Historic Griffin Hotel: Funhouse of Tricks · Echoes of the South

• 1:20
  Welcome to Echoes of the South.
• 1:23
  I'm Carrie Gunzell.
• 1:24
  Tonight we're investigating the historic Griffin Hotel in Griffin, Georgia.
• 1:30
  A building with more than a century of history, tragedy, and some rather unusual
• 1:38
  stories.
• 1:39
  Opened in 1911, the hotel was once a gathering place for lavish celebrations, while
• 1:47
  during Prohibition there were rumors of secret parties and even bear fights in the
• 1:54
  basement.
• 1:56
  But one of the building's more unusual chapters came when it became Sinister Suites.
• 2:03
  an elaborate haunted attraction where frightening people was all part of the
• 2:10
  entertainment.
• 2:11
  Today, the hotel has been restored, but the staff and guests continue to report
• 2:19
  unexplained experiences, including mysterious voices, strange noises, and apparitions.
• 2:24
  Could years of manufactured fear have changed the energy of this building?
• 2:30
  And could something still be feeding on that fear?
• 2:35
  Joining me tonight are spiritual medium Morrighan Lynne and lead investigator Jonathan
• 2:42
  Morgan Now, as always, we're not here to chase fear or label a location based on
• 2:51
  a single investigation.
• 2:53
  We're here to share what we experienced, ask questions, and explore the possibilities.
• 3:00
  And as always, we invite you to come to your own conclusions.
• 3:06
  Let's begin.
• 3:08
  Thelma thank you so much for inviting us into this beautiful historic hotel.
• 3:13
  Tell us a little bit about The Historic Griffin Hotel.
• 3:17
  It was built originally in 1910.
• 3:19
  The architect was was quite a famous architect out of Atlanta, last name Bleckley.
• 3:24
  Okay. there are several buildings in Griffin and in Atlanta that he designed.
• 3:29
  They opened it in 1911.
• 3:31
  And it opened as a hotel.
• 3:34
  The grand ballroom was here and there were lots of events in Griffin that were held
• 3:40
  in the ballroom. and it operated continuously through the sixties and then sometime in
• 3:45
  the early seventies the hotel was no longer and the building was used for a couple
• 3:52
  of other things.
• 3:53
  We purchased it in October of twenty three and it was it was a mess.
• 3:59
  Yeah.
• 4:00
  So we did demolition and clean out and then started building it back and we had
• 4:05
  our grand opening just before Thanksgiving of twenty four.
• 4:09
  Now I know 'cause I asked you already if you'd had any unexplained experiences and you
• 4:14
  said that you hadn't, but I know that there's some really fun legends and lore
• 4:18
  connected to the building.
• 4:19
  Absolutely.
• 4:20
  What are some of the ones that stand out for you?
• 4:24
  So there have been at least two documented deaths in the building.
• 4:29
  Very
• 4:30
  Right.
• 4:31
  early on too, that was in like nineteen thirteen and r I think in nineteen twelve
• 4:37
  there were documented deaths.
• 4:39
  I have to believe in a hundred and fifteen years there may have been others too,
• 4:46
  but we have those two that are documented.
• 4:49
  But also in the basement of the building during prohibition.
• 4:53
  There were parties down there, hidden parties, secret parties, and fights also.
• 4:58
  So a lot of those kinds of things. and and in the ballroom, I mean d
• 5:05
  magnificent parties that were held here.
• 5:08
  So
• 5:09
  Yeah.
• 5:09
  A lot of history.
• 5:10
  Yeah, there's a lot of history.
• 5:12
  And all of that, whether it is celebrating, you know, a milestone or a wedding or
• 5:18
  the fights or or sneaking in alcohol in the basement can leave an imprint in the
• 5:23
  building.
• 5:23
  Sure.
• 5:24
  So we're we're looking forward to getting into all of those spaces.
• 5:28
  Excellent.
• 5:29
  Well Jon and Morrighan have just arrived and Morrighan doesn't know anything about the
• 5:33
  building.
• 5:34
  In fact she didn't even know where she was going today.
• 5:37
  So they're gonna get settled and I can't wait to dive into the building and see
• 5:43
  who may still be here and wants to communicate.
• 5:46
  I'm excited to find out myself.
• 5:47
  Okay.
• 5:47
  A lot
• 5:48
  of people have had unusual experiences.
• 5:52
  Yes.
• 5:52
  Even your staff when I came in, they immediately came forward and with video and
• 5:57
  stories.
• 5:58
  So I'm excited to see who may come and talk to us tonight.
• 6:02
  Tell
• 6:03
  I I am too.
• 6:04
  me what you do here at the hotel.
• 6:06
  Well,
• 6:07
  I am the general manager.
• 6:09
  you had you had mentioned to me that you had had an experience with what you
• 6:13
  consider a mimic.
• 6:13
  Tell me a little bit about that experience.
• 6:16
  Okay. one afternoon I was sitting in my office, which is in there, which is a
• 6:22
  little bit removed from this area, and I heard my colleague say, I'm getting really
• 6:28
  hangry And my back was turned so I wasn't looking at her.
• 6:33
  And I said, Well, I think we have some leftover muffins over there. just grab a
• 6:40
  muffin or something and then they didn't answer and I turned around and there was no
• 6:46
  one there.
• 6:47
  Interesting.
• 6:48
  And then she walked by, she was there that day, but then she walked by a
• 6:54
  little bit later and I said, Catherine, did you just walk by here and say you
• 7:01
  were getting hangry?
• 7:02
  She said, No.
• 7:03
  So that was one.
• 7:05
  And then another instance was we have a basement door that's on this level and it
• 7:11
  just leads to a staircase that goes down to the basement.
• 7:16
  So another colleague and I opened the basement door and we heard two of our other
• 7:22
  colleagues downstairs in the basement just talking.
• 7:25
  Then later on we said, Well, we heard you down there when we weren't down in
• 7:32
  the basement and that same colleague that we thought we heard, she heard another
• 7:38
  employee here calling her name and talking to her kind of behind her back.
• 7:43
  And she turned around and she wasn't there.
• 7:47
  Interesting.
• 7:47
  Wow.
• 7:48
  So there's been a lot of experiences with that.
• 7:51
  Well I hope maybe somebody'll give that a try with us today.
• 7:56
  Yes.
• 7:57
  And I know you had shared with me as well in some video of some strange
• 8:08
  noises up on the second floor.
• 8:12
  Which sounds to me almost like doors opening and shutting or something.
• 8:20
  Like it's very strange.
• 8:23
  We'll definitely go up there and see if we can pick up on anything that might
• 8:34
  be happening up there.
• 8:37
  And like I told you earlier, we had a guest really kind of freak out one
• 8:43
  night when she was here because she was in a third floor room and she heard
• 8:49
  people walking around and her do not disturb sign flew off the door, she claims.
• 8:55
  Wow.
• 8:56
  Then she panicked and we said, Okay, well w we can move you to a different
• 9:02
  room and we put her in a room right below that.
• 9:07
  And she said she heard people walking up above her like all night long.
• 9:12
  She felt like there were people in the walls.
• 9:16
  And she won't stay here anymore.
• 9:18
  And she was a she was a business client too, and she just completely
• 9:24
  That did it for her.
• 9:25
  That did it.
• 9:26
  And that again was on the second floor.
• 9:28
  Interesting.
• 9:29
  And then we also had housekeepers.
• 9:31
  I could go on and on.
• 9:34
  I know.
• 9:34
  I was gonna ask if the the housekeepers ever encounter anything because they're up in
• 9:39
  these rooms all the time and when it's quiet or people have checked out.
• 9:44
  Yes.
• 9:44
  So we had some Latin American girls that worked here at one time and they were
• 9:51
  just kind of all in a tizzy one day and they were saying, Miss Laura, Miss
• 9:58
  Laura, we saw in room, phantasma phantasma.
• 10:01
  And I said, A ghost?
• 10:03
  And she said, Yes, yes, a ghost.
