Paranormal Playback covers Ghost Adventures Season 30 Episode 6, Rage on the River. Charlie and Mel break down Ghost Adventures’ investigation of the abandoned River Inn in Reno, NV, a once–luxury hot springs resort now known for its crumbling structure, questionable mob lore, and local ghost stories. The hosts dig into Aaron’s theatrical river entrance, the crew’s early claims of child apparitions and EMF spikes, and the strange audio captured throughout the property.


But nothing compares to the arrival of psychic medium Beverly Pasco, whose frantic energy, dramatic fainting spell, and nonstop commentary turn the episode into instant paranormal-reality TV chaos. The team pairs Zach’s exaggerated storytelling with real history from the River Inn’s long line of bankruptcies, failed redevelopments, and one documented drowning — far from the mob massacres the show hints at.


RIP to Beverly Pasco, who passed away after filming. Her unforgettable appearance remains one of the most iconic (and unhinged) moments in Ghost Adventures history.


Whether you’re a Ghost Adventures fan or just love a good haunted amusement park story, this episode delivers laughs, lore, history, and solid paranormal commentary.
