Hotels Are Creepy

This holiday season reached for the one butter that never disappoints, Kerrygold. Made with milk from grass-fed cows on Irish family farms, it's rich, creamy, and perfect for baking. Whether browning butter for cookies, or crafting the flakiest pie crust, Kerrygold's high butterfat content makes all the difference in flavor and texture. Holiday treats will taste extraordinary.

Hey Bobby, you know what's really, what, you know what actually is really creepy? Hmm. Tell me please. I feel like some of our topics were like, we gotta, we gotta reach a little bit to make it creepy. This one we don't. No, not at all. because today's topic is hotels. Hotels, motel, holiday inn. You know that song. But yeah, I'm very excited about this topic.

had a very easy time writing up talking points for this one. And yeah, I'm also very excited because one of the stories that I'm going to tell later. just happened this past weekend to me because I was staying. I mean, it was technically an inn, not a hotel, but it's still like a place.

I went to go stay at. That is not my own. Yes. So I'm counting it because we're not going to be doing an inns are creepy episode. Yeah. I mean, hotel, motel in. Oh, yeah. Holiday inns. They're all the same thing. Inns were the first hotels. Really? I mean, yeah. People would open up their big houses. But first, we're going to talk about what we like about hotels, because I do love staying at hotels. I do, too. There's a lot of really cool aspects. I was trying to...

Like brainstorm why I like hotels so much. And I think it's just kind of having all the bare essentials right there for you. If you're staying there for multiple. nights you have someone that comes in and like well now you can kind of compare it to like airbnb like yeah what do you miss a hotel experience when you're staying at an airbnb i mean it's nice to go into a hotel and you have you know if you go to like a nicer hotel where you have like maybe um

A restaurant in there. Or a bar. A bar. Like somewhere to hang out. Other stuff. You know, a pool. Other things to do. Pool. And your room is, you know. Room service. Oh, that's the best. We're waking up and just ordering room service. When you wake up and you're like. This day is just not happening for me. Or if you're tired or hungover and you can just pick up your phone and be like, I need this, this, this. And then, you know, 20, 30, 40 minutes later. And we always...

over order room service because I just get too excited. I'm like, I want to try this, this and this in bed. When do I ever get to do that? Yeah. You got to treat yourself. Hotels. Also, a lot of times. Which is funny because I'm later going to say how this is creepy. But like the beds are like big and nice and comfortable most of the time.

It depends. Most of the time, if you go to a nicer hotel, not like a luxury hotel, but like you go to a nice hotel. Yeah. Like not a motel. Yeah. I'm trying to think of the. Think of all the times you've been to a hotel and you get a nice big king bed and you're like, oh my god, it's comfy. There's some hotels, like one of the hotels. I've stayed at two haunted hotels. I'm now realizing when I wrote this, the talking points, but one of the haunted hotels that's in New Orleans.

Their beds were so comfortable that I still remember how comfortable they are. I would tell people that it was like sleeping on a cloud. That's perfect. Like when somebody gives you a fluffy, like if you go to a hotel and there's just a. And this is obviously like a nicer splurge hotel, but there's these like plush pillowy comforters. And then you picture like your standard hotel bedspread, which is like.

this quilt yeah it's like thin quilt that's just like most likely crappy pillows uh i that's my i hate when you go to a hotel And they give you like, they look super fluffy. And then you go lay them and they swish down all feathers. And you're like, oh, great. I usually need it. If I go to a hotel that has like bad pillows, I need to like grab all of them. And yeah, because I need a little bit more support then. I mean, this is definitely like an inch a privilege thing, but I.

wholeheartedly. But even even when it wasn't a privilege thing, when we had to watch our spending, I would always spend a little bit more to get a slightly nicer hotel because at the end of the day, like you're sleeping in a room. that thousands of other people have stayed in and done God knows what else. So I'm willing to pay more money in the hopes that the hotel I'm going to.

Spends more money on employees to clean the floor rooms better. Why, where were you going? I wasn't sure what you were... getting at, but yes, I understand. Historically, if you go to a nice hotel, they usually have nicer amenities, nicer paid, more employees. Hopefully, yeah. Hopefully.

or have more of a reputation to uphold. Whereas if you have a crappy hotel, they're like, yeah, that's what you get. Yeah, we don't care. Two stars. Yeah, it is what it is. It is what it is. Take it or leave it. You're paying 50 bucks a night.

Which I have, I've stayed at both types of hotels, so I get it. But yeah, I also like, this is weird because, so there's a lot of people who have a fear of staying in hotels by themselves. I don't know if you do. By myself? Yeah. No.

I have it is the one place where I have zero fear of staying like in actual if it's like a nice. Yeah. Like well-reviewed hotel. I. feel totally safe because i always like dead bull and then there's like many locks like you first of all you need a key card to get in which is kind of creepy because a lot of the staff can have access to that key card or it can be attacked yes but

There's also a deadbolt. Yeah. And usually there's also a deadbolt. And then there's like that thing at the top that you can also. I mean, not to burst your bubble here, but you can like get around this. Yeah, but you would hear it. Yes. You can't just be like or stand or somebody would see you in the hallway for that long. I'm trying to quietly.

get into a hotel i don't know and also there's some comfort in knowing there's like a bunch of people i think that's what it is and there's also like so if you were yelling somebody's gonna phone down and be like hey somebody's yelling in the other room i can't sleep like whether they care about what happens to you or not there's usually

lobby they have to go through i mean there are side doors normally but yeah they feel safe they feel safe they feel safe yes um doesn't mean they are but to me they feel safe Like rather than renting somebody's house, I feel very uncomfortable renting somebody's house. Like even the inn that we stayed at, one of the windows. Okay, so when I go to Airbnbs and or any sort of like place that has a main floor. Oh, that's why I feel.

safe in hotels too you're usually high up in the air so nobody can like break through your window yeah i mean unless they like come down they can yeah depending on how you know if you're on the second or third floor um yeah but normally If you're on the first floor, like, I think this is from living in New York City because people always told me never rent an apartment. That's.

on the ground floor because it's more likely to get broken into for sure i feel like that's always carried with me so like the inn that we stayed at this past weekend that i'm gonna be talking about had one window it's a very old and one of the windows would not lock and so I refused to stay on the main floor. It wouldn't lock like it was broken? No, I think I didn't have the strength.

You know those really big old windows that I used to have in like our apartments? It was like that. So I had to like reach. I would have had to reach to the top and like. I think the top one pain had to be pushed up and then the bottom one had to be pushed down to get the lock in the middle to get the lock in the middle. So I couldn't do that because I couldn't reach the top and I wasn't strong enough. Couldn't ask for help. Oh.

Chris, your sister? Don't make fun of me. Can you help me lock this window? Sure. I get worried about people breaking in on the main floor. It's easy. If the window is open, if the window is unlocked, you can just open it. Yeah. Why not? If somebody's looking for something, why not? It's easy. But also the same time, if somebody wants to break in, they're going to break in. Smash. Yes. Smash. It's more likely to have a break in if it's easier to get in. Yes. Do you know how many times?