• 10:06
  And they said it went by the mirror like they saw a something go by them
• 10:13
  in the mirror.
• 10:15
  Interesting.
• 10:16
  Two different girls.
• 10:17
  On the second floor, second floor I think it was two thirteen.
• 10:22
  Right in the middle in that hallway is where I really think there's something there.
• 10:29
  Someone in two thirteen today.
• 10:30
  Tonight, I don't think so.
• 10:33
  It'd be cool to go in there.
• 10:34
  And there's also a little macabre story that I have.
• 10:40
  Yeah, please share.
• 10:42
  It's it kind of even surprised me 'cause I'm not really a ghosty person, you know.
• 10:48
  And I definitely think it was on the second floor. you know the story of Ira
• 10:54
  Cleary that passed away here or ended his life here.
• 10:58
  So I was getting off the elevator on the second floor and you just walk straight
• 11:05
  ahead and that's where the other girl was staying that freaked out in those middle
• 11:11
  rooms.
• 11:11
  Okay.
• 11:12
  And I walked off the elevator and I had this clearest image of just this gun
• 11:19
  this old timey gun coming like straight out at me.
• 11:23
  And it was just like the clearest vision and it just went and I was like,
• 11:29
  What in the world?
• 11:31
  Wow.
• 11:31
  And I kept walking and I was just like that was weird.
• 11:36
  Right, what was that?
• 11:38
  Weird.
• 11:39
  Do we know if that's how Ira passed?
• 11:41
  Was it a self inflicted gunshot wound?
• 11:44
  Okay.
• 11:45
  Yes,
• 11:46
  So it's like he walked through it.
• 11:49
  Like it
• 11:51
  That's what I asked a friend of mine too and he said a lot of times
• 11:57
  that's like residual energy like
• 12:00
  Like you walk through the scene almost where you're like, whoa, what was that?
• 12:04
  Yes.
• 12:05
  And I know like from the research I did, it didn't pinpoint what room that was.
• 12:11
  No, we've tried to find out but we can't.
• 12:15
  We'll see maybe if Morrighan picks up on that energy she might be able to tell
• 12:18
  us.
• 12:19
  Yeah.
• 12:20
  and see if maybe he's here.
• 12:23
  Yeah, but I definitely think there's something right in that middle section of the
• 12:27
  hotel
• 12:28
  Right.
• 12:29
  when you step off the elevators.
• 12:32
  Interesting.
• 12:32
  Mm-hmm.
• 12:33
  Well that's definitely gonna be an area we're gonna wanna check out for sure.
• 12:37
  Yeah.
• 12:37
  You've got a lot of fun stories.
• 12:39
  I think we're I think we're I think we're gonna have a fun night.
• 12:43
  Yes.
• 12:44
  I think you will too.
• 12:54
  Welcome to the Historic Griffin Hotel.
• 12:58
  This is amazing.
• 12:58
  We could feel like as we were approaching the building she was already getting
• 13:03
  Yeah.
• 13:03
  Well I was gonna ask you because that's my fav one of my favorite questions.
• 13:07
  So of course you know nothing yeah when you're driving here.
• 13:11
  Like you had no idea where you were going today.
• 13:14
  Was there anything that you might have been getting about the location on your drive
• 13:18
  in?
• 13:19
  I kept feeling like we're going to a hospital.
• 13:22
  It kept feeling like Not a permanent hospital, like a temporary hospital, like during
• 13:28
  an outbreak or a a pandemic or something temporary if that makes sense.
• 13:34
  And there's a basement and I feel like in the basement is where they would put
• 13:40
  all their bodies.
• 13:42
  Yeah.
• 13:43
  Mm.
• 13:43
  Interesting.
• 13:44
  Like like tuberculosis or cholera or whatever, like an outbreak of something and it
• 13:51
  feels like it was a temporary hospital.
• 13:55
  Well you say tu tuberculosis.
• 13:56
  Right.
• 13:57
  And that's
• 13:58
  Something that's that's kind of tied to something that's known.
• 14:02
  Okay. not d just that somebody actually had contracted it.
• 14:06
  Okay.
• 14:07
  Yeah. which is interesting.
• 14:09
  Yeah.
• 14:10
  And outside of it being a hotel, it's kind of had a few other lives.
• 14:17
  Yeah.
• 14:18
  Yeah.
• 14:18
  That feels true too.
• 14:19
  Like I couldn't quite get a lock on its identity.
• 14:23
  Yeah.
• 14:23
  But it was built as a hotel and of course today it's also a hotel.
• 14:28
  So it's kind of bookended as a hotel, but it has had some other lives in
• 14:33
  between.
• 14:34
  As many of these buildings do.
• 14:36
  Mm-hmm.
• 14:36
  Do you get a sense of maybe where you wanna go to first?
• 14:41
  No.
• 14:41
  It's so active I feel a little anxious.
• 14:44
  Like not my anxiety, but like
• 14:47
  Michael, were you saying that the light behind us was flickering?
• 14:51
  Yes. now there are that's not an unusual area for activity we've been told by the
• 14:58
  staff.
• 14:59
  So maybe there's someone seated there that maybe wants to say hello.
• 15:05
  I'm Jonathan.
• 15:06
  I'm more again.
• 15:07
  I'm Carrie.
• 15:08
  And, I'm Michael.
• 15:10
  So if you wanted to say hey to us, I've got a mic on, we can
• 15:15
  maybe record you.
• 15:16
  it is, it's like dimming.
• 15:18
  Like a a dimming hello.
• 15:21
  It is flickering.
• 15:23
  Is this where you like to hang out and watch?
• 15:26
  Watch the street?
• 15:28
  Yeah.
• 15:29
  It's a beautiful spot.
• 15:31
  nice introduction to the ho
• 15:33
  absolutely.
• 15:33
  I love it, right in the lobby, right by the door.
• 15:36
  I
• 15:37
  It's in it but
• 15:38
  just did it again.
• 15:40
  I keep seeing it.
• 15:42
  Yeah.
• 15:43
  You like the window.
• 15:46
  Watch the traffic, watch the people.
• 15:50
  Mm.
• 15:50
  And what's interesting about the electrical is let's say the air conditioner turns on
• 15:55
  and it'll and it'll drain the electricity for a moment.
• 15:58
  Right.
• 15:59
  That's just once.
• 16:00
  Right.
• 16:00
  Yeah.
• 16:01
  And the other lights aren't doing
• 16:03
  No, it's just this little lamp.
• 16:05
  And I we've been down here talking to the staff, talking to the owner, and I
• 16:13
  didn't notice that flickering.
• 16:15
  And this lamp is connected to that socket which is on the same line of that
• 16:19
  lamp and that lamp is steady.
• 16:21
  So
• 16:22
  So
• 16:23
  it's stay it's this perimeter.
• 16:29
  Mm-hmm.
• 16:29
  So I'm getting like kind of
• 16:32
  looking at I'm like Morrighan's getting something out
• 16:34
  getting hit in the chest, it feels like like grief.
• 16:39
  Feels like heavy grief.
• 16:42
  Mm like someone waiting, longing for someone.
• 16:47
  I don't know yet.
• 16:48
  It just my chest feels tight.
• 16:51
  I feel like it like when you have deep grief, like you can't breathe.
• 16:57
  Like it feels like that.
• 16:59
  Am I feeling you?
• 17:01
  Is that you?
• 17:03
  Are you waiting for someone?
• 17:06
  And just to mark, we do have some people in the background, some voices.
• 17:15
  Are you waiting for someone?
• 17:19
  Feel like tonight's gonna be big.
• 17:20
  We haven't even put our stuff down.
• 17:22
  Wow.
• 17:22
  Do you feel like it's male or female?
• 17:24
  I feel like it's male.
• 17:26
  I do.
• 17:27
  I'm wondering if it's Yeah sh I don't know if I should say the name.
• 17:32
  Like it.
• 17:33
  Wasn't he waiting for
• 17:36
  Can I say his name?
