Ghost Adventures - Scotland

Edinburgh Scotland. The team investigates the Edinburgh vaults under the city's south bridge. The vaults were first used as storage for merchants who had shops just outside Edinburgh castle. Later, the vaults where home to the cities not so fortunate citizens. There are three levels of vaults and the lower you lived, the lower your station in life. The vaults are now home to several spirits which include a woman who has lost a child, a boy named Jack and an evil spirit the guides call Mr. Boots who likes to throw rocks. Zak vows to confront Mr. Boots and make him angry. Any spirit that throws rocks already sounds angry to me! I'm also thinking right after Zak pisses off Mr. Boots, he will scream like a girl and run away like he's done before. During the tour before the lock down (and there are more people around) Zak issues his challenge to Mr. Boots and Aaron sees a shadow walk behind Zak. They also tour a local cemetery said to be the most haunted in the world and Zak offers the following insight: "This place has seen a lot of death". You think?! Nothing like stating the obvious.
Lock down begins and Zak immediately starts provoking Mr. Boots. Nick feels something touch his hair as Zak gets a spike on the EMF detector which turned both guys into drama queens yelling "it touched me!" and jumping around like a couple of teenage girls. After recovering from being touched, Zak goes into Mr. Boots room alone and gets creeped out. He hears a scratch on the wall and freaks out, I actually thought he would pee his pants he couldn't get out of there fast enough. Zak calls for Nick & Aaron who are in another part of the vaults when Nick asks "is that Zak?" Now I ask you, who else would it be? These guys never cease to amaze me with their quit wits. Zak's courage returns when he is joined by Nick & Aaron so he begins to taunt Mr. Boots again. They hear dragging noises but instead of trying to find the source, Zak keeps the camera on his face. The team had set up a camera in the room that the boy spirit, Jack, is often seen. They had put a teddy bear and a ball for him to play with and the camera catches the teddy bear moving on it's own while the EMF detector registered a spike.
I'm real critical about these guys because on one hand they don't come off as being too bright, buy hey, they are on TV and I'm not so they must be doing something right. On the other hand, the show looks to be on the up and up, nothing staged or faked. Since I am really interested in the paranormal, I guess I'll keep watching (and criticizing) Ghost Adventures.
