  Speaker 1: Nine. It's a bail at a kid at Candice Lopez
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: producer poo. We've been talking about the most haunted places
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: in Texas, which so far I think almost all of
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: them are here on the Metroplex, you know, in DFW,
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: which is crazy because so they say Texas is one
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: of the most haunted places in the world. There's just
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: so much history here. I feel like there's a lot
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: of history, there's a lot of ghosts. Unfortunately, that's my experiends.
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: This list is from some like paranormal experts that you
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: know listened down. Number ten was Old Alton Bridge, go
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: Man's Bridge and Denton, very famous place. Number nine, surprisingly
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: to me was six Flags Over Texas, which they say
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: is very haunted. Number eight yesterday was White Rock Lake
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: and today at number seven on the list, and we're
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: gonna count this down all the way till Halloween. Number
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: seven is the Baker Hotel in Mineral Wells, which is
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: a legendary place for so many years. It opened originally
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: back in the day in like nineteen twenty two. It
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: was TB. Baker who did it, and this was a
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: hotel hell that was iconic around the country and no
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: I mean known around the world, believe it or not,
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: because of the crazy water that was said to have
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: healing power, the crazy water in mineral wells, which you
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: could buy in the stores right now, which I don't
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: know if it necessarily is magical, but it was. It's
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: rich in minerals. So back in the day, people used
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: to come from all over the place to try to
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: soak in the water and heal themselves with the ailment
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: they had. And it was serious stuff back then. You know,
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: they didn't have modern medicine. I mean they had medicine, yeah,
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: but it wasn't like modern medicine like it is now.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: So I mean this was like famous people used to
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: go there. I mean, it sounds funny now to say
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: like the famous people that were, but it was a
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: big deal back then. Yeah, like you know Judy Garland,
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: who knows her, grew up with her, like Clark Gable,
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: Ronald Reagan. Really crazy water, Will Rogers, you don't know.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: I had some recently, not knowing what it was. I
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: bought it at Juice Land and I drank and I
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: was like, look, why, Yeah, I just didn't like the taste.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: It's straight from a bathtub in mineral wells. A fan,
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: you're not. No, I actually like it and I buy
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: it sometimes at Kroger. Shout out to mineral Wells. Nice. Yeah,
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: either way, But people used to go there and soak
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: in the water. Maybe they didn't drink it. We're messing up, huh.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: Either way, It rumorates like Bonnie and Clyde stayed there
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: back in the day. There's so much history there, but
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: then it closed down because of the Great Depression and whatnot,
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: and they've had it close for years. The ghosts there
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: are the crazy part. What they say is many ghosts
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: haunt this hotel and the area around it. One of
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: the more notable sightings they talk about has been the
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: bell Hot Boy, a certain bell Hot boy that it
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: was really young and I guess what happened back in
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: the day is I don't know what was going on
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: with elevators back in the day, but he was crushed
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: by an elevator. He was crushed in the lift. I guess.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: Actually he wasn't crushed. He was on another floor and
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: went to step off thinking the elevator was there and
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: it wasn't and he fell. Oopsie. Yeah, which, Candice, it's
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: milling to the oopsie either way. Can you imagine the
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: days where there was elevators, no doors, you just stepped off. Yeah. Anyway,
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: I guess what, his ghosts still roams around that area
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: in his uniform, which is kind of freaky to think about.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: People have seen him multiple sightings. That's not the only ghost.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: There's another ghost, TB. Baker himself from the Baker Hotel.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: They say he haunts the facility and the site and
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: even specifically the room he used to stay in all
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: the time, which the crazier part is to me is
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: that I guess he was like common. He would stay
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: in the eleventh floor the suite, and not only did
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: his ghosts haunt it, but there's a misstress of his
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: that haunts that hotel or that area now too, because
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: he would keep her on another floor while his wife
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: was there. And one day, and this is real, real story,
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: one day she couldn't take it anymore, the mistress, and
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: she jumped out of the window and you know, unlive
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: to herself because she just couldn't take the pressure of
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: being a mistress and feeling disrespected. She ended it right
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: there piece on another FLOORO, bro, he was balling. When
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: you modernize the story as well, Yeah, when you can
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: have your side piece. Hey, listen, I can't talk to
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: you right now. I'm gonna put you up on the twelfth.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: He kept telling her, like, I'm gonna leave my wife.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: He's on the eleventh. She's on the eleventh floor with me. Yeah,
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: but girl, I'm gonna keep you on the ninth. Yeah,
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: I'll keep you and I'll come down after she goes
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: to sleep. I'll be right down. I'll text you when
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: she's sleeping. I guess they didn't have a text. I'll
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: set a pigeon. Yeah, I'll send a messenger pigeon when
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: she falls asleep. Hey, you up either way. I guess
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: you can walk into the room that he used to
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: stay in and you could smell his cigar, and you
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: can smell the mistresses perfume. They say many investigations have
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: said this. Hold on. Okay, and now, Brittany, you got
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: a story about the Baker Hotel.
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: Do you know that there was a doctor there that
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: was you know, because he believed in the mental water
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: would help cure people with like unfortunate you know, mental disorder.
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: He also used to do I don't know if you
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: can say this one, but he used to do autopsies
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: on people while they were alive.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: Yes, yes, in the hotel what hotel basement.
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: And then there was a lady back in the fifties
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: that thought she could jump from the balcony and land
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: in the pool and she was a couple of yards
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: too short.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: Wow, there's so many ghosts. And I guess you know
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: it's taken a long time to reopen because one of
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: the issues is construction workers. Some of the construction workers
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: were scared and quit.
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: I have a my nephew. I guess my nephew in moll.
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: I guess that's what my niece's husband. He was one
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: of the construction workers or companies that went in because
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: they hire multiple companies. She said that he had three
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: guys walk off the site and never came back.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: Yes, I've heard that from it. And he gave me
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: the chills because and I'm glad you said that, because
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: I heard multiple stories about construction workers that said, I
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: can't go back in. I can't go back in and
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: do it.
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: I can't force nobody to go in there. I've been
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: inside the Baker Hotel and there's no Wayne Hill. I
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: feel that I.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: Don't know when is it supposed to be done pretty soon.
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: Right, well, they said twenty six, twenty twenty six.
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: Okay, well thank you, Brittany. Isn't that for you all?
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: Now they're saying it it was just delayed again. Yeah,
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: I think to like twenty twenty eight. Would you stay there? No?
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: You wouldn't. No, see I would pooh. Would you stay there? No?
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: Why would you do that? Why not? It's new? I mean,
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: if it's new, I'm saying it's rebuilt and it's supposed
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: to be gorgeous. I was totally everything with us. It
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: sounds nice, but it's gonna be gorgeous. I go have
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: lunch there. Yeah, I'll do something during the day. I
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: ain't spend the night. Maybe just chill by the elevator,
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: wait for the bell hop boy, wait for the mistress
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: to come to my room. I wonder what her perfume was.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: You would wonder that, like Diamond's box shut off,
