Ep 10. Idaho State Reform School

The Ghost Adventures team visits Idaho State Reform School in season 20 episode 10 to investigate the reports of paranormal activity in the abandoned building. The reform school, which operated from 1903 to 1975, was known for its harsh disciplinary measures and rumors of physical abuse.

As soon as the team arrives, they begin to feel a strong energy in the air. The school's dark past is palpable, and Zak Bagans, Aaron Goodwin, Billy Tolley, and Jay Wasley are immediately on high alert. The team begins their investigation in the basement, where they hear strange noises and pick up on EVP (Electronic Voice Phenomena) that seem to be coming from a spirit named "Timothy."

As they move upstairs to the main floor, the activity only intensifies. They explore the classrooms, dormitories, and even the decrepit and dilapidated showers, where they reveal some shocking evidence of paranormal activity. Billy Tolley's audio equipment captures strange whispers and unexplainable noises, and the team's video equipment captures fleeting glimpses of shadow figures and ghostly orbs.

The team also experiences physical sensations, with Zak Bagans describing a feeling of being "punched in the gut" by an unseen force. They also encounter a door that seems to open and close on its own, and chairs that move without explanation.

As they delve deeper into the history of the school, the team learns of the brutal punishments that were used to discipline the students. They hear stories of a boy who was beaten to death in the boiler room, and they explore the area in search of signs of lingering spirits. They also investigate the school's isolation cells, where students were locked up for days or even weeks on end. The dark energy of these cells is intense, and the team experiences some of the most compelling evidence of the entire investigation in these isolated spaces.

Throughout their investigation of Idaho State Reform School, the team uses a variety of tools and techniques to communicate with any spirits that may still be haunting the building. They use a spirit box, which rapidly scans radio frequencies in an attempt to pick up on any EVP responses. They also use an SLS (Structured Light Sensor) camera, which creates a 3D mapping of the space and can detect any anomalous energy signatures. Additionally, Zak Bagans uses a special piece of equipment called an Ion Box, which emits negative ions that are thought to attract spirits.

As the investigation comes to a close, the team reflects on the intensity of the energy they encountered at the school. They discuss the evidence they captured and attempt to make sense of the messages they received from the spirits. They also reflect on the tragic history of the school and the many students who suffered within its walls.

Ghost Adventures season 20 episode 10 is a gripping and intense investigation of a haunted location with a dark past. The team's use of modern paranormal investigation techniques, combined with their respect for the history of the school and the spirits who may still linger there, make for a fascinating and thought-provoking episode.
