🚨🎙️ THE SKEPTIC SHATTERS! 🛑 DYLAN SPROUSE’S UNFLAPPABLE SIDEKICK SHANE MADEJ IS VISIBLY TERRIFIED AFTER A CHILD GHOST WHISPERS A DIRECT RESPONSE INTO THE VOID AT THE BASIN PARK HOTEL! 👧

EUREKA SPRINGS, AR — The paranormal investigation duo Ryan Bergara and Shane Madej, creators and hosts of the hit digital series Ghost Files under their production company Watcher Entertainment, have once again sent shivers down the spine of their massive global audience.

In the highly anticipated premiere of Season 4, Episode 1, titled “Basin Park Hotel Child Ghost,” the self-proclaimed “Ghoul Boys” traveled to Eureka Springs, Arkansas, to delve into the dark, storied history of the Basin Park Hotel, an alleged hotspot for spectral activity, resulting in one of their most compelling pieces of evidence to date.

The seven-story Basin Park Hotel, which majestically overlooks the historic city center, was built in 1905 on the site of the former Perry House, a lodging that burned to the ground in a devastating 1890 fire.

Its origins are steeped in the rugged history of the Old West, serving initially as a watering hole for cowboys, gamblers, and outlaws.

Its proximity to the town’s famous “healing springs”—once sacred to the Osage people—also made it a destination for the desperately ill seeking miraculous cures, a history that many believe contributes to the hotel’s high volume of residual and intelligent hauntings.

Ryan, the devout believer and primary investigator, and Shane, the unwavering skeptic and co-host, dedicated an entire night to investigating the hotel’s most fabled areas, including the mysterious seventh floor, the old Barefoot Ballroom, and the underground tunnels once used for bootleg whiskey during Prohibition.

The main focus of their investigation, however, was the persistent legend of a little girl and her mother said to roam the upper floors.

Throughout the evening of the investigation, the duo, known for their unique blend of detailed technical investigation and comedic skepticism, deployed a range of state-of-the-art paranormal equipment.

It was during a session using a sophisticated spirit box (or ‘ghost box’), a device that rapidly scans radio frequencies to allow spirits to communicate, that the most intense interaction occurred.

As Ryan, visibly nervous, posed questions into the darkness of one of the historically active rooms, asking specifically for a child’s presence, the atmosphere in the room changed palpably.

According to the episode footage, after a series of silence and Shane’s characteristic humorous, dismissive commentary, a faint but distinct Electronic Voice Phenomenon (EVP) response was captured.

While the full context of the exchange was later dissected in the Ghost Files Debrief episode, the recorded audio anomaly appeared to be a direct, youthful response to one of Ryan’s questions.

The encounter was deeply unsettling, even for the seasoned hosts.

Ryan, whose fear is a long-running gag in the series, was genuinely shaken by the clarity and context of the voice, which seemed to confirm the hotel’s long-standing claims of a juvenile spirit.

Shane, typically immune to the hysteria, acknowledged the strangeness of the capture, though he maintained his scientific skepticism about the device itself.

“I’m just here for the facts, not the feelings, but I can’t deny that was a little.weird,” Madej commented, following the captured sound, a phrase that encapsulated the uncanny nature of the evidence.

Bergara, meanwhile, was on the verge of a full panic, stating, “That was a very clear, very specific response.

We asked for a child and got a child’s voice.

That is terrifying evidence, man, absolutely terrifying.”

The episode also delved into the hotel’s unique history with paranormal investigation, highlighting the work of local guides who frequently report phenomena like moving shadows, severe temperature fluctuations, and reoccurring orbs.

The duo’s commitment to using objective, unfiltered evidence—a hallmark of their content since their BuzzFeed Unsolved days—means this new audio clip will be thoroughly scrutinized by the paranormal community and skeptics alike.

This chilling encounter at the Basin Park Hotel not only kicks off the fourth season with a bang but also underscores the enduring success of Ryan and Shane’s partnership.

Since launching Watcher Entertainment with Steven Lim and their subsequent hit Ghost Files in 2022, the duo has consistently delivered high-quality, entertaining content, balancing the true fear of the supernatural with the logic of critical thinking, solidifying their place as the undisputed kings of paranormal investigation in the digital age.

This latest piece of audio, emanating from the depths of the historic Arkansas hotel, ensures that the debate over the existence of ghosts, particularly the playful and terrifying spirit of a child, will rage on.
