Zak, Nick and Aaron kick off the 3rd Season of Ghost Adventures
Premiering Friday November 6 with a 90 minute episode on the
Travel Channel !!!
The LOCKDOWN -> Poveglia Island - The Island of the Dead - Venice, Italy
Poveglia is a small island floating in the lagoons of Venice. In stark
contrast to the beauty of its surroundings, the island is a festering
blemish. The waves reluctantly lapping its darkened shores will often
carry away the polished remains of human bones. When the first outbreak
of bubonic plague swept through Europe, the number of dead and dying in
the city of Venice became unbearable. The bodies were piling up, the
stench was oppressive, and something had to be done. The local
authorities decided to use Poveglia as a dumping ground for the
diseased bodies.
The dead were hauled to the island and dumped in large pits or burned on
huge bonfires. As the plague tightened its grip, people panicked, and
those showing the slightest symptoms of the Black Death were dragged
screaming from their homes. These living victims, including children
and babies, were taken to the island and thrown into the pits of rotting
corpses, where they were left to die in agony. As many as 160,000
tormented bodies were disposed of over the years.
Cant wait until November 6 then watch the Ghost Adventures Crew on their
Live 7 HOUR televised LOCKDOWN October 30th!!!
On Oct. 30 the Ghost Adventures crew -- Zak, Nick and Aaron -- will lock
themselves in one of America's most haunted locations for the most
ambitious LIVE paranormal investigation ever attempted.
Built during the Civil War, the Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum in
Weston, WV, is the second largest, hand-cut stone building in the US,
second only to the Kremlin in the world. For decades its massive walls
housed the insane, the neglected and the unwanted. Patient-on-patient
violence was common. Inmates were subjected to brutal medical procedures.
The asylum was finally shut down in 1994 and stands empty today.
Even while operational, there were much reported paranormal activity in
the asylum's 2-1/2 miles of corridors. Visitors were grabbed from behind
and dragged into rooms. Mysterious figures darted through walls. Today,
those brave enough to venture inside report hearing the incoherent
screams of the insane.
Ghost Adventures will have unprecedented access to the entire asylum from
the seclusion cells where the most violent patients were shackled to the
medical center where hundreds of primitive ice-pick lobotomies were
performed.
As always the team will be padlocked inside the facility, unable to
escape as they record their experiences. To aid in their investigation,
they will be calling on both paranormal and technical experts.
Viewers at home will have complete access to the investigation on air
and online as it occurs. They can monitor webcams throughout the
building, chat with the guys during the lockdown, post messages on the
bulletin board and send mobile text messages.
