- 0:00Speaker 1: Wasn't anything that felt negative. It was more playful. I

- 0:41Speaker 2: some very special guests. We are taking a look back
- 0:44Speaker 2: at Incredible Tales, a horror anthology that add on channel
- 0:48Speaker 2: five from 2004 to 2017. We will also ask our
- 0:52Speaker 2: guests to share their scary stories.
- 0:55Speaker 2: This episode once again joined by Art, the host of
- 0:58Speaker 2: Incredible Tales throughout its 13 years. Hi.
- 1:01Speaker 1: Hi guys. So looking forward to this episode. So many stories. Oh, yes.
- 1:09Speaker 2: So in every episode of Tales From Incredible Tales, we
- 1:12Speaker 2: will explore a different theme and how it ties to
- 1:15Speaker 2: the classic Incredible Tales episodes. For this episode, we're looking
- 1:18Speaker 2: at strange things that happen while you're on a retreat
- 1:22Speaker 2: or at a hotel or even just enjoying some quiet
- 1:25Speaker 2: time off the beaten path. This episode's theme was inspired
- 1:29Speaker 2: by Possessed from season one, an old hotel and no picnic.
- 1:33Speaker 2: From season two possess follows a group of teenagers working
- 1:37Speaker 2: at a restaurant. They all stay over at a chalet.
- 1:40Speaker 2: But little did they know that the chalet already has
- 1:43Speaker 2: an occupant whom they can't see soon after they step
- 1:46Speaker 2: foot into the chalet,
- 1:47Speaker 2: it possesses one of them and wreaks havoc in all hotel.
- 1:51Speaker 2: A young chambermaid gets a job in one of the
- 1:53Speaker 2: oldest hotels in Singapore as she dutifully goes about her
- 1:57Speaker 2: job through the corridors of the hotel. She finds that
- 2:00Speaker 2: the hotel holds a terrible secret behind its creaking doors,
- 2:05Speaker 2: always creaking doors
- 2:07Speaker 2: and in no picnic. A young couple goes on a
- 2:10Speaker 2: picnic in a remote part of Chu Kang. While the
- 2:13Speaker 2: boyfriend is preoccupied with setting up the picnic, the girl
- 2:16Speaker 2: encounters something that changes her and ultimately terrorizes her boyfriend. Yeah,
- 2:22Speaker 2: that's
- 2:22Speaker 1: intense. I
- 2:23Speaker 2: know. I
- 2:25Speaker 1: feel like we're in the movie theater.
- 2:28Speaker 2: I'm, I'm quite correct me if I'm wrong. I'm quite
- 2:31Speaker 2: sure I saw you jump. I did. You did right
- 2:34Speaker 2: when the door close. I just like
- 2:39Speaker 2: a couple of times there. So art. How did things
- 2:42Speaker 2: change for you when you know incredible tales went to
- 2:45Speaker 2: season
- 2:46Speaker 1: two? I think it was a natural progression when we
- 2:49Speaker 1: went into two. I think once we got into the
- 2:52Speaker 1: later seasons, that's when I realized how powerful our stories
- 2:57Speaker 1: were becoming and connecting with people. But going to season two,
- 3:03Speaker 1: it was still an extension of me being fairly new
- 3:05Speaker 1: to Singapore. I continue to, like, learn more through the stories,
- 3:08Speaker 1: but it's a bit different because as I'm here longer,
- 3:11Speaker 1: I'm more, more comfortable. But it's kind of like when
- 3:16Speaker 1: you're white eyed and you have no idea of this
- 3:19Speaker 1: new culture or new place that you're coming
- 3:21Speaker 2: into. And I have to agree because the second season
- 3:23Speaker 2: has even more intensified, more jump scares. Yeah. I think
- 3:29Speaker 2: the second season they show a little bit more
- 3:32Speaker 2: the spirits. You see a little bit more of the spirits.
- 3:35Speaker 2: What was like the gap between shooting for season one
- 3:38Speaker 2: and season two was there didn't jump straight into it
- 3:41Speaker 1: sometimes. Like, we would have, like, a year or two
- 3:43Speaker 1: before another season. But, like, the first couple of seasons
- 3:46Speaker 1: were sort of back to back. But what I found
- 3:49Speaker 1: interesting is
- 3:51Speaker 1: basically when you think about the stories, you would think
- 3:55Speaker 1: of the scenario and situations being at night. So it
- 3:59Speaker 1: was so seeing these stories told where it's like in
- 4:02Speaker 1: broad daylight gives a whole different context to it. That's true.
