For over a decade, Zak Bagans has dominated the paranormal investigation world. Amassing armies of followers and an entire museum of powerful haunted artifacts, Zak Bagans is the undisputed king of the afterlife. Now, two man-boys set out on the most dangerous podcast project in the history of the internet: to challenge Zak Bagans to Come Fight Us In The Dark. Join hosts Joel Klineburger (stand-up comic and prolific media consumer) and Erik Hoofnagle (animator whose childhood has been a meme once) on their quest to study Zak Bagans through watching every episode of Ghost Adventures. Each week, we follow the antics of the Ghost Adventures Crew, talk trash, and set intense stipulations to our inevitable confrontation with Zak Bagans and his team, all while putting hard hitting questions like ”Has Zak ever made love to a spirit?” and ”How many ghosts can Zak bench?” into the world.

Well Witches and Warlocks, I have been out in nature and Erik has been flying over his handlebars as though his shoulders were made of something other than bones. To make up for the delay, here is one of our crowning achievements from the Patreon vault. A number of jokes were born in this episode (Billy's friend Grimace, Joshua Peepeepoopoo Warren's wish machine) and honestly, it just reaffirms that Paranormal Challenge is truly our muse. Please enjoy as we get back on our regularly scheduled program asap.

Well Witches and Warlocks! Erik and Joel did some deep descending and realized that two whole shows that Zak has done are not worth talking about, so we landed on Deadly Possessions. This is a show where Zak dares you to look at his stuff, and asks, "isnt it neat?" Watch as he tries to make his collection complete with the introduction of the Dybbuk Box and Robert the Doll. One is a made up story so powerful it became real, and the other is a doll that does not appreciate being called the F slur.
Join Joel and Erik as we dive into Deadly Possessions, Episode 1: The Dybbuk Box & Robert the Doll

Witches and Warlocks, our side quest begins. On this first episode of CFMITD Presents THE DESCENT (of cfmitd) we take a dive into another Zak Bagans project: House Calls. The show where Zak rings in for 30 minutes on zoom deep in his haunted museum and makes his minions do all the actual work. Watch as the boys welcome a girl on the team, a man drops a cross from his pocket and acts like it was a ghost, and Billy ends up owing Aaron some serious money.
Join Joel and Erik as we honor a fallen friend and then do a ten minute bit about god and foreskin as we discuss House Calls, Episode 1: Crisis in Long Beach

Thats right Witches and Warlocks. Our most timely and most contemporary episode ever. Zak and the GAC are in Primm Nevada to rob the corpse of the infamous (because it was shitty) Whisky Pete's casino, and because Zak straight up hates everyone in his crew these days, they had to call Zak's new bestie, "incredibly famous" "comedian" Matt Rife.
Join Joel and Erik as we watch Zak and Matt compare their smooth bodies (not as sexy as you would want) as we discuss Ghost Adventures Season 29, Episode 4: Abandoned at Whisky Pete's
