Zak Bagans Ghost Adventurer

Zachary Alexander Bagans host of Ghost Adventures was born April 5th, 1977, in Washington D.C. His family moved to Clearwater, Florida where he was a "Typical Beach kid crabbing, fishing, boating, and surfing.", he moved to Chicago to live with his biological father for a time and then to Michigan and now Las Vegas.

In 1994 his mother and stepfather moved to Lake Tahoe California.

Zak was interested in meteorology and broadcast journalism when he was in high school. He graduated Glenbard West High School in January 1995, instead of with the class in June (I don't recall the reason for this)

He went to Western Michigan University for two weeks and left.

Zak Went to the Motion picture Institute for Documentary Filmmaking. He graduated with honors in an elite class and going overboard with his final called 'The Red Butterfly'

Zak and his sister were on a family week of Wheel of Fortune back in 1997.

He's had jobs as a valet, landscaper, selling Urinal supplies & sanitary services Used to be a mobile D.j., and party host MC'ing weddings etc and because of this to this day he gets nauseous upon hearing the song 'Celebration'

He was previously a skeptic of the paranormal until 2002. While living in Trenton, Michigan, Zak saw the ghost of a suicidal woman. He is now the lead investigator, Executive Producer and editor of the Travel Channel series Ghost Adventures on Saturday nights

Zak has suffered from anxiety and panic attacks all his life.

Some of his hobbies are weightlifting and MMA or Mixed Martial Arts for those who don't know. He likes going for nature walks and playing with his Dog Gracie as well as helping out at ASPCA (?) of Nevada.

He has been obsessed with Dracula (like me) since he was a kid as well as collecting Football and baseball cards and reading comics; Ironically he said Ghost Rider was his favorite!

a Day in the Life with Zak Bagans

Tour Zak's Dungeon

Zak has since been actively investigating and capturing evidence of the spirit world. In his investigations, Zak has been badly scratched by a demon at Bobby Mackey's Music World, Possessed (well half?) at the Princeton School of Industry, and on Poveglia Island getting overcome by a dark spirit which is the reason he got the tattoo on his back. It signifies the fight between good & evil.

Zak was the host and executive producer of Paranormal Challenge. Think of it as 'Fans Ghost Adventures'. 2 teams of amateur paranormal investigators would get locked down in a location overnight, and if they don't get scared out they present their findings to Zak and 3 other paranormal experts.

Now he is a producer of Paranormal Paparazzi, which is like a paranormal tabloid like TMZ and his own clothing line called 'Dungeon Wear' clothing and has apparel for both men & women.

Ghost Adventures celebrated their 100th Episode on October 4th 2013

I've tried watching the rest of the paranormal investigation shows, then I found Ghost Adventures and therefore found the best. Why do I consider them the best?

1. They don't use just one or 2 devices they use a variety to get the most proof possible. It's one thing if you just use EVPs & cameras & hearing 'something' or seeing something but using night vision, ultraviolet cameras, and thermal vision well watch it for yourselves

2. It's only the 3 guys and no other camera crew. So you know it wasn't one of them.

3. All I saw in the other shows was them finding orbs, which well could have been a speck of dust.

On Ghost Adventures, they try to debunk voices, lighting/shadows and so on as well as shown the difference between what a dust particle or bug looks like on camera (especially during night-vision) and something that's more likely to be an actual orb. Besides orbs, In this show you see Shadows from nowhere, floating mists with faces and other ways that may make you a believer that there's a realm beyond ours.

4. The guys crack me up! Although Zak is quite serious doing the investigations, they can be pretty lighthearted, with a joke about something or just sending Aaron to the worse room on a lock-down. Then there's Zak provoking the spirits (well he used to) in which the spirits always seem to take it out on Nick or Aaron I Hate... Kill... and unofficially... all those cool gadgets they get to use!

So Get gHOSTly and have a viewing party or your own investigation with all these Ghost Adventures goodies

sadly for some reason, Nick is no longer part of the GAC, though I have seen he has his own show now but I only caught it once. I never heard anything about Nick leaving, let alone why

These are facts I've read about him and heard straight from his mouth during the show, interviews & fingers (on Twitter)

Not enough of facts here for you? Check out his book Dark World (you can easily order it above

Its scary the amount of stuff we share in common.. its like he's the male version of me.

(I thought I was the only one who had an aversion to the shower curtain... he hates it for the same reason I do.)
