TRAVEL CHANNEL PREMIERES ALL-NEW EPISODE OF
“GHOST ADVENTURES” VISITING SHANGHAI TUNNELS IN PORTLAND, OREGON
ON FRIDAY, MARCH 9 AT 9:00 PM ET/PT
Travel Channel returns with season six of the popular
paranormal travel series, “Ghost Adventures” on Friday, March 9
at 9:00 p.m., ET/PT. Investigative duo, Zak Bagans and Nick Groff, along
with equipment technician Aaron Goodwin, explore some of the most haunted
locations in America to unearth the trapped souls and dark energy within.
This season, the team visits spots that have never been explored by the Ghost
Adventures team including the Shanghai Tunnels in Portland, OR, the
Peabody-Whitehead Mansion in Denver, CO, as well as the family home of
paranormal equipment inventor Gary Galka in East Granby, CT, where business
gets personal as they help one family make contact with their dead daughter in
a deeply personal story of love, loss and a haunted house. Each of the
seven, one-hour episodes starts with an in-depth profile of a location’s haunted
past. Once the story is told, viewers follow the investigative team as
they survey every nook and cranny while conducting scientific experiments while
being locked down overnight.
The new season kicks off with the trio taking a deep dive
into the dingy Shanghai Tunnels to unearth the spirits that still haunt Hobo’s
Restaurant & Lounge in Portland, Oregon. They meet Shanghai Tunnels
curator, Michael Jones, who gives insight on the tragic history of these
passageways. In the 1850’s, Portland sent many ships across the Pacific
to trade goods. In order to man the ships with an adequate crew, people
were “shanghaied,” or kidnapped and sold illegally to trading ships. The
tunnels were used to hold them and later transport them to the harbors. Andrew
Guthrie, owner of Hobo’s, shows the Ghost Adventures team the trap doors that
were once used to trick unsuspecting locals into the tunnels. One of
the most tragic stories involves the legend of Nina, a former prostitute who
knew about the horrors of the underground. Nina shared these stories with
a local missionary, and they in turn went to the cops. The next day, she
was found dead at the bottom of an elevator shaft.
The Ghost Adventures team begins their lockdown inside the
Shanghai Tunnels at dawn. They descend into the dark tunnels, and their
equipment starts to record audio of a female voice. Zak first believes
this voice is Nina’s spirit, but after he probes further, it seems to be one of
a different prostitute. Then, they record audio of a male that accompanies
the initial female voice. Later on, a door rattles unprovoked. As
Zak, Nick and Aaron further investigate, they hear phantom footsteps.
Meanwhile, one of the static cameras record visual evidence of an unexplained
mist. Finally, the guys split up across the tunnels. Zak captures
an anomaly in his thermal imaging camera moving towards Aaron in the next room
over.
