"Paranormal investigator Zak Bagans has traveled all over the world, seeking answers to life's deepest and most terrifying mysteries.What happens when we die? Why do some spirits move on while others remain stuck in some sort of in-between place? What do the spirits really want from us? Zak has dedicated his life to finding out the truth."
Zak Bagans reveals a very raw, rarely seen part of his soul in this book. Stories from behind the scenes of Ghost Adventures are told from a very poignant standpoint. There are remarkable backstories to the episodes and revelations of Zak's continuing relationship - some good and some bad - with the various spirits he's come across over the years. I enjoyed getting a bigger perspective of why he does what he does and what it costs him in the long run. ( )

TThe author is the lead explorer in the show Ghost Adventures. I found this book at a sale for .50. It was snowing yesterday, and I picked up the first book on the top of a pile.

It was a quick read into some creepy places. It was written way over the top. I could not relate to the goth and chapters about vampires. Bagans admits he likes to de stress in a dark cave-like environment.

It takes a strong person to do what he does. Placing himself in potential harms way can be dangerous. He deserves credit for what he does. ( )

Zak Bagans became famous for hunting ghosts on the Travel Channel. His Ghost Adventures will hit it's 10 year anniversary next year. I've been watching it since the first two hour premiere. I have to admit that I enjoyed things more during the first years of the show compared to now. In this book you can see how much Bagans has changed from the start of the show, and his first book. I think the book explains the differences in who he is an what the TV show has become. He's very different, much more goth and caught up in the Vampire culture. None of which are bad, but seem to completely changed him as a person. If you're a fan of the show or were a fan of the show but are having issues with how things have changed, definitely pick up this book. It will explain many things. ( )

I really liked how we get to see inside Zak's head as he does investigations and the emotions he felt. He really gives an insight to what it is like to be a paranormal investigator. I really enjoyed the book and am looking forward to reading his other book. ( )
