00:01Hi, I'm Annie Georgia Greenberg, New York editor of Refinery29, and today we are at R29HQ with Zach Bagans, host
00:09lead investigator for Ghost Adventures on the Travel Channel.
00:13And he is testing for paranormal activity in the office.
00:17Right now.
00:18I'm already getting this.
00:19And there's already stuff around her.
00:22First of all, I believe in it. And second of all, apparently I'm haunted. So hopefully it's by good ghosts.
00:27People can be haunted.
00:31This isn't supposed to be like that. I'm not trying to freak people out.
00:34But what this does is, this is a millimeter. It measures for electromagnetic energy.
00:40Guys.
00:40Point two. You're my trigger object.
00:43Okay.
00:43And I mean that in a paranormal way.
00:46You attract ghosts?
00:46This shouldn't be going off. Oh, yeah. There's a very shit in the woods.
00:50Yeah. I got a lot of ghosts around here.
00:51I've always had bad problems at my house.
00:54Attacks.
00:54So they're bad ghosts?
00:55Severe. Yeah.
00:57Yeah.
00:57Demonic attachment.
00:58And so I've been through this state of oppression.
01:01They can make you sick.
01:02They can kill you.
01:03So it's like I can't have a girlfriend anymore.
01:06Nor was I wanting to really have a girlfriend at my house anymore.
01:09Because, you know, they're leaving my house being attacked.
01:13I'm not doing it.
01:13But it's not your house.
01:14It's you.
01:15It's my attachments.
01:18And I think, you know, some people hear these stories and they get freaked out.
01:21But, hey, it's a scary world we live in and it's a scary world in the afterlife too.
01:25But there is an afterlife.
01:26That's not scary.
01:27What I do for a living.
01:29I've been doing this for so long and I do so many investigations that it's like the movie Ghost with
01:36Patrick Swayze.
01:37Once Patrick Swayze found out that Oda Mae could hear him, like, he never left her alone.
01:43Right.
01:43And that's the same thing with me.
01:44But the thing is with me is, is I document their voices on digital recording devices.
01:49No way.
01:50And through the spirit box.
01:51So you can hear a ghost talk, like, in real time.
01:54Like live.
01:55They'll answer questions.
01:56Is there somebody around Annie right now?
01:59Now there is a lot of people talking, but they are in the background.
02:02So I'll mark that.
02:03What we're listening for are like whispers.
02:06Please answer if you're there.
02:07Please.
02:08Please.
02:09Please.
02:11So you need devices like this that have a microphone inside of it.
02:14That can pick up, like, sub frequencies.
02:16Should we see if there is a spirit around me?
02:18Should we see what it says?
02:20Yeah.
02:20If it says anything?
02:21With that, why don't we head into what I believe is, if there is a haunted spot in R29,
02:27it's without a doubt the quiet room.
02:29It's really creepy in there.
02:30Perfect EVP.
02:31I get scared in there.
02:32I get, I'm totally freaked out.
02:33So let's go in and see.
02:35That sounds like a perfect place for EVP.
02:37What does EVP stand for?
02:38Electronic voice phenomena.
02:40What I'm going to do is, if there is somebody around Annie, I'm going to have
02:44ask that you speak directly into this device.
02:47Please answer if you're there.
02:49Please.
02:50Please.
02:51Please.
02:52Please.
02:53Yeah, welcome.
02:54Yeah.
02:55Please answer if you're there.
02:57Please.
02:58Please.
02:59That's kind of weird.
03:00You can hear there a lot of times, like, yeah, like that usually does not happen.
03:05Thank you, Zach, for bringing to light.
03:08You're welcome.
03:08You know, the paranormal.
03:10Yeah.
03:10I think that we can conclude there's not necessarily a ghost here, but maybe one around me.
03:16Yeah, I don't think there's, yeah.
03:16I don't, I mean, that was unusual, the little frequency burst we got in there.
03:20I usually don't hear that from a digital recorder.
03:23Something was manipulating this that was not electronic.
03:25Right.
03:25But overall, I don't think you guys have any ghosts here to worry about or anything like
03:30that.
03:30Just bosses.
03:31Yeah.
03:32Thank you so much for coming in today.
03:36You're welcome.
03:36And happy Halloween, everyone.
