In this technologically challenged episode of Paranormal Playback , Charlie, Melanie, and Lore introduce the episode and then Char & Mel dive into Ghost Adventures Season 30 Episode 5: “Darkness at Belmont Park.” The crew recaps Zak Bagans’ investigation at San Diego’s historic amusement park and it's infamous roller coaster The Giant Dipper, exploring its tragic history, reported hauntings, and the questionable tech the GA team brings along for the ride.
