Some of the most popular episodes include Season 10, Episode 4 “Island of Dolls,” Season 13’s Halloween Special “Route 666,” and Season 3, Episode 3 “Poveglia Island.”
“Route 666” occurred in Texas, while the other two took place outside the United States. “Island of Dolls” was located at a Mexico tourist attraction and “Poveglia Island” was set off the coast of Venice, Italy.
Each episode garners hundreds of thousands of views, but the show may be headed toward its end.
Is The Long-Running Ghost Show Coming To An End?
More recent episodes seem geographically focused on the American Southwest. Fans of the show took to Reddit to discuss whether or not this means the end of the long-running ghost program.
“It just seems like they’re gonna eventually run out of locations in that region and either stop the show or Zak will be forced to move more eastward to investigate for the sake of the show,” the original poster wrote.
It is known that Zak Bagans does not fly. He will only travel to places where he can drive and it seems to be limiting where the show can go.

“Yep. It’s crazy that he has a huge hit show and won’t fly. They should make him fly. Hypnotize him, drug him, I don’t care… just get him off the west coast,” one fan commented.
Other people theorized that Zak wouldn’t allow the other members of the team to lead Ghost Adventures. “Zak would never allow anyone but him to be the lead investigator. I wouldn’t be surprised if the other three have signed contracts saying they can’t have their own shows unless he’s involved somehow,” one person said.
The overall consensus among fans is that Zak’s refusal to fly and the focus on the Southwest U.S. will lead to the end of the show. However, Ghost Adventures continues to have 18.9 times the demand of the average show in the states.
You can watch the latest Ghost Adventures episodes on Wednesdays at 10 p.m. EST on Discovery. It is available to stream on Discovery+. You can also rent or purchase episodes on Amazon, Vudu, Google Play, IVA, and iTunes.
