Ex-Client of ‘Ghost Adventures’ Says Bagans is “Mafia-esque” in the Paranormal Industry

Published

on

We have been following this story ever since the YouTube channel Lainey and Ben started covering it a few weeks back. Ben Hubbard has used his channel to call out Ghost Adventures host Zak Bagans in a bevy of accusations about his conduct and the sway he has over Travel Channel and other paranormal investigative series. These allegations have been backed up by some investigators who worked with Bagans.

But, we are only getting half the story since Bagans himself has not addressed the claims and has been radio silent ever since they came forth. From a public relations standpoint, accusations such as these are harmful, and the host should have made a statement by now. It doesn’t help that, according to some disparaging comments on social media, Bagans’ popularity rating is dropping quicker than his f-bombs.

Now, an actual client of Ghost Adventures has come forward with his own experience, and the story is quite disturbing. Keith Linder, participated in the show back in 2015 as a victim of a haunting in his house. The Ghost Adventures episode in which they investigate Linder’s house is titled Demon in Seattle (Season 10, Ep. 10).

Keith Linder, 2015, Ghost Adventures

In a nutshell (you can watch Linder explain it in his own words below), Linder says that the Ghost Adventures team came to his house to inspect the property after he and Tina, his girlfriend at the time, were experiencing poltergeist activity.

Zak’s team did as they normally do, but this time they found no evidence of a haunting and left the residence empty-handed. Linder says after the episode aired that’s when the online hate started. “We were attacked,” he says, “we were attacked and viewed by many as wasting Ghost Adventures’ time.”

It should be noted that other respectable investigators who came to explore the house actually captured evidence of a haunting since then.

Linder says that Tina took the brunt of the online hatred and had to suffer through “caricatures” of herself, and as Linder says, “racial epithets.” He goes on to say that he reached out to the production company of Ghost Adventures in hopes they would release a statement to quell the social media attacks, but he says they did nothing.

Fanning the flames even further, Linder says his episode was edited in such a way that made him look suspicious and nefarious, or that he was creating a hoax even though the Ghost Adventures team already knew of the home’s previous occupant’s reports of paranormal activities. As stated before, other investigators have substantiated Linder’s claims of a haunting.

That aside, Linder then goes into the recent allegations against Bagans about using clout to cancel other paranormal investigative shows on Travel Channel. He says Bagans plays, and these are his words, “a mafia-esque type role within the paranormal entertainment industry.”

Linder says that after meeting Zak, he, personally, “never viewed Zak as a real, true, ghost or paranormal researcher…he’s a ghost hunter.”

With the accusations mounting and 15 reality shows streaming on the Travel Channel that carry the Bagans name, it is no wonder why people are questioning his dominance over the genre.

And in case you are wondering if you can watch Linder’s Ghost Adventures episode, that season is missing from the line-up on Travel Channel’s menu.

Watch ‘The Burning’ At The Location Where It Was Filmed

Published

on

Fangoria is reporting that fans of the 1981 slasher The Burning will be able to have a screening of the film at the location where it was filmed. The movie is set at Camp Blackfoot which is actually the Stonehaven Nature Preserve in Ransomville, New York.

This ticketed event will take place on August 3. Guests will be able to take a tour of the grounds as well as enjoy some campfire snacks along with the screening of The Burning.

The Burning

The film came out in the early ’80s when teen slashers were being churned out in magnum force. Thanks to Sean S. Cunningham’s Friday the 13th, filmmakers wanted to get in on the low-budget, high-profit movie market and a casket load of these types of films were produced, some better than others.

The Burning is one of the good ones, mostly because of the special effects from Tom Savini who had just come off of his groundbreaking work on Dawn of the Dead and Friday the 13th. He declined to do the sequel because of its illogical premise and instead signed on to do this movie. Also, a young Jason Alexander who would later go on to play George in Seinfeld is a featured player.

Because of its practical gore, The Burning had to be heavily edited before it received an R-rating. The MPAA was under the thumb of protest groups and political bigwigs to censor violent films at the time because slashers were just so graphic and detailed in their gore.

Tickets are $50, and if you want a special t-shirt, that will cost you another $25, You can get all the information by visiting the On Set Cinema webpage.
