The Scary Reason Ghost Adventures' Zak Bagans Won't Ever Go Back To This Spot

In 2015, the North Kentucky Tribune reported that Bobby Mackey's was at that time a functioning music venue, but ghost stories on the site date to the 18th century and the days of slavery. Other popular supposed hauntings relate to the murder of young Pearl Bryan in 1896, whose head — which was never found — is said to have been thrown into one of the three wells in the building's basement. Over the years, Mackey's apparently been a popular place for a whole host of unseemly characters like bikers and mobsters, and supposedly Satanists. Some say Johanna, a dancing girl from the 1940s, killed herself there, brokenhearted over an affair with a gangster.

So, what was it, then, that rattled Zak Bagans? After that TV special, he told Collider, "That eventually lead into another investigation with us to return to Mackey's, and bad things started happening to all of us, personally." According to Bagans, he was possessed at Bobby Mackey's and required an exorcism. That's when things happened that will never be shown on camera, nor will they be told to anyone other than who was in the room when they happened, he said.
