In season 8, episode 15 of Ghost Adventures, the team heads to King's Tavern in Natchez, Mississippi. King's Tavern is one of the oldest buildings in the city, with a history that dates back to the late 1700s. The building has been used as a tavern, a post office, a bakery, and even a makeshift hospital during the Civil War. According to local legend, the building is also haunted by the ghosts of former residents and visitors.
The Ghost Adventures team is particularly interested in investigating the tavern's basement, which was discovered in 2002 after being sealed off for over a century. The basement is said to have been used as a hiding place for runaway slaves, and some believe that it may be one of the most haunted locations in the building.
As they begin their investigation, the team captures several pieces of compelling evidence. They hear unexplained voices and footsteps, and one of their devices is triggered by an unseen presence. They also capture a strange mist on camera that seems to move independently of any natural draft.
One of the most disturbing moments of the investigation occurs when Zak Bagans and Aaron Goodwin are exploring the basement. They come across a strange object that appears to be a shackle. Zak becomes fixated on the object, and begins to feel a sense of dread. He believes that the shackle may have been used to restrain runaway slaves, and that the spirits of those slaves may still be present in the basement.
Later in the investigation, the team conducts a "lockdown" in the tavern's dining room. During the lockdown, they capture several pieces of evidence that suggest the presence of spiritual activity. They hear unexplained noises, and capture several strange orbs on camera. They also feel a sudden drop in temperature, which is a commonly reported phenomenon in haunted locations.
At the end of the episode, the team reflects on their investigation of King's Tavern. They mention that they have a newfound respect for the history and legacy of the building, and that they believe that the spirits of former residents and visitors may still be present in the tavern. They also express their hope that the tavern will continue to be preserved and protected for future generations.
