We turned our most ICONIC live ghost hunt into a short film! · Paranormal Lens - A Crossroads Of Curiosities, LLC Production

  Coming up... Brianna is handcuffed to a bathtub,
• 0:03
  talking to ghosts on the internet. This is...
• 0:07
  dumb. My brain didn't know how to interpret what
• 0:13
  I was watching. So, for the people that are listening,
• 0:17
  you don't know this, but the people watching,
• 0:19
  there's a blank screen to my left. Where's Brianna?
• 0:24
  She didn't survive the bathtubs. Help me! This
• 0:29
  is horrific. The implications of being stuck
• 0:33
  in a residual energy containment vessel is insane.
• 0:37
  It has to do a lot with quantum physics and the
• 0:42
  haunted Bativerse. Huh? This is all really high
• 0:50
  -level advanced stuff, and it has a lot to do
• 0:53
  with science. I'm really concerned for her safety
• 0:56
  and well -being. She's probably like, On a loop,
• 0:59
  like a time loop, being sucked into the bathtub,
• 1:02
  experiencing the life over and over and over
• 1:05
  again. Can't get out. She has some residual energy
• 1:08
  going on there officially. Yeah, she's just reliving
• 1:12
  all the traumatic incidents from her life, including
• 1:15
  but not limited to being handcuffed to the most
• 1:18
  haunted bathtub in America and then getting sucked
• 1:22
  down the drain by a lady in white and a hitchhiker
• 1:26
  ghost. And the top hat man. All these stereotypes.
• 1:31
  Whoa. There's a Brianna. All you gotta do is
• 1:34
  mention the stereotypes. Brianna pops up. Yes.
• 1:39
  What's happening? We were concerned that you
• 1:42
  were stuck in the residual energy containment
• 1:44
  vessel and Angela was trying to learn quantum
• 1:47
  physics to get you out because this is very advanced
• 1:49
  science. I didn't think you survived the bathtub
• 1:54
  spree. No. We almost made a sequel. I thought
• 1:57
  that's the one thing we said we weren't going
• 1:59
  to do is turn this into a franchise. But then
• 2:02
  you went missing. So me and Angela started the
• 2:05
  Avengers. I don't know. What are they? Bathtubs.
• 2:13
  Endgame. Bathtubs. Anyways. I hear yelling in
• 2:24
  the background. Are you sure you're okay? Is
• 2:26
  the portal still open? What if I said yes? Then
• 2:32
  this episode suddenly got interesting. Welcome
• 2:36
  to our podcast, where we take deep dives looking
• 2:38
  at various topics through a paranormal lens.
• 2:41
  Be aware of the haunted bathtubs. Do we have
• 2:45
  anything to say after that? No, we're done. Let's
• 2:50
  just have this be a two -minute podcast. I'm
• 2:52
  good with that. Honestly, yeah. What they have
• 3:00
  survived, few would live to tell the tale. For
• 3:06
  context, because this is probably either the
• 3:11
  most confusing StarToon episode or actually probably
• 3:14
  both. 100 % people are confused. We did not start
• 3:19
  this well. Yeah, I'm... here and i'm also confused
• 3:24
  i mean that's probably because i came in midway
• 3:27
  you cut through the veil and you escaped a portal
• 3:30
  so like cut you some slack here angela didn't
• 3:33
  hear there's some like wicked sound effects right
• 3:35
  before you like cut through the veil so that
• 3:38
  was that was cool i heard it and it resonated
• 3:41
  deeply on a spiritual level are those uh sound
• 3:46
  effects something that you're putting in after
• 3:48
  the recording and that's why angela didn't hear
• 3:50
  them I mean, time isn't linear and real, so that's
• 3:57
  why I can hear them. I assume she would be. Okay,
• 4:01
  I see, I see. So what are we talking about? We're
• 4:07
  talking about bathtubs. The one time Angela knows
• 4:12
  the fucking topic. This is a weird... plot development
• 4:19
  of 2026 so we did a investigation at the state
• 4:24
  house a couple weeks ago this is a very well
• 4:28
  -known haunted house literally just like a neighborhood
• 4:31
  house it was actually moved to its current location
• 4:34
  in fort wayne indiana the land itself is said
• 4:37
  to be haunted and this house has a lot of portals
• 4:41
  uh allegedly and a lot of paranormal teams go
• 4:44
  there it's an up -and -coming well -known haunted
• 4:47
  spot we did an investigation there and during
• 4:50
  our investigation we did a series of tiktok live
• 4:54
  streams and before we get into the meat of this
• 4:58
  episode we we first need to talk about a game
• 5:03
  that is not a sponsor it's not affiliated with
• 5:09
  this content It is a classic Americana, I think.
