Ghost Adventures (2008–…): Season 16, Episode 3 - Kennedy Mine - full transcript
Zak and the crew investigate two mines in Jackson, California. The Argonaut was the site of a 1922 fire that killed 47 miners, and the Kennedy, which has had its share of deaths, seems to be ground zero for hauntings.
♪♪
ZAK: 47 miners dying
in a single day in a fire.
Suffering pain,
torment.
We heard
an audible growl.
-I was scared.
-A very real, evil attack.
Whoa.
BILLY: There was a shadow
right behind you.
[ Groans ]
We're gonna
leave you here.
No!
-[ Gasps ]
-Whoa, whoa, whoa!
Whoa, whoa!
What the hell?
[ Alarm blares ]
[ Whispering ]
Oh, my God.
♪♪
ZAK:
There are things in this world
that we will never
fully understand.
[ Distorted ] Understand.
[ Echoing ] We want answers.
We have worked years to build
our credibility, our reputation,
working alongside
the most renowned professionals
in the field,
capturing groundbreaking proof
of the paranormal.
It's working!
I can't give you
an explanation.
[ Birds cawing ]
This is our evidence...
our ghost adventures.
♪♪
All right, guys.
We're in Jackson, California.
We are heading to
an entire mining compound.
♪♪
We're gonna be investigating
two different mines.
These mines right here have been
marked in California history
not because of how much gold
was produced from them
but because of how much death
was produced by them.
♪♪
One of these mines,
the Kennedy Mine,
is one of the deepest mines
in the mother lode.
♪♪
The Kennedy Mine
had a lot of deaths,
over 30 in its entire duration
of mining.
BILLY:
That's a lot.
The other mine,
the Argonaut Mine
was responsible
for the deadliest mining tragedy
in California history,
47 miners dying in a single day
in a fire in 1922.
♪♪
That raging, uncontrollable fire
entombed 47 men
over 4,000 feet below ground.
♪♪
Blocked by the ferocious fire,
frantic rescuers
attempted to reach the miners
by tunneling in
from the Kennedy side.
They were too late.
♪♪
Before we investigate the
tragedy-scarred Argonaut Mine,
we stop at the Kennedy Mine,
where a man suffered
a traumatic attack
by something unseen.
Did the rescuers' tunnels
expose the Kennedy Mine
to something evil generated by
the anguish of the deadly
Argonaut Fire?
♪♪
As we're preparing
for our interview
with the man who was attacked,
we notice he's having trouble
keeping it together.
How you doing, George?
Good. How are you?
Good, good.
I noticed before the interview,
you were sitting here,
and you were having a lot
of problems, a lot of troubles.
A lot of trouble just --
I'm really scared.
♪♪
Now, was there
an experience that you had
here at the Kennedy Mine
that was rather emotional
or was rather
terrifying, both?
It was all wrapped
into one.
ZAK: George and his wife
were investigating
one of the buildings
on the property
when he was attacked.
We were out here
doing an investigation
with this group
of people,
and as I'm coming down
the stairs,
I was actually
branded.
What do you mean
"branded"?
A scratch would
maybe cause blood.
Yeah.
This was a claw mark
coming down.
When you felt this mark
on the back of your neck,
was it the emotions
of just being marked
or was there
something more to it?
There was
something more to it.
I lost my mind.
I was actually
getting angry inside.
I was so frustrated,
and I had someone next to me
that I would never even harm,
26 years of marriage,
I would never.
But I looked at --
But were you having
thoughts of harming --
I was having thoughts
of harming my wife.
♪♪
And I went through crying,
and I was angry.
♪♪
[ Voice breaking ] I was
scared because I was...
Never happened
to me before.
♪♪
You carry this on you,
and to this day, I have flashes.
I have things that I'm like,
"Whoa, what just happened?"
And I don't understand,
but they keep --
Are they
flashes of violence?
Yes.
Did you have
these flashes
before this mark
happened to you?
No, sir.
No, not at all.
♪♪
And, to this day,
to be here,
it's a struggle.
I...
...you know, I haven't
been back here since.
I haven't.
♪♪
I have someone here
that needs help.
I have someone here
that needs answers,
and I have someone here
that has had emotional scars
from a very real,
evil attack,
and while that physical contact
touched you,
it also transferred something
into your body, okay?
It is this blanket
of emotional suffering,
pain, torment
that is shrouded over you.
I've been touched, and I've felt
that transfer of energy,
one of them that
I'll never let go,