People's cars get stolen because people just go around and keep opening car doors. Yeah, but they also just smash windows too. Don't question my lot. I'm questioning it because it's not flawless. I mean, it is. If you leave your doors unlocked, you're more likely to have somebody walk into your house easily. Yes. And it's harder for cops to find them. We went through this conversation. I know. So if you did get murdered.

They're like, well, we don't have any evidence because the door was unlocked. We can't. We don't know where they came in, where they came out. If it was somebody they knew, didn't know. Making the cop's job harder to solve your murder.

Gotta lock it. Lock it up. Be respectful of their time. Anyway. Yeah, I really like hotels. They're great. We're fans of hotels. They're not creepy at all. Episode over. Okay, when I was a kid. going to a hotel was like the coolest thing for me oh yeah can we go in the indoor pool can we get is there an arcade is there yeah some of the hotels had arcades oh yeah for sure i don't know if they do anymore but maybe

Sure. I don't hang out at arcades anymore. Oh, we didn't say that. So what do we not like about hotels? When the pillows are not supportive, when they're just feathered pillows, when you go to lay on it and your head just basically goes to the mattress. When they smell like smoke.

that's i feel like that doesn't happen as much no it's gotten a lot better because there's no smoke oh my god yeah there used to be smoking rooms probably do they not i mean i'm sure there are still hotels that have them

I don't think so. You're not supposed to smoke in public buildings anywhere. Maybe in Vegas. I was going to say in Vegas where people smoking in their rooms. I don't know. I mean, I'm sure people do it. Oh, yeah. But like if you get caught, you get you get like a cleaning fee. Yeah. Yeah. What don't I like about it? When you have loud, obnoxious people in the hallway. I was just going to say the walls are usually not.

well the walls between rooms sometimes aren't thick enough yeah or you just have loud people you got to deal with or yeah people in the hallway slamming doors at like three in the morning yeah not even slamming doors just leaving their door open so that it slowly comes back by itself and slams. Yeah. Oh my God. Every time it happens. I just want to like run out there and be like, Oh, sorry. It is 3am. Can you be a little courteous? Sorry. I'm drunk. I mean, I'm sure I've done it.

yeah but if somebody yelled at me i would have been like absolutely i am at fault i am at fault you may strike me down well especially i think it's it's even worse now whenever we go with like dexter to a hotel or melody i every time i hear it i like Because Dexter growls and or barks every time you hear somebody. Yeah. Melody will wake up. Be more courteous with closing your door later. Oh, just the fact that people can hide cameras in hotel rooms without you knowing. Yeah.

That's pretty creepy. Invasion of privacy. Not good. Or the fact that just like, I don't know, thousands of people have stayed at that room. Well, that's like the main thing is where you hope they're cleaning. You hope there's no bedbugs. You hope there's no like who is that comedian that said he used to like do gross things to the curtain drapes. And somebody asked why the curtain drapes. And they said, because they don't clean them. Oh, my God. I was like, oh, my God.

I saw a pretty cool hack where if you want to leave stuff in a hotel, you like clip it to the back of curtains. With like a, you know, like those clips. What do you want to leave at a hotel? You mean like when you go out for the day? Yeah, when you go out. You want to leave something like, I don't know, your wallet, your passport. You don't want to bring it with you. You clip it to the back of the curtains.

Cause it's not going to be in the safe. It's not going to, no one's going to look there. Oh, I gotcha. Yeah. So you have like, you know, those like paper clips things, like big ones. Yeah. I don't know. I don't know where I would put it in the safe, but yes, but like that's where people are going to look and they can.

Oh, I gotcha. I gotcha. Yeah. Or the maids can steal from you. What if the maids are cleaning though? And they like clean around the drapes and hit it. You just said that no one cleans, no one, they don't clean it. I guess not. Yeah, for sure. The mini bar. I both love and hate the mini. Yeah, it's just convenience. It's obviously way overpriced. Do you remember? I'll never forget. We went to PAX East in Boston. Oh, yeah. And the first time I ever went, it was like one of the first.

like really nice hotels i think we were at together ever and we i opened the mini bar and i was so amazed that they had like gummy bears and all this like really Interesting stuff. So I was like, literally like taking it out of the mini bar, like looking at her, like showing it to me. And he's like, have you been taking out of the mini bar? Like, yeah. I was like, I'm not going to open it. And he's like, okay, there's sensors. There's a sign on it. Do not take anything.

So I had to, I put it all back in and went down to the counter to tell them that I didn't, that I, I literally, I didn't read. I should have just been like, I don't know how to read. I don't know. I can't read. Think about the last time you had to cancel a subscription. There was probably some waiting on hold, some guessing at your password, some mind-numbing small talk.

I don't know why. I just hate when the shower is bad. I always like taking a shower. Like when it's a big open night shower, tidal shower, I feel like cleaner and safer. I always like taking a shower, getting clean at a hotel like before, you know, when you get there, leave, whatever.

and when it's just like a crappy shower like the shower heads bad is like really bad water pressure yeah Don't like that. I also don't like it was just us airing our groups that hotels can't promise me if I'm going to have an adjoining room that what in the hell? I feel like that has messed me up. So like it messes me up even more now because we have.

child that like needs their own space so that we don't wake them it's probably the way they fill them they're not gonna like well this room's ready but you know like they fill them as they come and they clean yeah I get it I agree, but it's just a matter of like the way they clean up. But like if I paid for it, I'm paying for it. Okay, so you pay for adjoining room. Yes. So, yeah, it does. Like, you know I'm coming. But it's hard. And even if I don't come, you still get my money because.

Unless I would tell you, like if you have a 24 or 48 hour policy, you would know. But there's probably no way of guaranteeing somebody, someone like because people are going to be overlapping, going in and out at different times. Like you'd have to block off rooms and you're like.

they're not going to want to lose out on a night. Yeah, but I'm still paying. Yeah, but what I'm saying is, like, if someone's in a room for three days and someone's in a room for one day and, like, there's all these overlapping gays, there's no... They can't hold two rooms. Yeah, they're not going to not...

For days that you're not going to be here. Put someone in a room. I gotcha. Yeah. Still annoying. About the money. Still annoying. Yes, it is annoying. Every room should be an adjoining room. That's creepy, though. You imagine just in the middle of the night, somebody's just knocking on your adjoining room door.

You know what's really creepy about hotels is when they have really creepy menu music for the TV when you turn it on. Remember what was it called? It's the same hotel, the Boston Hotel. The Boston, what was it? I have Continental. Yeah, the Continental. Boston Continental. Yeah, and I was like making fun of it because it was just like so overhyped. It was like a spa. It was like spa music. And they were like, welcome. Welcome to the international. I have it somewhere. It's on my Instagram.

