Korn singer Jonathan Davis will be a guest presenter on an episode of Discovery Channel programme Ghost Adventures next week.
In the episode, which airs at 10pm Eastern and Pacific Time on Wednesday (April 30), the founding member of nu metal’s pioneers joins the Ghost Adventures team in exploring the Glen Tavern Inn, a “haunted” hotel in Santa Paula, California.
Warner Bros Discovery, owners of the Discovery Channel, have shared a brief snippet of the episode to YouTube. In it, Davis joins regular hosts Zak Bagans, Aaron Goodwin, Billy Tolley and Jay Wasley in searching for a paranormal presence at the hotel.
The clip shows Davis sit in a chair in a corner of one hotel room, where he says he starts to feel something supernatural. “I got 100 pounds on my shoulders right now,” he claims, before standing up and saying, “Yeah, bro, I can’t take this anymore.”
A voiceover adds that the singer later claimed to have experienced “visions of women being tortured by very bad men” while sitting in the chair. When Bagans sits down in the same chair, he claims to have a heart palpitation, which Davis then says he also felt.
“This is where it sits,” Bagans concludes. “I feel like I’m back in the dream again, Jonathan, and you’re in the dream again.”
Davis responds, saying the chair makes you feel “kinda high”. “It’s very euphoric,” he describes. “It’s a trip.”