• 5:14
  Is it an American game? I don't know. What are
• 5:17
  you talking about? You know, Angela. Humanji!
• 5:22
  No! Seems like it, but it was actually Jenga.
• 5:26
  It's Jenga. Oh! You're talking about the game
• 5:29
  you played at... It's a state house. Okay. Yes.
• 5:33
  The game we always play. Ange, Ange, Ange. That
• 5:36
  was the one sentence that actually made sense
• 5:38
  this whole recording. Brie, when do we start
• 5:42
  playing Jenga on Investigations? It seems like
• 5:44
  it's been a Crossroads classic. Yeah, I... How
• 5:48
  long... When do we start doing that? It's been
• 5:50
  a couple of years now that we've been playing
• 5:53
  Jenga. I think we started on Ben's 25th birthday.
• 5:57
  It was! It was for... So two years, I believe.
• 6:02
  Yeah. And we use that for determining who did
• 6:07
  a solo investigation. As we always do. Because
• 6:11
  when investigations die down, we need that energy
• 6:14
  boost to be like, okay, let's take a break. Let's
• 6:19
  have fun. Let's get high spirits and then get
• 6:21
  motivation. And that's our motivation is playing
• 6:24
  Jenga. And Bree is very competitive, ladies and
• 6:28
  gentlemen. I am very competitive, yes. And it's
• 6:35
  sometimes my downfall. It was. It was your downfall
• 6:40
  that time. We played a couple games and we simultaneously
• 6:45
  watched Angela put on the best Jenga performance
• 6:48
  of all time followed by the worst. So that was
• 6:50
  pretty funny. But someone had the bright idea
• 6:55
  because we were doing Jenga, our classic Jenga
• 6:58
  game. at a state house to do a solo, and we were
• 7:01
  going to TikTok live. Which one of you bozos
• 7:04
  decided to bring the handcuffs? Because it wasn't
• 7:06
  me. Oh, that was me. Yeah, me and Angela were
• 7:10
  both like, hey, why don't we grab the handcuffs?
• 7:13
  They were sitting right there with all of the
• 7:14
  stuff that we were going to grab, but then it
• 7:18
  was set aside, and we're both like, let's grab
• 7:21
  those. Handcuffs? I can use that. But we left
• 7:26
  them in the... trunk of the car and then when
• 7:29
  we were deciding oh let's go get jenga i'm like
• 7:34
  hey we should grab the handcuffs too just for
• 7:36
  funsies um like an idiot by funsies you mean
• 7:40
  whoever did a solo was getting handcuffed during
• 7:45
  the solo okay so funsies do you stand by that
• 7:49
  statement was it fun plot twist spoiler alert
• 7:52
  brianna got handcuffed to a bathtub I would say
• 7:56
  this is not true for all solos, but that was
• 8:00
  a fun solo. That was such a good solo. So it
• 8:04
  was for funsies. I enjoyed it. We had such a
• 8:07
  good time watching you do it too. I think everyone
• 8:10
  else also enjoyed it. You had like, I don't know,
• 8:13
  you had like 40 people watching you. It was a
• 8:15
  show for sure. It got up to 100 at one point,
• 8:19
  all vaguely concerned I'm handcuffed in a bathtub.
• 8:22
  Should we call the cops? Are you okay? And then
• 8:25
  you get the creeps being like, girls in bathtubs
• 8:28
  and handcuffs? This is my type of life. And I'm
• 8:31
  just like, creepers. Thank you. It was all bitches,
• 8:36
  things like that. It was a good time. Let's backtrack
• 8:39
  a second and quickly get off the topic of creeps.
