Zak: There are things in this world
That we will never fully understand.
[ distorted ] understand.
[ echoing ] we want answers.
We have worked years to build our credibility, our reputation,
And in this two-hour Halloween special,
We will begin a terrifying new chapter in the tiger king saga,
One of the most bizarre stories the world has ever seen.
[ tiger roars ]
So prepare yourself,
Because this is "ghost adventures:
Horror at joe exotic zoo."
[ animal screeches ]
It's been a crazy time in 2020.
Craziest year I've ever lived in.
But I'm gonna tell you something even more crazy.
Back in March,
I remember watching this tv show called "tiger king,"
And I'm sure everybody watching this right now
Has seen it because about 34 million people
Tuned in for the first 10 days, and I got sucked into it.
I'm sitting at my home and I look at my phone
And I see this article,
And jeff lowe made this statement
Because apparently he has to give the animal park
To the very infamous carole baskin here shortly.
And he said he didn't really have a problem handing
This animal park over to her and she deserves it
And all the ghosts that go with it.
And I was wondering, "did he mean literally a ghost,
A spirit?"
Is that place really haunted?
Ladies and gentlemen,
Oh, yes.
That zoo, that property is haunted.
And we are now here in wynnewood, oklahoma,
Because we are about to reveal some details
That nobody's ever heard.
We are ready to reopen the book
And add another chapter to this incredible series.
But this time,
We are gonna be focusing on the spirits.
Man: "tiger king," the most watched documentary in america.
Woman: Joe exotic, a man consumed with fame
But destroyed by paranoia.
If somebody thinks they're gonna walk in here
And take my animals away, it's gonna be a small waco.
Woman #2: Former owner of the greater wynnewood animal park
Was found guilty on all counts Tuesday.
♪♪
Zak: Jeff lowe, lauren.
Mr. And mrs. Lowe, how are you?
Good. How about you? How are you, zak?
So you've got to turn this place over to carole soon.
We have to turn the land over.
I knew that joe had illegally transferred this property
And that eventually, if baskin pursued it,
She could unwind, you know, the agreement that joe and I had.
To be involved in all of this chaos
Involving a person like joe exotic,
It's just never-ending.
And I feel as though these are the grounds
Where it all is originating.
It all started here.
Like, there's just a dark,
Just vortex of energy that's constantly just chaotic energy.
Well, this is why we can't wait to get out of here,
Because this is a -- it's a black cloud.
It just lingers over here, and we just can't wait --
This place? Yeah. This place.
Jeff and lauren, do you believe
That people have been murdered and buried on this property?
Absolutely. Absolutely. Yes.
Without hesitation? Without even.
More than one person, yeah.
Zak: Although these allegations are not confirmed
And we have no proof that a murder took place here
Or that human remains can be found on this property,
This response is unsettling.
And do you think this is one of the reasons for the energy
That you're feeling today?
Well, definitely one of them.
And like you said, the tigers,
Like, we wanted to be in the back
When they were digging up the tigers that joe had killed.
So that is a fact? Yeah, it is.
There are tigers that he killed here?
He was convicted of it. You know, it goes way back.
Joe's been here since 1998.
And almost immediately, there's been stories
That circulated around wynnewood of strange going-ons here.
When we came in here and joe was picked up by the feds,
I think it kind of lifted
This cloak of fear off of all these local residents
Because joe was seen as a real nut case
And people were afraid to talk bad about him.
They were...
Well, do you think he was a nut case
Before he owned the zoo,
Or do you think these grounds kind of accelerated that?
You know, I'm sure a little bit of both.
I don't know how joe kept his mind straight by living here
And having all this stuff going on.
It's just -- it's really creepy.
When you walk through a tiger park at 2:00 a.M.,
It's kind of unnerving anyway.
But when you walk through and you hear people talking
And you hear people knocking and you just hear things
That are completely out of the ordinary --
And you have weird feelings
Every time you go around a corner.
Zak: Is it possible there is something here on this land
That contributed to joe's
Dangerous and destructive behavior?
It's almost like if you were to put on, like, spirit goggles
And just look around in here --
[ tiger roars ] whoa! [bleep].
[ lauren laughs ]
[ laughs ]
Zak: [bleep] me. Tiger.
You ready for this?
[ both laugh, tiger roars ]
I was just talking about evil spirits and stuff.
I've heard growls before, but not from tigers.
From spirits.
[ growling ]
And it smells just like buttered popcorn.
Yeah, just rub it in. It's great sunscreen.
The tiger just peed through the --