There you go. Go to Bobby's Instagram. You can listen to the intercontinental. The intercontinental. All of your dreams can come true. Imagine a place so flawless and perfect. It's like. You're talking like it's a hotel, man.

Also, that hotel is really interesting because you literally have like if somebody wants to use your bathroom because we had his friend Ryan coming with us. And so Ryan would come to our room to hang out. But if you want to go to the bathroom, there's like this giant hole so that like. Like you can see. There's the hole.

big hole in the wall. I'm making that. It's a really nice hotel. It's usually like glass. It's usually like there's no, it was just an opening. Sorry. It's an opening. It was like a window, like a window salon. So like if you're sitting on the beds or like that.

The hangout area, the like main area. And you look over, you can see somebody showering. I don't know if it's like a romantic getaway type thing. Yeah. But anyway, but if you're going in there to like. It is kind of weird how they do it. It's like. How many people you think are going to utilize like, oh, I'm going to watch, take a shower. Or maybe some people like so they can watch TV while they're in the show. I don't know. It's weird. Like, why do they got to do that?

oh maybe because there was a bath in there too but still maybe they save money and the only thing you can do to make the walls maybe because you can cover it but it's this like flimsy like wooden thing that you can still hear and smell everything or if it's just like a glass wall where you can see like the outline well i'm pretty sure well i saw um

Clintus did a vlog where he stayed in a room where the shower was in the main was it was like a glass box in the main hangout area. So if you want to take a shower like nobody needs to be in your room. There's definitely like odd room layout set. yeah they're very weird interesting tubs in the middle of the room

I kind of like that. Well, only if you're in like a romantic setting. Otherwise, it's weird. If you went with your friends, you're like, who's going to sleep in the tub? All right, guys, we're going. Who wants to go in the tub with me? What? Oh, my next one was what have been some of your favorite hotel? The Intercontinental Boston.

I do like it. I do too. We've stayed there many times. Yeah, it's very nice. It's a very nice hotel. It was better than, remember, then we stayed at the Westin because it was like a tap. So the Westin was cool in that we stayed at the convention center, but like the Westin Hotel itself is.

It's whatever. Yeah. It was fine. I mean, I always, my favorite part of going to PAX East became just hanging out in the Western Hotel. The lobby bar, yeah. That's where everybody hangs out. Go to PAX, see some cool stuff. It's like, all right, let's go chill at the bar, have some drinks. Yeah.

Drink some Coronas in March of 2020. Oh my God. I still can't believe that was the last thing we did before a pandemic was go to a convention center with hundreds of, if not a thousand, thousands of people. Thousands of people.

With lots of people coming from overseas while a pandemic is happening. It's a miracle we didn't get it then. I always thought I did because I got really sick. I could have. Well, you were sick before then. Yeah. Which you probably were. You had it. You brought it. No, we didn't have any cases then.

but boston did that's why i was like we're going to the one place that has a case and then look at it now always liked we used to go to shit when i was young and i don't remember it too vividly but i remember like shades of green um in disney It was really nice. I think it's like an army. Yeah. I was gonna say, I've never heard of that. Usually all the Disney ones are cool. Anything with like themes. Yeah. So I have, I have two of those on my mind. I looked up the names cause I always forget.

But, oh, what was the Disney All-Star Sports Resort? Nice. Whose pick do you think that was? Your dad's. It was my dad's pick. Yeah. But as a kid, I... I mean, neither me or my brother really cared about sports. But there's probably a lot of stuff to do. But there was one of the areas, there was a big...

like outdoor center area. And it was a football field with two giant helmets on either side. And then like giant X's and O's on the whole field, like supposed to be a play and you could climb all over them. And we thought that was the coolest thing and like go hide in the helmet. We thought it was so cool. Yeah, we had that hotel. Then there was another hotel we stayed at there, too, that was themed, but I can't. I think it was maybe a Nickelodeon hotel.

which I also want to go back to now that we have kids like a Nickelodeon themed hotel. Sounds really fun. But then the other one we went to when we were a little old, when we were teenagers was the I looked it up. It's the Lowe's Portofino Bay Hotel at Universal.

orlando so it's like a universal studios hotel but it's uh modeled after little italy so when you walk around italian theme yeah it looks like it has like a fake bay with boat feet yeah it's awesome tied up i like when hotels have themes or like Yeah, it was so nice. Like I tell my mom all the time I want to go back, but it's so freaking expensive. Yeah. And the coolest thing is you can take a gondola.

Like they load up this like gondola boat and then they just you it brings you right into City Walk and like Universal. So you don't even need a car to go to the parks or City Walk. You just take that little boat and then you can go to like the restaurants, bars or Universal.

Yeah, I want to go. That's on my bucket list to do with our family. It feels like the hotel in itself is like a vacation or destination. Yeah, I love themes. I mean, where we went for our tiny moon was awesome. St. Lucia. Oh my God. I don't know how I forgot to put that on my list. stayed in a suite, or was it a suite? Yeah, it was a suite. Yeah, that was sick. We had our own tiny little soaking pool thing. Yeah, that was awesome. I want to go back there, too. I know, I want to go back.

I love that was my first and only experience with all inclusive, too. I don't travel much. No, we don't. Now we don't realizing maybe I said went once my. plan and future vision is like once our kids are old enough to actually go somewhere with us and either fully enjoy it.

Or and or be able to like hang out in the room by themselves and entertain themselves. Yeah. I mean, you can go to dinner like that age. I remember being at one point when we were traveling and it was a lot easier and we could like entertain ourselves and it wasn't and understand things. Yeah.

Uh, once, once like we get to that stage and I'm not working as much, hopefully by then I'm just, I just want to like, every time they have a break, we should be like, we're going. We're going. And me saying they, by the way, does not mean I'm pregnant. I'm not. Even though I'm wearing mom jeans. You know what place is cool hotels? New York City. Wait, is what? Has cool hotels.

does it yeah i mean like i hate new york city hotels because when i was working they're so tiny well that's what i like about i do like that brooklyn hotel though that we stayed out yes the one for youtube that's what i like about them is when they're smaller they have to like make them

kind of like cooler and more they have less space to work with so they have to get creative with things it feels like you're in like a little studio apartment i remember when i was working at fuse and i think they had extra hotel rooms or something oh i think i remember you

telling me this. And I got to stay in a hotel because we were working at we're doing like the Radio City thing. Yeah. Early. So I got to stay. I think we were dating then. I thought. And you told me that you were doing that. Yeah. Yeah. Take it.

I don't think we were dating them. Oh, I went to one of the best hotels recently that you didn't get to go to. We will go. We'll go to we should go to the Miami one or next time we're in L.A. we should go back. But it's called the one hotel. There's like there's one in New York City.

Or Brooklyn, I think. Yeah, I want to go to the one in Miami. We were thinking of going there. That's the main one. That's like the first one. John's been there and said it's awesome. The one I stayed at is in Hollywood. And again, it has a theme. And the theme is like. Feeling like you're outside even though you're inside. Nature.