• 17:37
  Yeah.
• 17:39
  Ira, is that you?
• 17:41
  I just got like so sad. my gosh.
• 17:47
  I'm going to sit.
• 17:48
  So the report is is that his he he was seen talking to his wife outside
• 17:54
  and he took his life in the hotel.
• 17:58
  We don't know what room and it was like nineteen twenty three or something.
• 18:03
  It was it's a very long time ago.
• 18:07
  Yeah.
• 18:08
  The story from what we know, she had separation from him and she had purposely
• 18:14
  separated and he really didn't understand why was that the case.
• 18:20
  Yeah, I don't know that he knew why.
• 18:23
  Yeah.
• 18:24
  He didn't fully understand why she was separated, like wanting a divorce maybe.
• 18:31
  And she didn't want him to be infected.
• 18:36
  Wow.
• 18:39
  Terribly.
• 18:39
  And he was young, like in his twenties.
• 18:43
  Didn't he wait for her here?
• 18:46
  Well they had had they had been seen having a conversation outside and then he came
• 18:53
  inside and the next day he didn't come down for breakfast and then he didn't come
• 19:00
  back down for lunch, so they sent somebody up and they found him in this room.
• 19:07
  and I wonder if he sits Yeah I wonder if he sits there and like waits
• 19:15
  for her.
• 19:16
  Wanna do the ghost meter?
• 19:18
  Yeah, let's do that.
• 19:19
  We're gonna talk with you a little bit, okay?
• 19:24
  I also don't know if he knows I don't want to say too much.
• 19:34
  So we're just turn that down.
• 19:37
  We're just gonna have a conversation, okay?
• 19:40
  First I wanna establish is your name Ira?
• 19:45
  What we do is we do one for yes, two for no.
• 19:51
  Is your name Ira?
• 19:53
  No.
• 19:54
  Okay.
• 19:56
  Okay.
• 19:58
  Is Ira here right now?
• 20:02
  Can Ira hear my voice?
• 20:07
  Yes.
• 20:09
  So yes, in the light.
• 20:10
  The light flickered too.
• 20:12
  Yeah, 'cause I think he's standing right there.
• 20:15
  Are I'm so sorry I missed that.
• 20:18
  Are you his wife?
• 20:20
  Can you do that again?
• 20:23
  No, okay.
• 20:25
  It's so busy.
• 20:26
  Like we're just gonna need to set up and ride the ride.
• 20:31
  It just feels like it's so active.
• 20:35
  Well this is a really interesting place to start and to me it feels based on
• 20:40
  what we know about the claims and the experiences here that maybe going up to the
• 20:45
  second floor feels more like a natural flow from this and maybe if there is somebody
• 20:51
  here that's tied to the second floor that they may meet us up there.
• 20:56
  Two thirteen you said?
• 20:58
  Thirteen.
• 21:01
  One more on the left.
• 21:03
  Right here.
• 21:04
  Yeah.
• 21:06
  no.
• 21:07
  Just but just wait.
• 21:10
  I'm dizzy.
• 21:12
  Are you okay?
• 21:15
  Ooh, it feels like fun house.
• 21:17
  Literally like fun house where the walls are doing this.
• 21:21
  When we came up here, Jon, the first time and the elevator door opened, I looked
• 21:26
  down this hall and I saw it kinda go like this.
• 21:29
  But I didn't feel it, I just saw it for a second.
• 21:33
  Yes, yeah, like the tilt a wheel.
• 21:35
  Yeah.
• 21:36
  Mm.
• 21:37
  You okay?
• 21:40
  It hasn't passed yet.
• 21:48
  It's really weird.
• 21:49
  Mm.
• 21:49
  It's just like
• 21:51
  We chose wise like this.
• 21:54
  Let's go.
• 21:54
  Let's go in.
• 21:56
  Are you sure?
• 21:57
  Yeah.
• 21:58
  It's not changing, so let's go see what's in there.
• 22:02
  Yeah, I've got my camera.
• 22:04
  What you need?
• 22:06
  Be right back.
• 22:08
  you
• 22:14
  what are we doing?
• 22:21
  I'm going hit record.
• 22:28
  Okay, so there's definitely other guests.
• 22:30
  Is that the building just shifting?
• 22:32
  I don't know.
• 22:33
  From the heat of the day?
• 22:35
  I don't know.
• 22:37
  But that's the same noise.
• 22:39
  It's all in the walls.
• 22:42
  That's a guest, I think, but the cracking.
• 22:52
  Motorcycle.
• 22:55
  Motorcycle, but what is all the cracking?
• 23:05
  Is it wood joints from the heat of the day like settling and popping?
• 23:11
  it like that, like in a old building before.
• 23:14
  And they're builders, right?
• 23:15
  Yeah.
• 23:16
  The people that...
• 23:17
  Yeah.
• 23:17
  So they would know.
• 23:19
  you
• 23:23
  Alright, let's just get the sound
• 23:57
  There were two housekeepers that came running down that had an experience in this
• 24:03
  room.
• 24:03
  So seeing that you were feeling dizzy outside in the hall.
• 24:08
  I don't know if that's connected or I don't know how you're feeling when you now
• 24:15
  that you're inside.
• 24:17
  Yeah, the the hallway feels like a fun house.
• 24:20
  It feels like
• 24:21
  I just felt
• 24:23
  And it's it's in here too, but it's not as bad.
• 24:28
  It feels like the concentration of it is in the hall and and then walking in,
• 24:35
  stabilizing a little bit. but something's not right about the room.
• 24:40
  Like so as you guys were setting up and you know, going down the hall and
• 24:47
  listening to the things, I've been trying to settle and and my process is ground into
• 24:54
  the space, open up third eye, see what's here, feel what's here, but it feels very
• 25:02
  thick, like cloaked. l and I feel tired, like I feel zapped, there's a that
• 25:08
  something's not right in the room and I haven't been able to see or feel what
• 25:16
  that means.
• 25:17
  And now the more I talk about it I'm getting a headache in the third eye
• 25:24
  and at the base of my skull.
• 25:27
  And I feel really disoriented.
• 25:29
  I feel like none of us are grounded.
• 25:33
  We're kinda caught up in that fun house energy where everything feels, you know, silly
• 25:40
  and ungrounded and kind of chaotic.
• 25:43
  Do you feel like that's by design that something wants to keep us not grounded in
• 25:49
  focused?
• 25:50
  It's it's yes, it's possible.
• 25:51
  Like it's really rare for me. so I have certain signals when I can't see something,
• 25:57
  not to sound arrogant, but that's usually something keeping me from seeing something.
• 26:02
  Because I can usually see what I want to see.
• 26:06
  So when I it's like I'm trying to open my eye, my third eye, but something's
• 26:12
  like pushing down on it.
• 26:14
  And so I'm fighting it and it's pushing down on it.
• 26:18
  So something is trying to stay hidden for whatever reason it wants to stay hidden,
• 26:24
  Right.
• 26:25
  I don't even know if it's human.
• 26:27
  I don't know what it is.
• 26:28
  I know that it's intelligent because there has to be a certain level of awareness to
• 26:33
  combat with me like that.
• 26:35
  The more we talk about it, the more the secret becomes out.
• 26:39
  Yeah, I just feel I just felt I was like doing this.
• 26:42
  There's a yeah, yeah.
• 26:43
  It's not a r normal room.
• 26:46
  Mm.
• 26:47
  Something's in here.
• 26:48
  I don't know if it's room oriented or if it's following us.
• 26:53
  Yeah, I don't know that yet.
• 26:56
  And we're not the only ones that have experienced something in here.
• 26:59
  Yeah.
• 27:00
  So the two housekeepers that were in here they actually visually saw something.
• 27:07
  So
• 27:09
  Did they describe what they saw?
• 27:10
  They saw a reflection in the mirror.
• 27:11
  Yeah, passing by.
• 27:11
  Two
• 27:12
  Human Okay.
