This Friday, March 16th, the “Ghost Adventures” crew are joined by UFC fighter Brendan Schaub as they attempt to uncover the truth behind an unsolved murder at the Peabody-Whitehead Mansion in Denver, and we have a sneak peek of the ep.

“Ghost Adventures” Episode 6.02:
Investigative duo Zak Bagans and Nick Groff, along with equipment technician Aaron Goodwin, head to Denver, Colorado, to explore the historically haunted Peabody-Whitehead Mansion. Built in 1889, its first owner, Dr. William R. Whitehead, was convinced the building was plagued by the spirits of hundreds of soldiers he tried to save from his days as a surgeon for the Confederate Army during the United States Civil War. After his death, when controversial Colorado Governor James Peabody moved into the mansion, things only worsened. The Governor was viewed by many as the enemy of the working man, and in 1904 he ordered state militia to break union strikes by the region’s gold miners by brute force. Hundreds were injured in the violence, and dozens were killed as their bloodshed was on the Governor’s hands. All the years of torment are now trapped inside this now empty Grant Street mansion. In addition to being the site of a suicide, there have been over 120 years of ghostly activity in the building, including reports of visitors being pushed up against the wall by unseen forces!

UFC Fighter Brendan Schaub joins the trio at the Peabody-Whitehead Mansion in hopes of shedding some light on the evil entities in order to learn more about the darkness that lies within the walls of this historic location. During the investigation in the basement, it gets personal when a spirit calls out Brendan by name and then reveals new evidence about an unsolved crime. This turn of events triggers the involvement of the Denver Police Department – currently reviewing the “Ghost Adventures” team’s evidence.
