Ep 17. Bonnie Springs Ranch

Built in the 1840s, Bonnie Springs Ranch was a popular tourist attraction and animal sanctuary located in Las Vegas. It was a bustling hub of activity with a petting zoo, horseback rides, and a wild west town complete with a saloon and jail. However, since its closure in 2019, it has become a hotbed of paranormal activity.

In this episode of Ghost Adventures, Zak Bagans and his team head to Bonnie Springs Ranch to investigate claims of ghostly encounters and unexplainable occurrences. They meet with the current owner, who tells them how the ranch has a dark history, including tales of murder, suicide, and mysterious deaths.

The team starts their investigation by exploring the main building, where they immediately pick up on strange energy and hear unexplained knocking sounds. As they scan the area with their equipment, they pick up on unusual readings in the air and feel a cold breeze. They then move on to the guest rooms, where they conduct a spirit box session and capture some startling responses.

Next, they visit the petting zoo, where they hear sounds of animals rustling in the bushes. They also experience a feeling of being watched and see some unexplained shadows out of the corner of their eyes. In the wild west town, they investigate the saloon, which has a creepy doll that is believed to be possessed. During the investigation, they see the doll move on its own and hear ghostly whispers.

The team also explores the jail, which was once used to hold prisoners before they were hanged on the property. They use a thermal camera to capture an unexplained heat signature in one of the cells. They also hear strange noises coming from a nearby room and feel a sense of dread.

As they continue their investigation, Zak and the team use a variety of tools and techniques, including EVP recordings, thermal cameras, and dowsing rods to communicate with any spirits that may be present. They also conduct a seance in the main building, hoping to make contact with the spirits that have been haunting the property.

Throughout the episode, the team captures some chilling evidence, including EVPs that say the names of former employees and a figure captured on the thermal camera that appears to be standing in the middle of the abandoned petting zoo. The team also experiences some frightening moments, including equipment failures and sudden temperature drops.

Overall, Ghost Adventures: Bonnie Springs Ranch is a thrilling episode that explores one of the most haunted locations in Las Vegas. It's a must-watch for fans of the paranormal, as Zak and his team uncover some of the mysteries surrounding this once-bustling tourist attraction.