- 4:06Speaker 1: Even the chat was like during the day.
- 4:09Speaker 2: Yeah, because you would least expect anything to happen. Oh, yeah.
- 4:12Speaker 2: Broad daylight like that, that last bit where the guy
- 4:16Speaker 2: walks away from the door and then you just see
- 4:18Speaker 2: the lady standing there in this last clip.
- 4:20Speaker 2: That's like it, it feels like a very, it's not
- 4:25Speaker 2: gonna work again. I had a hard job. He thought
- 4:30Speaker 2: it was real. Exactly. I mean, ok, never mind. You're
- 4:36Speaker 2: an actor. You do this for a living. You can't
- 4:38Speaker 2: do this
- 4:40Speaker 2: a little too convincing sometimes. Exactly. The stories here which
- 4:45Speaker 2: are possessed and old hotel, they deal with ghosts from
- 4:49Speaker 2: Singapore's history from the time of colonialism to the Japanese occupation. So,
- 4:55Speaker 2: in your experience, what are some of the places where
- 4:58Speaker 2: you think the echoes of our past are still a
- 5:00Speaker 2: little
- 5:01Speaker 1: louder? I think everything you just mentioned right there, those
- 5:05Speaker 1: echo a lot louder because they are more
- 5:08Speaker 1: rooted in history. We only get a taste or hear stories,
- 5:13Speaker 1: but we don't know what actually happened. So what actually
- 5:17Speaker 1: happened could be so much more darker and further than
- 5:20Speaker 1: what we know.
- 5:21Speaker 2: I wanted to ask like, were you on set for
- 5:24Speaker 2: shooting the links? Because I remember like some of the
- 5:26Speaker 2: links for these episodes shown what you were in like
- 5:29Speaker 2: the forested area? Yeah. How was it
- 5:32Speaker 1: like
- 5:33Speaker 1: the four areas um As in all areas? Um I
- 5:37Speaker 1: keep on like men saying this is, you have to
- 5:40Speaker 1: just kind of go into it, respecting the space that
- 5:43Speaker 1: you're going into. For me, it's always a bit different
- 5:46Speaker 1: shooting at night versus during the day, I feel at
- 5:49Speaker 1: night there is more
- 5:51Speaker 1: energies that are around. But I would be really interested
- 5:56Speaker 1: to get like um accounts from the actors because as
- 6:00Speaker 1: we're revisiting these stories, it's interesting to see the actors
- 6:04Speaker 1: and some of the actors are very good and to
- 6:07Speaker 1: find out if they had any experience because we're talking
- 6:09Speaker 1: about the crew. Right. But you also have the actors
- 6:12Speaker 1: as well.
- 6:14Speaker 2: Definitely.
- 6:15Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it would be quite nice to actually
- 6:17Speaker 2: at some point revisit some of these episodes with that,
- 6:20Speaker 2: the cast and the crew as well. Exactly. Because you
- 6:22Speaker 2: never know what might happen to them. Right. Especially when
- 6:25Speaker 2: they are acting out that particular scene, which speaks of,
- 6:28Speaker 2: speaking of which because in both possess and no picnic,
- 6:31Speaker 2: a spirit sticks over one character. So what do you
- 6:34Speaker 2: think makes a person susceptible to possession or is it
- 6:38Speaker 2: like a particular type of person that is
- 6:41Speaker 2: we always get it or is it just a wrong time?
- 6:43Speaker 2: Wrong place kind of situation?
- 6:45Speaker 1: Well, I'm not an expert in
- 6:48Speaker 1: giving like a formal answer to that, but I can
- 6:51Speaker 1: only give an answer from my own personal experience or
- 6:54Speaker 1: like my thoughts on it is I feel certain people
- 6:57Speaker 1: have are more attune. I think it has to do
- 7:01Speaker 1: with your energies at a certain time, whether you're in
- 7:05Speaker 1: a place of, I think people who are more depressed
- 7:07Speaker 1: or maybe like going through certain situations, their energies are
- 7:10Speaker 1: lower so
- 7:11Speaker 1: they're more susceptible to energies that might come in. So,
- 7:15Speaker 1: um if you're not in the right place in terms
- 7:19Speaker 1: of like your feelings and stuff, I do feel that
- 7:21Speaker 1: energies can come in a way to
- 7:24Speaker 1: take over you in a way to the, to the
- 7:27Speaker 1: point of possession. I don't know. It could.
