Ep 5. Dorothea Puente Murder House

In Ghost Adventures season 17 episode 5, the team ventures into the Dorothea Puente Murder House, a property that holds a dark history of murders and sinister activity. Dorothea Puente operated a boarding house for the elderly in the 1980s, where she would murder and bury her victims in the yard. The team, consisting of lead investigator Zak Bagans, Aaron Goodwin, Jay Wasley, and Billy Tolley, seeks to uncover the truth about the horrors that took place in this house.

Upon arriving at the property, the team immediately senses a heavy and oppressive atmosphere, as if some dark presence still lingers there. Zak and his crew interview local residents and people who were familiar with Puente. They learn about her criminal past, her modus operandi, and her eventual arrest and conviction. They also find out that many people who have visited the house have reported strange phenomena, such as unexplained noises, physical touches, and apparitions.

The team is skeptical but determined to uncover any evidence that supports the claims of paranormal activity. They set up their equipment and perform a preliminary investigation. They use EVP (electronic voice phenomena) recording devices, thermal imaging cameras, and EMF (electromagnetic field) meters to detect any anomalies. They also conduct a seance, led by psychic medium Cindy Kaza, in order to make contact with any spirits that might be present.

As the night progresses, the team experiences a series of strange occurrences that seem to defy explanation. They hear footsteps, voices, and music coming from empty rooms. They see shadows, mists, and orbs on their cameras. They feel cold spots, electrical charges, and physical sensations that they can't account for. The psychic medium picks up on the energy of several spirits, including Dorothea Puente herself and some of her victims. She describes their personalities, their emotions, and their intentions.

Zak and the team become more and more convinced that there are indeed ghosts in the house, and that they are trying to communicate with them. They decide to conduct a full lockdown, where they stay inside the house for several hours without any external interference. During the lockdown, they encounter even more bizarre phenomena, such as objects moving on their own, doors slamming shut, and voices speaking in distinct languages and accents.

Despite the danger and fear that they feel, the team remains focused and professional. They collect as much data as possible and analyze it later. They compare notes and theories, and try to come up with a plausible explanation for what they witnessed. They also consult experts in history, psychology, and spirituality, in order to contextualize the events and gain a deeper understanding of the spirits that haunt the house.

In the end, the team concludes that the Dorothea Puente Murder House is indeed a place of great tragedy and darkness. They believe that the spirits of Puente and her victims still reside there, unable to move on or find peace. They hope that their investigation and research will shed some light on this unsolved case, and honor the memory of those who suffered and died within those walls. Ghost Adventures season 17 episode 5 is a chilling and gripping exploration of one of the most notorious murder cases in American history, as well as a fascinating investigation of the paranormal.