• 27:13
  And they think it's
• 27:17
  women saw.
• 27:17
  So they must have both been working in there and they had seen it.
• 27:23
  There's been multiple people that have had experiences, not just this room, but on the
• 27:30
  second floor, the GM when she got off the elevator, which is right there, had an
• 27:37
  experience.
• 27:38
  Right.
• 27:38
  So Which she felt was tied to Ira possibly.
• 27:42
  And we don't know what room he was in.
• 27:46
  He could have been in this room or
• 27:50
  But it but he's on this floor.
• 27:52
  we don't know.
• 27:53
  It's not documented. gotcha. 'cause it's so old.
• 27:57
  I don't feel like it's him 'cause that's that he has a sweet feel, like a
• 28:02
  sweet soul feel.
• 28:03
  Yeah.
• 28:04
  There's more than one thing going on on this floor though.
• 28:08
  That's not the only thing going on.
• 28:10
  I feel like it is feeding off the spirits of the building. going up and feeding
• 28:16
  and so it doesn't want us to figure out what's going on.
• 28:21
  Is it something like what we just encountered at Switch?
• 28:31
  Not just not exactly the same.
• 28:33
  Okay.
• 28:34
  Can I walk
• 28:36
  Okay.
• 28:37
  through the hallway real quick with this camera?
• 28:38
  Yeah.
• 28:39
  See how you feel.
• 28:40
  Yeah,
• 28:42
  Yeah.
• 28:43
  go for it.
• 28:44
  What did we decide a wraith was?
• 28:47
  that is a past person that was very tormented and very violent and very what's the
• 28:55
  word I'm looking for, has perverted humanity within itself.
• 29:01
  That's what that feels like out there.
• 29:04
  So it was human
• 29:07
  and then it gets like how does that happen?
• 29:11
  Yeah.
• 29:12
  It does such atrocities in its life that it will fracture its own soul and then
• 29:19
  it becomes a lower see it's starting to push on me.
• 29:24
  That's how I know we're on to something.
• 29:28
  So it's like a lower vibration.
• 29:30
  Okay, so the human does such terrible things in its lifetime that it fractures its own
• 29:36
  soul.
• 29:37
  And so when the human passes and the sheds of the physical body, now you have
• 29:43
  this fractured soul.
• 29:44
  Of course, there's not gonna cross over, but there's a starvation about it.
• 29:49
  It feeds.
• 29:50
  And so one of the ways it'll feed is it'll either feed on the living, it'll
• 29:56
  drain their life force.
• 29:58
  That's what happened to me when we walked in.
• 30:01
  I felt tired all of the sudden.
• 30:04
  The fun house kind of stuff that goes on, that's part of it, the disorienting.
• 30:10
  especially being who I am, it w doesn't want me to see that, so it's gonna
• 30:16
  hit me hard.
• 30:17
  So I've been just trying to figure out like what is happening in this room.
• 30:23
  It's not the room, it's just targeting us.
• 30:26
  Mm-hmm.
• 30:27
  It just went really quiet.
• 30:29
  Like I think it just left.
• 30:32
  So you think it's a wraith?
• 30:34
  It's possible.
• 30:36
  Yeah.
• 30:38
  No clicking, no, No clicking.
• 30:40
  So let me ask you this.
• 30:42
  So something that we talked about in episode one was a collective, a belief or
• 30:48
  expectation.
• 30:49
  A haunting or folklore or anything.
• 30:52
  So for many, many years and right before they bought this hotel and converted it back
• 30:59
  to a hotel, it was known as the Sinister Suites and it was a haunted hotel
• 31:05
  attraction.
• 31:06
  And what from what I've been told is that it was very intense and very gory.
• 31:13
  They themed out the rooms, people would walk around and there'd be all of these really
• 31:20
  high intensity, gory, scary scenes.
• 31:22
  Could that I don't know if it can create a wraith, but can it attract one?
• 31:29
  Yeah.
• 31:29
  Because people are coming in and screaming and running and that anticipation.
• 31:35
  As you're talking, I feel it's back in the room again and it's it's like hey
• 31:40
  it's like smashing my head right now.
• 31:43
  Because it can't create a wraith, but it can attract I mean it will be attracted
• 31:48
  to a building like that because all of that fear and heightened energy is food.
• 31:54
  The sign is still downstairs in the basement.
• 31:56
  The Sinister Suites.
• 31:57
  In the basement.
• 31:57
  That's what they called it.
• 31:58
  So we're going down to the basement next.
• 32:00
  My gosh.
• 32:01
  Let's go.
• 32:02
  Let's do it.
• 32:05
  Down to the basement. man.
• 32:54
  my gosh.
• 32:56
  There it is.
• 32:59
  Sinister Suites Haunted Hotel.
• 33:03
  Jon you you mentioned that when we came down here when we were getting the tour
• 33:09
  that you noticed somebody in the hallway.
• 33:12
  Mm, I saw someone back here.
• 33:13
  Yeah, I saw someone back here.
• 33:15
  Like we we walked in, we were looking this way and as we were walking, I'm
• 33:21
  I'm looking over here and out of corner of my eye, I saw someone shift and
• 33:26
  move over.
• 33:26
  It was about this tall.
• 33:28
  Don't know if it was male or female.
• 33:31
  is that the that just came on.
• 33:34
  it's
• 33:36
  Yeah.
• 33:37
  Fear, the anticipation, the what people believe about the building, what people
• 33:43
  believe they experienced, and then the lore and the stories that get told over and
• 33:51
  over and over.
• 33:53
  Yeah.
• 33:54
  It's like a battery, it's like feeding.
• 34:00
  Do you work down here?
• 34:04
  No.
• 34:06
  Are you the person Jon saw earlier?
• 34:15
  No.
• 34:18
  Are you hiding?
• 34:24
  Not hiding.
• 34:27
  What were you thinking? do you live here?
• 34:39
  And you don't work here.
• 34:40
  he's gone.
• 34:41
  So I wanna know are did you f did you follow us from the second floor?
• 34:50
  Did you come?
• 34:52
  No.
• 34:53
  And just so we're clear, we do one for yes, two for no.
• 34:57
  Does that does that make sense to you?
• 35:00
  So one needle
• 35:02
  One for yes, two for no.
• 35:07
  Smart ass.
• 35:08
  what I was gonna ask is, are you lying to us?
• 35:11
  Because we keep getting no repeatedly.
• 35:14
  We've only got no's.
• 35:15
  No.
• 35:16
  We're only got no's seven
• 35:18
  You're tricking us.
• 35:19
  times.
• 35:19
  That's true.
• 35:20
  And that has like never happened.
• 35:22
  You're tricking us, aren't you?
• 35:26
  Yes.
• 35:26
  No.
• 35:27
  No.
• 35:28
  But I heard yes.
• 35:30
  Yeah.
• 35:31
  We're on to something, aren't we?
• 35:34
  You're not really You're
• 35:36
  No.
• 35:36
  Every answer's no.
• 35:38
  not really a good person.
• 35:42
  You're a trickster.
• 35:45
  Like little no.
• 35:48
  It was a little no.
• 35:50
  Are you the trickster that you play with the people who work here?
• 35:58
  Never I've never seen that many no's We know you're lying.
• 36:00
  I know you're lying.
• 36:02
  It feels like yes though.
• 36:05
  There is a trickster in the building.
• 36:11
  I was just thinking, do you like to mimic people?
• 36:13
  Do you like to
• 36:14
  There's a mimic in the building.
• 36:17
  Yeah.
• 36:18
  Do you like to mock people?
• 36:24
  A little ye was that a yeah?
• 36:25
  Yeah, the needle just hard.
• 36:27
  Yep.
• 36:28
  There's a mimic in the building and several employees have encountered it, including
• 36:32
  down here, and it mimics other employees' voices that are working that day, but
• 36:37
  they're not in the area where people are hearing them.
• 36:40
  And that might be it.
• 36:42
  Yeah.