- 7:30Speaker 2: Yeah, I've seen, I've seen a real life possession before.
- 7:33Speaker 2: It's really weird. Yeah. So, so basically I, I saw
- 7:36Speaker 2: one of my oldest friends that I trust the most
- 7:40Speaker 2: just flip the switch just like that. Wow.
- 7:44Speaker 1: Yeah. I had a nun in Thailand who explained the, and,
- 7:50Speaker 1: and spirits and when deities possess you, it's different. It's
- 7:55Speaker 1: a different energy versus like uh a negative spirit taking
- 8:01Speaker 1: possession over you. I think it's a lot has to
- 8:04Speaker 1: do with like, um because it's a whole different territory
- 8:08Speaker 1: and it's like um when going back to your question about,
- 8:11Speaker 1: you know, um
- 8:12Speaker 1: how people who are more susceptible, I think it's more
- 8:15Speaker 1: like a radio frequency when you turn on to your
- 8:17Speaker 1: radio station. So you just happen to have that particular signal,
- 8:21Speaker 1: that kind of tunes in with their signal. So that's
- 8:26Speaker 1: why certain people are more susceptible to like seeing things and,
- 8:29Speaker 1: and certain people don't. Yeah, it's just more of that wave,
- 8:33Speaker 1: the radio wavelength.
- 8:35Speaker 2: So, so yeah, it goes with the whole stereotype, like,
- 8:38Speaker 2: don't drink,
- 8:39Speaker 2: I don't drink because it's easier for you to get
- 8:42Speaker 1: possessed if you're seeing it or you sense, but then
- 8:46Speaker 1: the level of being possessed or seeing a possession, it's just,
- 8:51Speaker 1: it's a whole different level. Yeah, exactly.
- 8:53Speaker 2: It's like an intrusion, a greater intrusion into your life.
- 8:56Speaker 2: Because it's somebody, you know.
- 8:58Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So in my culture, we believe that
- 9:01Speaker 2: possession can happen in two cases. One, it could be
- 9:04Speaker 2: a work of somebody else could be like somebody else
- 9:07Speaker 2: sent off something to you, possess you because hatred or something,
- 9:12Speaker 2: it could also be
- 9:14Speaker 2: due to you. You know, sometimes we still have this,
- 9:18Speaker 2: this issue where people adopt spirits. Right. Right. Right. So, um,
- 9:25Speaker 2: they adopt spirits for their own use and then they
- 9:28Speaker 2: don't feed the spirits. Well, the spirits eats them back. Yeah,
- 9:31Speaker 2: it's
- 9:32Speaker 1: black magic. It exists in Thailand as well. Where if
- 9:36Speaker 1: you dabble into black magic with voodoo or, but the
- 9:39Speaker 1: thing about black magic is
- 9:42Speaker 1: you have to be very careful how you play because
- 9:46Speaker 1: it will go back 23 times. Folds. Yes. Yeah.
- 9:51Speaker 2: Yeah, because I've had an experience where my sister saw one.
- 9:54Speaker 2: She seeing you see, so she saw one and it
- 9:57Speaker 2: was in our house by God when it entered. So
- 10:02Speaker 2: I saw something
- 10:04Speaker 2: like a figure just passed by me while I was
- 10:06Speaker 2: in the living room and go straight to my sister's room.
- 10:09Speaker 2: And then my younger sister went inside her room and
- 10:12Speaker 2: the next thing she's wheeling out, she wasn't possessed, but
- 10:14Speaker 2: she keep on pointing to the corner of the wall
- 10:17Speaker 2: and she keep on crying and crying and crying and
- 10:20Speaker 2: we tried to console her, say some prayers, but I
- 10:23Speaker 2: can feel such an energy in that room.
- 10:26Speaker 2: It was like one of those moments where I, I
- 10:29Speaker 2: totally believe that. Yeah, this thing is really, so I
- 10:33Speaker 2: guess when experiences hit you, that's when you just change,
- 10:38Speaker 1: you become a believer. Yeah. It's
- 10:41Speaker 2: hard to be a non-believer after you see enough.
- 10:44Speaker 1: Yeah. In Thailand ghost Children grow spirits. They call G man.
