Are you ready for the lockdown? The "Ghost Adventures" crew -- Zak Bagans, Nick Groff and Aaron Goodwin -- is back to investigate the scariest, most notorious, haunted places in the world. The trio will interview eyewitnesses and historians at each location, arming themselves with the stories of the ghosts they will later provoke and confront during their dusk-to-dawn lockdowns. (Note: They don't always come out unscathed!) Then they'll review and analyze their findings with some the most respected experts and specialists in the paranormal field.

Official Season 6 Release
Ghost Adventures is known as one of the more authentic ghost hunting shows on television. If you're reading this review, you probably are already interested in the show (if not, check out earlier seasons first). So let's get right into the DVD.THIS RELEASEOther reviews discuss this, but for the sake of completion, I'll start out by explaining that this is the 100% official 6th Season release. Travel Channel does not directly make or distribute DVDs; the DVDs are outsourced. The first five seasons were outsourced to a different company, and it seems Amazon has distribution rights for the rest. It is no different from seasons 1-5, except it did not receive a wide release. This is NOT a bootleg or some poor quality video. This is the official release that would be available at any other retailer but for the fact that it is an Amazon Manufactured on Demand (MOD) product.Amazon's MOD products range in their quality. I personally own quite a few because MOD DVDs tend to cover older series, such as certain Nicktoons from the early-90s. Certain series receive higher quality releases than others. The Amazon MOD DVD for Survivor Season 20 (Heroes vs. Villains) was excellent and it was printed on the mirror-back DVDs rather than purple-back DVD-Rs. This release is on DVD-Rs with printable covers. Personally, I've never had a problem playing any disc from Amazon. Older DVD players may vary, but my DVD player and even my old PS2 played these discs without issue. Your mileage may vary, but honestly for the vast majority of consumers, I'd buy with confidence from Amazon's MOD Create Space.With that said, something else that is worth noting about this set is there sheer quantity of episodes. There are approximately 26 episodes (another reviewer listed all of the titles). Curiously, they are not all season 6 episodes (season 6 was in fact only 7 episodes depending on how you break them down; Wikipedia lists Season 6 as the group of episodes that aired in the Spring of 2012). These episodes are not in order of air date or anything either; instead, they are just sort of a mix of episodes from 2011 through 2014. Some EXCELLENT episodes are on this set though. The Island of Dolls episode is especially creepy. Calling this "Season 6" is a misnomer, but compared to the relatively light episode count of the previous sets, this set (spanning 6 discs) justifies its higher price tag.VIDEO QUALITYGhost Adventures is a difficult show to judge the relative video quality. While the guys use some of the best tech available, in the end of the day you're watching a show with a lot of night vision footage and general darkness. Roughly half of every episode is dark, so to criticize it as grainy or lacking in high fidelity picture quality is to completely miss the point. That said, all of the outdoor stuff and well-lit footage looks excellent. DVD is not, by its nature, an HD format. All the same, this set looks great and there is no appreciable drop in video quality from the transfer.AUDIO QUALITYThe audio of this set is pretty comparable to the 5 seasons that preceded it. Generally the audio is very good, sometimes something happens while taping the show that causes it to be poor or scrambled. The ambient music and general audio presentation are all excellent under the circumstances.MENU/DVD FEATURESAs with most Amazon MOD features, the menu is fairly bare-bones and there aren't any bonus features. While a behind the scenes or making of-style documentary might have been nice to have, for those who like to own the episodes on DVD, it isn't a huge detraction from the quality of the release.SUMMARYSimply put, if you like Ghost Adventures and you have the other DVD releases, I wouldn't hesitate to pick this one up as well. Do not let the fact that this product is a DVD-R scare you away from buying it. It will work (and if it doesn't, Amazon has good customer service) and it will be largely indistinguishable from other releases in this series. Definitely recommended for fans!

One of the bigger seasons on DVD.
Ghost Adventures season 6 is a good addition to any Ghost Adventure fan's DVD collection. This season is more expansive with episodes than most other seasons on DVD. With six discs instead of the usual three per season. And some of the discs have more episodes on them than most Ghost Adventures DVD's. The quality of the case is good. The disc quality is good as well. And they play perfectly fine. The picture & audio quality is really good too! I recommend this Ghost Adventures season 6 DVD set to anyone wanting to get more Ghost Adventures for either themselves or a loved one!

Ghost Adventures Galore
I enjoyed this set. There were plenty of episodes that I had not seen before. The discs played fine in my Blu-ray. Sometimes after taking a break and shutting off the player, when I came back to play it wouldn't show a picture or audio until I hit top menu or removed disc and placed back in. But they played well after that. It would be nice to get an insert listing the episodes to make it easier to find.

Exciting season
Great season. Been to the Old Charleston Jail myself and it was active and frightening. Was scheduled to spend a night at Black Moon Manor but owner shut it down. I believe it's been torn down now, so being able to watch Zac and crew investigating is the next best thing to being there.

I Wanna Belive....
Excellent DVD, bought for my wife as she is a big fan of the series. We now have all the Ghost Adventure DVD's. Unfortunately we cannot buy these in the UK, so we import from the U.S as we have a region 1 player. The guys go to some pretty scary places, with plenty of back ground history which adds to the interest of the places being investigated. My wife thinks Zak is hot! So much for being objective!
