Charlie is officially on baby watch, so this week it’s just Mel and Lor holding down the haunted fort as they dive into Ghost Adventures Season 30, Episode 8: Buried Souls of Pendleton, Part 2.

Back in Pendleton, Oregon, Zak and the crew head deeper into the underground tunnels, where the history gets heavier, the tech gets weirder, and the evidence gets a whole lot more debatable. Mel and Lor pick apart the second half of the investigation, from the jail cells and spirit box sessions to the isolated video loop nonsense, mysterious footsteps, and Zak suddenly claiming he can smell fear through a respirator.

The episode also brings out the big guns with a LIDAR scan that Ghost Adventures presents as major scientific proof, which of course leads to a full breakdown of what that tech actually does, what it might mean, and whether any of this would hold up outside of paranormal reality TV land.

Along the way, the hosts talk ghost translation apps, suspicious camera moments, Tommy the PA making footsteps upstairs, and whether the Pendleton haunting feels truly paranormal or just very well produced.

If you liked Part One, Part Two is where things get stranger, more technical, and somehow even more chaotic.

[1:22:51] See You In The Shadows

WE'RE BACK!!!! Ghost Adventures heads to Pendleton, Oregon for a chilling two-part investigation beneath the city’s historic streets. In Buried Souls of Pendleton: Part One, Zak Bagans and the crew explore the infamous Pendleton Underground, a hidden network of tunnels tied to racial violence, outlaw justice, brothels, and long-buried secrets of the Wild West.

Paranormal Playback breaks down the episode’s historical claims, including connections to the Oregon Trail, the Hell’s Canyon massacre of Chinese miners, and the forced underground existence of marginalized communities. The hosts examine the Cozy Rooms brothel, discuss Stella Darby’s complicated legacy, and question how much of Zak’s paranormal hypothesis holds up under scrutiny.

As the investigation unfolds, the crew captures unsettling PolterPod responses, EMF spikes, unexplained footsteps, and a controversial moment involving a guest investigator that sparks serious discussion. With new tech introduced, shadowy figures hinted at, and the episode ending on a dramatic cliffhanger, Part One raises more questions than answers about what truly lingers beneath Pendleton — and whether the past ever stays buried.

Charlie breaks down the town’s history, fact-checks claims about the Moaning Caverns and Jamestown Hotel, and analyzes the episode’s most unsettling moments, including a former sheriff’s alleged possession and evidence captured inside the hotel’s basement. With EMF spikes, validated baselines, Polaroid anomalies, and a chilling XLS figure, this becomes one of the most compelling episodes of the season. Charlie also delivers a special “This Old Haunt: Charlie Checks the Facts,” challenging myths while highlighting the real history that makes Jamestown genuinely eerie.
