An Open Letter To Zak Bagans

"You Wanted Us, You Got Us."

Dear Zak,

I'm sitting here watching your show as I type this. "Ghost Adventures" is one of my favorite tv shows because I'm a history nerd and I'm super into the paranormal. My roommate and I watch it all the time, particularly when we want to have a glass of wine and laugh at your dramatic hosting abilities. That being said, I have some questions/comments that I would like to ask on behalf of myself, my roommate, and I'm sure everyone else who watches your show. So, without further ado,

1. Why do you feel the need to over-enunciate everything?

I understand that you are doing something really scary, and you want to up the intensity, but there is NO NEED to dictate every syllable of a word. There's also no need to. pause. after. every. word. to. make. it. super. dramatic.

2. Please, because I'm sure we are ALL wondering- what encounter did you have that inspired you to make this show?

In the intro of every episode, in your over-the-top dramatic voice, you claim, "I never believed in ghosts until I came face to face with one." Who is this ghost? Where were you? How old? Did this experience immediately send you into a spiral of televised paranormal investigating, or did you think on it first? You taunt us with that at the beginning of every episode, and then you leave us hanging. PLEASE tell us about this ghost!

3. This last one is the most important, and it's a bit more of a statement than a question: Stop. Sending. Aaron. Into. Scary. Places. Alone. To. Fight. Your. Battles.

Seriously! It is a given with every episode that you will send poor Aaron into the attic, or the basement, or the room where the super dark entity is. You always make him go alone, and with no equipment, to confront and interrogate this ghost. You talk all this beef about how tough and intense you are, but you leave Aaron to do your bidding? Don't get me wrong, it's hilarious, and we always laugh when you chicken out and make Aaron do the hard stuff, but man up and face the serious monsters for once! Or, just hand over the show to Aaron. He'd do a great job. But then the show would probably become more serious, and then what would we have to chuckle at?

In short, keep it up, Zak. Without you for the comedic relief of the show, "Ghost Adventures" would probably be too damn scary.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
