That path combined his interests in a documentary on ghosts that would eventually launch the Ghost Adventures television series and phenomenon. It also pretty much proves there is some survival of the human spirit after 'body death'. 'Chasing Spirits' teaches you to never give up on your dreams. ![]() But Nick Groff and the Ghost Adventures crew are something unique and different. From recording strange voices during his dusk-to-dawn lockdowns at “haunted” places to a face-to-face encounter with a spirit at Linda Vista Hospital in Los Angeles, Nick reveals an inside perspective of some of the most mind-blowing incidents caught on-camera, a closer look at some of the gadgets and gear used in the show, and the friendly and competitive camaraderie between the Ghost Adventures crew-on the set and off.Ĭhasing Spirits also invites you into Nick’s haunted past, where a childhood near-death experience, an energetic passion for life, and a love of movies fueled his imagination and curiosity about the afterlife and started him off on his paranormal path. I will reiterate: I don't like paranormal group ghost hunting bull crap shows. Take a look behind the scenes of the Travel Channel’s hit show Ghost Adventures with paranormal investigator Nick Groff as he shares his favorite explorations of the supernatural. ![]()