- 10:50Speaker 1: So I think earlier in my time in Thailand I
- 10:54Speaker 1: had stayed over at my friend's house
- 10:56Speaker 1: and I, I think I went for a nap. There
- 10:59Speaker 1: was like a lot of people over I woke up with,
- 11:03Speaker 1: I woke up with kids in the room, but I
- 11:06Speaker 1: didn't see kids and I hear, I heard laughter and
- 11:10Speaker 1: I actually I can hear like I can hear running around.
- 11:15Speaker 1: So I thought I was dreaming at first and it
- 11:18Speaker 1: was kind of a different experience for me because
- 11:22Speaker 1: uh it wasn't anything that felt like negative, it was
- 11:26Speaker 1: more playful and then I mentioned it to my friend.
- 11:31Speaker 1: Um and it turns out that I guess his uncle
- 11:35Speaker 1: or someone in the house has that, you know. Yeah,
- 11:40Speaker 1: the Guman where they um they would have this altar
- 11:44Speaker 1: just for the children's ghost where they give him like,
- 11:48Speaker 1: you know, candy and like milk and,
- 11:50Speaker 1: and stuff like that to sort of protect the house.
- 11:55Speaker 1: So that was my first experience in that, in that respect,
- 11:59Speaker 1: having an experience that was like more light. But it
- 12:02Speaker 1: was still pretty strange for me
- 12:04Speaker 2: because it's not normal. Yeah. Essentially bring to a spirit
- 12:09Speaker 2: of a child is deceased. Yeah, exactly.
- 12:13Speaker 2: Speaking of spirits in many places, we know that as
- 12:17Speaker 2: we travel, definitely there will be spirits anywhere. Have you
- 12:21Speaker 2: experienced any strange things that happens to you when you're traveling?
- 12:26Speaker 2: I
- 12:26Speaker 1: have a lot. I have a lot. I'll be sharing.
- 12:29Speaker 2: You. Look, look at this side, this side. Yeah, I
- 12:32Speaker 2: was looking at what they do. I looked at you.
- 12:34Speaker 2: I was like,
- 12:35Speaker 1: oh, this is whether I'm going to share in this episode.
- 12:39Speaker 1: Teasing.
- 12:39Speaker 2: Actually, I'm quite curious for win. Yeah, nothing overt. It's,
- 12:45Speaker 2: it's one of those things where it's just that feeling.
- 12:49Speaker 2: I don't know whether it's just because you're an unfamiliar environment.
- 12:53Speaker 2: But for one thing I didn't know about the superstition
- 12:56Speaker 2: that you're supposed to knock on the door before you go.
- 12:59Speaker 2: I had no idea about that. So I used to
- 13:01Speaker 2: continuously just walk into the hotel room. I was like,
- 13:03Speaker 2: it's fine.
- 13:04Speaker 2: The worst is always that sense when you're alone in
- 13:09Speaker 2: the hotel room and you feel like you're being watched
- 13:12Speaker 2: that I, that I've experienced quite a bit and in
- 13:16Speaker 2: many different countries, it's not just, it's not just like, oh,
- 13:20Speaker 2: in the region you feel that way, but like there was,
- 13:23Speaker 2: I stayed in a very old bed and breakfast in
- 13:26Speaker 2: London and I love that place. But every time I
- 13:30Speaker 2: fall asleep on that, just you get the sense that
- 13:32Speaker 2: somebody is watching you.
- 13:34Speaker 2: So, yeah, that thankfully nothing overt but always just speaking
- 13:39Speaker 2: of the knocking door. Do you guys practice it? You
- 13:41Speaker 2: knock the hotel room? I
- 13:43Speaker 1: don't, you don't? I do it on planes. Oh, really? Oh, yeah. Oh, why?
- 13:48Speaker 1: But it's not related to spirits.
- 13:53Speaker 2: But, but you do, you do it now, now, now
- 13:55Speaker 2: you do it. Mine would not be knocking the door.
- 13:58Speaker 2: Mine will be opening the door, see a prayer and
- 14:01Speaker 2: say another prayer and say more prayers inside. Yeah, it's similar.
- 14:07Speaker 2: It's almost like saying hello. I come in peace. That's right.
- 14:12Speaker 2: You disturb me. I want you. Ok. Ok. Yes, because
- 14:14Speaker 2: what happened was before that I didn't do it.
