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.
00:13Hello. And he is testing for paranormal activity in the office. Right now.
00:18I'm already getting this. And 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 this. I'm not trying to freak people out.
00:34But what this does is, this is a millimeter. It measures for electromagnetic energy.
00:41You're my trigger object.
00:43Okay.
00:43And I mean that in a paranormal way.
00:46Do you attract ghosts?
00:46This shouldn't be going off. Oh, yeah. There's a very shit in the woods.
00:49Yeah. I got a lot of ghosts around here.
00:51I've always had bad problems at my house.
00:54So they're bad ghosts?
00:55Severe. Yeah. Yeah. Demonic attachment.
00:58And so I've been through this state of oppression. They 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.
01:13But it's not your house. It's you.
01:14Yeah. It'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. That's not scary.
01:27What I do for a living. I've been doing this for so long and I do so many investigations that
01:33it's like the movie Ghost with Patrick Swayze.
01:37Once Patrick Swayze found out that Oda Mae could hear him, like, he never left her alone.
01:42Right.
01:43And that's the same thing with me. But the thing is with me is, is I document their voices on
01:48digital recording devices.
01:50And through the spirit box. So you can hear a ghost talk, like, in real time. Like, live. They'll answer
01:55questions.
01:56Is there somebody around Annie right now?
01:59Now, there is a lot of people talking, but they are in the background. So I'll mark that.
02:03What we're listening for are, like, whispers.
02:05Please answer if you're there. Please. Please. Please.
02:11So you need devices like this that have a microphone inside of it that can pick up, like, sub frequencies.
02:16Should we see if there is a spirit around me? Should we see what it says? If it says anything?
02:21With that, why don't we head into what I believe is if there is a haunted spot in R29, it's
02:27without a doubt the quiet room.
02:29It's really creepy in there. I get scared in there. I'm totally freaked out. So let's go in and see.
02:34Great place for EVP.
02:37What does EVP stand for? Electronic voice phenomena.
02:40What I'm going to do is, if there is somebody around Annie, I'm going to ask that you speak directly
02:46into this device.
02:47Please answer if you're there. Please. Please. Please.
02:52There's some... Yeah, welcome there.
02:55Please answer if you're there. Please. Please.
02:59That's kind of weird. You can hear there a lot of times, like, yeah.
03:02Like, 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, I don't... I mean, that was unusual, the little frequency burst we got in
03:19there.
03:20I usually don't hear that from a digital recorder. Something 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 that.
03:30Just bosses.
03:31Yeah.
03:32Thank you so much for coming in today.
03:35You're welcome.
03:36And happy Halloween, everyone.
03:37Happy Halloween, everyone.
