'Ghost Adventures: Quarantine': Release date, plot, cast and all you need to know about Travel Channel's spooky special
The supernational addition to our quarantine entertainment library is here. Travel Channel's famed paranormal investigators are coming to our screens with a special titled 'Ghost Adventures: Quarantine'. Zak Bagans, Aaron Goodwin, Jay Wasley and Billy Tolley believe in the widely told hypothesis that supernatural entities feed off of fear, and the more the fear, the more malevolent the spirits become. In this four-part miniseries, they are about to put that very theory to test. Here's all you need to know about it.
Release date
'Ghost Adventures: Quarantine' premieres Thursday, June 11, at 9|8c on Travel Channel.
Plot
The fearless four quarantine themselves for two weeks in Bagans' famed 'Haunted Museum' in Las Vegas, all by themselves. The whole series is filmed by the guys, who attempt to capture any uncanny incidents and find out if the fear emanating off a person can impact dark energies attached to the world's most haunted objects that are on display in the museum. The museum has been shut due to the pandemic and the team will be the first people to visit the museum in weeks while practicing social distancing guidelines. In a turn of events, Bagans will finally make the highly-anticipated move of opening the Dybbuk Box, a haunted object that is believed to curse anyone who comes in contact with it, to investigate its sinister energy.
Each episode spans an hour and is shot entirely by the foursome, who are devoid of their usual camera crew. They will examine the notoriously haunted areas and artifacts in the museum including the Devil's Rocking Chair and Peggy the Doll. They will also deploy some new investigative tactics and devices in their search for answers. The team's apprehension levels are bound to spike, considering the power these malicious spirits may possess. "This is by far the most intense investigation and in-depth experiment we have ever done, considering the whole tone of doing a lockdown within a pandemic lockdown... it’s as raw and terrifying as it gets," Bagans said in a press release. "Fear gives entities power, and fear is now permeating our society on a scale we haven’t experienced before. We are witnessing the amount of spirit activity greatly increase and we need to understand how this unprecedented situation affects things on a supernatural level. This led us to finally open the Dybbuk Box – a moment that will live with me forever."
Cast
Zak Bagans
An alumnus of the Motion Picture Institute of Michigan, Zak Bagans moved to Las Vegas to become a documentary filmmaker and a paranormal investigator. In addition, he is also a museum operator and author. He is a self-described empath who uses a religious, scientific and emotional approach to confront spirits during an investigation. He has said that he respects the afterlife and only provokes evil entities in order to incite responses.
Aaron Goodwin
Aaron Goodwin is an equipment technician, camera operator and co-investigator in the show. Before joining Bagans, he had worked as a camera operator for the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) and several behind-the-scenes film premiers in Las Vegas. Goodwin also owns a clothing brand called 'Big Steppin Clothing'. On the show, he's usually left alone at hotspots and acts as 'bait' to lure in spirits amid an investigation.
Jay Wasley
Jay Wasley is a producer, director, cinematographer and audio engineer who has been in the business since 2001. He joined the cast of 'Ghost Adventures' in 2004 as their sound mixer but eventually worked his way up to becoming an investigator cast member as well as one of the cinematographers.
Billy Tolley
Billy Tolley started out as a professional club DJ in Las Vegas and is well versed in audio and video tech. His interest in the paranormal began with electronic voice phenomena (EVPs). With many years of experience in making music and with a strong understanding of sound, it enhanced his curiosity in the EVP mechanism and he soon met Bagans, who made him a part of the crew. Tolley is now an official investigator on the show.
