The best part of my job is being able to travel to places to investigate powerful stories, many of which contains unsolved mysteries and deaths. To me as a documentarian and paranormal investigator, this puts the adventure in my life and meaning to my job.

Lighting is everything. It creates mood and has an emotional effect on you.

The power of our conscious mind is unimaginable.

We humans absorb a lot of negativity in this world, but dogs are pure joy.

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.

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

After dealing with so much dark energy and investigating violent people for my job, I value creatures with pure souls - animals, especially dogs. I believe a higher power/god created these creatures to give us balance from people who can be truly evil. I am an active voice and supporter against animal cruelty.

When you ghost hunt, you kind of time travel: you get that residue of the past.

Before you begin a paranormal investigation, the most important criteria you need to gather is the back history of the location.

I fight demons.

I've had some very close encounters with the other side. They chose me to do this - I was doing this all before a TV show. They chose me to communicate with them; they chose my path as a paranormal.

I've been on investigations where a spirit is channeling through me, and I have extreme changes in my emotions - anger, sadness, confusion. Then I begin seeing visions that are not mine. They are theirs. There is no trace of time. My body goes stiff, numb, cold. Then, when the spirit leaves, I can barely stand and speak.

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

Zak Bagans

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

Zak Bagans

I am intrigued by the darkness.

The idea behind 'NecroFusion' came about when Praga Khan of Lords of Acid contacted me after I started making a bunch of Twitter posts about how big a fan I was. Lords of Acid was my favorite band in high school, and Praga is a true pioneer of that style of electronic music.

Spirits want to be heard. That's why they're not at rest.

Zak Bagans

Some of these spirits that are intelligent can harm you.

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

Zak Bagans

I don't need a huge pit bull to tell me I'm tough.

Zak Bagans

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