WE'RE BACK!!!! Ghost Adventures heads to Pendleton, Oregon for a chilling two-part investigation beneath the city’s historic streets. In Buried Souls of Pendleton: Part One, Zak Bagans and the crew explore the infamous Pendleton Underground, a hidden network of tunnels tied to racial violence, outlaw justice, brothels, and long-buried secrets of the Wild West.

Paranormal Playback breaks down the episode’s historical claims, including connections to the Oregon Trail, the Hell’s Canyon massacre of Chinese miners, and the forced underground existence of marginalized communities. The hosts examine the Cozy Rooms brothel, discuss Stella Darby’s complicated legacy, and question how much of Zak’s paranormal hypothesis holds up under scrutiny.

As the investigation unfolds, the crew captures unsettling PolterPod responses, EMF spikes, unexplained footsteps, and a controversial moment involving a guest investigator that sparks serious discussion. With new tech introduced, shadowy figures hinted at, and the episode ending on a dramatic cliffhanger, Part One raises more questions than answers about what truly lingers beneath Pendleton — and whether the past ever stays buried.

Charlie breaks down the town’s history, fact-checks claims about the Moaning Caverns and Jamestown Hotel, and analyzes the episode’s most unsettling moments, including a former sheriff’s alleged possession and evidence captured inside the hotel’s basement. With EMF spikes, validated baselines, Polaroid anomalies, and a chilling XLS figure, this becomes one of the most compelling episodes of the season. Charlie also delivers a special “This Old Haunt: Charlie Checks the Facts,” challenging myths while highlighting the real history that makes Jamestown genuinely eerie.

[1:10:30] Thermal Figures, Final Debunking & Beverly’s Farewell

Paranormal Playback covers Ghost Adventures Season 30 Episode 6, Rage on the River. Charlie and Mel break down Ghost Adventures’ investigation of the abandoned River Inn in Reno, NV, a once–luxury hot springs resort now known for its crumbling structure, questionable mob lore, and local ghost stories. The hosts dig into Aaron’s theatrical river entrance, the crew’s early claims of child apparitions and EMF spikes, and the strange audio captured throughout the property.

But nothing compares to the arrival of psychic medium Beverly Pasco, whose frantic energy, dramatic fainting spell, and nonstop commentary turn the episode into instant paranormal-reality TV chaos. The team pairs Zach’s exaggerated storytelling with real history from the River Inn’s long line of bankruptcies, failed redevelopments, and one documented drowning — far from the mob massacres the show hints at.

RIP to Beverly Pasco, who passed away after filming. Her unforgettable appearance remains one of the most iconic (and unhinged) moments in Ghost Adventures history.

Whether you’re a Ghost Adventures fan or just love a good haunted amusement park story, this episode delivers laughs, lore, history, and solid paranormal commentary.
