41.04"Sedamsville Rectory and Winchester Mystery House"June 14, 2014

Zak reviews the rectory evidence, from the GA's visit in 2012 (Season 7). Since then, one of the caretakers grew stronger in faith. The other one was, and still is, vulnerable to demonic attacks and possessions. Also, since this episode was aired, various ghost-hunting groups tried to gain permission to enter the house. Most of them were denied of that chance and it is unknown how many of them did get permission in the end. Sedamsville Rectory interviewees: Terrie Scott and Tim Brazeal.[5]

Zak reviewed a few sections of paranormal activity at the Winchester Mystery House from Season 5 (2011). The house itself, before the GA investigation, was not haunted as much. After that, it seems that paranormal activities in the house has increased in strength. Winchester Mystery House interviewees: Suzanne Hursh and Chris Maggard. Chris Turner taped a video message to Zak about the swinging chandelier at one of the rooms.
51.05"Palmer House and Mustang Ranch"June 28, 2014

Zak reviewed some previous evidence from the GA's Season 7 (2012) investigation of the Palmer House Hotel. However, the owner of the hotel did not reveal to GA about a crucial piece of evidence that only she knew at the time. It was about Sinclair Lewis, the first American to be awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1930, was an on-and-off employee of the hotel in the past. According to the owner, she was confronted by the spirit of Sinclair Lewis, telling her that he hid one of his manuscripts in the basement walls of the hotel. If this rumor is true, it would change the literacy world, according to Zak. While all this was revealed to Zak later, a psychic told him about a demonic entity that was shaped like a wolf, with red eyes, that also haunts the hotel's basement. She fears for the owner's safety, but the owner insisted to Zak that she must carry on her duties as owner of the hotel. Palmer House interviewees: Kelley Freese (owner) and Chris Schneider (psychic).[6]

Zak reviewed some evidence, from the GA's investigation of the Mustang Ranch in Season 8 (2013). After that GA investigation, it seems that the spirits have grown in strength there. The new evidence somewhat revealed (but not confirmed) that there is a friendly spirit protecting one of the female employees from the other spirits. The manager of the place mentioned that the ladies working there do not want to enter Room B1, no matter what. Mustang Ranch interviewees: Tara Cann (manager), José Carranza (an employee), Jan Tufford (psychic), "Lucy" (another employee), and "Phoenix" (working girl).
61.06"Yorktown Hospital and Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum"September 20, 2014

Zak talked to Mike Henson about the evidence GAC captured back in 2011 (Season 4). Also, a small clip about a spirit named "Doug", was shown as well. However, some time after that GA investigation, it seems that some locals did not liked the idea of having outsiders poking around inside the hospital at night. In an alleged reprisal against Mike, someone poisoned and killed his pet donkey, Spirit, with an unknown substance. Before that incident and after the GA investigation, there were a few break-ins at the site. According to Bryan Bernier, he thinks that Mike is still bonded with the spirits there. In an unusual twist, he mentioned that he wanted to have physical contact with them for personal evidence. For example, there is supposedly a girl ghost named "Stacy" that roams the abandoned hospital that Bryan wanted to have contact with. Yorktown Hospital interviewees: Mike Henson (caretaker of the hospital) and Bryan Bernier (paranormal investigator).[7]

In the second half of this episode, Zak reviewed some evidence from GA's only live event, from 2009, of the Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum. Also, there was a few moments from the show, Paranormal Challenge, that was shown to Rebecca Gleason. Unlike the Yorktown Hospital situation, the asylum's reputation grew in popularity, after both the GA's and Paranormal Challenge episodes were aired. Overall, it has become an attraction for ghost-hunting enthusiasts every weekend. Some time, after the two episodes were aired, a spirit named "Big Jim" has supposedly came into prominence in the asylum. Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum interviewees: Rebecca Gleason (owner), "Copperhead" (employee), and Paul Cipar (employee).
71.07"Lizzie Borden and Black Swan Inn"September 27, 2014

"Warning! This program contains adult topics and dramatizations of real events that may be disturbing to some viewers. Viewer discretion is advised."

The first half of this episode started with Zak explaining small details about the Lizzie Borden House, with clips from GA's Season 5 (2011) investigation. However, the interview with psychic medium, Liz Nowicki, led to Zak stating that this was the most controversial one for him so far. As the overall interview went on, it became very dark very quickly. Some of the details mentioned to Zak here is too gruesome to post here. Suffice to say, the women were attacked by an unknown evil entity. Unfortunately, there were only circumstantial evidence that the evil entity could be Lizzie Borden's father. Lizzie Borden interviewees: Lee-Ann Wilbur (owner), Liz Nowicki (psychic medium), and Eleanor Thibault (tour guide).[8]

The second half has Zak reviewing some evidence, from the GA's Black Swan Inn investigation in Season 8 (2013). An intriguing moment that was captured in the spirit box then was the code word from the owner's mother: Bossier. After the GA investigation of the house, the owner and her children seemed to have various amount of attachments to the place. For example, the daughter would sit up on her bed at night and sleep talk in a "foreign language." On the other hand, the son gets into trouble at times, but does not remember what happened to him. Also, some entity does not want the son to exit his bedroom. After the children left the interview area, Aaron Goodwin and Zak talked about their concerns for the children's welfare. Black Swan Inn interviewees: Jo Ann Rivera (owner and mother), Nathaniel Rivera (son), and Madison Maze (daughter).

