Zak Bagans Claims Paranormal Painting and Trespasser Incident Shake His Las Vegas Home

Avery Sinclair here, your resident skeptic with a flair for the dramatic and a healthy dose of side-eye for anything remotely suspicious. Let’s just say I’ve heard some wild tales in my time, but this one? This one might actually take the cake—if the cake was cursed and came with a restraining order.
So, picture this: Zak Bagans, the self-proclaimed paranormal investigator and host of “Ghost Adventures,” claims a woman bypassed not one, not two, but *three* layers of security—including an armed checkpoint—just to get to his Las Vegas home. And no, this wasn’t a ghost. This was allegedly a very real, very determined woman who, according to Bagans, tried to enter his home on August 16, setting off an alarm and prompting a security response.
Let’s break this down. First, if someone managed to get past *three* security measures in a supposedly secure neighborhood, either the security system needs an overhaul, or this woman is some kind of stealth operative. Either way, it’s not exactly the kind of thing you want happening near your multimillion-dollar home.
According to the police report, the woman—who remains unidentified—reportedly told security she’d been communicating with Bagans for over three years and claimed he scammed her out of hundreds of thousands of dollars. Bagans, of course, denies everything and calls the allegations “B.S.” He wasn’t even home at the time, but his assistant was there and reportedly witnessed the whole thing.
The woman, for her part, says she only rang the doorbell and denies trying to enter the home. Security took photos of her vehicle and informed her she was trespassing, after which she drove off. TMZ obtained the police report, which also notes she had been seen earlier at Bagans’ museum in Vegas.
Now, if that weren’t enough, Bagans says he’s shaken up—partly because he thought the woman might have a firearm in her bag. But here’s where things get even weirder: he also believes the incident might be connected to a painting he recently brought home.
The piece in question is titled *Artemis Fractal*, painted by Bill Stoneham, who’s known for creating what some call the “most haunted painting in the world.” Bagans says he placed the painting in his home just an hour before the alleged trespassing incident. Then, he moved it to his museum. Since then, he claims multiple visitors have fainted, experienced crying spells, and even ended up with bruises and scratches.
So now, Bagans is considering having the museum “blessed” and “exorcised.” Because of course he is. Because when you run a museum dedicated to the paranormal and someone tries to break into your house, the logical next step is to call in a priest—or at least someone with a smudge stick and a strong belief in vibes.
Look, I’m not saying this woman wasn’t unhinged, or that Bagans isn’t being overly dramatic. I’m just saying that if you’re going to buy a painting that’s supposedly haunted, maybe don’t put it in your house. And maybe invest in better security.
And yet, here we are. A man who built his brand on the supernatural is now spooked by a real-life situation that sounds like it came straight out of a B-list horror movie. Whether it’s the painting, a disgruntled fan, or just a bizarre coincidence, one thing’s for sure: life in the paranormal lane is getting a little too real for Zak Bagans.