Yeah, when you go in like in the morning, I had I had a flight really early, so I had to get up and be down in the lobby by like five, four or five a.m. And I come down and nobody's down there except this like very happy receptionist at like four or five in the morning. And they have music of birds, just like the music of birds, the sounds of birds. And there's like fake trees and whatever. And she's just like, good morning. She's probably super high.

I was like, I like your bird sounds. She's like, oh, yeah, it's so nice in the morning. Meanwhile, I don't know if she's like being. Maybe she's like, I'm going to lose my mind if I hear these birds one more time. It was very pleasant and nice. I'm really sad I only got to stay there like one night because I didn't get to fully enjoy it. But.

But yeah, like my room had all they gave me like a wellness shot. Like when I came in, there's this little like greeting basket. It was like little pieces of fruit, a wellness shot. And then like. They're like, this is, oh, they like wrote, they hand wrote a note to me. It was like, Lauren. Lauren. We hope you enjoy our stay. And then they're like, I still have this piece of paper I brought over. Oh yeah. With the seeds. Yeah. Cause it's like.

Feel free to plant this piece of paper when you get home. It has wild seeds in it. I was like, this place is crazy. That's such that it that. Hotel is such an L.A. Hotel that I was so obsessed with it. I was like, if you're going to stay in L.A., you got to stay at like a very L.A.-esque hotel. What's the other one we stayed at when we were there? Wasn't it like the...

Oh, that closed down. Sports club or whatever. No. Oh, that one didn't close down. It was like, yeah, that was the athletic sports club. That was cool. That was when we were very into working out and Megan suggested it. And we went to the gym there. Yeah, it was cool. I liked it there. There was like a huge.

track that it was cool oh we did kickboxing it was kind of like old it had like a very it was it was like an outdated like old vibe to it but it was kind of nice the other one we say that was really nice yeah that one closed down that was the um Oh my God. Cause there's one in New York city too. Oh, it starts with an N. Uh, crap. I forget. The nice hotel. There you go.

Yeah, it closed down. I'm pretty sure it may have closed down because that area got very, very bad after we had left. I mean, when we stayed there. I remember it was my first time ever in LA and I was like, this is scary. It was not a safe area. It was like downtown LA, like right at the cusp of where it was like getting not so great. I mean, when we went there, it was like very.

Cause you'd think LA and New York city kind of similar. No, not at all. We got it. Very different. We should, we really need to do an episode on New York city is creepy. And Los Angeles is creepy because major, major cities are creepy. Think about the last time you had to cancel a subscription.

I have gone to LA, what, three, four times now? Oh, the hotel we stayed at when we went and saw Phil. What was that? That was nice. That was a nice hotel. That was the Marina Del Rey. Ritz Carlson. That was funny story about that one. I used to book my old boss there all the time. not phil my boss before him um

And she refused to stay at any other Los Angeles hotel besides that one. And now I understand why. And I said, I was like, when we booked to go over that area to go visit him, I was like, we have to stay at this hotel that my boss like. always made me book her so that i can like i don't know live vicariously all those years of me being like oh she she gets to go to la i remember like cool they had the balcony overlooking the street in the bay yeah i'm sad we were only there for like one night

hotels that are cool i feel like i get to be at for like one night because it's just the overflow days that we're there well i have lots of scary stories oh do i have what about your oh i just said what are your least favorite hotels but i think we kind of I don't really there's none that stick out as like, I will never go here. Yeah. We've been at some weird places when we drive to and from Florida. There was one place I remember saying we're not staying here again if we. Yeah.

I forget why. I think it was just like a little dirty and loud when we went. No, nothing is sticking out as like a least favorite hotel. Oh my God, you know what my favorite hotel was? I can't remember. I got to ask what it is, but we used to stay at one hotel every. Oh, we might get to start doing that when we go. When we went to Canada, we would always stop. Oh, yeah. Actually, I don't know why we used to stop. I think we used to stop to like meet up with.

my uh uncle brian and sue and we'd stay at this hotel overnight like every year on our way we'd do like four hours there stay overnight and then we'd do like pool swimming and hanging out with our cousins and like running around the hotel. I can't remember what it was, but we used to love it so much. It was a chain one. But are you ready for my... For the spooks? I have so many. Good.

So fire away started earlier than usual in the episode. Do it. Well, the first one's still a personal account, so I figured it kind of fit to start there first. But I will say there are. So many haunted hotels or hotels with ghost stories or creepy things that have happened to them. I wrote in parentheses. What's up with that? My theory is that there's so many people going in and out that you're just bound to get.

Yeah, my theory is like something to happen. The space. Well, so yeah, but so many people go in and out of all other places to why hotels, I guess, because people are staying for an extended period. People are staying. Just people do. And you do things behind closed doors. Yes, dude.

Different things. My theory is also because a lot of these hotels tend to be haunted by people who like, I'm going to try not to say the word because I don't want to get flagged on YouTube or anything. But like they. Decide to. end their life in their own means by their own means i don't know a shorter way to say that without saying the word no you said it okay i'm just gonna have to keep saying that phrase um

So my theory is maybe people don't want to do that at home. Yeah. If they have like loved ones that they don't want to be around or whatever. Um, or maybe when you're staying at a hotel, you're just like really alone. And if you're in a dark place, maybe it makes it worse. I don't know. But, um, yeah, a lot of that's going to come up. So trigger warning for anybody with that, but not with that, but.

That is triggered by that. So anyway, I tried to narrow down the ones in the like these hotels are only in the US because God knows the UK probably has. We were just talking about. When we went to Lizzie and Joel's wedding, their hotel was like the hotel. No, it wasn't even a hotel. It was like a bed and breakfast type place. It was more like a B&B, yeah. But it was so old that while we were there, we had a great time.

Everybody there was lovely. But when we would go at night, we'd be in there. I was like, this room, this whole thing is so old. I feel like so much has happened here. And that's with any old building. I'm like, something definitely happened here in the amount of years that this thing. But I like that. I like.

going to unique places like that where it's built very you know you're not going to like a normal hotel where you go up an elevator and you just have rows we had i remember we walked up like stairs and there was like

There was like rooms on this floor. I think it was like an inn. It reminds me of like an inn. I like that. I like that. And then you can go down to like the lobby bar area. And everybody was chilling. There was like board games, I think. I like that. That was a fun place to like be with all of our.

friends during the wedding that was cool shout out to lizzie and joel for setting that up for getting actually i don't even think they set up i don't think they told us to stay at that place i think this one person was like we're gonna go here you know what i'll always think of when i think of that trip What was when Scott led Megan to the wrong way. She went on like a three hour train ride. And what's even worse is she was coming from like.

like she was coming from like a a tripper ready and was already exhausted i'll never forget when he like looked at the app and he was like oh i hope scott doesn't listen to our podcast he's gonna be like why did you bring that up i feel terrible yeah yeah she went to a different There was like the same name. Yes. But because when we were in Wales. Yes. Right. We were in Wales, not the UK. I was very confused by the whole thing.

