Ep 3. Nevada State Prison

Ghost Adventures is an American reality television series that follows ghost hunters Zak Bagans, Aaron Goodwin, Billy Tolley, and Jay Wasley as they investigate reportedly haunted locations across the United States.

In season 16, the team ventures to the Nevada State Prison in Carson City, Nevada for the third episode of the season. The prison, which was operational from 1862 until 2012, has a long and dark history of violence, death, and despair.

The episode begins with an overview of the prison's history, including a number of riots and violent incidents that took place throughout its more than 150-year history. The team speaks with former guards and prisoners, who recount tales of ghostly encounters and unexplained phenomena that they experienced while inside the prison.

As the team begins their investigation, they split up into different areas of the prison, each armed with a variety of ghost hunting equipment, including EVP (electronic voice phenomenon) recorders, EMF (electromagnetic field) detectors, and thermal imaging cameras. They begin by exploring the main cell block, where prisoners were housed in cramped and overcrowded conditions, often for years or even decades at a time.

As they wander through the dimly lit cells, they capture a number of intriguing EVPs, including what sounds like a growling voice and the sound of someone tapping on the walls. They also capture a number of strange EMF readings, which they attribute to possible ghostly activity.

The investigation then moves to the prison's chapel, where Zak and Aaron attempt to make contact with the spirits of former prisoners who were executed by hanging in that very room. They conduct a séance, and Zak claims to have a direct conversation with one of the spirits, who reveals his name and the reason why he was put to death.

The team also investigates the prison's infirmary and the area where death row inmates were kept. In these areas, they capture additional EVPs and EMF readings, and they use thermal imaging cameras to try to capture any visual evidence of ghostly activity.

Throughout the episode, the team demonstrates their dedication to the investigation, spending hours inside the dark and creepy prison, often in complete silence, as they wait for any signs of paranormal activity. They also speak with a number of local historians and paranormal experts, who provide additional insight into the prison's history and the potential causes behind the reported hauntings.

As the investigation comes to a close, the team gathers together to discuss their findings and review the evidence that they collected. They discuss a number of unexplained occurrences, including a shadowy figure that appears on one of their thermal imaging cameras and a disembodied voice that they captured on an EVP recorder.

Overall, the Nevada State Prison episode of Ghost Adventures is a fascinating and chilling exploration of one of America's most notorious prisons. The team's dedication to the investigation is evident throughout the episode, and their findings will leave viewers wondering about the true nature of the paranormal.
