they bring forth and the devices they use that no other show bothers to use, the Xbox connect, the spirit box and the special jacket Zac wears time to time. For me, it will have to be something really special to pull me away from GAC, even with Nick gone. People come and people go, that’s the way t.v.shows work. Looking forward to another great season of GAC! Good luck Nick, wish you well. Zac and Aaron, keep hunting, never stop!!
But we don’t have to choose and make it an either or dilemma. We can more shows on different nights and still be educated, enlightened, and entertained. That way, when one show peters out, another one will be hitting its stride. However, I respect your comments and enjoy your participation!
I don’t think you have to be pulled away from GAC. I don’t think another show would go head-to-head with them for ratings. The other shows are on at different times on different days. It’s not an either or situation. All of the shows can offer something special. The key word being “can.” Thanks for sharing!
Just needing to know when Nicks New Show will be coming on and what channel, I really miss him , I got used to him being on GA so it surprised me when I did not see him on After Shocks, So if anyone has that info please let me know- Thxs
He was the Executive Producer for Ghost Stalkers, which aired on Destination America. To date, it has not been renewed. He started Nick Groff Tour, http://www.nickgrofftour.com/. This probably gives him more family time.
Hey all, I wasn’t sure if anyone else spotted this on Nick’s twitter, so just thought I’d share:
Soon. I’m working on my project now RT @GacFanVenezuela @NickGroff_ Have a good day Bro.. When you see again on television???
Basically, a GAC fan is asking when he’ll be back on t.v. – and I’m optimistically hoping Nick is referring to Ghost Adventures and not Ghost Stalkers (because the project he’s working is Ghost Stalkers, where he normally doesn’t show his face)? What do you guys think?
From the unverified buzz I have heard, Nick will not be returning to GAC. Sorry. 😦
Does Nick still speak with either Zak or Aaron? I’ve noticed he doesn’t follow Zak or Aaron on Twitter and that Zak doesn’t follow Nick. Can’t speak for whom Aaron follows on Twitter – he follows over 400! Couldn’t check a list that long.
Wow! You’ve done your work. Impressive. Honestly, I don’t know the answer. I know that Aaron seems more receptive to the fans and follows more. Kind of like that about him.
Jesus what is wrong with you people who think Nick is awesome Aarons the best and that’s it Nick is the biggest pussy I’ve ever seen in my life “oh my god I’m getting goosebumps, oh my god I’m so dizzy right now, oh my god I feel nauseous” this guy contributes every single pussy reaction he has to ghosts and u can just see the look of contempt on everyone’s face like stfu dude and all u shallow people who like him cus he’s “attractive” simply make me sick I’ve been in places that were haunted I attended one of the most haunted military schools in America and I have seen crazy shit before yet I’ve never became nauseous, lightheaded, dizzy, or assumed that just because I have goosebumps it HAS to be a ghost doing it. Nick sucks and the show is much better off without him and who cares if people think zaks conceited he is and he sucks for it too Aaron is the only one that seems somewhat realistic and down to earth about it. Anyways in a nutshell Nick sucks a big load of horsecocks and I hope he grows a pair of balls and can learn to handle spiritual energies without almost passing out every single time
Also I dont give a shit about my run on sentences I know how to read and write just dont give a shit for comments
Aaron definitely provides comic relief to ease the tension. I mean that in a good way and not him being a goof. It wouldn’t surprise me if Aaron has lots more fans than the producers/public/Travel Channel executives think.
So I’ve been reading a few articles and many comments (not all, so maybe this was covered,) and I’ve seen a lot of “Zak treating Nick awfully”. I knew that Zak never really seemed to treat anyone as great as they should’ve been, but some examples would really be nice. I saw somewhere else that “Nick called zak out” on an episode? Which episode was this and what did he say? Very curious about these things, personally. I’ve always liked the show, but I always knew zak was pretty egotistical. That’s just how he is, sadly. It’s sad to see Nick go, but he’s moving on and as long as they are all happy, then what more can fans ask for, correct? If someone is happy, that’s all that should matter, mainly. As for things being faked…I believe most things on ALL paranormal shows are faked. I am a strong believer of the paranormal, but I do know that TV is TV and they love ratings. ANYWAYS. If someone could provide me some examples about the spats between Nick and zak, that would really clear things up. Maybe we can piece it all together from there, who knows.
I’ve heard several different rumors on what happened. Not that we should know, but fans are always curious. I think it would be fair to say that Nick and Zak are at two different places in their lives. Thanks for adding to the conversation!
Good point about that; it is probably a personal thing for them both. Just by the comments on other places it seemed like they were fighting on TV at one point. Maybe not though! That’s true, they are. You’re welcome, thanks for replying.
I am from the UK and personally like the show. I do think it has lost it’s edge some what with the introduction of more dramatization over investigation. I liked Nick he was a good member of the team and is the more grounded of the 3.
I have watched shows where nothing has happened and I have watched shows where things have happened that made me scratch my head (a stone lifting off the floor and hurtling towards Zak. Which was commented on by a physicist and a special effects expert who both had no explanation).