- 14:17Speaker 2: And those things happened. It was on my honeymoon if
- 14:21Speaker 2: I believe and we were right at the back near
- 14:24Speaker 2: the beach. I don't think it's a good idea to
- 14:26Speaker 2: be there. And
- 14:29Speaker 2: that night when I was sleeping, I had a nightmare. I,
- 14:32Speaker 2: I it was in my vision where I had somebody
- 14:35Speaker 2: standing right beside me on my bed. He was looking
- 14:38Speaker 2: down on me. Oh God. While sleeping, I was looking down.
- 14:41Speaker 2: So II I had my wife woke me up and
- 14:44Speaker 2: I realized that oh yeah, it was just a dream.
- 14:47Speaker 2: But spirits can also disturb you in dreams. It was like, no,
- 14:50Speaker 2: I was inside my body but I was looking up
- 14:53Speaker 2: to the spirit that was looking down towards me. Yeah.
- 14:57Speaker 2: And I can, I can imagine. I can still vision it,
- 15:00Speaker 2: like he's wearing white with black hair but when I
- 15:04Speaker 2: open it is not, that is a, he somehow that
- 15:08Speaker 2: seemed to frighten you even more. Yeah. Yeah, because it's
- 15:11Speaker 2: not normal. Yeah. You know, it's not
- 15:16Speaker 2: what you're talking about.
- 15:17Speaker 1: What's interesting is because, like, for me and Kyle is
- 15:20Speaker 1: quite normal if we come up with, you know, we
- 15:22Speaker 1: have stories but right hand is like, what?
- 15:27Speaker 2: On your honeymoon? Yeah, I've had kisses.
- 15:31Speaker 2: Pretty creepy. It's pretty creepy. So that day I had
- 15:34Speaker 2: to say a prayer and we were very conscious about
- 15:37Speaker 2: what we do and where we go because we don't
- 15:39Speaker 2: want any spirits to follow us home. So II I
- 15:42Speaker 2: also travel, used to travel extensively for work. There was
- 15:46Speaker 2: one project that took me around
- 15:47Speaker 2: Southeast Asia. So by that point, I've seen it all like, wow,
- 15:52Speaker 2: because when you're doing production, you, you usually trying to
- 15:56Speaker 2: save money, especially when you're the crew, right? So you
- 16:00Speaker 2: stay in really weird like creepy hotels pretty, pretty dingy.
- 16:04Speaker 2: Um Then I stayed in a particular hotel in Myanmar.
- 16:09Speaker 2: Oh my God, I was supposed to say two more
- 16:11Speaker 2: days just to sightsee myself. That was maybe a couple
- 16:14Speaker 2: of years back
- 16:15Speaker 2: and I left early because I felt that hotel was
- 16:18Speaker 2: super dirty. I can feel it to my bone. So
- 16:22Speaker 2: I is a hotel, right? Like next to a jungle
- 16:28Speaker 2: and it's like quite out of the city center. But
- 16:32Speaker 2: my clients, because clients, they are very important. So we
- 16:36Speaker 2: gave them rooms with windows.
- 16:38Speaker 2: My room didn't have any window, like it was straight
- 16:42Speaker 2: up pitch black even in the day if you didn't
- 16:44Speaker 2: on the lights. So I I went into the lift,
- 16:48Speaker 2: the lift had like the garlands, the flowers. So it's
- 16:53Speaker 2: like it has a very strong cry smell. Then I
- 16:56Speaker 2: went out with the concierge. He opened a room for
- 16:58Speaker 2: me before he opened and he knocked,
- 17:01Speaker 2: that's why you know like, hey, this is like a
- 17:03Speaker 2: universal thing was saying or this room or something I
- 17:06Speaker 2: open the price is like dirt cheap. So I was like,
- 17:09Speaker 2: wait a minute, there's no, there's no window and there's
- 17:14Speaker 2: like four bits. Wow, I'm one person and there's like
- 17:17Speaker 2: a kitchen and there's like a big bathroom is way
- 17:22Speaker 2: too big for me is insane and didn't have windows. No,
- 17:27Speaker 2: the guy was like,
- 17:29Speaker 2: sir, he knocked it out so that I know you
- 17:32Speaker 2: go first you go in. He put in a key
- 17:35Speaker 2: on the line. Now I walk, I took two steps in.
- 17:38Speaker 2: I I smell, I smell something very funky, like very wet,
- 17:42Speaker 2: like damn smell. I didn't like the smell. I also
- 17:45Speaker 2: didn't like the vi I basically I just told him
- 17:47Speaker 2: got what weird smell they said OK, we both walk
- 17:51Speaker 2: up then he went to change the room.
