Trivia / Ghost Adventures

• Promoted Fanboy: A couple of the current crew members and some special guests are this depending on the situation.
  • Dakota Laden, who first appeared in the Old Charleston Jail episode, is this for the crew, as he originally did parody videos of the show (which Zak made note of in his first appearance and also in the Gila County Courthouse and Jail), becoming a guest star for the Charleston Jail episode after his father won the GAC music video contest, and subsequently joined the crew as an additional cameraman, sometimes doing guest investigating with the crew.
  • According to Zak in the Slaughter House episode, Post Malone is this, due to wanting to be a guest since Season 3 (well before Post became the mainstream musician that he is today).
• Schedule Slip: Slips in the early seasons due to short gaps between seasons, causing some episodes to be halted for a few weeks, hiatus in the later seasons when they aim their hiatus around mid-summer or Christmas time. They try to fill this with special episodes, such as recaps, Extra Pulses (past episodes that have additional historic facts overlaid with the videos), or past specials.
• What Could Have Been:
  • According to Zak on Twitter, the GAC would love to investigate the New Mexico State Penitentiary outside of Santa Fe, but due to another paranormal show accidentally igniting a fire in the prison a few years back, no other teams have been granted permission to film inside the prison.
  • Back in Season 4, when they reinvestigated the Goldfield Hotel (due to the owner being there and granting them permission to reinvestigate), they were originally supposed to investigate another haunting relating to George Wingfield (The Nixon Building), while also investigating the local Santa Fe Saloon.
  • The GAC on Twitter have also stated before that they would like to do another live episode similar to the Trans Allegheny Lunatic Asylum episode, but are not doing it in order to avoid another controversy similar to what Robert Bess caused after he faked getting an EMF detector smacked out of his hand by a spirit.
    • They did end up doing another one on request from the Travel Channel, however, this one had more issues and controversies caused on Travel Channel's part than the GAC's, mainly because of how much advertisement went to opening the Dybbuk Box in the Haunted Museum (which the GAC did not even go through with because of the dangers of it), people claiming Jay was manipulating the Ouija Board (which is possible if the subconscious was affecting it), the rabbi making a mistake in words saying that he didn't want to go "off-script" and said he had to look up what the Dybbuk Box is, (Addressed in a video by Zak where he and the rabbi talk about the incident and explain that he was told at the last second to be there, and was not told it was a live episode, and later reiterated that during his introduction, that he meant to say Dybbuk Box, cause as a Rabbi, he knew what a Dybbuk is, but not the Dybbuk Box), and the constant ads interfering with the airtime, despite being a live show (where potential evidence was cut off on the live tv airing but was still only seen by people who had access to the website to look at the cameras set up for the event). Zak went on in the video with the rabbi that most of the issues with the live episode are on the Travel Channel, due to not vetting all their guests properly and giving proper information on what is going on.
  • On the Aftershocks regarding the Ohio State Reformatory, Zak stated that DJ Fly was supposed to be the main guest for the segment, but due to him having a stroke on the way to the airport, he had to invite a friend of DJ's in his place while he recovered
  • A more downplayed example is during the "Return to Tombstone" episode, in which they were originally investigating Big Nose Kate's Saloon first then the Birdcage Theater, but due to a patron having a heart attack in Big Nose Kate's Saloon, the investigation order got reversed while paramedics were at the location.
  • Another downplayed example is during their "Exorcist House" episode, when Father Ashcraft (from the "Sedamsville Rectory" episode) was supposed to bless the house after the investigation, but had to be rushed to the emergency room during the drive from Cincinatti to St. Louis, cancelling the cleansing.
  • Originally during the "Hales Bar Marina and Dam" episode, they were going to include the nearby marina, but could not investigate it due to a tornado destroying most of it, leaving them with a full investigation of the dam.
  • Also a Tear Jerker due to what happened, but the Winchester Mystery House investigation got cut short after Zak had overwhelming feelings of dread and sadness, which was revealed to be his grandmothers death at the same time the investigation stopped
  • Sometime around the filming of the Los Coches Adobe episode, a Monterey Herald news article stated that Zak and the crew were granted permission to investigate the San Carlos Mission in Carmel, due to spirit activity relating to the canonization of Fr. Junipero Serra. The location was filmed, but no word on its official release, whether as a special episode similar to the Netherworld special, or a different kind of special.
  • As stated by Zak at the beginning of the divisive "Panic in Amarillo" episode, they were expected to do another location but postponed it due to receiving a call regarding the family featured in the episode claiming that they are having an issue with an entity that is attacking the mother and the kid.
  • Before Season 4 began, an unknown Halloween special was scheduled to air on October 29, 2010. However, this unknown special was replaced by the Vulture Mine episode. No word or information has surfaced about this special.