• 8:43
  That's gross. But the state house, like I alluded
• 8:47
  to, they have a lot of alleged portals. And one
• 8:49
  of the most haunted spots. is the one you'd least
• 8:53
  expect it's the second floor bathroom and they
• 8:56
  say the bathtub and that whole area is like a
• 8:58
  portal a lot of poltergeist activity disembodied
• 9:00
  voices which is actually kind of like a creepy
• 9:02
  thought of like voices coming up from like the
• 9:05
  shower drain or whatever out of all the places
• 9:08
  in the state house like when we were there it
• 9:11
  was a great location loved being there we had
• 9:14
  a lot of experiences didn't get a lot of vibes
• 9:17
  there That bathroom is the one place where when
• 9:20
  you first walked in, it was like, oh, this is
• 9:22
  slightly different. Yeah, it was like actually
• 9:26
  kind of creepy. So that was like the first place
• 9:28
  we were like, OK, Brianna, you lost Jenga. Sucks
• 9:32
  to suck. We're handcuffing you to this bathtub.
• 9:35
  And we live streamed it on TikTok. It lasted
• 9:41
  for about an hour. And just imagine for a second
• 9:44
  you open TikTok. and you're just scrolling, and
• 9:48
  suddenly you just see a girl in a dark room handcuffed
• 9:50
  to a bathtub with no contacts. Maybe not the
• 9:55
  smartest thing to do. I mean, it grabbed people's
• 9:59
  attention. It really grabbed people's attention,
• 10:02
  for sure. What do you say? Because we go live
• 10:05
  on TikTok often now, usually from my apartment,
• 10:08
  and usually it's kind of like at this point.
• 10:10
  I mean, I guess like haunted gesture cabinets
• 10:12
  and creepy dolls is not. what people consider
• 10:16
  normal but but for us at this point it's normal
• 10:19
  would you consider um being handcuffed to a bathtub
• 10:22
  like it's it's our most iconic live stream we've
• 10:26
  ever done yeah i mean it's it's definitely it's
• 10:31
  definitely different a lot of people who do live
• 10:34
  ghost hunt stuff on tiktok they are never like
• 10:37
  showing themselves it's always an outward thing
• 10:41
  no other people and i just love that we got like
• 10:46
  the whole picture of everything going on and
• 10:48
  it was just so good. Yeah. I had the foresight.
• 10:52
  We work differently than most people. I feel
• 10:54
  like most people are like, we're going there
• 10:56
  to film something. We're going to film X, Y,
• 10:58
  and Z. We just accumulate footage and then like,
• 11:01
  you know, at some point maybe we'll put it out
• 11:04
  in an edited format. I had the foresight that
• 11:07
  this is simultaneously extremely scary, extremely
• 11:12
  sketchy, and also One of the dumbest things I've
• 11:15
  ever seen. So I set up the camera. Not only was
• 11:18
  it filming for TikTok, there was a professional
• 11:21
  camera filming Brianna handcuffed to the bathtub.
• 11:24
  Oh, we didn't mention at all yet that I was completely
• 11:29
  in the house alone for the investigation. Oh,
• 11:31
  yeah, yeah. Ben and Angela completely left. Well,
• 11:35
  here's the thing. We hung out in our car in the
• 11:39
  driveway, left you in the building all alone.
• 11:41
  Now, unfortunately, I left or fortunately, I
• 11:44
  left the keys in the house with you. Otherwise,
• 11:46
  I would have totally just like driven down the
• 11:48
  road or something. But we're watching on the
• 11:52
  live the whole time. Don't worry. So you're in
• 11:55
  the house alone, stranded, handcuffed to a second
• 12:00
  floor portal bathtub while being filmed by two
• 12:03
  cameras. So this was like, Angela, I'm curious
• 12:08
  how you felt. To me, I kept oscillating between
• 12:12
  this is the greatest thing I've ever witnessed
• 12:15
  because it was truly captivating. Brianna, you
• 12:17
  led that live stream so well and you couldn't
• 12:21
  even tell you were, I mean, I don't even know,
• 12:23
  were you scared? I mean, at first. And then once
• 12:27
  I got, like, settled in, it was like, I can do
• 12:32
  this. I had the comfort of knowing that you guys
• 12:35
  could see if anything happened. Like, you'd be
• 12:39
  right in. Or I could leave, though the handcuffs
• 12:45
  made that commitment of I have to stay. It was
• 12:49
  like, I was a little scared, but I settled into
• 12:54
  a comfort zone. Yeah, I wanted to stress here.
