Haunted Hotel Spooks Ghost Adventures Stars

July 27th, 2010

David Moye

If there was any way to monitor TV ratings in the afterlife, the Travel Channel series “Ghost Adventures” would probably make a killing.

The show, which starts its fourth season in September, is not only one of the cable network’s most popular, but series stars Zak Bagans, Nick Groff and Aaron Goodwin are becoming as well known in the netherworld as they are in the real one.

“A lot of people think that this, because it’s on television, is entertainment, and we’re out there yelling and screaming for no reason,” Bagans told AOL News. “We live with things that follow us constantly. This ‘door’ has been open so long that it just constantly keeps getting wider and wider. So when we go places, it’s almost like we’re known in the spirit world.

“We go places that we haven’t even been yet, and they call our names. They say, ‘Zak! Nick, come in!’ all the time.”

Bagans, Groff and Goodwin, on a promotional tour for their series, were in San Diego recently to meet their living fans at Comic-Con, but graciously gave any ghostly groupies a chance to say hello as well by agreeing to be interviewed in Room 3327 at the Hotel Del Coronado, a world-famous hotel with a world-famous ghost by the name of Kate Morgan.

Morgan has been scaring up business since 1892 when she reportedly took her own life after spending five lonely and lovesick days at the hotel waiting for a man who never arrived.

Although the hotel has hosted such living luminaries as Bill Clinton, “Weird” Al Yankovic and the cast of “Baywatch,” Morgan is the most famous permanent resident. Her hotel room is popular with guests, many of whom report having strange paranormal experiences while staying there.

In other words, the perfect place for an interview with ghost experts like these guys, right?

In fact, Bagans says he, Groff and Goodwin prefer to stay in haunted hotels whenever possible.

“It’s what we live in,” he says. “This is our environment, so to be around it, personally, makes me more comfortable.”

Groff agrees.

“We’ve been doing this for so long that usually when we walk in, we can pick up stuff right away,” he says.

At that moment, a water bottle suddenly flies out of the hand of the show’s publicist, Diane McNamara, and lands seven feet away at my feet. The suddenness freaks out McNamara, causing her to leave the room and stay away for the remainder of the interview.

“Mary Knows Best” Series Premiere

July 16th, 2010

Medium Lynne Olson

Mary Occhino

Mary Occhino was a definite character. Her grown children had their hands full. I felt badly for her daughter Jackie… Mary’s heavy handed matchmaking attempts would have embarrassed any single adult daughter. Much worse than the time an employee tried to set me up with the UPS guy. Mary O already has grandchildren via her son Carol. Why not leave Jackie alone?

Her son Chris… eccentric would be the kind term. He seems to alternate between end of the world survivalist planning and trying to be some sort of new age guru in the making. His statements “I have no room for failure in my life. I am running out of time” and “I am just bugging out right now” pretty much summed up how he was presented in the pilot episode.

I was more than a little worried when Mary kept repeating that “I am never wrong” She finally toned it down a bit and said her accuracy was between 85 and 90 percent. Nobody is always right. Ever.

Mary’s impressions of an old house she and her journalist son Carl walked through was proven to be impressively on track. She picked up on a private family Cherokee graveyard, underground railroad activity and the first name of a past owner. All these bits of information were confirmed by her son Carl at a local historical society.  Mary said there was an accident, which was probably the car accident that killed former owner Earnest Tuttle. I would have liked to have known more about the bodies she saw laid out in front of the house. I think an entire family perished due to a rampant disease such as scarlet fever or typhoid. I would also add booze smuggling to the history of the house.

I saw the bodies, two adults and three children. The bodies were strangely bloated. Perhaps they were not found right away? Got an image of boxes of bottles secreted in the cupboards in the upper floors of the house. I heard the cries of the baby born and who passed in the front room of the house. The rest of it I didn’t pick up on but Carl found factual backup for her claims.

Mary stated all three of her grown children were also paranormally gifted but only son Chris acknowledged it.

On the spot readings as she went about her daily life… such things do happen, but I doubted everyone would be receptive to having their life stories pried open at the supermarket, bakery or dry cleaners.

I did enjoy the snippets from Mary’s radio show. The difference there was people self selected, chose to call in and requested spot readings on the air.

The purpose of a reality show is to entertain and Mary O certainly provided that.

Blessings,

Lynne

Yvette Fielding Leaving Most Haunted

June 26th, 2010

In an announcement on the show’s production company website, Yevette Fielding has announced she is leaving Most Haunted.

 

A Message From Yvette Fielding

Dear All

As you all know, Most Haunted has been not only my baby but a serious passion of mine since Karl and I came up with the idea. We sold just about everything and got a huge loan to make the pilot. We fought so hard to get it on the screens. We didn’t let the constant knock backs stop us until eventually it was taken up by Living (UK Living as it was known then) and the rest is history. A history you have helped make.

The show has won awards here in the UK, in New York and sold around the world. It has been parodied by the legendary Saturday Night Live in the USA, French and Saunders here in Bughty and even watched by Royalty. It was cited as having a pivotal role in Living winning “Broadcast Channel Of The Year” and constantly returning the channels highest ratings. It is the most successful Paranormal Show in history and something we are very proud of. No other show has been copied, parodied and plagiarized so much. If it is true that imitation is highest form of flattery, we consider ourselves very flattered.

The success of the show is purely down to a great team, the odd ghost and you, the fans who have given me so much support and encouragement over the years. It is because of you that I have managed to continue through some very hard times and difficult decisions. The highs have been truly high and the lows very trying but we made it through and came out with a show that I can stand by confidently and say I did my best.

At the start I wanted to bring Paranormal Investigations to a wider audience, making them more acceptable and with the ever growing amount of groups that have started since Most Haunted began, I feel that has been achieved.

It has been a great 10 years. However, after a lot of thought and soul searching over the past year, I have come to a decision. It is now time for me to hang up my long black coat, move on and leave Most Haunted as it’s presenter, in order to purse other projects. I hope that the Brand will continue for years to come as it will always be dear to me.

As well as continuing with ITV2’s “Ghosthunting with…” which grows from strength to strength and with some great celebrity guests coming up, it is much watch TV. I will be carrying on my quest to find paranormal activity on other channels taking investigations further than ever before and expanding on what I have already done.

I have felt for some time that I wanted to move Paranormal Investigations to the next level. This is in no small part to the 1000’s of letters and emails I get asking to go further and move forward. So in answer to you the fans of the Paranormal, that is what I am doing.

In leaving, I want to say a huge thanks to a great team of investigators that have turned the show into a household name. The tech crew who have been on the show and to Living for broadcasting the show over the past 10 years.

But my biggest thanks is to you the viewers. Most Haunted owes you a true debt of gratitude. I truly can’t thank you enough.

Carry on Ghost findings, as for me that’s not so much Goodbye as..See you on the other side!
