Ep 11. Hoover Damned

In Ghost Hunters season 9 episode 11, titled "Hoover Damned," the team travels to Boulder City, Nevada to investigate claims of paranormal activity at the iconic Hoover Dam. The dam, which was completed in 1935, was built during the Great Depression and has been the subject of many ghost stories over the years. The team is eager to investigate these claims and see if they can uncover any evidence of the paranormal.

The episode begins with the team arriving at the Hoover Dam and meeting with their client, who works for the Bureau of Reclamation. The client explains that employees at the dam have reported strange incidents, including hearing footsteps, doors slamming, and seeing the apparition of a man in a hardhat. The team is excited to start their investigation and begins by setting up cameras throughout the dam's various tunnels and rooms.

As they explore the dam, the team encounters a number of strange occurrences. They hear strange noises and voices, and their equipment picks up several anomalous readings. At one point, a door slams shut on its own, which causes the team to jump and investigate further. However, they are unable to find any logical explanation for the door closing.

Throughout the investigation, the team also conducts a number of EVP (Electronic Voice Phenomena) sessions, asking questions in hopes of capturing a response from any possible spirits. They review the recordings afterwards and are surprised to hear several clear responses, including what sounds like an answer to the question "Did someone die here?"

As the investigation continues, the team decides to hold a seance in one of the dam's tunnels. They sit in a circle and attempt to communicate with any spirits that may be present. While the seance is in progress, the team experiences a sudden drop in temperature, which they believe could be a sign of paranormal activity.

The team also attempts to replicate some of the reported sightings and sounds by recreating the conditions in which they occurred. For example, they try walking through the tunnels in the same way as the reported footsteps, in hopes of determining if they can reproduce the sound. Although they are unsuccessful in replicating all of the experiences reported by the staff at the dam, they do manage to capture several instances of unexplained noises and voices.

Overall, "Hoover Damned" is a compelling episode filled with eerie experiences and intriguing investigations. The team is clearly passionate about their work and is dedicated to exploring the unknown. The episode is a testament to their hard work and dedication, as well as to the enduring mystery of the paranormal.
