[47:50] See You in the Shadows

Charlie is officially on baby watch, so this week it’s just Mel and Lor holding down the haunted fort as they dive into Ghost Adventures Season 30, Episode 9: Buried Souls of Pendleton, Part 2.

Back in Pendleton, Oregon, Zak and the crew head deeper into the underground tunnels, where the history gets heavier, the tech gets weirder, and the evidence gets a whole lot more debatable. Mel and Lor pick apart the second half of the investigation, from the jail cells and spirit box sessions to the isolated video loop nonsense, mysterious footsteps, and Zak suddenly claiming he can smell fear through a respirator.

The episode also brings out the big guns with a LIDAR scan that Ghost Adventures presents as major scientific proof, which of course leads to a full breakdown of what that tech actually does, what it might mean, and whether any of this would hold up outside of paranormal reality TV land.

Along the way, the hosts talk ghost translation apps, suspicious camera moments, Tommy the PA making footsteps upstairs, and whether the Pendleton haunting feels truly paranormal or just very well produced.

If you liked Part One, Part Two is where things get stranger, more technical, and somehow even more chaotic.

[1:22:51] See You In The Shadows

WE'RE BACK!!!! Ghost Adventures heads to Pendleton, Oregon for a chilling two-part investigation beneath the city’s historic streets. In Buried Souls of Pendleton: Part One, Zak Bagans and the crew explore the infamous Pendleton Underground, a hidden network of tunnels tied to racial violence, outlaw justice, brothels, and long-buried secrets of the Wild West.

Paranormal Playback breaks down the episode’s historical claims, including connections to the Oregon Trail, the Hell’s Canyon massacre of Chinese miners, and the forced underground existence of marginalized communities. The hosts examine the Cozy Rooms brothel, discuss Stella Darby’s complicated legacy, and question how much of Zak’s paranormal hypothesis holds up under scrutiny.

As the investigation unfolds, the crew captures unsettling PolterPod responses, EMF spikes, unexplained footsteps, and a controversial moment involving a guest investigator that sparks serious discussion. With new tech introduced, shadowy figures hinted at, and the episode ending on a dramatic cliffhanger, Part One raises more questions than answers about what truly lingers beneath Pendleton — and whether the past ever stays buried.

Charlie breaks down the town’s history, fact-checks claims about the Moaning Caverns and Jamestown Hotel, and analyzes the episode’s most unsettling moments, including a former sheriff’s alleged possession and evidence captured inside the hotel’s basement. With EMF spikes, validated baselines, Polaroid anomalies, and a chilling XLS figure, this becomes one of the most compelling episodes of the season. Charlie also delivers a special “This Old Haunt: Charlie Checks the Facts,” challenging myths while highlighting the real history that makes Jamestown genuinely eerie.

[1:10:30] Thermal Figures, Final Debunking & Beverly’s Farewell

Paranormal Playback covers Ghost Adventures Season 30 Episode 6, Rage on the River. Charlie and Mel break down Ghost Adventures’ investigation of the abandoned River Inn in Reno, NV, a once–luxury hot springs resort now known for its crumbling structure, questionable mob lore, and local ghost stories. The hosts dig into Aaron’s theatrical river entrance, the crew’s early claims of child apparitions and EMF spikes, and the strange audio captured throughout the property.

But nothing compares to the arrival of psychic medium Beverly Pasco, whose frantic energy, dramatic fainting spell, and nonstop commentary turn the episode into instant paranormal-reality TV chaos. The team pairs Zach’s exaggerated storytelling with real history from the River Inn’s long line of bankruptcies, failed redevelopments, and one documented drowning — far from the mob massacres the show hints at.

RIP to Beverly Pasco, who passed away after filming. Her unforgettable appearance remains one of the most iconic (and unhinged) moments in Ghost Adventures history.

Whether you’re a Ghost Adventures fan or just love a good haunted amusement park story, this episode delivers laughs, lore, history, and solid paranormal commentary.

[1:15:50] Haunted or Hoax?

In this technologically challenged episode of Paranormal Playback, Charlie, Melanie, and Lore introduce the episode and then Char & Mel dive into Ghost Adventures Season 30 Episode 5: “Darkness at Belmont Park.” The crew recaps Zak Bagans’ investigation at San Diego’s historic amusement park and it's infamous roller coaster The Giant Dipper, exploring its tragic history, reported hauntings, and the questionable tech the GA team brings along for the ride. From disembodied screams and moving coaster cars to allegedly haunted arcades and that unforgettable “Slender Man” figure caught on camera, the hosts break down every moment with skepticism, humor, and paranormal curiosity.

Mel’s deep-dive This Old Haunt segment uncovers what’s historically true (and what definitely isn’t), while Charlie debates whether the park’s paranormal activity is residual energy, intelligent spirits, or simply Ghost Adventures doing what they do best. Expect EVP analysis, thermal anomalies, creepy kid voices, stuffed-elephant mysteries, and several moments that left the hosts wondering if the tech crew was just messing with Zak.

Whether you’re a Ghost Adventures fan or just love a good haunted amusement park story, this episode delivers laughs, lore, history, and solid paranormal commentary.

From Zak Bagans’ hazmat cosplay to Aaron’s terrifying physical episode, the crew analyzes the investigation moment-by-moment, including EMF spikes, eerie EVPs, chilling thermal captures, and one of the strangest XLS stick-figure interactions Ghost Adventures has shown in years. With a mix of skepticism, humor, and genuine creep-factor, this episode explores what was real, what was questionable, and what definitely sent chills through the team.

[1:28:00] See You in the Shadows

The Paranormal Playback crew, Charlie, Mel, and Lor, return for the highly-anticipated Season 30 premiere of Ghost Adventures, Mountain of Madness Part I. Broadcasting from Casper Mountain, Wyoming, this episode dives deep into UFO sightings, alien abductions, haunted airbase hospitals, and Zak Bagans’ latest over-the-top investigation.

Mel’s This Old Haunt segment unpacks the real-world lore behind Casper Mountain. The hosts debate Boyd Bushman’s alien whistleblower claims, Zak’s obsession with “haunted rocks,” and whether the show’s newest evidence is paranormal, extraterrestrial, or just pure chaos.

With humor, skepticism, and a splash of wine, the trio breaks down every scream, spirit box session, and “electric energy” moment from the Ghost Adventures crew. Buckle up for theories about UFO bases, alien probing, and why every haunted mountain apparently comes with a marble-countertop RV.

Grab your sheet mask and Ectoplasm Green wine, because Mountain of Madness has officially begun.