• 36:42
  And it knows we're here because she was talking about it.
• 36:46
  That's right.
• 36:47
  We have never had that many like twelve, thirteen nose in a row.
• 36:51
  Yeah.
• 36:51
  But some of them there was the like yeah like the high it felt like yeah
• 36:57
  I was hearing yes like where it's like being a trickster.
• 37:00
  Yeah there's a mimic in the building something else we've talked about
• 37:05
  Yeah.
• 37:06
  It has it all.
• 37:08
  This building has everything
• 37:14
  It does.
• 37:14
  Alright, we got another big
• 37:17
  Are you the mimic?
• 37:21
  Are you still here?
• 37:26
  Like to trick people.
• 37:28
  Yeah, another no, and that's yeah, we've never had.
• 37:34
  So let me ask you this then.
• 37:37
  Is this hotel your home? never leave it must be home.
• 37:43
  But you don't think it's home, but it is home.
• 37:49
  It's getting a little like panicked now.
• 37:53
  We're like on number 15 of no's.
• 37:56
  Do you need anything?
• 37:59
  No!
• 38:01
  Are you intending to do harm?
• 38:06
  It was like no.
• 38:10
  Are you talking to us right now?
• 38:17
  I'm trying to trick it too.
• 38:24
  But then we know because you are talking to us right now.
• 38:29
  Can you mimic one of us?
• 38:31
  If you're the trickster, can you Yes.
• 38:35
  That was arrogant, yes.
• 38:36
  Can you mimic one of us?
• 38:41
  One of our voices?
• 38:44
  While we're here.
• 38:47
  Yes.
• 38:49
  Yeah.
• 38:52
  he's off to do his work.
• 38:54
  Check the mics during this time.
• 38:59
  Almost feels fairy like where they're like little tricksters, like little but I don't
• 39:03
  know that they are.
• 39:05
  Mm-hmm.
• 39:06
  But everything I've heard about mimics
• 39:08
  They're back.
• 39:09
  everything I are you a human soul?
• 39:15
  Would you call yourself a human?
• 39:20
  One for yes, two for no.
• 39:26
  No.
• 39:28
  See, I just I don't I don't like mimic energy 'cause tricksters have fun feeling, but
• 39:35
  they're not fun.
• 39:37
  Mimics are malicious.
• 39:38
  Mimics try to make people go insane.
• 39:41
  They gaslight.
• 39:42
  They gaslight.
• 39:43
  Mimics are not good.
• 39:45
  You're a gaslighter.
• 39:48
  Maybe we should kick him out of here.
• 39:52
  Yes.
• 39:54
  That was that was a go ahead if you think you can, yes.
• 39:59
  Right.
• 40:00
  Mm.
• 40:01
  Yeah.
• 40:02
  So do you enjoy this conversation?
• 40:06
  Yeah.
• 40:08
  Yeah.
• 40:09
  You're having fun with it?
• 40:12
  Quite entertaining.
• 40:14
  Yeah.
• 40:15
  Quiet, yeah.
• 40:16
  Are you following us throughout the building?
• 40:18
  He's left.
• 40:19
  Interesting.
• 40:20
  Yeah.
• 40:21
  Well the mimic's definitely been heard down here by the staff.
• 40:28
  But also in the the front desk area and the office area.
• 40:35
  Right.
• 40:36
  There's another area that it's been heard.
• 40:41
  I'm not sure what to do with this one.
• 40:44
  Is it harmful?
• 40:45
  Is it harmful? 'Cause
• 40:47
  Can
• 40:48
  they know it's there.
• 40:49
  Right.
• 40:49
  And they know like when they turn and look and it that person's not there or
• 40:54
  that person's not in that area, they just go, it's the mimic.
• 40:57
  It's back.
• 40:58
  we're gonna ask you to start being honest with us.
• 41:01
  And once is yes.
• 41:03
  Thank you.
• 41:04
  Exactly
• 41:05
  Yes, thank you.
• 41:06
  that.
• 41:07
  Do you enjoy this building?
• 41:10
  Do you like being here?
• 41:14
  Yes is one.
• 41:16
  Thank you.
• 41:17
  Do you like the people that work here?
• 41:23
  Yes.
• 41:24
  Do you want to harm anyone here in this building?
• 41:35
  Yes.
• 41:37
  So that changes things.
• 41:39
  Right.
• 41:39
  That's why I'm like, let's not put our guard down immediately.
• 41:45
  He said yes.
• 41:45
  Why do I I don't know why I keep saying he but
• 41:48
  Yeah.
• 41:51
  do you need any help?
• 41:55
  Yes.
• 41:57
  Do you feel lost?
• 42:04
  No.
• 42:11
  Is there some other place you would rather be?
• 42:16
  I don't know what I can help you with.
• 42:21
  When you said do you do you need help and it said yes, I heard it's
• 42:25
  a trap.
• 42:26
  It's
• 42:27
  Yeah.
• 42:28
  trying to get you to like try to care and like pay attention.
• 42:32
  Is it also possibly here to distract us from something else?
• 42:36
  Yeah.
• 42:37
  So we get all involved in this storyline but it's distracting us from somewhere else.
• 42:43
  Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
• 42:44
  Like I don't trust them at all.
• 42:45
  I don't trust anything they say.
• 42:47
  Nope.
• 42:47
  Hm.
• 42:48
  That came back fast.
• 42:49
  Yeah.
• 42:49
  I don't even know what to do with it now 'cause I can't we can't we
• 42:53
  have some trust issues.
• 42:54
  Yeah, we don't trust you.
• 42:57
  Is that a fair assessment?
• 43:01
  Yeah.
• 43:02
  Yes.
• 43:03
  He's like fine.
• 43:04
  Valid.

• 44:15
  Yeah.
• 44:16
  So we
• 44:18
  There's nothing we can do with that.
• 44:19
  Do you want to go to the ballroom?
• 44:20
  Pack it up and go upstairs.
• 44:28
  Ballroom.
• 44:31
  The spirits are here.
• 44:35
  How many spirits are here?
• 44:39
  Fourteen.
• 44:41
  That's that same voice.
• 44:42
  It's like the same
• 44:45
  Sixteen.
• 44:47
  Sixteen.
• 44:49
  Six
• 44:50
  I've heard sixteen three times.
• 44:55
  Something feels very different about this location.
• 45:03
  Why?
• 45:06
  It just feels like
• 45:09
  Yeah.
• 45:10
  chaos and and static like nothing can get through.
• 45:16
  It feels like it's all cloudy and and chaotic is the feel.
• 45:26
  Do you think that could be because of the prior use of the building and being
• 45:32
  a haunted attraction and just the the noise, the fear, the scare tactics, the energy
• 45:39
  that it's like made it all very like shh because it was that for years.
• 45:45
  Is there a way to clear it?
• 45:49
  I wonder if I can clear it.
• 45:51
  I wonder if I can clear it.
• 45:54
  Cause I'm not getting anything, this isn't getting anything, we're not getting
• 45:58
  anything.
• 45:59
  It just feels like
• 46:01
  Okay.
• 46:03
  like just pure static.
• 46:05
  Right.
• 46:08
  It's haunted.
• 46:09
  You know it's haunted.
• 46:12
  We know it's haunted.
• 46:13
  It is.
• 46:13
  But we feel like there are things here that are keeping spirits from being able to
• 46:21
  talk with us.
• 46:23
  Is that true?
• 46:24
  Do you need help?
• 46:26
  So this is the very back of the building, right?
• 46:31
  And then that's the very front.
• 46:34
  And then I know that side and that's the end right there.
• 46:40
  Okay.
• 46:41
  Let me just do yeah, there's our car.
• 46:45
  Okay.
• 46:46
  Yeah, I just got quiet.
• 46:47
  It did.
• 46:55
  And then it goes to five.
• 47:17
  You almost got it.
• 47:21
  That's what you heard.
• 47:22
  Just right there.
• 47:26
  No, I gotta face the front door.