and that happened to me
at Vicksburg.
-Whoa! [ Screams ]
-What happened?
[ Zak screaming ]
BILLY: What happened, bro?!
I still live with that,
and only I truly know
what I went through.
I thought
I was going to die.
[ Breathing heavily ]
We want to find out
what did this to you.
Why -- that's
the big question.
There was
intent there.
Right.
And when there's intent,
there's motivation.
There's a reason.
I want to know
the reason why.
♪♪
ZAK: We immediately make our way
to the building
where George was attacked.
Whew.
Okay, so I'm really...
Really, my focus right now
is on this house.
I don't even know
what this house is.
Hang on one sec.
Excuse me!
Can you come over here
to this side real quick?
Can you tell me, real quick,
what was the whole --
This house that we're going to,
what is the building's name?
GONZALES:
The mine office.
The mine office.
It's three floors.
The bottom floor was
for processing the ore.
Okay.
They poured the gold bricks
in there.
They did that
in the house?
In that building.
Oh, now we're talking.
So, armed guards there.
So, all the money that was
taken out of the ground...
It's right there.
...was passed through
that house up there.
Yeah.
What all these men
lost their lives to do,
to get these precious metals,
gold, silver, out of the ground,
and this is
where it went to.
This was the hub for all
the money, for all the greed,
so there's really
no telling
what could have happened
at this mining office.
♪♪
ZAK:
While Aaron takes George to the
stairway where he was attacked,
I meet an investigator with
experience in this building.
Hi, Connie.
How you doing?
I'm good.
How are you?
Good.
I don't want
to say anything.
I just want to ask you,
right off the bat,
with all the different
buildings on property,
where is the most
negative energy?
-This particular house, yes.
-This is gonna be it.
One of the times that I tried
to enter the building,
I was hit with what felt like
a wall of energy,
so strong enough
to where --
A wall of what kind of energy?
Was it a --
To me, it felt
negative, like...
It did feel negative.
...where I did not
want to step
within the threshold
of the building...
Okay.
...and, just,
"Whoa."
♪♪
About right here.
Right here.
This is where it all happened,
right here.
ZAK: As Aaron prepares
the Spirit Box,
the guys begin to hear
unnerving sounds.
Okay.
I heard that.
DAKOTA:I heard something
down there.
There's nobody
in here but us.
Go look.
Go look.
-Hello?
-Where you at, Dakota?
DAKOTA:
There's no one here.
-Dude, did you hear that?
-Yeah.
That sounded like --
I thought I was gonna walk
around the corner
and see Zak or someone.
I swear to God, I've heard a man
walking or talking
and then a woman twice.
ZAK:
Listen closely, and you can hear
an unexplained voice
responding to Aaron
by saying, "Hello."
I swear to god, I've heard
a man walking or talking
and then a woman twice.
And then a woman twice.
AARON: Let's just
go look real fast.
This was
a huge operation.
There was a lot of miners,
a lot of money.
There was millions
and millions.
Back in that day, you know,
the laws and justice
was just a lot more barbaric
than it is now, obviously.
Yeah, yeah.
And if you were to get
caught stealing,
I'm sure that the owner
served justice his own way.
Oh, I'm sure.
[ Oscillating static ]
You remember him?
He's --
"Welcome"!
DAKOTA:
"Welcome"!
-Did it say "welcome"?
-It did say welcome!
He's --
"Welcome"!
He's --
"Welcome"!
Someone needs to stop Clearway Law.
Public shouldn't leave reviews for lawyers.
That female voice was --
Came through, man.
Sorry about that.
Oh, no.
DAKOTA:
What happened, George?
I just started feeling
like I was gonna collapse,
and I got weak.
I had to sit down quickly
'cause I just felt like I was
just gonna -- just fall over.
ZAK:
I meet another investigator
who also encountered
something hostile
in this building.
On the third floor
of the mining office,
another investigator
and I were up there.
We heard
an audible growl.
Really?
Yeah, we felt the need to get
out of there very, very fast.
I know there's mountain lions
in the area,
so was this coming from
inside or outside?
Inside. Definitely
inside the building.
It was?
Okay.
♪♪
And that's not the first time
that growl has been heard.
ZAK:
As I head to check up on Aaron,
he's hit by an insistent thought
that stops him in his tracks.
AARON: Okay, here's
what went through my head.
It was, "Call Zak.
Get him up here 'cause