• 12:57
  It's a good time. These aren't, like, police
• 12:59
  -grade handcuffs. You can escape if you really
• 13:03
  wanted to. So it's, like, it's not like you can
• 13:06
  just slip the cuffs and be like, ha -ha, you
• 13:08
  know, joke's on you. But, like, if there is an
• 13:11
  emergency, and there kind of was towards the
• 13:13
  end of this solo investigation, you could work
• 13:16
  your way out of it. You can get out easily, yeah.
• 13:18
  Yeah, but it was more so, Bree, would you agree,
• 13:20
  it was, like, just, like, a comfort thing? yeah
• 13:24
  this is gonna force me to actually do this instead
• 13:26
  yeah like like i was saying it's more of like
• 13:28
  you're like a nod to being committed like i know
• 13:34
  i've done solos before or have been like oh i'm
• 13:36
  gonna go do a solo or go check out part of this
• 13:39
  house or location by myself and i'll start walking
• 13:42
  that way and i'll get so filled with adrenaline
• 13:44
  and just be like nope not gonna do it actually
• 13:48
  who do i think i am whereas uh having handcuffs
• 13:53
  and being like nope i actually have to stay here
• 13:56
  because i'm here and these are on me it's it
• 14:01
  gives me that more encouragement and incentive
• 14:03
  to stay um so that's why i actually thought it
• 14:09
  was a good inclusion too for the investigation
• 14:12
  and it was your idea it was unfortunately my
• 14:17
  idea my idea i keep saying unfortunately And
• 14:20
  the only reason I'm saying unfortunately is because
• 14:23
  in the future, if this ever happens again and
• 14:26
  it's in a place that's scarier and I have to
• 14:29
  do another solo investigation and have to be
• 14:32
  handcuffed somewhere, I'm going to be terrified.
• 14:37
  Imagine, though, if you have to do that in a
• 14:42
  well -known location that's known for negative
• 14:46
  energy or something. oh my god yeah I think the
• 14:51
  biggest comfort was was that I was on a live
• 14:55
  but yeah you know the like the lie from the energy
• 15:00
  though like we are big believers that like when
• 15:03
  you go live all these people coming in and giving
• 15:07
  out the energy like it's it's helping with the
• 15:10
  activity that's happening around you and I'm
• 15:14
  just like if you had to do that at like I don't
• 15:16
  know what's it The Conjuring House or something.
• 15:20
  No, even worse than The Conjuring. Here's this
• 15:23
  for a prompt. You go to Ohio State Reformatory
• 15:26
  or like a prison. Like Eastern State or something.
• 15:29
  And you're alone on the top. Prison block. A
• 15:33
  prison is the one place I do not want to do a
• 15:36
  solo. Handcuffed. It's perfect. No. Because that's
• 15:40
  also a trigger object. It is a trigger object.
• 15:43
  In the men's violent ward or something like that.
• 15:46
  Yeah, in the violent women's ward. Do it. No,
• 15:48
  the men's. But she would fit right in. Oh, yes.
• 15:55
  You'd be getting all the creeps then. Spiritual
• 15:57
  creeps. Big ick. Back to the state house live.
• 16:05
  man i i really hyped up the state house i feel
• 16:08
  like with all the portals but then when you compare
• 16:10
  because that that's the crux of it this whole
• 16:13
  bathtub thing it sounds creepy but then you compare
• 16:17
  it to like what we're just talking about about
• 16:18
  like osr or like eastern state and that sounds
• 16:22
  like the state house is honestly very laid back
• 16:26
  It's laid back, but also the concept of a bathtub
• 16:29
  is just ridiculous. It's an enjoyable place to
• 16:33
  investigate. I'm, like, drooling over this. It's
• 16:35
  like, if you want a nice, like, chill place to
• 16:39
  investigate and nothing, like, up in your face,
• 16:42
  this date house is, like, a very good place to
• 16:45
  go. That's our experience, at least. What the
• 16:48
  fuck, Ben? More drooling. I felt like I had to
• 16:53
  do it twice in case you missed it. Why did you
• 16:55
  do that? No one wants to see your spit coming
• 16:59
  from your mouth. What's a good thing? No one
• 17:02
  watches these on YouTube. Most people listen.
• 17:05
  Oh my gosh. Well, I just thought maybe you missed
• 17:09
  it. Oh, you definitely lost all of our followers
• 17:13
  because of that. We lost all of our followers?