• 48:00
  You should be able to make it over now.
• 48:02
  Help.
• 48:04
  Does that help?
• 48:08
  Come on in.
• 48:13
  Yeah.
• 48:16
  I just had the weirdest vision.
• 48:18
  I just saw so I was closing my eyes and just feeling the building.
• 48:25
  And there was a tear in the building as a dimensional and I saw it growing
• 48:32
  and healing back.
• 48:33
  Like a portal or a a fissure.
• 48:37
  Yeah.
• 48:38
  That's the word I'm hearing?
• 48:41
  And so it's like I saw it healing and going back together.
• 48:49
  So there's like dimensional.
• 48:52
  So it the fabric of it is is healing.
• 48:55
  Yeah.
• 48:55
  So there's a tear. 'Cause it was like a tear.
• 49:00
  And it grew back together and it and it sealed.
• 49:04
  And I wonder if that's how all these things are filling up the building.
• 49:10
  All these weird things.
• 49:12
  You know?
• 49:13
  Yeah.
• 49:15
  And throw it's it's in It it's on floor two.
• 49:21
  It's what makes that so wobbly, it's the it's where it is.
• 49:28
  It's where it is.
• 49:31
  Mm.
• 49:37
  So if it's coming back together, will that repair that what's happening there and what
• 49:47
  that feels like?
• 49:50
  Yeah, 'cause it's like plugging a leak.
• 49:52
  Where there's energy moving and it it doesn't it obviously doesn't belong there and so
• 49:59
  it's like abnormal and it's wobbling the energy of the hallway.
• 50:03
  It's not so
• 50:05
  Be there.
• 50:05
  Also the the the noise that we're hearing, the popping.
• 50:10
  Could be.
• 50:10
  I wonder if we had go if we go back up there if it's calmer.
• 50:16
  Mm. 'Cause it feels like it healed something something healed.
• 50:20
  Interesting.
• 50:21
  Yeah.
• 50:22
  Do you feel like it is possibly from that time when it was a haunted attraction
• 50:29
  that it just created this energy, this like high intensity energy?
• 50:34
  Yeah,
• 50:35
  You said it was for ten years.
• 50:37
  I think it was for like many years.
• 50:39
  I don't think yes, I think there were a lot of bad things that happened in
• 50:45
  that time.
• 50:45
  I feel like people dumped their trauma. they were scaring beyond what they should have
• 50:51
  been like something it just was like a bad recipe.
• 50:55
  So I don't I think it wounded the building.
• 50:59
  Yeah.
• 51:00
  It wounded the building.
• 51:02
  It hurt the chakra system of the building.
• 51:07
  Right.
• 51:08
  Fracture.
• 51:09
  That was the heart chakra I just saw.
• 51:13
  They it wound it broke it's heart.
• 51:17
  So that's interesting.
• 51:18
  I didn't realize that certain that that buildings, locations, etcetera also have a
• 51:25
  chakra be
• 51:26
  Mm-hmm.
• 51:28
  damaged by what's done there.
• 51:33
  Yeah.
• 51:35
  That was interesting of some like they were talking about ya.
• 51:38
  I didn't get the last word like you you'd know or something like that.
• 51:43
  Right, right.
• 51:47
  It it became a magnet for dark energies.
• 51:49
  Yeah.
• 51:50
  So the intention of it was fun and blah blah blah rights, Halloween and yada yada.
• 51:56
  But the collective dumping of trauma and fear and all the things, like it just it
• 52:02
  ended up being a dumping ground and then and then it'll attract darker spirits.
• 52:07
  So now you've got your feed your feeding frenzy.
• 52:11
  And then they're also feeding off the people and now it's like a w it ends
• 52:16
  up being unhealthy.
• 52:18
  Right.
• 52:18
  Ends up being out of balance.
• 52:21
  were told is it was a very popular attraction, meaning like there was a line all
• 52:25
  the way down the street.
• 52:26
  So if there's energy that fees off that, they're just like oom nom nom nom nom
• 52:31
  nom like there's people lined up to come in and and
• 52:34
  Yeah.
• 52:38
  Staying for people.
• 52:38
  Staying for people.
• 52:39
  Something something there was a little bit more to it and it faded out.
• 52:44
  So I think you're
• 52:47
  Twenty.
• 52:49
  I think you're on to something.
• 52:52
  Are there twenty spirits in this room now?
• 52:57
  Or there's twenty n negative beings in this building.
• 53:04
  Like do we need to clear them out?
• 53:07
  Well, I d I did I did clear the building.
• 53:11
  I did clear the building.
• 53:14
  And when I cleared the build
• 53:16
  Eleven.
• 53:16
  We keep getting numbers.
• 53:18
  I think they're leaving now.
• 53:20
  So I think the fissure the is healing.
• 53:25
  So I clearing the building is led it's healing.
• 53:29
  The building is healing now.
• 53:32
  And maybe the the decreasing numbers is people leaving and things leaving.
• 53:39
  Are people leaving?
• 53:41
  Entities, spirits leaving?
• 53:43
  And now I actually feel like my I feel myself.
• 53:48
  You sound more clearer.
• 53:49
  So it's healing and so the building is gonna go through a healing phase and then
• 53:55
  and then it's gonna reset and then it's gonna be okay.
• 54:00
  That it's all the residual energy from that.
• 54:03
  It just got unhealthy, got diseased.
• 54:05
  It was sick.
• 54:07
  Right.
• 54:07
  Now is it something that will just kind of heal now on its own and reset
• 54:13
  or is there anything that they can do here to kind of help help that along
• 54:19
  and move the energy out?
• 54:21
  I already did that and then this showed and this I feel better so I feel
• 54:29
  like it's it it just needs time to heal.
• 54:34
  A wound.
• 54:35
  Yeah.
• 54:36
  To heal its wound.
• 54:39
  I'm gonna go ahead and turn this on.
• 54:41
  hi.
• 54:42
  someone's here.
• 54:43
  Yeah, we have a base.
• 54:45
  So I'm wondering, do you who we're talking to notice a shift in the hotel's energy?
• 54:52
  And we usually ask to move the needle one for yes, two for no.
• 54:59
  Yes.
• 55:00
  Do you like how it feels now?
• 55:08
  No.
• 55:10
  Is it still working?
• 55:12
  Is it still shifting?
• 55:14
  There might be a transitional period.
• 55:17
  Is that the part that you don't like?
• 55:21
  Did you benefit from the chaos?
• 55:25
  Yes or no?
• 55:27
  This time it was like I said no Okay.
• 55:33
  Is there any reason that you don't like the energy?
• 55:40
  No?
• 55:42
  No.
• 55:43
  You just don't like change?
• 55:47
  Mm.
• 55:48
  Prefer things to say the same.
• 55:53
  Yes.
• 55:57
  Well, we think it's gonna be healthier.
• 56:00
  It's gonna have more vitality.
• 56:03
  No.
• 56:04
  It might be
• 56:07
  Did we heal it?
• 56:08
  it might be the only thing they know is the chaos.
• 56:13
  So it feels weird.
• 56:15
  Yeah.
• 56:16
  I think
• 56:18
  no.
• 56:19
  Okay, can I ask, d did we heal the building properly?
• 56:32
  Yes.
• 56:33
  Okay.
• 56:33
  Is it that the chaos is all you know and that's why you would prefer it?
• 56:41
  Yes.
• 56:42
  Are you open to the possibility that it can be something different and better?
• 56:49
  Right?
• 56:50
  No.
• 56:51
  No.
• 56:52
  This is where your coaching comes in.
• 56:54
  sorry we changed things for you.
• 56:57
  But it's gonna
• 56:59
  but it's gonna be healthier in the long run.
• 57:01
  You're gonna
• 57:02
  It's gonna be better.
• 57:03
  be you're gonna be happier.
• 57:05
  It'll just take a little bit of time.
• 57:09
  It'll take some some time to heal and settle.
• 57:13
  You'll get used to it.
