Removed a justifying edit and toned down an example of Narm due to it very clearly being an example of Complaining About Shows You Don't Like rather than anything else. It's pretty obvious from the tone that doesn't match the rest of the page.


*** To be fair though, during the drive to the Zozo Demon house in Oklahoma City (His last appearing episode in terms of time of filming) at the beginning of the episode, Nick did get extremely upset with Zak about doing another case with an Ouija Board, claiming he just got all the stuff from the Exorcist House in St. Louis out of his system. He was also the primary person, along with Darren Evans, using the Ouija board, so his leave, along with the birth of his daughter, is justified.



** Also, apparently every anomaly in photography, lighting, sound, or temperature is caused by a ghost. Every time it gets a little colder, the lights gets slightly blurry, they hear a noise, or see something (conveniently off-camera), they all freak out, run around, and scream. It's hilarious. You can't yell, "dude" over and over again and expect it to be taken seriously.

** Also, apparently every Sometimes, the crew will overreact to a minor anomaly in photography, lighting, sound, or like a temperature is caused by a ghost. Every time it gets a little colder, the lights gets slightly blurry, they hear a noise, change or a small noise as if they'd just seen a ghost face-to-face. In addition, they'll often see something (conveniently off-camera), they all freak out, off-camera and begin to run around, away and scream. It's hilarious. You can't yell, "dude" over and over again and expect scream without showing the viewers what it was. It can be hard to be taken seriously.take an episode seriously when either of these things happen.

* TearJerker: It was revealed by Aaron that after investigating Bobby Mackey's Music World, ghosts had followed the three of them home, and even led to the end of Aaron's marriage. The ghosts tormented his wife so much that even though they were best friends, they had to call it off. Goes with KickTheDog on their third trip to Bobby Mackey's, the [=EVP=]s revealing the ghosts taunting Aaron.
** At Gettysburg, they got an EVP of a young woman saying 'I'm pregnant.' The team believes it to be the spirit of Jennie Wade, the only civilian casualty of the battle. It adds another layer of tragedy to an already tragic event.
** Zak's grandmother died while they were investigating the Winchester Mystery House. Made even worse in the ending with it highlighting a photo of Zak that he gave to his grandmother (Who never missed an episode of her grandson's show, mind you.).
** When investigating Gary Galka's House, it's supposed to be a true tearjerker, including Gary and his wife crying through the interviews. (Though to be fair, it is about their deceased daughter that they are trying to find closure for)
** During the "Aftershocks" episode about the Yorktown Hospital its revealed that Spirit (the donkey that [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments scared the crap out of Zak]] when the [=GAC=] visited) was killed. What makes it worse is that Spirit's owner believes the killer is a living person and not a spirit; according to the owner there are people in town who feel he is taking advantage of the spirits in the hospital.
** Nick's departure from the show. While many fans are happy for Nick to continue his own show, it gives a rather saddening vibe that Nick [[WeUsedToBeFriends may not speak to Aaron or Zak anymore]]. It's even ''more'' uncomfortable when Zak didn't give Nick his regards for his departure and his new plans until hours later of his announcement. It also doesn't help that ''despite'' fan's theories of Nick's departure being because of his family, Nick confirmed through his Website/{{Facebook}} ''that wasn't the case''. More speculation came out when it was revealed Nick was fired due to doing his own shows behind the GAC's back (more in the fact that it wasn't a branch of the show to say the least) and breaking a contract. It hasn't helped that Zak's shown very big hostility towards Nick ever since, and even said in a now deleted tweet that just because one has a good work partnership doesn't ''mean'' they have a good friendship.
** Both Mark and Debby's death is this due to being extremely influential in the paranormal community. Alongside laments from the Ghost Adventures Crew, other paranormal investigators that shared their sorrow for her death include [[Series/GhostHunters Amy Bruni]], [[Series/ParanormalState Dave Schrader]], and many others, including former GAC member Nick Groff.

I hate to think of you and your gifts snuffed out like this. xoxoxoxo"
-->'''Nick Groff on Twitter:''' "This is such a terrible tragedy [=@TheConstantinos=] I'm deeply sadden."
*** During the 2018 return to the Washoe Club investigation, they identify an EVP with Debby’s voice. They are clearly shaken by this, hearing a friend on the other side.
** The Crisis in Oakdale episode is arguably this for the crew and the interviewees, since a mother lost her kid to suicide, and said son happened to be a huge fan of Ghost Adventures. Even though the details on his suicide note which was read throughout the episode are not revealed, its clearly enough to make the crew tear up, and even get Chris Fleming to be unnerved at the situation. And then, her son actually comes through on the spirit box...
-->'''Michael's Spirit:''' "Say Something"
*** Not to mention his mother requesting that he grab's Zak's ass just to show that he is present, which does happen in the episode immediately after the above voice.

