questions about the assault because Liz was clearly uncomfortable during that part of the interview, but that’s why she was there in the first place.
My questions were professional, and I didn’t cross any boundaries at any time. I took it at a slow pace and asked her if she wanted to stop several times, which she never did. What got to me the most about this interview was that she was just as much an antagonist as she was a victim. While I felt bad for her and the things she went through, I also disagreed with her when she accused Mr. Borden of raping Lizzie. That accusation didn’t sit well with me.
After people die and pass over, I don’t think it’s right to accuse them of horrific criminal behavior unless there’s evidence of guilt, as there was in Herb Baumeister’s case. Herb was never convicted, but it’s been proven that he was responsible for many of the deaths that occurred at Fox Hollow Farm. (Turn to chapter 14, “Carrying Spirits,” for more on that story.) To publicly state that Lizzie’s father raped his daughter without having some kind of proof just isn’t right, and I said so on
Aftershocks.
Liz stated that the spirit of Lizzie’s mother had given her this information. That may be true, but I don’t believe evidence from a spirit is strong enough to take public. I’m not saying it didn’t happen, but I think Liz should have kept that information to herself.

is a great way to help people get over emotional trauma caused by paranormal events, but it’s not just the living who need help. The spirit of Andrew Borden can’t defend itself from the accusations of the living, so I chose to. I can’t defend every spirit, but I can speak out for one that I’ve had an encounter with. There’s no evidence to suggest that Andrew ever sexually assaulted Lizzie Borden.
I love doing these interviews, but what’s weird is that I’ve struggled with anxiety disorder my whole life and sometimes have trouble getting up in front of people or being around strangers. I never thought I’d feel so comfortable being in the middle of a slew of cameras listening to someone open up about themselves so honestly. Maybe listening to them helps me get closure as well, because I find a lot of meaning in talking to them. It’s addictive. It might even be therapeutic for me, when I think about it.
I can sit with a friend and talk about sports, but my mind won’t be into the conversation as much as if we were talking about the paranormal. Ghosts, spirits, demons...these are the things that get me charged up. I don’t just listen, I absorb. I’ve gained so much knowledge doing these interviews, especially about my own abilities as an empath. To hear people say that I’ve helped them win their battles to understand their experiences of being victimized by unseen forces is indescribable. Helping them has given my life more purpose. The darkest time of anyone’s life is knowing you have a purpose, but not knowing what that purpose is.
Ghost Adventures
brought purpose to my life, but
Aftershocks
has really enlightened me. It’s very rewarding.
We can’t choose our family, our era, our gender, etc. But we’re given this life, and in this life we learn to live no matter what fate or our environment deals us. I grew up with very little. In the late 1990s and early 2000s, I lived in a house with no furniture. My dad used to take me to the gas station and feed me bread and cheese with mustard. I struggled to find myself and my place in this world, but I always knew that I had more to offer than working in a cubicle for some company I didn’t care about. I wasn’t going to be anyone’s puppet or work for a pension and have some fat boss say at my funeral, “Zak worked a good 45 years for this corporation, and now Jim Bob has his job. Eat your cake.”
Money isn’t power; helping people is. If there really is a judgment at the end of life, I’m certain that God isn’t going to care about your bank