That was a very nice wedding. I felt really bad. The place they had it at was really cool. Lizzie listens to our podcast. Shout out for a great wedding. That was awesome. Great time. Had a very good time. It was a lot of fun. Yeah, that was one of the most chill, like there was no issues. No, it was cool. Besides Megan. Really cool. Yeah, that was fine. That was Scott's problem. She rolled with it. I just remember picking her up at the train station and she was just like, kill me.

So anyway, I narrowed it down to the US because the UK probably has so many more. And I only chose ones that interest me. Because I'm the most boring person. And or ones that I've been to. Okay. I said like the first one, which is the one I just went to this past weekend. It's called the Atherton Inn in Boyertown, Pennsylvania, which I learned after I had visited there that it was dubbed one of the most haunted small towns in America. Dope.

Did not know that going into it. See a lot of ghosts. I'm really. No, I'm sad that I didn't. But lots of creepy things. Yes. I learned about. But shout out to my sister, Christine. If you want to go see what we actually did there and like more realistic, fun stuff to do in the town, then make sure to go check out her Instagram at Wild Precious Now. I was going to say .com. At Wild Precious Now on Instagram.

and YouTube. Go check her out. She has a whole highlight album if you want to see what it actually was like. However, I learned after I got home, because we had heard a couple ghost stories, and so I wanted to look up if they were actually true. because it scared us all so much that none of us could stay in our own room. So basically, we went to this inn that had been renovated. It was formerly called the Twin Turrets Inn.

And they renovated it into the Atherton like recently. The Atherton. And it's really nice. They like renovated everything with Pottery Barn. Do they need like an epic thing to play on TVs there? I can help them with that.

oh yeah you can voice welcome to the app they did have lots of they had lots of you know what tvs they had the ones that look like paintings that's cool all over the house it was very cool they had a lot of like amenities they had a piano that played itself which also kind of added to the creepiness because you would just see the piano like going and the things going on the bottom um you should set something up where like the chair moves and it's like someone gets up and then moves back uh

Yeah. So I learned on my drive over there because I showed up a little later. I had something to do during the day that there was a woman who. took her own life in the the third floor bedroom uh that now is occupied by like three twin beds oddly enough so nobody wanted to stay there anyway because nobody wanted a twin bed

And there was enough rooms for everybody to get the queen. But there was another room right next to it that they offered me when I first got there. And I was like, you want me to sleep on the third floor that's supposedly haunted? By myself. Like you're in the room next to where it happened. You're out of your mind. So I ended up having to. Ghost can't pass through walls. No, it's not even the ghost. I know. It's the like thought.

of that happening having happened in the room next to me I just don't think when I'm alone at night with my thoughts I don't think I would be able to get past it so anyway I stayed with my sister because I was a little scaredy cat

And so did most of the people. I think only two of the eight girls we went with slept by themselves. I think everybody else fucked up. And they probably got the best sleep. Probably. Yeah. Had a few drinks and just passed out. The ghost story that's accompanied with what I just like. told you so the ghost story that like we were aware of when we went there was uh that they when it was back when it was the twin turrets in they obviously were like renting it out to people and

They had rented it to a family. And on Saturday morning, the mother and father came down for breakfast, but their children were not with them. So they had two children that they'd come with. But then in the morning, the kids were just gone. The kids. The inn's current owner asked if the parents wanted to wait for the kids before eating breakfast. And the parents said they won't be joining us. We had to take them to their grandparents' house in the middle of the night. When the owner asked why.

The family said late last night, a woman came into the room and asked if she could get us anything. And then she vanished. And then the article says it was just Mary. Oh, her name is Mary Dilla Plain. We also knew this while we were staying at the inn this weekend because we just kept saying like, hi, Mary. Hi, Mary. We're good. We don't need anything. You don't have to ask if we need anything.

She was a live-in housekeeper for the inn's original owner, Horace Boyer. One morning, Horace came down for breakfast and she was not there. She eventually was found by a chauffeur who had to climb... in through a turret window, like one of the windows on the top floor to bypass a door she had locked and she had hung herself in the closet. So I had known that the whole night I was staying there and my.

cousins trying to like tell me it's all good she's like no don't worry like she's a nice ghost she just asked if you need anything she's like casper it's like well i don't want to see any ghosts yeah no thanks i'm pretty sure that would scar me i don't know if that would make me feel better

because i'd be like oh my god ghosts exist i saw one or if that would make me feel yeah it's something i'm like 50 50 on is like it would be cool but at the same time it's like yeah i don't know if i want that yeah but so there's been like several sightings of people saying they either like

saw a woman oh they said there was like a i think somebody was trying to take a picture uh and like in one of the reflect reflections of the window you could see like a victorian woman like a woman dressed in victorian clothing and that's when this this happened in like oh 19. I think the only way I wouldn't want it to happen is maybe like be in bed and like awake or sleeping and then just she comes in it's like oh god I wouldn't mind if I'm like somewhere else walking around or like

I don't know, in the lobby and you see it, but yeah. But could you imagine if you were a kid? No. And you were at night and some random lady just pops in and is like, you guys need anything? You guys want anything? And it just vanishes. You're good? I like how the parents brought the kids home. Yeah.

To their grandparents, though, and then came back and was like, nah, this is fine. We can deal with it. We need a night away. We need a night away from them anyway. Especially after the ghosts. They hired her to come do this. Yeah. And scare them so they'd leave. But yeah, that's the Atherton Inn that I personally stayed at this past weekend with my sister and our six cousins that were all there. And that's what's crazy. Like even with all those people in like.

So you can rent out the entire property, which is really cool. There's like nine bedrooms. So it's supposed to be for a group setting where you and it was really cool because you have a. You have a really big kitchen communal area. There's like a really big like seating area right when you walk in. It's very nice. It's like you kind of have a bed and breakfast slash hotel to yourself. Yeah. which is awesome for like a big group, but I was still scared after I'd heard of it.

I heard that apparently a couple buildings down from where our place was that we were staying, because like I said earlier, the whole town is haunted. There was a Rhodes. It was called the Rhodes Opera House fire in 1908. And it was so horrific that it's credited for many modern fire safety laws that we now have today. So there's your history fact.

for the day boyertown pennsylvania contributed to all the fires or not all some of the fire safety laws we still have now they used to have open fires and In the stand. I mean, basically. So it started with a single kerosene lamp. By the time the blaze was extinguished, 171 people had died. The opera house...