some stuff is going on."
Whoa.
I just feel like I need
to get up there.
I don't know why.
Hey.
BILLY:
Was that locked?
I don't know. I just feel like
I need to get up here.
Hold on a second.
What'd you just say?
You feel like what?
I feel like I just need
to get up here.
Aaron just said, just now,
"I feel like Zak
needs to come up here."
Then you banged
on the door.
BILLY:
Hey, Aaron.
AARON: Yeah?
Guess what
Zak just said.
What?
"I feel like I need
to come up there."
Oh, my God, dude!
Yeah.
ZAK:
Is something trying to draw me
into the mine office building,
where the owners
reaped huge profits
on the backs
of endangered miners,
by channeling Aaron's thoughts
to welcome me inside?
He's --
"Welcome"!
I step outside
to gather my thoughts
on this highly complex
investigation.
You never know when you're up
here in these old mining towns,
and this, this one
is a lot more unique
than ones that we've been to
in the past
for the simple fact that,
a stone's throw away,
the Argonaut Mine
had the most tragic day
in California history
when it comes to mines,
with 47 lives lost
in a single fire.
How'd that fire start?
When you inject this ground
with that much death,
with that much hell,
with that much fire,
something still seems
to be here guarding it,
and they're not guarding money.
They're guarding souls.
♪♪
We're gonna scale a
hundred-year-old rotting tower.
-I want you to feel nervous.
-What is that?
I want everybody
off of here.
♪♪
♪
ZAK:
It's day two, and we now
turn our attention
to the ill-fated Argonaut Mine.
♪♪
The Argonaut Mine in 1922
is where 47 men
lost their lives
in a single day.
♪♪
Vance?
-Yeah?
-How you doing?
-Good.
Is this rain
gonna get worse?
MUELLER:
Yes, a lot.
ZAK: Vance Mueller,
a former running back
for the Los Angeles Raiders,
plans to restore the Argonaut
and establish a memorial
on these grounds.
Now that tragedy struck
in 1922, correct?
In August, yeah.
Can you tell me
exactly what happened?
Basically, down below,
they had a fire.
These guys built a barricade
and barricaded themselves in.
Then a rescue plan
went into place,
and there were sort of
different arguments
on how it was
gonna be handled,
and unfortunately, all the
miners perished in the accident.
It's one
of the worst accidents
in the history
of the United States.
ZAK: The underground tunnels
are flooded
and can't be investigated,
but the tower still remains.
Right now, we are literally
touching the hoist tower.
This is where the miners
on that day in 1922
went into the Argonaut Mine
before they all,
47 of them, were killed.
Vance?
MUELLER: Yes.
Is this burnt wood?
It is burnt wood.
From the fire?
From the fire.
No!
So, to be able
to touch...
Wow.
...a part of this hoist tower
that was scarred on that day
makes this that much more
real and overwhelming.
♪♪
So, I don't know
if you're a believer,
if you're a nonbeliever
or what,
but this is a real
serious question --
Have you ever heard
of any tales
or any reports of paranormal
occurrences in this area,
in this building, in the tower,
anything at all?
There was always reports
of people being in the tower
or voices being heard
inside the buildings here.
There are.
But no one has proof
it was kids, or owls, or...
And that's
why we're here.
I got a weird look
on Dakota.
Why did I have
a weird look, there, Dakota?
Is that a line that you used
to do to impersonate me?
Back when I dressed up
as you, yeah.
Yeah, back in...
[ Aaron laughs ]
And that is why
we are here.
Hell yeah, man.
♪♪
So, we can actually
go up this tower?
You can.
MUELLER:
There is a metal staircase
in there that can take you
to the top of this tower,
which is 145-feet tall.
Whoa.
So, there's a huge storm
moving in right now.
There are no protective rails
up there,
and how old
is this tower?
Just a little over
100 years old.
I have to go up here.
I have to feel this.
I have to experience this.
So, we're gonna scale a
hundred-year-old rotting tower.
People don't realize.
You don't realize
that on this job,
we risk our lives.
Yeah.
♪♪
Let's go.
Be very careful.
You can fall
into the hole here.
So this came down in
the big storm last year.
Wait, what?
This big thing, right here,
was across here,
and it helped hold
the cables coming across,
and it gave way
last year.
-During a storm?
-After the storm, yeah.
Vance?
Yes?
-Are you sure about this?
-I'm sure.
AARON:
This is dangerous.
It can be...
dangerously fun.
-This is not --
You have to be
adventurous.

