“For me, Halloween is year-round. But my Halloween is the real Halloween - dealing with the real dead.”

“I wasn't cast to play the part of a paranormal investigator, like maybe some other shows out there. I believe it, and it's my passion, and this is what I'm here to do in this life. I love it. It was just meant to be for me. It's what I'm doing. This was my purpose.”

“I have a possessive female spirit. I was also told I have a demonic attachment. They make me sick. They make me agitated.”

“I'm a collector of carvings. I love old, wooden, grotesque Gothic pieces, anything that has cherubs on it, satyrs and carved angels.”

“I do have a little danger in me, a little thrill-seeking part.”

“Some people perceive 'Ghost Adventures' to just be a ghost show on TV, but things are getting very serious, and we are making history in our findings.”

“I think that everybody should go out there and test their curiosity, find a haunted place.”

“I taunt and provoke, but you have to understand that I do that for a reason. I want to elicit a response. Remember that my mission is to capture on film and digital recording devices evidence of the paranormal. Many times, I can't do that by being nice.”

“I am not a psychic medium. I am a sensitive.”

“Nobody on this planet will ever be able to answer the question, 'What happens when you die?'”

“I focus my energy on what I believe in.”

“I fight demons.”

“I have realized that when you rescue your pet from a shelter, it is the most amazing feeling in the world how this animal changes your life by giving it a better one.”

“Something happened to me at the precise moment that my grandmother died. She was three time zones away, but that didn't matter. I believe that I felt something at that moment she passed... some bit of her mortality slipping away.”

“If you chose to live in a home that is living on intersecting laylines, and you're living on an Indian burial ground and having paranormal experiences that are bothersome, you're not going to get rid of them. They've taken ownership of that home and that area.”

“When you travel like I do, just within our own country the atmosphere is different. The environment is different; the way people talk is different. The energy is different. And that's just material-wise, with the local culture.”