- 17:53Speaker 2: Then the second room was similar but smaller but it
- 17:56Speaker 2: wasn't any better. It still felt weird. The weird advice
- 17:58Speaker 2: is strong and the layout of the hotel is very weird.
- 18:02Speaker 2: So the lift is right in the middle of the hotel.
- 18:05Speaker 2: So when you take the lift up, then there's like
- 18:07Speaker 2: a four crossroads, so you can go either way. So
- 18:10Speaker 2: my clients took this way that is facing, that's the
- 18:13Speaker 2: rooms with the windows that's facing the main road, which
- 18:15Speaker 2: is quite ok. I took the room which was behind
- 18:19Speaker 2: the lift. That's why it's pure darkness. And I asked,
- 18:23Speaker 2: can I change my room? And then they were like, oh,
- 18:25Speaker 2: you want to change your room $50 per night? That's
- 18:28Speaker 2: like hell, no, I'm not gonna pay like $200 just
- 18:32Speaker 2: to stay in the room with windows.
- 18:34Speaker 2: Oh, wow. So I was very wrong. I was very
- 18:36Speaker 2: wrong wrong. I, I, the whole night I couldn't sleep,
- 18:38Speaker 2: I kept having like vibes like people staring at me.
- 18:41Speaker 2: But luckily I knew some function techniques to change the
- 18:45Speaker 2: I shift around the beds and stuff to make it
- 18:48Speaker 2: in a way by the, the energy was so bad.
- 18:50Speaker 2: But it felt really bad to the point where, but
- 18:52Speaker 2: I didn't sleep for about close two days. And I
- 18:55Speaker 2: was shooting, I was shooting the program while I'm doing that.
- 18:58Speaker 2: Then it affected my work. So I couldn't even stay
- 19:01Speaker 2: on because when, once you read right, my client would
- 19:04Speaker 2: go back to Singapore and then it will change another
- 19:06Speaker 2: set of clients. But I was the lead director for
- 19:09Speaker 2: the whole shoot. So I had to stay on for
- 19:11Speaker 2: the program. So I was like, I can't do this.
- 19:13Speaker 2: I can't, I think if I stay two more days,
- 19:14Speaker 2: come home, we see the ghost on the ghost. You
- 19:17Speaker 2: can feel like the tension is building up already. So
- 19:19Speaker 2: I was like, no, no, no, I straight away, I
- 19:20Speaker 2: booked the flight. I went back home, I went back
- 19:23Speaker 2: in Singapore. Straight as I screwed a book,
- 19:25Speaker 2: I go back, I pay for my own flight. I
- 19:27Speaker 2: told my I'll pay for my own flight. I go home.
- 19:29Speaker 2: But to this day I didn't tell my why, but
- 19:32Speaker 2: I just like I had to get out here. So
- 19:34Speaker 2: then my client saw me and I thought it can
- 19:36Speaker 2: just stay to this and I miss my family. I
- 19:38Speaker 2: need to go home. But the friend that you could
- 19:41Speaker 2: actually stay there for the next two days I had
- 19:43Speaker 2: to my job. I have no choice. Oh my God. I,
- 19:46Speaker 2: I wanted to go home so bad, like seriously so bad.
- 19:49Speaker 2: And I've seen it all. I stay in a hotel
- 19:52Speaker 2: in Brunei.
- 19:53Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure the whole stretch right is a very
- 19:55Speaker 2: long hallway is like from the shining side, from the
- 19:58Speaker 2: shining kind and I was the only unit. Yeah, so
- 20:02Speaker 2: it's quite empty. It's a relatively quiet area of Brunei.
- 20:07Speaker 2: So I was the only hotel and I was fine.
- 20:09Speaker 2: I didn't feel, I felt creepy but I didn't feel
- 20:11Speaker 2: like that intense. But the one I can feel like
- 20:15Speaker 2: the one that thing wanted to get me. So I
- 20:18Speaker 2: fostered out.
- 20:19Speaker 2: Wow, I'm pretty sure you have a lot of experience
- 20:22Speaker 2: if you want to share one very
- 20:25Speaker 1: well to segue off of like Kyle. Um I have
- 20:29Speaker 1: an experience with a producer. Um We were shooting in
- 20:34Speaker 1: Phuket but yeah, we had lots of shoots in Phuket,
- 20:38Speaker 1: but this is a different producer, a different timeline. Um
- 20:42Speaker 1: I think we had uh several different crews, one from
- 20:45Speaker 1: Taiwan and one from Thailand and Singapore.