Now, like current day, the opera house was rebuilt with the same like footprint as the original. So there's this like when you look in, there's this very big staircase that goes up, like I guess up to like. Go down to where the opera theater used to be. But they rebuilt it. And on the bottom floor, there's now law offices or no, not law offices. Sorry, real estate agent offices. And then the top was redone into apartments because it was like.

structure above it or whatever um so the most famous story about it is that an agent once booked an appointment to view the rentals with a woman who brought along her son as they made their way to the apartments outside and The apartment's outside entrance, the five-year-old threw a fit, absolutely refused to go in. So they took him into the office to calm him down and asked what was wrong and why. He didn't want to...

Sorry, what was wrong and why he didn't want to go through the door. He said it was all those people screaming and running down the stairs. After the fire, many of the victims were later found in that exact stairwell.

crushed to death in the panic a fact that the boy didn't slash couldn't have known jeez okay and to top it all off and i think they're all like like the town's pretty like not secretive about it they think it's like cool history facts whatever which i agree gotta lean into it it does kind of like can't hide the it definitely made staying there like a cooler i don't know you like exciting it was more exciting you like the theme of haunted

I like the theme of haunted when other people are also with me, not by myself. But what's crazy is I saw my cousin had posted a like painting of a big building on fire. from our weekend and i said oh my god where was that because it was obviously like the opera somebody had painted the opera house like on fire and she was like oh you know that there was like a big bear statue that was right outside of our building

like right outside the inn. She was like, if you go behind the bear on the backside, it was just there. I was like, oh, so just like right outside our inn, there was a building. There was a painting of the building burning where 171 people died. She was like, yep.

so they're not they're not shy about no they're actively encouraging you to come stay here because i even asked i was like can i like poe because we were there like my sister was covering the inn as like a cool um like fun girls trip getaway which it was uh but i was like can we talk about the scariest i was like yeah they were open about it what's funny we had had like a lot of drinks

So I probably did need. So it would have been nice if somebody was checking it out. I mean, like, do you need a water, ma'am? Yes. yeah you're so like adamant like you can have some water and also you have like this old oh my god missed opportunity i should have came down in the morning and been like thank you to whoever like came and brought me water in the middle of the night everybody would have been like wait who do you

What do you mean? I'm like, oh, somebody popped like one of you. It sounded like one of you popped in and asked me for some like if I wanted some water. I said, yeah, and you brought me water. Oh, my God. Damn it. Could even text this opportunity. Yeah. No, because that would have been something I would have stated. Anyway, moving on to what I think is like the most famous hotel. Haunted hotel. Sorry, not the most famous hotel.

Are you waiting for me? Yeah, I'm waiting for you to say it wrong. Because I keep saying the name wrong. The Cecil Hotel. Is it right? I keep saying the Cecil. Cecil. Cecil. Cecil. How do you know? No, it's fine. I believe you don't have to look it up. Anyway, there was a Netflix documentary about this hotel. So if you want to learn more about it, go watch that. Cecil. Cecil. Cecil. Okay. Point proven. The Cecil Hotel in Los Angeles, California.

Dubbed the most haunted hotel in all of Los Angeles. Spooky. Okay, this one was crazy. I have so many stories about one hotel. I don't know. I mean, I know how it explains why, but like. My God, let's go. And like I said, if you want the full story, watch the Netflix documentary, I think was called the Cecil Hotel as well. It's very good. So in the 1930s alone, the Cecil Hotel was home to at least six reported people taking their lives. In their own accord.

I don't know if that's a better way of saying that, but rules. A few residents ingested poison while others used more violent means or jumped out of their bedroom windows. Damn. In 1962, 65 year old George Gianni was walking by the Cecil with his hands in his pockets when he was struck to death by a falling woman. Pauline Otten, 27, jumped from her ninth floor window after an argument with her estranged husband. Her fall killed both of them instantly. Damn.

In the mid-1980s, Richard Ramirez, murderer of 13 people and better known as the Night Stalker, lived in a room on the top floor of the hotel during much of his killing spree. After killing... After killing someone, he would throw his bloody clothes into the Cecil Hotel's dumpster and then saunter into the hotel lobby either completely naked or only in underwear.

None of which would have raised an eyebrow, writes journalist Josh Dean, since the Cecil in the 1980s was total unmitigated chaos. I love that line so much. They're just like, yeah. He's walking in naked. This guy just walked in naked and we were like, yep, that's our clientele. It's the 1980s. What's his name? He sees the top floor. Yeah. They were like, oh, that's just, what was it? Richard. Silly Richard.

Terrible. Oh, my God. And then in 1991, Australian serial killer. Oh, Austrian. Sorry, I can't read the thing. It's okay. Austrian serial killer, Jack. Okay, there you go. Who strangled prostitutes, also called the hotel home. So we got two serial killers that lived at this hotel for a while. They were drawn there. Well, they said it was like very cheap to stay there. It was like 18 bucks a night. So they were like...

do that instead of a mortgage. Another noteworthy guest of the hotel, which I didn't know this, was Elizabeth Short, who came to be known as the Black Dahlia after her 1947 murder in Los Angeles, she reportedly stayed at the hotel just before her death, which remains unsolved. What connection her death may have had to the Cecil is not.

is not known, but what is known is that she was found on a street not too far away from the hotel on the morning of January 15th. I've heard of like the Black Dahlia, but I have no idea. So it's like the most famous... unsolved case still to this day like gotcha still nobody but she was like what happened in the 40s right 47 yeah yeah so and she was like a very like pretty um

like up and coming actress so she had some notoriety and they when they found her like the signature was like she had her face cut like into a smile from like one ear to the other ear and also was like cut in half like her whole body so they said because of like how grisly and like they it became

she was noteworthy it was like a grisly crime and nobody had any idea who did it it just became like super famous okay i thought i think there's like theories that she may have been connected to like a serial killer maybe one of the ones in the hotel i have no idea um i forget i am

I forget. I used to know more about it. But the most well-known, which I've talked about with my good friend Gloom on one of my YouTube videos, like I think our first conspiracy video that we ever talked about. And then it was the main focus of the documentary on Netflix. But in 20 as as not that far ago as 2013, Canadian college student Elisa Lam or Eliza. It's Elisa.

Lisa Lam mysteriously went missing with her last moments being captured on a hotel elevator security camera where she appeared to be in distress and or having some kind of psychotic episode. I can't even explain this video to you. You have to like. I'm like getting goosebumps just like remembering what it is. Remembering the video. Yeah, it's very weird. It's basically like she's in the hotel and like panicking as if someone's like chasing her.

Yeah. And like she's kind of like peeking out, looking around, hiding, peeking. It's like she's like doing weird things with her hands at the same time. She was like, yeah, I don't know. It's very creepy if you haven't seen it yet. That's also part of the Netflix documentary. But anyway, that was her like the last moments before she disappeared. She didn't go in. Right. She like left the elevator. Right. She was like.

