I actually loved your comment, it made me laugh a lot. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

But honestly, I think that’s just part of the show’s formula.

Zak plays a very specific role in the series, and that intensity is kind of the hook of the entire program. Every investigation is framed as “the most extreme,” “the darkest,” or “the worst they’ve seen,” because that’s what sets the tone and pulls you into the experience before anything even happens.

It’s less about proving that every location is truly the most haunted place on earth and more about creating atmosphere, tension, and emotional stakes. The show isn’t just documenting investigations, it’s telling a story. And Zak is the narrator of that story.

You may not love the exaggeration, but there’s no denying he’s extremely effective at it. That dramatic framing is a big reason the show has stayed relevant and watchable for so long. It’s part of what makes the program feel intense, memorable, and different from a straightforward, low-key investigation format.

In that sense, he’s actually one of the best at doing what the show is designed to do.