* UncannyValley: The Enchanted Forest theme park. Zak would agree.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen: 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, [[ScrewedByTheNetwork 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 [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking 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 TearJerker 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.

* SomethingCompletelyDifferent: The London Bridge episode is this, due to the nature of the location (a publicly accessible bridge complete with automobile traffic). Reports of shadow people jumping off the bridge, Jack The Ripper's spirit supposedly lurking inside the bridge's framework, a creature that appears in the waters of Lake Havasu causing accidents and drownings, make for an interesting approach to the investigation that involves binoculars, an underwater drone, and [[ButtMonkey Aaron]] traversing the inner chambers of the bridge.

* AscendedFanboy: 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, Music/PostMalone is this, due to wanting to be a guest since Season 3 (well before Post became the mainstream musician that he is today).

** The 2019 episode "Panic In Amarillo" is also this, because the mothers claims of "paranormal" activity (her and her 3 year old daughter being scratched, dark entity chasing family away, etc.) ended up setting red flags during their interview due to contradictions and inconsistencies, leading the GAC, fans, and Bishop Bryan Oulette to believe she was doing this to herself and daughter to get on TV. Compounding this, the GAC did not catch any evidence in the home, and immediately after, Bishop Bryan and Sister Mary Jane tweeted on twitter that due to confidentiality reasons, they cannot disclose what happened after the episode, but strongly hinted at CPS getting involved due to the testimony of one of the other kids (saying his/her mother has violent mood swings, and when asked by the GAC, did not deny the fact that she could be doing the scratching herself), the mother causing the scratches on her daughter's back, the state of the house when they got there (incredibly unkempt/unclean house, definitely not safe for a 3 year old to live in), and the public doing research on the mom, discovering her various run-ins with the police, pointing it out to Zak and the GAC over Twitter

*** The majority wants the GAC to stop these episodes because they believe that the private homes where no significant activity was observed is just the family trying to get on TV (Demons in Seattle, Terror in Fontana (they did capture evidence here, not for the main reason, being the attacks on their child), Panic in Amarillo), the minority wants these episodes to happen, but not as often because there are good private home investigations that netted some very good evidence (The Galka Family, Fox Hollow Farm, Sharon Tate Ghost, Reseda House of Evil, Upper Fruitland Curse, Crisis In Oakdale). The general consensus for "Panic In Amarillo" is that it wasn't more for the paranormal, it was more for [[TheHeart Zak wanting to be sure that the 3 year old girl was safe]], although fans were miffed at the beginning when Zak said they cancelled their investigation to help this family out.

** The 2018 episode "Tintic Mining District" has this in the second half, where a tenant of one of the properties they investigated insisted on doing a ritual for them to summon the entities of the mansion, The GAC remain skeptical of his abilities, but they go through with it, and noticed a moth that flew through all the flames on the candles without being lit on fire, however, Jay immediately calls him out on messing up the ritual that he was performing because he missed some steps, however, they did capture an entity on the SLS camera next to the tenant after ending the ritual, followed by an EVP saying Zak's name, and followed by one of the most disturbing demonic screams they have ever captured, which promptly disturbed the woman that owned the mansion, and their guest investigator. The scream was enough to say that they don't want to go back in the house, especially since the ritual was done wrong, cause Zak and Jay stated before the ritual that if something goes wrong, they could be at severe risk.

** The 2018 episode "Terror in Fontana" is this to some extent, they were called because a family is being tormented by a demon, and it in particular attacks the eldest child, however, while they did notice he acts weird whenever his mother invokes Jesus' name, they feel that he is just acting up to get attention (which doesn't explain earlier incidents where he was thrown into a roof and back on the floor, getting a concussion, or being dragged out of the bed by the arm when his whole family is there, with camera proof, not to mention the random 666 they get out of a speak and say toy), or that he has a demonic infestation of some sort in his body. The crew, however, did get evidence of the mothers claim that her grandmother does haunt the house, when she tells them about the picture, and did capture evidence of activity in the kids room, corroborating that he has been the target of attack by this entity (seeing one of his dragon toys fly off his nightstand, and later discovering that one of the family cameras surveying the room gets pulled off its stand by an unseen entity.

*** They did end up doing another one on request from the Travel Channel, however, [[ScrewedByTheNetwork 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 [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking 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.
