Nick Groff happens to be the co-creator of his show ‘Ghost Adventures’ on Travel Channel. Zak Bagans had revealed that his interest in investigating the paranormal was aroused when he had a face-to-face encounter with the spirit of a suicidal woman residing in his former building apartment in Trenton, Michigan.

He teamed up with Aaron Goodwin and Nick Groff in 2004 and made a documentary film titled ‘Ghost Adventures. He also started the TV series ‘Ghost Adventures’ in 2008 which is running still and is in the 11^th season.

This series starts with Zak Bagans’ narration:

“There are things in this world that we will never fully understand. We want answers. We have worked years to build our credibility; our reputation. Working along side the most renowned professionals in the field; capturing ground-breaking proof of the paranormal. This is our evidence; our Ghost Adventures”.

Zak Bagans also went on to make the spin-off ‘Paranormal challenge’. In 2014, he also started ‘Ghost Adventures-Aftershocks’ and in 2016 he started a new series titled ‘Demon Possessions’.

Zak Bagans has also authored 3 books on this science of supernatural-Dark World: Into the shadows with the lead investigator of the Ghost Adventures (2011), Darkness Optional: The Holy Truth (2013) and I am haunted: Living Life through the dead (2014).

He has however been criticized by paranormal enthusiasts for his aggressive and confronting moves toward the ghosts. In an interview, Zak Bagans mentioned that he has changed a lot since his first encounter with the spirit.

He says:

“…I stopped provoking demons”.

Bagans also stated that he is now more cautious and does not battle with demons on a physical platform or verbally. He said that he is a little more combative only with the bad spirits.
