A Chat with Keith Linder about the Bothell Hell House, Ghost Adventures and Life with Poltergeists
Season 1, Episode 24, Mar 01, 2020, 01:20 AM
Ghost Adventures might not have had any activity at the Bothell Hell House, but other paranormal researchers have and what they've discovered is making them rethink definitions of poltergeist activity.
It started with a burning bible...
Ghost Adventures fans may know the house that Keith Linder once lived in, the Bothell Hell Hell House, from the "Demons in Seattle" episode. They may even recognize Keith's name from the episode. He was on the show, as he was living in the house at the time the episode was filmed with his then girlfriend, Tina.
Did Ghost Adventures do a thorough investigation of his house, though? According to Keith, no.
Worse, Zak and crew didn't catch any paranormal activity in the five hours they spent investigating the house. This caused GA fans to ridicule Keith and Tina as frauds, fakes and worse.
However, as Keith put it during our chat, "Absence of evidence doesn't mean evidence is absent."
He had other teams who came in and did much more extensive investigations. One team even stayed up to three and a half weeks with Keith in the home.
What did they find? For one thing, an impressive amount of class A EVPs. Over 424.
But that's not all.
In this episode we discuss other findings, Keith's first book about his haunting, as well as his follow up book, which answers three questions his first book did not:

In this episode we discuss other findings, Keith's first book about his haunting, as well as his follow up book, which answers three questions his first book did not:
- Why is the home haunted?
- What was the black oily substance on his walls?
- Was Keith followed when he moved out of the home?
It was a very interesting conversation with a man about a house and a haunting that's making paranormal researchers rethink the way poltergeist hauntings are defined.
One thing is clear after this conversation with Keith, and he put it best: We are not at the top of the spiritual food chain.