• 17:17
  No one wants to see your spit, Beth. Yeah. Anyways.
• 17:24
  So my point being, though, was like, yeah, yeah,
• 17:27
  the chill versus like the intense. And also there's
• 17:30
  no demons or negative negativity at the statehouse.
• 17:33
  But my point, I guess, was. This was simultaneously
• 17:39
  and I keep coming back to this. And I'm curious
• 17:42
  your thoughts while we were watching Brianna
• 17:45
  handcuffed to the portal bathtub in the statehouse
• 17:49
  alone. Live on the Internet. I was glued to my
• 17:55
  screen for the full hour. It was so captivating
• 18:00
  and entertaining. I forgot I was watching Brianna.
• 18:05
  I thought I was watching a movie. But I kept
• 18:08
  going back and forth. One second, I was like,
• 18:10
  this is... intense this is scary what if something
• 18:13
  actually happens oh there's crazy stuff going
• 18:16
  on spirit box responses cat balls going off what
• 18:19
  if something paranormal happens what if something
• 18:20
  emergency happens and we have to run in and save
• 18:23
  her and then i think about that for two seconds
• 18:27
  and i think wait wait brianna is handcuffed to
• 18:31
  a bathtub talking to ghosts on the internet this
• 18:35
  is dumb you watch the footage and you don't know
• 18:41
  you're like my body my brain didn't know how
• 18:44
  to interpret what i was watching is this the
• 18:48
  dumbest thing we've ever done or is this the
• 18:49
  scariest thing we've ever done angela i don't
• 18:52
  think it's either the scariest or the dumbest
• 18:55
  thing i just thought it was cool and entertaining
• 18:58
  what were you thinking while watching it live
• 19:01
  and what were your thoughts i was most of my
• 19:05
  thoughts was i feel bad for brianna right now
• 19:08
  because it's been longer than 15 minutes like
• 19:11
  we said we'd leave her there do we tell her 15
• 19:13
  minutes 40 i think we did and we left her up
• 19:16
  there for 45 minutes and i felt bad we weren't
• 19:18
  coming up honestly that's what i was thinking
• 19:22
  about the whole time but brianna also said I'll
• 19:27
  let you guys know when I want you guys to come
• 19:29
  up or whatever. Yeah, she wasn't. So I knew it
• 19:32
  was fine. I just felt bad because we also wasn't
• 19:36
  updating her on how long it actually has been,
• 19:38
  you know? Yeah, Brianna was just having fun.
• 19:41
  Again, Brianna was like, I was thinking along
• 19:46
  the same lines as you, Ange. Like, I feel bad.
• 19:48
  She's got to be scared. Then anytime someone
• 19:50
  came in and rightfully asked, what am I watching
• 19:55
  right now? Brianna would just say, I lost Jenga.
• 20:00
  That's all she would say! I was at one point,
• 20:04
  at the beginning, just explaining, oh, I'm doing
• 20:07
  a solo investigation, I'm handcuffed in a bathtub,
• 20:10
  don't call the police, I'm fine. And it just
• 20:14
  devolved to, I lost a game of Jenga and my friends
• 20:17
  hate me. And I love how other people in the comments
• 20:22
  hopped on. and we're like in on the bit like
• 20:27
  yes these are total strangers on the internet
• 20:31
  and whenever someone came in and was like what
• 20:33
  am i watching what am i watching a stranger who
• 20:36
  has no idea who we are the only context for who
• 20:39
  we are is brianna is handcuffed to a bathtub
• 20:42
  they would jump in and reply to people saying
• 20:44
  she lost the game as if that's normal who are
• 20:49
  these people on the internet That's just, like,
• 20:52
  engage in discourse. Oh, she lost a game of Jenga.
• 20:54
  It's okay. So they, her friends handcuffed her
• 20:56
  to a bathtub and left the building. What? Why
• 21:00
  is that normal to these people? Yeah. I couldn't
• 21:05
  tell if I was watching, like, a parody or something.
• 21:07
  You know, when they start jumping in, I was like,
• 21:09
  are these people real? Are they trolling? Are
• 21:11
  they, like, again, the whole thing of, like,
• 21:13
  the uncanny and stuff. It's like. Yeah. Like,
• 21:16
  it's scary, but she just lost the game of Jenga.