• 57:16
  You might even have new friends.
• 57:19
  Yes.
• 57:20
  Yeah.
• 57:22
  Yeah, 'cause the the fog has lifted.
• 57:27
  There was such a cloudy.
• 57:31
  It was so heavy.
• 57:34
  It's back.
• 57:35
  It's been coming back really fast today.
• 57:38
  Really fast.
• 57:39
  Yeah, it's so busy here.
• 57:41
  Can I ask how many people besides us four are here?
• 57:46
  And I'm gonna give you a range.
• 57:50
  Is it is it
• 57:52
  The light just flickered behind you.
• 57:54
  Is there one to ten be people?
• 57:59
  Are you the mimic?
• 58:02
  The light just flickered.
• 58:07
  Tell the truth.
• 58:11
  No.
• 58:12
  Light flickered again.
• 58:14
  Do you know the mimic?
• 58:15
  Or I guess what I want to say is are we in danger?
• 58:21
  Yes. 'Cause it feels like there's a lot of like energy right now and people are
• 58:27
  getting like excited, like not in a good way.
• 58:31
  No.
• 58:32
  No.
• 58:33
  I feel like something is blocking my ability to hear your voice.
• 58:39
  No.
• 58:40
  We're being lied to.
• 58:43
  Are you lying to us?
• 58:48
  Tell the truth.
• 58:52
  You're a clown.
• 58:56
  There's a lot of trickery going on in this hotel.
• 59:01
  Yes.
• 59:02
  Is that part of the game?
• 59:04
  It's part of the game.
• 59:06
  It's from the haunted house.
• 59:08
  From the haunted.
• 59:09
  Is that it was all about tricking people and scaring them and making them feel like
• 59:14
  That's it.
• 59:15
  That's I wonder if that's made like an imprint and and now there's the mimicking and
• 59:22
  and that's another mimic thing to mock like to mimic what they did to people.
• 59:29
  So it sounds like you guys watched how the haunted house went.
• 59:35
  No.
• 59:36
  And you're still doing it.
• 59:38
  You guys are from the haunted house.
• 59:42
  Is that true?
• 59:44
  No.
• 59:45
  It's just not telling the truth.
• 59:47
  I know.
• 59:47
  Nothing is the truth.
• 59:49
  It's part of it's making sense to me because it's almost like bizarro world where all
• 59:55
  my answers I get answers and but they're opposite.
• 59:58
  Right.
• 59:59
  Yeah.
• 59:59
  Like i even in my head, like I can't I haven't been able to trust myself
• 1:00:05
  today.
• 1:00:06
  Yes.
• 1:00:06
  Yeah.
• 1:00:07
  Yes.
• 1:00:08
  I haven't been able to trust my because it feels like it's top
• 1:00:13
  No is up is down.
• 1:00:16
  It's floor two.
• 1:00:17
  Right.
• 1:00:18
  Funhouse. fun house duh.
• 1:00:20
  Yeah.
• 1:00:22
  I'm a little slow but I get there.
• 1:00:24
  No, but it's like it is.
• 1:00:26
  It feels like it's like everything's the opposite. my gosh.
• 1:00:30
  That is that is record.
• 1:00:31
  Yeah.
• 1:00:32
  So do you guys have a lot of fun just mi messing with people?
• 1:00:37
  And
• 1:00:38
  Yes.
• 1:00:39
  is that really like why you don't want it to change?
• 1:00:43
  That's why you don't want it to change.
• 1:00:46
  No.
• 1:00:47
  You like it.
• 1:00:48
  You like the fun house effect.
• 1:00:52
  Don't you?
• 1:00:54
  I don't believe you.
• 1:00:56
  Yeah.
• 1:00:58
  I don't believe anything you say now.
• 1:01:02
  You know that, right?
• 1:01:05
  I don't trust you.
• 1:01:07
  You've you've lost my trust.
• 1:01:11
  No.
• 1:01:12
  Yeah.
• 1:01:13
  It's playing games.
• 1:01:14
  Yeah.
• 1:01:16
  Fascinating.
• 1:01:17
  I do think it it comes from that.
• 1:01:20
  I think that it it's r remnants of the haunted house.
• 1:01:24
  Mm-hmm.
• 1:01:25
  So now that you've healed the building, the energy's Changed.
• 1:01:37
  It's gonna change to a point.
• 1:01:39
  They're not gonna let it change all the way.
• 1:01:43
  Like the building too much the building will change, but they won't stop.
• 1:01:49
  For the most part that's okay.
• 1:01:52
  Uh-huh.
• 1:01:53
  I wanna know if it's malicious or if it's just them having fun.
• 1:01:56
  Like
• 1:01:57
  Exactly.
• 1:01:58
  do you mean to really frighten people or is it more like my gosh?
• 1:02:02
  Seconds.
• 1:02:03
  Alright, so if the building is healing and you guys wanna stay here and be fun
• 1:02:11
  and you wanna stay like that, is everyone safe?
• 1:02:16
  Yes.
• 1:02:17
  So you're not you don't mean harm, you just want fun, is that correct?
• 1:02:24
  Don't lie to me.
• 1:02:26
  There's still a little bit of like siphoning energy off of the people here.
• 1:02:33
  Yeah,
• 1:02:35
  No.
• 1:02:36
  I don't b I don't buy it.
• 1:02:40
  I told you you've lost credibility with me.
• 1:02:45
  I don't trust you.
• 1:02:47
  Yes.
• 1:02:48
  hotel and current owners want this to build like a haunted a haunted hotel.
• 1:02:50
  my god.
• 1:02:50
  Like they play into the history of it in the lore.
• 1:02:56
  'Cause because people are sleeping and they're like they're There's a symbiont
• 1:03:02
  balance.
• 1:03:03
  There's a balance to it.
• 1:03:05
  I don't I don't everything is yes, there's
• 1:03:10
  I don't know.
• 1:03:11
  no and no one yes is yes. so there's there's a balance to it of like
• 1:03:15
  a hotel wants it and they can provide it.
• 1:03:18
  Unless
• 1:03:19
  So do you
• 1:03:20
  they are intent to do harm.
• 1:03:22
  Right.
• 1:03:23
  If do you want people to expect yes, expect to have an experience to
• 1:03:31
  The haunted experience.
• 1:03:32
  haunted experience when they stay here?
• 1:03:36
  You're hoping that happens.
• 1:03:38
  You want people to expect that to happen.
• 1:03:41
  It said yes.
• 1:03:42
  Yeah.
• 1:03:43
  So it's gone from the Halloween haunted experience to a legitimate haunted experience.
• 1:03:48
  Yes.
• 1:03:49
  Yeah.
• 1:03:50
  And that's what they're hoping for.

  Yes.
• 1:04:43
  As long as that's the truth.
• 1:04:46
  They're finally being honest, I think, at that point. 'Cause now they understand.
• 1:04:49
  Yeah.
• 1:04:49
  As long as that's the truth and everything's fine.
• 1:04:52
  I know, and are you able to get to that, the the core of that, whether
• 1:04:56
  that's actually the truth or not?
• 1:04:58
  It's starting to feel true.

  That's a deal.
• 1:05:18
  You we have an agreement and as long as you don't harm people
• 1:05:24
  as long as you don't harm people, you can stay.
• 1:05:27
  Because I think you know we would be able to remove you.
• 1:05:32
  No.
• 1:05:34
  You will have to maintain your manners.
• 1:05:36
  So have all the fun you want as long as you don't harm people.
• 1:05:41
  No.
• 1:05:42
  Do you mean what do you know what I mean?
• 1:05:46
  You do not harm people.
• 1:05:49
  Scare them, creep them out, whatever.
• 1:05:52
  Yes.
• 1:05:53
  Okay.
• 1:05:54
  All right, we have an agreement.
• 1:05:58
  Like she said yes.
• 1:06:02
  Deal.
• 1:06:05
  I You can go play.