Let's see. I was here since 2014.
Do you think joe exotic is affected
By something on the spirit realm?
I remember one -- he had talked about something
Had caught his attention or something.
And he had went out and he had seen --
He took a picture of it and he was showing it.
And it looked like somebody was standing like this
Above the alligator house.
Levitating? Yeah. Or it --
And he would show the picture?
Mm-hmm. He said it was a spirit.
He always said that there were spirits here.

Zak: Now, how long have you lived here?
Going on eight years.
We know your friend travis lost his life here.
Yeah.
Woman: The caller tells 911
That someone has shot themselves in the head.
It's travis maldonado,
The husband of park director joe exotic.
Exotic: The hard part to accept right now,
Especially when I'm the one who bought the gun...
Zak: In the "tiger king" series,
It is stated that travis removed the clip from his weapon,
Believing it would render it harmless.
And yet the firearm discharged.
Got a call on the radio.
George calls and he's,
"staff to the office now, now, now, now, now."
I was up there, and I hauled ass all the way down the sidewalk
Into the gift shop, and that's where it happened.
And I said, "what's up? What's up?"
And he goes, "it's in there. It's in there."
And I went in there and I saw him,
Sitting in a reclining chair, gun in his right hand.
And I took the gun out of his hand.
I saw what happened, you know, like, "oh, my god."
And it had that cordite smell and that blood vapor
In the air and everything else.
The clip was in the weapon. It was a ruger.
So I took the clip out and removed the round
From the chamber, set it all on the table.
Then I looked for a first-aid kit,
Try to do anything I could.
I'm sorry, a .45 to the head,
Either you're coming back as a potted plant
Or you're going to...
You know, take a dirt nap.
This tragedy was ruled an accidental suicide.
Could these circumstances cause unrest in travis's spirit?

Yet he is at the center of all the controversy.

He has experienced hauntings here,
And he doesn't like to talk about it.

Billy: Yeah, he said stuff was moving around,
That he'll leave something somewhere
And then find it in another spot.
So he's kind of creeped out by that.
He doesn't really believe in all this stuff.
Aaron and billy notice that allen's door is open.
So they assume he left so that they could investigate,
Which was agreed to by allen.

Oh, my god. Oh, my god.
There's a bed in the living room, right?
So I thought he's not in there.
All of a sudden, it's a tiger, like, sheet.
So I look, and then all of a sudden, the sheet started moving
And I thought a [bleep] tiger was there.
You thought it was a tiger. [ laughs ]
And then I saw his leg, and I about lost my [bleep].
Dude, I literally thought a tiger was on the bed
And it was moving.
[ laughs ] I thought it got out.
That's why the door's open.
Everything that went through my brain just now...
[ thunder cracks ]
Jay and I decide to investigate the gift shop
Because we want to try to make further contact
With travis maldonado,
Who accidentally shot and killed himself inside of here.
There's a little tricycle that jay put
In front of the x camera over there.
That little tricycle -- we just found out about it.
And jeff lowe told us that travis would always sit in it.
You've got to remember, the storm is --
[ thunder rumbles ] oh, [bleep].
♪♪
Oh, my god.
Jay: Dude, we are in the heart of this storm right now.
All the energy of this storm. Travis!
You can hear the rain. It's storm.
It's just -- it's scary, man.
It's scary as [bleep] right now. Oh, yeah.
Look at the rain. Holy [bleep].

All right, I'm gonna use this.
It's a custom-built device called a vocorder.
It's really cool. It's like a live ep.
So this has two very highly sensitive microphones,
On the very top.
We can be anywhere in this whole building and talk
And this sensitivity will pick us up.
And about every 10 seconds,
It'll replay what the microphone just heard,
What it just captured out loud through the speaker.
So it's like having electronic voice phenomena,
Digital recorder playing it,
And then playing it through a speaker 10 seconds later.
Back, forth, back and forth, back and forth constantly.
It's really cool. Trying it out for the very first time.
Hello. Is anybody here?
[ static ]
Hello. Is anybody here?
So we can leave this while we go over there
And it'll constantly pick up audio.
We can leave this...
Zak: Jay and I now head to the back room
Where travis shot himself.
And I ask travis to move this tiny tricycle
That we were told he used to always try to sit on
And were also told that it moves by itself frequently.
Travis, can you move that tricycle?

