Ghost Adventures - West Palm Beach, FL

The jury is still out on this show. I've been so spoiled by Ghost Hunters that I expect all investigators to be like them. These guys seem to be afraid of their own shadows, yell at each other and say 'dude' so much that I think they have forgotten each others names. Their gimmick is getting "locked down" in the property they investigate, which really didn't help much since in one episode since they got so scared they jumped out of a second floor window! Ok, I've had my say, so without further ado, it's on to West Palm Beach, Florida and the Riddle house.
The Riddle house was once used as a funeral parlor then became a private residence. It is now part of a village called Yesteryear Village. They did not go into detail about this Yesteryear Village and I thought it was a retirement village until I saw the placards in front of each building. Reports here are that unattended ladders get moved, knocked over or just plain disappear. A man hung himself in the attic using a ladder which seems to explain the ladder thing. People have been hit by objects and had their hair pulled. American flags also get moved or disappear. Zak get a psychic, Shiela, to go through the house. Shiela does not have knowledge of the house but gets the name of the man who hung himself, Joseph, and why he hung himself. They go into the attic where Shiela describes Joseph and says that he will be a problem for the team because he doesn't like men.
Lock down gets underway and Zak starts provoking Joseph right away. He leaves a wooden board at the top of the steps for Joseph to throw. It doesn't take long and the board comes down a few stairs. Zak continues to talk a big game in the attic. After provoking the spirit in the attic, Zak leaves poor Aaron up there by himself. What did Aaron ever do to you Zak?! Aaron is clearly scared to death but tries talking to Joseph and gets more and more nervous to the extent that he closes his eyes while he asks his questions. I guess that's like pulling the covers over your head. Downstairs, Zak & Nick hear a loud noise in the kitchen. Zak goes in like gangbusters demanding to know who made that noise, not likely he will get an answer. They didn't find the source of the noise but a flag, which was leaning in a corner in another room, falls across a doorway. Back in the attic, Aaron keeps chastising himself for asking Joseph stupid questions. He hears a noise behind him and that was all she wrote! He runs screaming from the attic. After reviewing the tape, you can clearly see a bird cage fall over behind Aaron. This team doesn't do any review, you have to catch that as they go, if there is anything. Like I said, I'll watch again, maybe because there really isn't anything on Friday night. If they could just tone down saying 'dude' so much.........Double D