• 1:06:11
  well that seems like a natural yes, a natural end to this evening. it's been an
• 1:06:21
  interesting night.
• 1:06:23
  It makes total sense though because now having like the hindsight of the night, the
• 1:06:28
  haunted location, the added negativity toward of that, right, of whatever they were
• 1:06:33
  conjuring up for that.
• 1:06:35
  Right.
• 1:06:35
  Attracting all of that and now it's a hotel and now they're like, Well yeah, but
• 1:06:41
  now it's a haunted hotel and we wanna play more, so
• 1:06:46
  Right.
• 1:06:47
  it it makes sense that it They don't want the hotel to change.
• 1:06:50
  They want it to stay the same, which means to them we want to play.
• 1:06:54
  I wanna have fun.
• 1:06:56
  Even though the energy of it gets to be healed.
• 1:06:58
  Mm-hmm.
• 1:06:59
  It instead of being traumatic and chaotic in a negative, harmful way.
• 1:07:05
  In a fearful, scary, terrorizing way.
• 1:07:08
  I just wanna also note that like the light's not flickering behind Morrighan now.
• 1:07:15
  Yeah, now they can have fun with it and and people can have fun with it
• 1:07:19
  when they stay here.
• 1:07:20
  Right.
• 1:07:20
  Yeah.
• 1:07:21
  There's a difference between something fun happening.
• 1:07:24
  Even sometimes people will still get scared because it's just
• 1:07:29
  It's the nature of
• 1:07:31
  the nature of it.
• 1:07:33
  But that it's not malicious and harmful.
• 1:07:36
  It's not the intent behind it is more playful and fun, trickery, and not malicious.
• 1:07:44
  Yeah.
• 1:07:44
  As long as it's that way, I don't have a problem.
• 1:07:49
  So as long as everyone's safe, have fun.
• 1:07:52
  Right.
• 1:07:53
  And for them it must be fun because there's al there's just a steady rotating group
• 1:07:58
  of people that are coming through.
• 1:08:00
  There's people checking in, people checking out.
• 1:08:03
  Checking in different rooms because they don't like that room and then they're all
• 1:08:06
  laughing because ha ha ha I had to move
• 1:08:08
  Over here too.
• 1:08:09
  I made you can run but you can't hide.
• 1:08:14
  But it and also there's those people that are open to it that may communicate with
• 1:08:18
  them and then other people that are just ignoring them and then you know, there's the
• 1:08:23
  mixed bag and they can bounce around between the different floors and then there's the
• 1:08:28
  staff that have experiences as well.
• 1:08:30
  So there might be certain staff members that they know they can kind of mess with
• 1:08:35
  or they enjoy messing with. so there's that little element to it.
• 1:08:39
  Hmm.
• 1:08:40
  This was a very different location.
• 1:08:43
  Well it'll be interesting to stay in contact with the hotel.
• 1:08:47
  Yeah.
• 1:08:48
  And see if things change or they notice any differences since we've been here.
• 1:08:55
  And I'll probably peek in every now and then just to make sure that healing is
• 1:08:58
  taking place.
• 1:08:58
  And there
• 1:08:59
  Behave.
• 1:09:00
  I keep feeling like it broke it broke the hotel's heart.
• 1:09:03
  It broke the heart.
• 1:09:05
  That's w I was thinking that just before you said it.
• 1:09:07
  That it's right.
• 1:09:08
  It 'cause it's not what it's designed for.
• 1:09:12
  It's designed for love and care and
• 1:09:16
  Shelter
• 1:09:17
  Respite
• 1:09:18
  Right.
• 1:09:18
  Safety.
• 1:09:19
  Mm-hmm.
• 1:09:19
  And it was like it's almost like it was like a desecration.
• 1:09:23
  Mm-hmm.
• 1:09:24
  Even though it's not a sacred site per se, but like
• 1:09:28
  No, but buildings I I believe buildings have a spirit, like a spirit, like the the
• 1:09:33
  wisdom or the consciousness of a building, that's why it has a chakra system. 'Cause
• 1:09:37
  that I've known for years.
• 1:09:39
  I've gone into houses and done house clearings and that's when I realized they have a
• 1:09:44
  chakra system and that as out of balance as they can get for us, they can
• 1:09:49
  get out of balance in a building.
• 1:09:51
  And so it's part of the healing process.
• 1:09:54
  Yeah, it it wounded it.
• 1:09:56
  It wounded the building.
• 1:09:57
  Right.
• 1:09:58
  Right.
• 1:09:58
  I mean maybe that's where the wraith comes in, 'cause that's also a wounded spirit.
• 1:10:04
  All attractive Yeah.
• 1:10:05
  Yeah.
• 1:10:06
  It got it got amplified.
• 1:10:08
  Yeah.
• 1:10:09
  So
• 1:10:10
  Yeah, and that energy will bring it it will attract entities that that feed on that
• 1:10:17
  and magnify it exactly.
• 1:10:18
  In in a not very healthy way.
• 1:10:22
  No, they're scavengers.
• 1:10:23
  They're they're picking off that energetic feeding.
• 1:10:25
  It's a feeding frenzy.
• 1:10:27
  So they'll eat.
• 1:10:28
  They'll eat that energy.
• 1:10:29
  Yeah.
• 1:10:30
  Which sustains them and then more get attracted.
• 1:10:33
  And now you're the whole building is full of scavengers.
• 1:10:37
  Right.
• 1:10:38
  Of vampires.
• 1:10:39
  Yep.
• 1:10:39
  Not real vampires.
• 1:10:40
  Parasitic.
• 1:10:41
  We have to we have to say that.
• 1:10:44
  Parasitic.
• 1:10:45
  That's right.
• 1:10:46
  Yeah.
• 1:10:47
  That's right, 'cause w who knows?
• 1:10:49
  Let's not let that get out of hand.
• 1:10:52
  Parasitic.
• 1:10:52
  Well, I hope that we've I feel like we've made a difference in this space.
• 1:10:57
  Yeah.
• 1:10:58
  And hopefully it the g the building will continue to heal.
• 1:11:01
  And those that are here that like to have fun with the staff and the guests
• 1:11:07
  continue to have fun.
• 1:11:08
  I know you'll be checking.
• 1:11:10
  I will. 'Cause I mean it.
• 1:11:11
  We made a deal, I will be checking in, so that's right.
• 1:11:14
  Yes.
• 1:11:15
  Was the negotiation that happened?
• 1:11:17
  We'll definitely we will check it. but this has been a really interesting case.
• 1:11:24
  It's just a like everything under the sun.
• 1:11:28
  It really did feel like a fun house.
• 1:11:33
  Our investigation of the historic Griffin Hotel took us in a direction we hadn't
• 1:11:35
  anticipated.
• 1:11:35
  What began with reports of unexplained voices, strange noises, and apparitions became
• 1:11:38
  an exploration of something much deeper.
• 1:11:39
  The lasting impact that fear and trauma may have on a place.
• 1:11:41
  Throughout the night we encountered what appeared to be multiple presences, some
• 1:11:43
  seemingly determined to mislead us, while others may have been struggling to make
• 1:11:46
  themselves heard.
• 1:11:46
  But perhaps our most significant discovery was the possibility that the building
• 1:11:48
  itself needed healing.
• 1:11:49
  Morrighan worked to clear the energy she felt had been affecting the hotel, and by the
• 1:11:52
  end of the night, We experienced a noticeable shift.
• 1:11:54
  We also reached an understanding with the tricksters we encountered.
• 1:11:55
  They could continue their games, but causing harm was not part of the agreement.
• 1:11:58
  Of course, only time will tell whether that understanding holds.
• 1:12:00
  What stays with me most is the idea that a building can carry the weight of
• 1:12:03
  what Happens within its walls.
• 1:12:04
  And perhaps just like the people who pass through them, places sometimes need a little
• 1:12:07
  help healing too.
• 1:12:07
  We'll stay in touch with a hotel to see whether the staff notices any changes
• 1:12:10
  following our investigation.