• 21:20
  It's like. hang on should i be scared and the
• 21:26
  first thing i wanted to do when we got home was
• 21:28
  watch back this footage because we were watching
• 21:30
  tiktok live you know screen then like i said
• 21:33
  i had the whole other camera filming you know
• 21:35
  the black magic cinema camera so filming in like
• 21:38
  really clear cool footage and i wanted to see
• 21:41
  like you know i can relive that live stream in
• 21:44
  that camera the whole time i was watching it
• 21:47
  again on replay and i don't often re -watch stuff
• 21:50
  but i did this all i was thinking was i have
• 21:55
  no reason to edit this we have no films coming
• 21:58
  up where this would fit in at all tonally but
• 22:03
  if i were to edit this do i put creepy music
• 22:07
  or funny music i just kept thinking i was like
• 22:10
  i should put funny music there but wait wait
• 22:14
  i should put creepy music there and then i would
• 22:16
  like switch out and i would be like it works
• 22:19
  With both music. Like it works funny. It works
• 22:23
  scary. It's a horror comedy. It ended up being.
• 22:27
  I ended up editing. This hour long live stream.
• 22:30
  Into a 20 minute short film. Called Beware the
• 22:33
  Haunted Bathtub. And it plays as a horror comedy.
• 22:37
  And I feel like a lot of people. In the paranormal.
• 22:41
  When they make their shit. Make their content.
• 22:44
  They feel like. They have to establish a tone.
• 22:48
  And if they say. This is a scary video. This
• 22:51
  is a scary episode. We're dealing with a demon
• 22:54
  here. It's gotta be scary and demonic. Like that's
• 22:58
  the tone. We gotta stick to it. But I feel like
• 23:01
  more often than not with the paranormal, it rests
• 23:06
  in that uncanny. And honestly, I kind of like
• 23:10
  that. We put something out. That's a 20 minute
• 23:12
  horror comedy. if anyone comments this is stupid
• 23:17
  this is dumb they are 100 correct yeah but also
• 23:21
  someone says this is scary this is creepy i was
• 23:25
  on the edge of my seat they're also kind of correct
• 23:28
  yeah i think what we did with it it really it
• 23:33
  really shows that because like you like you were
• 23:36
  saying like the paranormal most people always
• 23:39
  focus on like the negative or like this really
• 23:43
  scary or the terrifying or and you don't see
• 23:47
  this side of paranormal investigating very often
• 23:50
  where it can be comedic you can have funny things
• 23:54
  happen some things you do can be stupid but that's
• 23:59
  the thing that's the great part about paranormal
• 24:01
  investigation is it's not all scary and well
• 24:07
  like yeah and believe us majority of the population
• 24:12
  think it's total bs and not scary because it's
• 24:15
  all fake so just enjoy the episode of it to that
• 24:21
  point too people say it's fake it's fake well
• 24:25
  yes this film the short film has a lot of over
• 24:29
  the top you know i hired a narrator like a voiceover
• 24:34
  guy to do like a dramatic like beware the haunted
• 24:37
  bathtubs but there's a lot of like over the top
• 24:40
  editing and stuff Well, not really. I didn't
• 24:43
  push it too far, but you know, it is more than
• 24:45
  we typically do because it was live streamed.
• 24:48
  A thousand people watched this live stream and
• 24:51
  they know it was real. They watched the whole
• 24:53
  hour, you know? So like, I felt like I could
• 24:55
  have edited it a bit more because of that, you
• 24:59
  know, not trying to prove if Joe Schmo on Facebook
• 25:03
  says BS, it's like, okay, cool. A thousand people
• 25:07
  on TikTok know it's real. Who cares? We also
• 25:09
  talked about this before in a later past episode.
• 25:13
  It was talking about how, yes, what we put out
• 25:17
  there is real. Like our stories are genuine.
• 25:21
  Like we may reenact some stuff, but like the
• 25:25
  reenactments is like what actually happened.