I am a man of Science but I also believe that there are things in nature that cannot be explained. Yes the show is ‘for entertainment purposes’ but I sometimes see interesting phenomena in the show which I honestly don’t think is faked.
I’m not a fan of re-enactments. I agree; there are shows where there isn’t much evidence shown. I think it helps people understand that ghosts don’t perform on command. Glad you get the show in the UK!
I Like you site as well 🙂 There are a lot of interesting articles. I was led here when reading up about Ghost Adventure and now it is in my favourites
Now that’s it’s summer, I should be writing more.
I always noticed how Nick would say something and Zak would disagree or not really care. Zak may be the leader but he’s not that nice. Nick was nice and respectful to the GAC but Zak was more rude to him, I feel like Zak was either jealous, mad that Nick was right, or just mad that he was being nice. Zak tells Aaron to go a place that he doesn’t want to go but is forced to do it and controls absolutely everyone. I think they will obey him no matter what because the money they make.
Money ruins friendships and so much more.
The original triad is no more, and the show will suffer for it. That said, I’ll continue to watch!
these shows especially ghost adventures makes me believe there are no such thing as ghosts
Please don’t feel that way! Take them as a grain of salt. Entertainment is different from reality.
Isn’t it creepy to think some spirit is watching you in your most private moments??? I would hate to think my deceased parents or anyone else are watching me.
I’ve been watching GAC since the beginning… Was wondering where Nick went in the beginning of this season, but he’s been on the last few episodes? I know that the last one was a rerun, were the two before that as well?
I think there are some re-runs interspersed between the newer episodes. Nick is busy with tours and public investigations.
I believe it is all fake! I would like to see the guys go to a place with NO information on where spirits were supposed to show and what they were supposed to do. Let them find them without prior knowledge. It is easy to fake stuff where they have been told the background. There is no control, there is no way to know there is not someone hiding from camera and making the noises and speaking…. Come on Zak, go to a place where hauntings are said to happen without any knowledge of where or what. I believe Aaron… all fake. And that stupid machine that is supposed to phonetically interpret ghostspeak – REALY???? And people who say they ‘feel’ something??? Go into any dark creepy building and your imagine takes over and you’ll get goosebumps and scared – nothing paranormal about it. And I guess David Copperfield actually moved a jet plane!
Great idea! I would love to see them go to a location with reported activity but have no information.
Aaron never said anything about faking anything. That was from a satire site. Which is crap. They’re no other camera crews with them. It’s just the four of them. They do debunk stuff. They are professionals, they are sensitives so they will be affected more than the average person.
Stacy, I stand corrected about Aaron. I did more research and found where it is claimed that the story is fake. However, while I respect your right to believe what you see on tv, I don’t. If Zak would go in blind in a reported ‘haunted’ building, without any prior knowledge of what happened, I may give it another look. As for me, seeing something on tv doesn’t make it real anymore than reading stuff on the internet makes it true.
“I would like to see the guys go to a place with NO information on where spirits were supposed to show and what they were supposed to do. Let them find them without prior knowledge.” They did, in an episode where they investigated the then-recently closed Central Unit Prison in Sugar Land, Texas. No one with the show was given any background information about the prison; they were only allowed to carry out a paranormal investigation of the premises themselves, and were not told about any specific incidents or individuals who perished in that prison.
That’s a true test of abilities!
Glad you found our discussion! Look for some of your “local” paranormal teams on True Ghost Stories debuting in September.
I’d like to know why there isn’t a medium along to help any ghosts found to cross over?
That’s what a lot of us are wondering.
dear haunted librarian … on my previous comment regarding a reply to kate my email address is shown in full … could this be removed please ..
See if it has changed. If not, there’s another setting I can play with.
I used to look forward to seeing GA but lately (the last few months) I began to think Zak was a scared little girl because he always send poor AAron and Nick into the spots where there were ghosts. And ,when something REALLY scared them he yelled,Don’t run, don’t run. I wonder what he would do. Zak wants all the attention on himself. Another thing I wonder about are his friends Debbie and her husband. The other investigators. They seem pretty odd also. Not sure about them. Some of the places they have looked into I have been and never had anything happen except the Queen Mary. I lived in Tonopah, Nevada and spent a lot of time at the Mizpah and I never saw heard or experienced anything odd there. Not sure about any of this.
I just happened to find the documentary on Netflix years ago and loved it, the guys were great and the video they caught was AMAZING in the basement. I started watching the show after that and over the years I can tell that the show is getting the better of them. Zak made a big change from when he was in the doc to now the latest episodes of the show. Aaron I think was always the most scared (not a negative thing when working with the paranormal) so they sent him in, you know like guys do, just to mess with him. From what I can tell Nick is a nice guy and I wish him all the luck on his new show. For Zak though, I see his future on Travel Channel sinking. He is getting too over dramatic with the show, I really want to blame Travel Channel for that though, and think he needs to get back to his roots. The doc came out and made everyone sit up and take notice and that’s why they got the show, lets see more of that. Its probably hard to leave the red carpet behind since they have been a hit for so many years but I think it would be good for all of them. I wish all of them the best and hope the rumors of the fake EVPs and the crews reactions aren’t true, even though that hope is empty. Good luck guys!