What's also weird. She left, yes. What's also weird is that the door is never closed. The door is never closed. It just stayed open. And she was like. For a long time. In it. And then she just left. And then the doors closed right after she left, which was weird. Yeah, it's very it's a weird video. There's also in the documentary some like remember they thought the tape was cut.

like that she was in there for longer yeah and they didn't know if like maybe that showed evidence of somebody being there with her that she was trying to escape i don't know um But anyway, in the weeks following, hotel guests began to complain of bad water pressure and a funny taste in the water. When finally, I like.

This whole part makes me gag so much. If you were staying at a hotel and then found this out. When finally checking the water tanks on the roof of the hotel, staff found Elisa dead inside the water tank.

Three weeks after she had gone missing, she was in the water tank. For three weeks, the same water tank that all the hotel... stairs we're using the water of and drinking the water of yeah don't drink the tap water and drink the bottle of water oh my god yeah and in that documentary they like interview people who were staying there during this time and i'm like i can't

I think that would scar me for life. I don't think I would ever go back to a hotel. Though authorities ruled her death as an accidental drowning, critics believe otherwise. That documentary was very...

interesting because there's a lot of things that don't make sense but then there's a lot of things that do make sense it could be as simple as like she was having a psychotic episode like well they said she was like the parents came out and said she was off her meds and she did have like psychotic she had issues she had like I think bipolar and something else. Um, but still, but then there was things like she wouldn't have been able to lift the like lid to the.

the water tank and then fall in and then also like how the hell did she get all the way up there and even like no to go up i don't know it's very interesting and the elevator video is super weird with the elevator not closing and her like definitely go check that out because it is

Creepy. Yeah. I mean, as of now, they ruled it as an accidental drowning. So there's no like looking into what else happened. But it's just it's weird. It could just be a really sad, unfortunate thing that happened to her. Or it could be.

I don't know if somebody was chasing her. I have no idea. Ghosts. And I'm not even done yet. So the last body that was found at the Cecil Hotel, I would have given up on it. I would have been like, yeah, it's cursed. I don't know what to do with this hotel. It was in 2015. A man who reportedly did the thing that I can't talk about. And ghost stories and rumors of the hotel.

Hotel's haunting swirled again. The hotel even served as the inspiration for a season of American Horror Story about a hotel that's home to unimaginable murder and mayhem.

The stay on main hotel and hostel, a $75 per night budget hotel for tourists. Several years later, New York City developers signed a 99 year lease. What? Yeah, I didn't even know that existed and began gut renovating the building to include an upscale boutique hotel. I was like, good luck with that. And hundreds of fully furnished micro units. In keeping with the surging co-living craze.

Perhaps with enough renovations, the Cecil Hotel can finally shake its reputation for all things bloody and eerie that has defined the ill-fated building for the better part of the century. So what's funny is... I know there's a guy that I'd met from a YouTube event that says like YouTube shorts. And one of his shorts is because he lives near the seas, like overlooking the Cecil Hotel. And it's just him yelling at people from like.

stories up of them like walking into the stay on the main hotel him just yelling like it's a lie it's a lie there's ghosts they're like don't do it yeah i feel like when places have they're haunted or have bad juju like that's just you can't mess with it bad because especially in that documentary they were like interviewing the owner of the hotel was that woman and like

I don't know. I feel bad because like it, uh, not necessarily something bad happens in your hotel. It doesn't mean that like your hotel is going to now be haunted or be a bad space, but like. so much has happened yeah that i don't know how you would ever shake that image off you wouldn't you'd have to just hope people either don't look it up but i'm sure some people are probably like or they want to yeah they want to experience it which is also a thing that

which is actually kind of the next hotel I had on here. Nice. Which is the Stanley Hotel in S Park. I think it's Estes. Estes Park, Colorado. which is a place a lot of people want to go visit because it's like a creepy hotel, but it's famous for being where Stephen King wrote The Shining and inspired the hotel and inspired the hotel that was in the book, The Shining. But.

When I was looking up information, nobody actually like died there that I know of. So the most requested room in the hotel, like people keep saying that there's ghosts. ghosts and stuff but there's no like evidence of something actually happening i guess just because the shining was written there yeah um but one of the most requested rooms in the hotel is number

217, which is where King stayed. The space is said to be haunted by the spirit of a maid named Mrs. Wilson. She was blasted out of the room while lighting a lantern in it, which had a gas leak, though she lived. So she didn't die there. The powerful explosion sent her tumbling into the McGregor dining room below and she broke her ankles. Apparently, Wilson.

isn't a fan of unmarried couples sleeping together and any unwed lovebirds who try to sleep in room 217 will sometimes feel a cold presence push them apart at night. Jeez. So she didn't die there, but people, I guess people are saying it was so traumatic that like after she died elsewhere, her spirit stayed there. I don't know. It's pretty interesting how, when you hear about stories like this, creepy haunting stories.

Where like if something bad happens in a place that bad energy will remain there. And that's what people kind of like will say something is haunted is when like something so terrible happened that like negative bad energy will stay there.

stays like a presence of like a negative presence and yeah there's a lot of things we don't know um well also jim carrey stayed in room 217 while filming dumb and dumber great movie And was so unnerved by the hotel that he left the Stanley in the middle of the night. Wow. Like, I did not know that. OK, so this next hotel, I'm like 90 percent sure this is the hotel I stayed at in New Orleans.

So I'm not a hundred percent, but I'm like 90% sure this is the same hotel. I couldn't look, but I don't know what I didn't. I didn't want to bother him. Okay. I was writing on my talking points. I didn't want to finish. Um, I'm pretty sure this is it. Like, so it's, I'll. double check with her after but it's called the bourbon new the bourbon orleans hotel in new orleans uh so new so i believe i stayed here

When I went to New Orleans. So New Orleans has long held a reputation as one of the most haunted U.S. cities. So it makes sense it's on the list, which I did know that. Yeah. When we went to this hotel. In the lobby, there's like a big poster that tells you all of the ghosts that supposedly haunt the hotel. Oh, so you know their names, get familiar with them? Yes. Oh, perfect. And that's why when I was reading this, I was like, I'm pretty sure I've heard about like...

I remember hearing about these. So that's why I'm pretty. And I looked at the outside of the hotel and it looked pretty similar. So I'm pretty sure like 90% sure this is the hotel, but it was a long time ago. But. The Bourbon Orleans Hotel was originally a theater and ballroom constructed in the early 1800s and destroyed by a fire in 1816. Everything just keeps getting burned out. Yeah. Because everybody was using kerosene lights. Well, yeah, they didn't have...

the stuff we have now um but again i feel like new orleans is such like a old like there's a lot of structures that have been there for so long that's why it's really haunted yeah so much stuff has happened and i feel like more messed up stuff happened back in like the 1800s then now um because nobody there was no accountability back then uh the remains were purchased

by entrepreneur John Davis, who rebuilt both the theater and ballroom. In 1881, the property was then sold to the Sisters of the Holy Family, the first Black American religious order in the country. the ballroom, and then in parentheses, the theater burned in another fire in 1886. I left that in. I was like, what the heck? Would serve as a school orphanage and a makeshift hospital for children sick with yellow fever.

