About the Ghost Adventures Crew

Meet The "Ghost Adventures" crew! Zak Bagans and Nick Groff, along with equipment tech Aaron Goodwin, have been investigating some of the most haunted, scary, notorious places around the globe. And they are bringing those adventures directly to you on the Travel Channel.

The guys are locked down at each location after exhaustively researching the history and fortifying themselves with knowledge of the site and its ghosts. And when the sun goes down...the gloves come off! Each lockdown is a dusk til dawn confrontation of some of the darker things that go bump in the night. Then, the evidence is analyzed and reviewed with some of the most respected specialists in the field, and the results are packaged into "Ghost Adventures".

Sincere...raw...extreme. You don't want to miss the adventures!

Can you handle the lockdown?!

Zachary "Zak" Bagans (born on April 5, 1977) is the lead investigator and host of the series. He is also an executive producer and editor of the show. Bagans is the founder of the Ghost Adventures Crew (GAC), one of the largest networks of professional ghost hunters. Its membership consists of about 500 paranormal organizations worldwide. He currently resides in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Being a former skeptic himself, Bagans says that his passion for investigating the paranormal resulted from a "face-to-face" encounter with the alleged spirit of a suicidal woman who haunted his old apartment building in Trenton, Michigan. Afterward, his life-changing experience caused him to actively pursue capturing video evidence of the afterlife.[13] In the introduction of each episode, Bagans states: “ My name is Zak Bagans. I've never believed in ghosts until I came face to face with one. So I set out on a quest to capture what I once saw onto video....With no big camera crews following us around, I am joined only by my fellow investigator Nick Groff and our equipment tech Aaron Goodwin. The three of us will travel to the some of most highly active paranormal locations, where we will spend an entire night, being locked down from dusk until dawn....Raw...Extreme...These are our Ghost Adventures. ” Using a self-described religious, scientific, and emotional approach,[7] Bagans is known and criticized for his aggressive and confrontational methods used during investigations; however, he maintains that he respects the afterlife and only provokes evil entities in order to elicit responses. In a June 2009 interview with the Paranormal Underground magazine, he stated, "I don't want the public perceiving us as the taunting, provocative ghost hunters. We do that only to the bad spirits who we know are attacking the living."[14] Bagans also mentions this concept in various interviews and episodes throughout the series. In season 3, Bagans summarized his greatest fears while climbing an aged staircase inside a shot tower at the Remington Arms factory: "Heights, snakes, and crazy-looking dolls...Those are on Zak’s top three I-don’t-like list."[15] Zak encountered situations involving these fears in the episodes at Sloss Furnaces, Idaho State Penitentiary, and the Riddle House, respectively.

Aaron Goodwin (born on April 1, 1976) is an equipment technician, camera operator, and a co-investigator on the series. In need of a cameraman for their documentary, Bagans and Groff first met and hired Goodwin in Las Vegas to assist them with primary filming and B-roll taping. Originally from Portland, Oregon, he currently resides in Las Vegas, Nevada. Before joining Bagans and Groff, Goodwin had worked as a camera operator for the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) and several behind-the-scenes film premieres in Las Vegas.[7] Often left alone on "hotspots" within the locations under investigation, Goodwin has been portrayed as "bait" to attract supposed ghostly spirits.[22] At Preston Castle, three marks similar to the "scratches" on Bagan's back appeared on the back of Goodwin's left leg as he felt them.