Travis, can you move that tricycle?

With aaron and billy now knowing
That allen is inside his trailer,
They decide to carry on with the investigation,
With him still sleeping.
I wouldn't want to know what will happen to them
If allen wakes up to find two strange men in his trailer
In the middle of the night.

[ allen groans ]
Jay, what was that?
I don't know. Holy [bleep].
I felt, like, a hand go like this.

Zak: As dawn approaches here at joe exotic zoo,
Aaron and billy have just entered allen's trailer
Only to find him asleep.

Aaron and billy start taking electromagnetic readings,
Polaroid photos,
And then start communicating with the polterpod.
[ static ]
Billy: Say your name.
[ indistinct voice ]
Aaron: Whoa, what was that? Did you hear that?
This is pretty compelling.
Just as billy asks for any spirits
To say their name, an intelligent voice
Comes through and says, "david."
Say your name.
Whoa, what was that?
Aaron then receives this response on the ovilus.
Look at this. "shining satan."
"satan shining."
"satan shining"? What does that mean?
Aaron receives "satan shining."
And as we try to make sense of what this means,
We discover that when christian tradition
Applied the name lucifer
And its association of falling from heaven
To satan, it can generally translate to the bible passage
Isaiah 14, verse 12, as "the shining one" instead of lucifer.
Does allen have something dark attached to his trailer or him?
It makes us wonder if the name david,
Which is biblical, has any deeper context in relation
To the message that aaron received.
"satan shining"?

Zak: What do you think of the name joe exotic?
Were there demons possessing this guy or what?
What's in the alligator pit?
Travis, can you come talk to us?
♪♪
The storm is crazy, right?
As jay and I continue to try to make
Further contact with travis, I feel something touch me.
Zak: Jay, I just got cold chills walking in this spot right here.
Playing.
What do you think of the name joe exotic?
Were there demons possessing this guy or what?
Travis, can you come talk to us?
-Oh. -Oh.
Holy [bleep]. Jay: What just happened?
Jay, what was that? I don't know.
I didn't see anything. There's nothing.
Dude, oh, my god.
Holy [bleep]. I felt, like, a hand go like this.
Seriously? Oh, yeah.
A long [bleep] hand go like this.
I promise you, dude. There was no bug, nothing there.
There was nothing? I saw nothing.
After I shake off being touched, I go back
To reviewing the audio session and make a remarkable discovery.
The storm is crazy.
-Whoa! -Whoa. Yeah, I heard that.
What was that?
Listen.
[ indistinct sound ]
What is that?
I have no idea, dude. That wasn't us.
Listen.
"da, da."
That is a voice. Holy [bleep], jay.
Listen.
This storm's crazy.
It's partially over you.
We just captured a class a evp of a male voice
Saying, "what up?"
Here is the exact moment where this voice was captured
And where you can hear there is nothing but silence
In that exact spot, which makes this proof positive
Of an electronic voice phenomenon.
Travis, can you come talk to us?
This storm is crazy. Right?
Did we just capture the voice of travis,
Who we also believe pointed to his hat in joe exotic's house,
Where eric told us joe hid the hat from travis?
And we believe travis appeared again on cue
By his hat right after giving us the same incredible,
Unexplainable emf readings
Both there and right here in this gift shop.
But as we captured several pieces of compelling evidence
Involving travis's spirit,
We now wonder what will be discovered
In the future here at joe exotic zoo.
Where are you buried?
Here!
♪♪
I am very sure my dog
Was detecting human remains in that area.
Do you believe that there's human remains there
That need to be discovered?
Yes.
I feel confident that it was not a small animal.
That's not what either of the dogs that night alerted on.
Do you want to visit the site again?
Yes, we do.
We just want to go back out, take another run at it,
And then figure out where we go from there if there's an alert.
Zak: One week after this conversation,
The cadaver-dog team returned to the zoo.
This time, four separate dogs gave positive alerts once again
At the alligator pit.
It is now undeniable there are still secrets to be uncovered
At joe exotic zoo.
