Zak Bagans

Zak Bagans is the host, lead investigator and an executive producer of Ghost Adventures. With his paranormal investigation team, Bagans travels to domestic and international locations rumored to be haunted in search of evidence proving the existence of the supernatural. After graduating from film school in Michigan, Bagans moved to Nevada to pursue a career in documentary filmmaking. There, he met fellow Ghost Adventures investigator Aaron Goodwin. In 2004, Bagans founded the world's largest paranormal organization, The Ghost Adventures Crew, which consists of thousands of members.

Aaron Goodwin

Referred to by many as a teddy bear, Aaron actually hates to be left alone in attics (or just about anywhere). You can also expect to hear him say, "Dude!" about 20 times per episode. Always armed with a camera, Aaron travels around the world with the Ghost Adventures team to record what they experience in each haunted location. An Oregon native, Aaron moved to Las Vegas where he fell in love with film and taught himself how to edit video and operate a camera.

Jay Wasley

Wasley joined Ghost Adventures in the fourth season as the paranormal investigation team’s sound mixer, and has since evolved into one of the show’s audiovisual technicians and cinematographers. Throughout the seasons, Wasley travels with the team to reportedly haunted locations on a quest to find evidence proving the existence of the supernatural. He has also worked behind the cameras on Travel Channel’s Paranormal Challenge, Netherworld and Game On, America.

Billy Tolley

Having a solid background in audio editing and production software, Tolley was first intrigued by the paranormal after learning about electronic voice phenomena (EVP). With several years of experience in music and audio production, his curiosity led him to investigate and capture EVP’s for himself. Tolley’s fascination with the paranormal field grew stronger, and in 2006, he founded a paranormal group with some friends – the Las Vegas Paranormal Investigations of Mysterious Phenomena Squad (LV PIMPS). He started sharing details of his audio captures with Zak Bagans and joined the Ghost Adventures series as one of the paranormal investigation team’s audio/visual technicians and EVP analyst.

Dalen Spratt

Dalen is addicted to history both in and outside of the paranormal. The entrepreneur and fashion designer is the ringleader of the Ghost Brothers, with his finger on the pulse of the who, what, where, when and why of each case. He first encountered the paranormal when he was a young child. After attending the funeral of a man lost to gun violence, he awoke to find the man standing over him… clear as day. It’s the experience he never forgot, and one that bonded him to fraternity brother, business partner and BFF Juwan Mass.

Juwan Mass

Juwan has a huge heart that can get him into the craziest of situations. He has a passion for helping people and is willing to jump into the fire to get answers. The Eagle Scout is a natural born explorer. With that said, he knows when to run when the sh** hits the fan. When he was 12, he turned his attention to the paranormal and ghost hunting. Mass and his fellow Ghost Brothers teammate Dalen Spratt bonded over their shared experience and desire to explore the unknown.

Marcus Harvey

Marcus is the most spiritual member of the group, and the only father among the Ghost Brothers. He has an uncanny ability to provide peace and hope to frightened families; and his natural humor can always make anyone crack a smile. When Marcus isn’t lending comfort to a beleaguered family, he’s lending an empathetic ear, mad clipper skills, and old school barbershop wisdom to his famous clients at his Atlanta barbershop.

Due to his efforts, the practice of paranormal investigation has advanced to international phenomenon status. Hawes has handled cases for law enforcement, religious organizations and U.S. government agencies.

He is also the founder of the most visited paranormal website in the world, The-Atlantic-Paranormal-Society.com, and he has created a network of paranormal researchers known as “The TAPS Family” that spans the globe with bases in more than 40 U.S. states and 14 countries.