• 25:28
  And it's a story. It's, it's a project. It's
• 25:34
  art. You know, it's not what we do. Isn't just
• 25:37
  to. fully show the evidence that we get you know
• 25:42
  we want to put it into a story you know well
• 25:45
  i mean yes and i'd go a step further and pose
• 25:49
  a rhetorical question here i don't expect an
• 25:52
  answer but the definition of documentary is artistic
• 25:55
  representation of reality and i don't know what
• 25:59
  reality was during that was it wasn't what my
• 26:04
  reality doesn't know if it was scary or funny
• 26:08
  I guess that's why it was a horror comedy, because
• 26:10
  to me, it was... It could go either way. And
• 26:14
  I think, Bree, since you did survive, allegedly...
• 26:18
  Allegedly. Now you're back. You might get sucked
• 26:21
  back into the portal. You survived the bathtub.
• 26:23
  Yeah, I survived the bathtub. How do you feel
• 26:26
  about the whole bathtub experience? It was...
• 26:30
  It was different. I... Like I said, it was probably
• 26:38
  one of the more fun solo investigations that
• 26:41
  I've done. And it gave me more courage to do
• 26:45
  more solos in the future. I'm saying that now
• 26:49
  and I'm probably going to regret saying it later.
• 26:53
  Because I always feel like, yeah, I'm going to
• 26:56
  do this thing. And then it's like, oh crap, I
• 26:58
  have to do this thing. I like how your little
• 27:04
  idea to get Hank up to a bathtub turned into
• 27:07
  the most iconic live stream we've ever done and
• 27:11
  then a short film that we don't really know how
• 27:16
  to talk about or promote. Any final thoughts?
• 27:21
  I don't even know what else to say about this
• 27:23
  other than if you're intrigued, which you should
• 27:25
  be, go check out Beware the Haunted Bat Tubs.
• 27:28
  It's a 20 minute short streaming on Paraflix.
• 27:31
  There won't be any film festival screenings for
• 27:33
  this. There's no film festivals. You can't submit
• 27:37
  this to any film festival. What film festival
• 27:38
  is going to watch Beware the Haunted Bat Tubs?
• 27:41
  I think it's still worth trying to submit. I
• 27:44
  think it's fun. Why the fuck not, honestly? Why
• 27:49
  not? Yeah. Will it get accepted? I don't know.
• 27:56
  Okay, okay. I'll look at free festivals to submit
• 27:59
  to. Just watch. You're going to submit it and
• 28:01
  it gets... Everyone's going to be like, wow,
• 28:03
  this is great. Every single film festival you
• 28:06
  submitted it to, they accept it and you'd be
• 28:09
  like, what the heck? That's usually how it works,
• 28:13
  to be honest. Because, I mean... The least expected
• 28:17
  stuff happens. Yeah. Not just because I'm the
• 28:20
  main star in the film. Not really. But you are.
• 28:24
  But also, it is very well put together and it
• 28:28
  tells a really good story. Like you said, it's
• 28:31
  a documentary that is a work of art. And you
• 28:36
  frame things very well and it plays and reads
• 28:41
  very well. If it wasn't me who was in the video,
• 28:47
  I would be interested in watching it all the
• 28:50
  same. That's a good plug and all, but I was looking
• 28:55
  at the website you submit film festivals to,
• 28:58
  and there's a lot of free ones that have to do
• 29:01
  with water. Unfortunately, I think they're all
• 29:04
  environmental or climate change based, so it
• 29:08
  might not be appropriate. But they're free, so
• 29:10
  why not? Yeah, why not? Can you imagine? It's
• 29:14
  just like a bunch of environmental like documentaries.
• 29:17
  And then we submit to the documentary category.
• 29:20
  The jury is just like. But like we said at the
• 29:27
  top, this is like really advanced quantum science.
• 29:29
  You know, the residual energy containment vessel
• 29:32
  portals and stuff. So any any scientist worth
• 29:38
  their. What's that saying? Worth their salt?
• 29:42
  I don't know. I'm not good at idioms. Who knows?
• 29:45
  I don't. Whatever. Okay, so this is getting stupid.
• 29:50
  Any final thoughts? This is getting stupid? It
• 29:55
  started stupid, unfortunately. All of this was
• 29:58
  stupid, to be honest. What if Bri actually was
• 30:01
  stuck in a portal? What if? What if this is all
• 30:04
  real? If Brianna's stuck in the portal, then
• 30:07
  who's this on the screen? You'll never know.
• 30:13
  I'm scared. It looks like Bree. It sounds like
• 30:16
  Bree. Is this... Is this her doppelganger? What?
• 30:22