The property was sold to Bourbon King's Hotel Corporation in 1964, and it has been welcoming overnight guests ever since. Visitors to the Bourbon Orleans Hotel have reported experiencing several different types of specters. Some have heard ghostly laughter of children, seen nuns who appear into the walls or had their personal items misplaced without explanation. Others have caught sight of a lonely dancer waltzing alone underneath the ballroom chandelier.

One of the most famous spirits. This is the one I remember hearing about. One of the most famous spirits of the Bourbon Orleans is the ghost of a Confederate soldier who can sometimes be seen marching solemnly in his gray fatigues. Damn.

So for a hotel and casino just shy of 30 years, it's not even that old, which makes it even worse. The Luxor has had a significantly high number of murders. People taking their own lives and unexplained deaths. Word on the Las Vegas Strip is that the Egyptian themed pyramid resort is haunted more so than any other hotel casino in Vegas.

The trouble started before the Luxor was even open. A wall collapsed during construction, killing at least two and possibly as many as seven construction workers. Exact details are still hard to ascertain as the hotel strove to keep the story quiet. basically they kept running going back to like hotels in vegas don't want to get a rep for being unlucky yeah like that's why they'll spend lots and lots of money to make like

bad things seem like they're not so bad. Okay. They're like, oh, only two people died, but it could have been seven. So we were lucky. Yeah. And then they're like, no, meanwhile, it was like 12. Go put all your money on it too. Oh my God. The first guest to meet an untimely demise was a woman who plummeted from a window on the 26th floor, landing in the area now occupied by the food court.

Guests say her spirit still wanders the corridors there 25 years later. In 2010, a rising football star, UNV... UNLV's. UNLV's DeMiro Reynolds. DeMario. I should just have you read everything. Got into the middle of a domestic... And I'm the one who stayed back because I couldn't read. What is going on here?

Got into the middle of a domestic dispute between MMA fighter Jason. I can't say that name either. Sindler. Sindler and his wife when all three were guests at the Luxor. Sindler lashed out. Reynolds fell unconscious and never woke up. Damn. Yeah. We got punched by an MMA fighter. Yeah. Especially if you fall and hit your head. Not good. But again, so we have somebody who fell, either fell or meant to fall or somebody who.

And then somebody who died in a fight. Yep. Going through all of my reasons why Vegas is probably haunted. Then there were three bizarre deaths within weeks of each other in 2012. An employee was murdered in the lobby in full view of hundreds of guests when her boyfriend seemingly lost his mind and launched a frenzied attack on her. By the time he was restrained, it was too late. Soon after, a US airman managed to accidentally...

access a lift shaft, and fell to his death. No idea. And then a guest died from Legionnaire's disease just after Tess came back negative and then retested as positive. Very weird. What is that disease? I don't know. I've heard of it, but Legionnaires disease. Yeah. Damn. I've heard of it, but I forget what it actually entails. Lastly.

Multiple rooms have been said to be haunted by the same mysterious blonde woman. Numerous visitors have reported waking up after feeling hands gripped tightly around their necks. They awoke gasping for air and their hearts rapidly beating. The majority of these guests also reported that right before being woken up with their necks in a ghastly grip, they were in the middle of a dream and not just any dream. They were all dreaming of an unknown blonde woman. There are several theory.

Oh, that was the end of that story. So yeah, there's just, nobody knows who this blonde woman is. They just keep having problems breathing in the middle of the night. It's okay. So we're not going to the Luxor. Got it. There are several theories as to what might be behind the incidents. Egyptianologists? Egyptologists? Egyptologists? Egyptologists. Egyptologists.

have been quick to spot that while the real pyramids are protected, like in Egypt, the real pyramids are protected by a sphinx facing in each direction, like east and west, the Luxor only has one facing east. Has this allowed something cursed to get in from the west? Yeah, people who study like, so basically that's why people in Egypt had two sphinxisms to like ward off evil.

like curses and stuff coming into the pyramids so because they only have one sphinx people think that that's why the building's cursed well there's so much like history in regards to pyramids that that you know that that makes sense but it could you know make sense that they built this pyramid and it's like well what are you inviting in you don't know what spirits or alien stuff

Curses and spirits love pyramids. You know, maybe they're just being drawn in by the shape of the pyramid. They love them. You build a pyramid, they're coming. They're coming. They just like the shapes of it. Draws them in. Sucks them in. It is creepy when we watched a few night guards.

video and how like all the like hallways are just open to like the main how it's just a pyramid so all the floors go up but like yeah if you're up top you just look down and well i think that's where the one woman fell because that's the food

I don't know if that's the food court. I would assume that's the food court. It's just a really creepy. I said, I was like, all the themes, but that one is just built. Yeah. So we watched, if you want to know a lot about Vegas hotels, we watched the Sophia Nygaard like video where she. stayed at every Vegas hotel on the Strip in like two weeks, I think.

yeah the i remember we watched the pyramid one and literally you could walk to your if you're staying in the pyramid you just have these hallways and if you look over the side it's just like goes all plummets all the way to the bottom of the building i'm like how are people not like getting drunk

and falling off or jumping off if they lose all their money yeah i'm i guess they maybe that's why they have the highest rate of because this is in vegas can't you not open windows in vegas isn't that like a law i thought that's most hotels oh that's true probably yeah

They don't want you doing that. They don't want you doing that. Yeah, most hotels. Don't do that here. No, I feel like we've opened windows. Yeah, I said most, not all. Or sliding glass doors where you could go outside. Yeah, I guess it depends. Yeah. They're creepy. They are for sure. I mean, you just got to think about it. There's so many people going in and out of hotels, in motels that you're bound to attract.

some bad things to happen or bad people or bad spirits so yeah they're definitely um i was happy to hear that most of this was not murder yeah most most of it Most of it was not murder. And thus I can still stay, feel somewhat safe at a hotel. It was either accidental deaths or the word we cannot speak. Now I will be creeped out every time we stay in a hotel now. I did my job. You did it. They are creepy. They are weird. Don't ever bring a black light to a hotel if you don't ever want to sleep.

In the office. Is it blood, urine, or semen? What do you say? I hope it's urine. I think those are the three things. I mean, to be fair, yeah, out of those three things. Yeah, probably. Oh, my God. I'm sorry for anybody. Now I want to go stay at a hotel. Yeah, I'm sorry for anybody listening to this if they're at a hotel or going to a hotel. Imagine that, yeah.

They're at one of the hotels that I'm talking about. What? I didn't know this. They're at the Luxor. I can feel the spirits being drawn in by the pyramid. Oh my God. And remember. Everything. Even pyramid-shaped hotels. Including pyramid-shaped hotels. Including. Especially pyramid-shaped hotels. With one sphinx instead of two. are creepy.