Season 2

Episode Code Title Original Airdate
82.01"Zozo Demon and Katie's Bar"March 14, 2015

Zak reviewed GA's evidence about the Zozo Demon from the 2014, Season 10, episode. One of the shocking news here was that Darren's now ex-wife had contact with Zozo behind his back, before and after the GA episode. Also, Darren mentioned of two more entities amongst them were named "Mama" and "Zaza" (this was not detailed in the original GA episode). On the sad note, the ex-wife is now in jail for assault and is serving a lengthy prison term. On top of that, Darren has been receiving not-so-nice remarks, via Twitter, from some people because of his continuing research about Zozo.

With Tee Jay Marshall, however, the interview did not start well. Tee Jay was not pleased to see Zak again, but he came to Las Vegas anyway. On one point, Tee Jay asked a question back to Zak whether he himself should had a spiritual cleansing, too. It seemed that an evil entity followed him home, after the GA episode. His daughter, Makayla, was attacked by this entity. Afterwards, Zak made an appointment with Lisa Ghariani for them, to spiritually cleanse them and their house. Zozo Demon interviewees: Darren Evans (former resident of house infected with Zozo), Tee Jay Marshall (repairman), Makayla Marshall (daughter), and Lisa Ghariani (psychic medium).[9]

For the Katie's Bar section, Zak interviewed the owner about what was discovered, during the GA investigation. However, Brian was still skeptical about the GA's findings that occurred there. One of his employees said to Zak that the bar became a hostile place, after the GA investigation. From patrons being angry for no or little reason to constant bar fights, the place got dark spiritually. Also, like Tee Jay Marshall, Brian had an evil entity followed him home. After hearing that, Zak made an appointment with a local shaman to cleanse Brian of this entity. Katie's Bar interviewees: Brian Karppinen (owner), Meagan and Melissa Flaherty (employees), Pat Guetter (Brian's girlfriend), and Khi Armand (shaman).
92.02"Bannack Ghost Town and Thornhaven Manor"March 21, 2015

Zak reviewed GA's Bannack Ghost Town evidence, from GA's Season 9 (2014) episode. The interview goes well at the beginning. Later, Zak was not happy with Francisco's addiction to the ghost town. More so, it seemed to be that a spirit named "Dorothy" followed Francisco home. He described that, about 4:30am, his son would be "playing with an imaginary friend." Zak was even more surprised, when Jessica told him about Francisco having nightmares. On top of that, she does not believe in ghosts and other paranormal phenomenon. The son told Zak that "Dorothy" would wake him and "said" that she wanted to play. Zak was astonished about how accurate Geno explained about "Dorothy" in general. More so, Geno would be "talking" to his late grandfather (Francisco's father), too. Zak suspected that Geno may have a potential to become a psychic medium. Bannack Ghost Town interviewees: Francisco Ferreyra (paranormal investigator), Jessica Ferreyra (Francisco's wife), and Geno Ferreyra (son).

Zak reviewed GA's Thornhaven Manor evidence, from GA's Season 8 (2013) episode. Zak was puzzled about how could the owner buy the manor, but never lived there at night. Even more odd, the former owners of the manor would not say anything about it. The realtor, who sold Thornhaven Manor to Steven, became a one-time spokesperson for them. Before that, a lady wanted to buy the house. When the previous owners asked about whether she has children, she answered "yes" and they told her politely to leave the premises and never come back. However, she got curious and went back there, with her son. As she went to look around the house, she witnessed an entity with red eyes. Her son saw the red eyes, too, and tried to save his mother. He got trapped in his mother's van and got scratched on his back, after he was able to exit the van. They are not sure, if an entity followed them home after that incident. A PI came to Thornhaven in 2012, with her mother and her camera. She took an unusual photo that shows herself as being pregnant. On top of that, a "spirit" is seen in the same photo between the two ladies. New evidence has surfaced there by a neighbor from the area. It turned out to be a tunnel that was part of the Underground Railroad. Here, Steven interviewed Richard Wright about his experiences, when he opened the tunnel. Thornhaven Manor interviewees: Steven Miller (owner), Tiffany Johnson (eyewitness), Caleb York (Tiffany's son), Jada Craig (paranormal investigator), and Richard Wright (eyewitness).
