Premise

The series proposes that certain mines are haunted by ghosts of miners from Gold Rush days, or by spirits that superstitious miners call "Tommy-Knockers". Paranormal investigators Patrick and Kristen go into the mine first and investigate using equipment they believe can detect supernatural activity. Then it's Mine Foreman Stan's hard rock miner crew's turn to work the mine while the investigators monitor them on their DVR system in an attempt to see if they experience anything supernatural. In the end, the investigators show their evidence to the miners and state their opinions regarding the degree of supernatural activity they believe is present.

Opening introduction:

Let me tell you about gold. I've been chasing it my whole life. Everybody loves it. But it's got a dark side. The old miners that have died in there, they don't want you in their mine. Mines are some of the most haunted places in the world. I don't know what it really is, but it's there...and it scares the hell out of me!

Stan decides to go to Patrick and Kristen to see if they have footage of what Jay may have seen but discover a strange glitch occurring on multiple cameras. They decide to go inside to investigate the 'Ballroom' at nightfall. As Patrick and Kristen begin checking the cameras, they hear sounds and see a light from within the mine. Patrick and Kristen decide to travel to the Baker County Library to investigate the 'Ballroom' and the 'VI' symbol by checking newspaper and book records. Kristen discovers a possible history of the room, called the Chamber of Reflection, and proposes a link between the room and the Free Masons. On the way back to the mine, Patrick and Kristen discuss the newly discovered evidence, and Stan discovers that Mikey and Bucket have not 'Brassed out'.
