“Ghost Adventures”
Aaron Goodwin appeared in the pilot episode of the show which aired in 2008, and marked the beginning of his reality star career as a paranormal investigator. The show features exciting potentially haunted locations that are explored by Zak Bagans and his crew, including Billy Tolley, Jay Wasley and of course the man who always bravely takes the initiative to be left behind alone with the (supposed) ghost, to attempt to establish a connection with the spirits, and collect evidentiary materials. The team interviews people who have come across a ghostly presence, and potentially experienced paranormal occurrences; their job also involves overnight in the ‘haunted’ place.
Goodwin was assigned to handle the equipment among other engagements, since he is one of the crew members who has experience working with the camera. The ultimate goal is to attract a reaction from possibly supernatural disturbance, and provide enough material to prove a paranormal existence or non-existence in the haunted location. The show can be followed on the Travel Channel. Before the Travel Channel took over the show, the primary idea was to produce a stand-alone independent film, which of course didn’t happen, as it was transformed into a series which premiered in October 2009, and has run to 21 seasons and more than 200 episodes. Goodwin began his career as part of the cast in the show, and became famous through his appearances from 2008 to 2018, and meanwhile in the “Aftershocks” spin-off series. According to sources, he captured the attention of the audience as an immediately likable person.