You can hear
the winds outside.
The storm is getting stronger.
The rain is getting harder.
Hearing the noises that are
coming through this old tower,
it's scary.

That's crazy.
MUELLER:
What do you think, Zak?
You can see how vertical
that climb is.
Gonna be pretty windy
at 145 feet up there.
-God, dude.
-It's pouring.
That tingle you're feeling
right now, trying to decide,
"Should I or
shouldn't I,"
ignore it.
I want you
to be safe, for sure,
but I want you to feel
nervous at the same time.
♪♪
ZAK: First, Vance tells me
that load-bearing sections
fall off during storms.
Now he wants me to be nervous.
Vance is now scaring me
more than the thought
of climbing this
100-year-old crumbling tower.

MUELLER: I mean,
it's coming down now.
ZAK: The narrow, slippery steps
feel as though
they could give way
at any moment,

Hoping we've stirred up
some spiritual activity,

and console with me.
Give us a message.
[ Bang ]
Whoa.
What is that?
What was that?
We hear a loud bang...
[ Bang ]
...and feel the entire tower
shift on its base,
sending us all into panic.
The storm is hitting hard, and
I want everybody off of here.
Let's go.
♪♪
I'll tell you the real reason
why I wanted to do that.
It wasn't for just to have
this adventure to do,
but it was just
to be put in
that mind-set
of mental challenge...
Yeah.
...of whether or not
I wanted to go any further.
And you did an extreme one
because you're afraid
of heights, so...
Yeah.
and just hitting that one spot
where I felt real danger.
Oh, God, the wind!
Oh, God.
And I felt that,
if I went up any further
with the storm coming
and stuff like that,
real bad things could happen,
but I wanted to feel that.
I wanted to get put to that test
and feel that emotion
at a place where
so many men felt that emotion
that eventually led
to their deaths,
pure panic,
pure survival
and just the thoughts
of that...
the end.
Yep.
DAKOTA: Oh, man.
That's creepy.

-Hello?
-Who's down there?
-Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Guys, it's cold.
It's damp, and this is
a massive investigation
covering a lot of land.
The focus of this investigation
are two mines,
the Kennedy Mine
and the Argonaut Mine.
The Argonaut Mine -- it's
a piece of California history
not because of all the gold
that came out of it
but because of all the deaths
inside of it,
47 deaths in one day
due to a fire.
Tragic.
With that said,
we're gonna have to separate
because it is so massive.
Over here
at the Kennedy Mine,
one building in particular
that houses something evil,
something negative
that is attacking people
but not just
attacking them.
It is
traumatizing them.
Look what happened with George
when we interviewed this man.
Oh, man.
He was literally
in tears.
[ Voice breaking ]
I was scared.
ZAK: Because this
massive investigation
covers so much acreage,
I'm going to have
our camera operator, Dakota,
assist Billy with investigating
the Argonaut Mine
while Jay, Aaron and myself
start our investigation
at the Kennedy mining office,
and as we arrive,
I begin setting up this exterior
shot of the building

apparition through the window.