Zak is very much about himself, but you know what, i like it. I think it’s hilarious to watch because he acts so cool and then runs for cover when all hell breaks loose and its brilliant. He and Aaron remind me of Shawn and Gus from Psych hahaha.
I miss Nick because the three of them together was just fantastic, they all brought their own personalities into it and it worked so well.
Ghost Stalkers is quite good, and now I have 2 shows to watch instead of 1, so I guess its a bit of a win for the fans, but I do miss the chemistry and fun…
They all have their own personalities. Zac is the Charismatic outspoken one, he is the leader of the group, Nick is more the reserved silent type, and Aaron is more the happy-go-lucky kinda guy who will always go along with his pals. That’s just the way it is, life is like that ya know? I like them all just the way they are and am saddened to hear the group has suffered a rift. I hope their friendship endures and any unpleasantness between them resolved, and the rift mended. Good luck to all of them in their endeavors.
I don’t understand why it says Nick remains professional but not Zac. Nick just doesn’t say what he thinks in front of people and must in reality have made the GAcrew mad when he wanted to leave. Know why I’m thinking like this? It’s cause on twitter, no one from GAC got Nick in their followers/following. Something must have happened between these guys for sure. I mean, I know some others cases where one person is leaving a group to join another group, but he and his old mates are still in contact with each others even if they are not in the same team (which means they can be opponent today). They still love each others. Here in GAC case, it seems to not be the case on twitter. So I think it’s normal if Zak is talking shortly about Nick then goes back to talk about his show. This problem with Nick must have affected the GAC, and surely they are disappointed to see Nick leaving. I mean this guy was the co-founder and a friend! I was happy to see Zak, Nick and Aaron together. And now that Nick left, the GAC must do their best to keep entertaining people. If I was Zak, I would get mad too that people are always talking about Nick leaving. For god sake, if people want so much to know about Nick, then they need to go on his twitter and follow him on Ghost Hunters, his new show. Stop bothering the GAC with ‘Nick’ name. This guy left. Life still going on and YOU’RE RIGHT ZAC, let’s focus on the new adventures of the crew. Cause I still love what you and Aaron doing. You guys the best!
Even if Nick and GAC are not together, let’s just encourage both part and stop badmouthing one or another cause you guys, all of you and me too, we don’t know what happened in GAC. End of story. Please, you need to modify this article and stop making more scars to the GAC!
I’ve not read any of the comments before my entry, but I have a couple of my own. I’m not a paranormal investigator, but I’ve been involved with one of New York’s most documented, haunted locations: The Dandy House or more accepted as The HInsdale House. The house has been viewed on Discovery Channels series, A Haunting as well as many other productions; two books have also been written about this house’s “troubles.”
The paranormal activity at the Dandy House is sporadic, but present. Zak’s show is just too “overly sensationalized” for my liking or beliefs. In each investigation, he turns up more ‘credible’ evidence, activity if you will, than the seriously haunted location, the Dandy House. I’ve also never seen so much physical ‘touching’ as occurs on his shows. We all know if the show was lacking activity at a particular location the ratings would be just lacking as well.
I don’t know Nick personally, but I will have the pleasure of meeting him soon. Some others who were involved with the Dandy House contacted Zak to perhaps have his crew investigate the property. I make it very clear to these people I worked with at the Dandy House that I would be no part of his team coming – strictly due to his personal behavior on his show. Please understand, I am in no way dissing Zak personally or professionally, I just believe, no I know that activity doesn’t happen just ’cause you want it to. I wish him all the best of luck on his new season, but I have a fonder hope for a bright future for one who doesn’t add the spice or trickery to make a show ‘click.’

I too have become super disappointed in the show. The last few seasons have become terrible. There is way too much history as a filler and not enough proof of anything. If you are investigating a location, why do another in the same episode. It is simply because there is nothing there, and half of the stuff they do “find” in my opinion is being made up.
I hear comments of “Super Scary”, I watch the episode and think that my 6 year old gran kid could have watched that and had a peaceful nights sleep. I also have watched a few other paranormal shows that have investigated or told stories on the same locations and their stories are different. Even the owners stories are different.
Why are they making the show so fake. They have to realise that one day their ratings are going to drop so badly they are going to end up with the same rating as TAPS or a lot of the other shows. would I recommend their show to anyone… yes but nothing after around season 7. After that it gets bad. Season 11 episode 6… what was that about…. its the worst bunch of rubbish I have ever seen.
Good for you Nick. I do like Ghost Adventures but lost my respect for Zac When they investigated the Oman House. He left nick abandoned, when nick really need him. Zac was a puss. He was to afraid to help Nick when he really needed him. That was some scary stuff happening there. Zac always sends Aaron or Nick to do the dirty work. I will continue to watch both shows.
Do you really believe these shows are real? If this was real it would not be on TV, much less hear about it. But what is real is how gullable you are. No I don.t believe in any of this, but I do believe how far man will go to make you believe. now that is really scary
