Im Standing On WOOD!

Kentucky Slave House… This place has been through a lot. Its been through murders and of course… Slavery. I would have to say, this episode is my favorite because I hate slavery and I’m totally against it. And that is also why Abe Lincoln is my favorite president, but anyway this place is very important.



Kentucky Slave House



The Kentucky Slave house is owned by Jerry Gore, a descendant of a former slave. He has turned his house into a museum of the old slavery, so we can remember America’s biggest sin. Jerry is a HUGE believer in God. Jerry sings these beautiful songs. One song goes, “Keep your hand on the plow and hold on, hold on” That song means that when the goings get tough, just keep your head held high and you can get through it. Some of his examples were, if you see your brother, sister, or parent being sold to a new slave owner, you just got to keep going through this rough part in their life. Jerry actually helped solve a mystery for Zak, Nick, and Aaron. Aaron got an EVP that said, “…I’m standing on wood…” “…on WOOD…” It was a female and then a male. When the Ghost Adventures Crew showed Jerry this after the lockdown, he said it was a song. He said that these slaves loved nature and what Mother Nature did. Wood is on trees and trees are nature and that saying of the EVP was a song.

Now, Zak, Nick, and Aaron were interviewing Nachee and Asonacade. When Nachee was talking about what she experienced that happened to her down stairs, this door behind them slowly crept shut. When Nick told Zak about the door, Zak got up to check for any air vents or drafts, but there was nothing. That was unexplained.

Nachee and Asonacade went downs stairs with the crew and started to pour libations. The people that came to watch were Zak, Nick, Aaron, Jerry, and a lady that sang a song in the episode. Pouring libations is when you pour a liquid; in this case it was water, to honor the spirits that once lived down in the basement. Zak said it was VERY emotional and he has never felt that way before.

When the locked down started, everything was calm, but then everything started to get all wound up. The room where a man committed suicide had a rem-pod in it and it started going crazy. Then, When Zak was sitting by a hole in the wall that led to the attic, Aaron heard someone running up the stairs. Zak next went down to the basement and said to some trapped spirits, “No more violence, No more pain.” And then the spirit said, “Just give us a chance.” This proves that the spirit is trapped and scared of what might happen next.

These spirits in the Kentucky slave house have been through a lot. Zak, Nick, and Aaron would know when they can feel the spirits feelings, like Zak at Povaglia or Preston Castle… but that’s for another time (:. Like I said before, it’s not easy being a ghost hunter.

Most Important... The Thing that Catch the Ghost

There’s always one thing you need on an investigation, a spirit device. The Ghost Adventures Crew is always armed with Mel Meters and Rem Pods and more importantly, Digital Recorders.

Digital Recorders are probably the most important spirit device there is. This device can record spirit voices. Zak asked the spirit, “Out of Zak, Nick, or Aaron, who do you not like?” The spirit Nina came in and said, “Aaron!” That is called an EVP or Electronic Voice Phenomena. I would have to say, Ghost Adventures probably uses it the most.

The Mel Meter has to be one of my favorites. This device can detect a spirit's temperature and “Force field” I guess you could say. The Mel Meter will have a loud beeping sound when a spirit or “thing” comes in contact with the antenna. The bar range will also glow up and that probably has to be the best part… and the beeping. Gary Galka made the Mel Meter, and the way he came up with the name is kind of a sad story. His daughter died in a car accident and her nickname was Mel. He made this devise and went to where she had died and got readings of her. And that’s how the Mel Meter got its name.

The next device is also one of my favorites. It’s called the Ovilus II. This device could be one of the very important devises. When Zak had the Ovilus II on, he was asking questions and finding very odd answers, but they all lead to the 2^nd slot in the graveyard. They found out very important information about this lockdown. This device has a data base that has all the words in the dictionary that a spirit could pick. When the spirit picks a word, the device will have the word on the devise and it will say the word out loud. This device is very important in some situations.

This device was VERY important in the episode of “Return to The Goldfield Hotel”. This device is called the PX devise. It’s a devise kind of like the Ovilus II. It has a data base that has many words, but this device doesn’t have the word on the device, it is only spoken. When Zak, Nick, Aaron, Mark Constantino, and Debbie Constantino had the device in the room where Elizabeth died. They were getting voices like there’s no tomorrow. They were listening and they were getting all these words like; Help, run… and so on. Then finally the device stopped and there was a voice that made a weird growl. This shows that there might be someone very scary around.

The last device I’m going to talk about is probably the second most important device in a ghost hunting devise book… The Spirit Box. This device also has a word data base, but it skips radio stations every 1 second. When people get full sentences out of the devise, they get surprised because it skips that many frequencies. A big moment this device was used was when The Ghost Adventures Crew went to the Old Charleston Jail. There is this spirit named Linvinya and she hanged herself off the gallows. Before she did this she said, “If anyone has a message for the devil, tell me now, for I will be meeting him in a moment”. Zak was inside one of the big rooms in the jail and said, “Linvinya, when you were getting hung at the gallows, you said, “If anyone has a message for the…?” and then through the spirit box she said, “The Devil.” That was VERY important and accurate.

Zak, Nick, and Aaron go on so many ghost adventures and some they do just for fun. Using all of the equipment is very important and like I said before… It’s not easy being a ghost hunter.
