I am seriously obsessed with Ghost Adventures and it has very little to do with the ghost hunting. Okay, I do love the ghost hunting but I am obsessed for an entirely different reason. I can’t help but feel their excitement and passion with each episode. I feel that I am usually a good judge in character and I believe that these three men are genuine in what they do. The way they get excited and pumped when something super natural happens seems real to me. I can feel it through the T.V. I thoroughly enjoy watching these lads living a dream. It gives me hope.
Zak, Nick, and Aaron were all me at one point. I am not certain if they all went to film school or not, but I do know Zak did. But they all came from different parts of the U.S. They all lived normal lives with normal jobs. When Zak experienced his first encounter with the paranormal it drove him to seek answers. His passion lead him on a journey that would eventually land him a television show on the Travel Channel. This inspires me greatly.
I think about how their several second clip of an apparition got them on the news. Then that lead to other stations wanting to interview them, which lead to news paper articles, people contacting them for investigations, and eventually they caught the eye of someone from the Travel Channel. I don’t know the full story of how it all happened but it moves me.
I also love the style of editing that is done for their show. I am not sure who does the post production now that they are on T.V. but it follows the set up used back when it was 4Reel productions. I especially love that they show their evidence in “real time” as the audience follows them through the dark. Not to mention how perfect their three personalities blend to make a concoction of awesome. haha. Everything about the show is grand. The production (pre - post), the crew, the narration.
I am also guilty of following them on FB and Twitter because I get to share in their success and see the kind of life I want to make for myself.
Zak, Nick, and Aaron you have proven more than the existence of ghosts. You have shown me and many others that you can make dreams come true. With passion and perseverance anything is possible.
