Upon watching another Oregonian episode of Ghost Adventures, I was reminded once again that we are really weird people. Like, who builds an enchanted, storybook-like amusement park outside of Salem, Oregon? I fondly remember eschewing the rides (that this episode mostly did not show, unfortunately) during Halloween while my grandpa gleefully aimed to scare me in the "haunted" house. I walked behind him, held his shirt to my face and cried...
...much like the Ghost Adventures crew does whenever a brushed fern or crunch of a pinecone screams evil spirits!
Honestly, the attraction to the Enchanted Forest is with truly how weird a clearly bored man with just enough money for concrete and amazing finishes and touch-ups to 40 year old paintings fulfills his dream to create a truly unique experience. And hey, an extra boost of cash flow from a popular show now hitting its stride through streaming isn't a bad reason to stretch a few bedtime stories.
Did I go down the Witch Mouth slide and have the time of my life? Yes! Because every Oregonian child in the Portland and Salem area has. I was genuinely scared by things meant to scare me created by weird humans, not ghosts.
Back to the episode: I liked it when the park owner rode up on a scooter to boost advertising for the place. I also liked the incredibly pixelated photo of some light effect in a currently, at-the-time operating ride really brought out the fear in Zak's eyes. I also liked when horrors of Aaron's past were brought up, but he was still enthusiastically checking out all of the areas in the dark. I'd go around a dark corner for you, buddy.
Much like the statues and rides throughout Enchanted Forest, the goal of this episode is all fiction.