- 20:48Speaker 1: So we stayed at club med. I remember, I think
- 20:52Speaker 1: my producer at the time, like he was trying to
- 20:54Speaker 1: scare us. One of the nights we were there for
- 20:57Speaker 1: three days, two nights and I think at 11 or 12,
- 21:02Speaker 1: I remember it because I heard like I heard some,
- 21:06Speaker 1: like I had my headphones on so I was like
- 21:08Speaker 1: on my laptop. But um I think he went around
- 21:12Speaker 1: the different like different room and trying to scare people.
- 21:15Speaker 1: So he was throwing like or rocks or what, what not.
- 21:19Speaker 1: And I looked back and I remember I had like,
- 21:23Speaker 1: but for me, I didn't think it was spirits. I
- 21:25Speaker 1: just heard noises. Um And then the next day, I
- 21:30Speaker 1: guess we, we all flew, you know, flew back and
- 21:34Speaker 1: then he didn't come to work for the next two
- 21:36Speaker 1: days when we came back to Singapore and my, the
- 21:40Speaker 1: stylist makeup artist was telling me, you say, did you
- 21:45Speaker 1: hear like, you know, he's,
- 21:47Speaker 1: uh he's not doing really well. He's like, very sick.
- 21:50Speaker 1: Like he brought something back with him. And then that's
- 21:54Speaker 1: when we kind of connected the fact that um he
- 21:58Speaker 1: came back and he was just very withdrawn, very depressed
- 22:02Speaker 1: and it turned out that he had to get a
- 22:06Speaker 1: bo to um basically, you know, find out what was
- 22:11Speaker 1: going on with him. So he had brought the spirit
- 22:13Speaker 1: back with him. So what had happened was that because
- 22:16Speaker 1: he was just running around um and
- 22:20Speaker 1: probably did not pay respects. And you don't, we were,
- 22:23Speaker 1: we had this talk about how, when you go into
- 22:26Speaker 1: the forest or you go into certain areas or you
- 22:28Speaker 1: see incense or whatnot, sometimes you might be stepping into
- 22:31Speaker 1: certain things or places without knowing that you're actually intruding. So,
- 22:38Speaker 1: um the bo said that he actually intruded on a
- 22:42Speaker 1: spirit that was not happy and it was a woman.
- 22:45Speaker 1: So um he, he could actually see her
- 22:49Speaker 1: and he said the only way to uh to get
- 22:52Speaker 1: rid of her or is to bring her back and
- 22:55Speaker 1: do like a little ritual back in Phuket. So that's
- 22:59Speaker 1: what he had to do.
- 23:01Speaker 2: There was the producer that was playing Pranks la.
- 23:03Speaker 1: Yeah. And usually I'm the one who is playing pranks
- 23:06Speaker 1: but like, you know, I took a day, a night
- 23:08Speaker 1: off and maybe because I know better than to do pranks. So, yeah,
- 23:12Speaker 1: as a producer who was doing pranks a lot and
- 23:15Speaker 1: then he got pranked at the, like, the spirit going by.
- 23:18Speaker 2: Ok. So do you all have any tips to ensure
- 23:22Speaker 2: that you guys travel safely? I will say, just bring
- 23:26Speaker 2: any religious objects,
- 23:28Speaker 2: ah, that you have whatever your religion is, thing is
- 23:32Speaker 2: also to make you feel level. I have one, they
- 23:37Speaker 2: usually say that if you would like to book a
- 23:39Speaker 2: resort or hotel, try to make sure that it's not
- 23:42Speaker 2: in between two forests or two jungles because that's where
- 23:46Speaker 2: spirits paths across. So, I don't know, I've never heard
- 23:52Speaker 2: that one before. That's no, there's a lot of rules,
- 23:54Speaker 2: like there's one, like never book the last room
- 23:58Speaker 2: in the hallway right next to the fire. That is
- 24:00Speaker 2: usually the most haunted 10, is it? Yeah, like some
- 24:03Speaker 2: in some culture. 13th floor is a, no, no, is a, no, no. Yes. Yeah.
- 24:09Speaker 2: I think in Taiwan there's no fourth floor
- 24:12Speaker 1: in Thailand. All the condominiums. They don't have it as
- 24:16Speaker 1: 13 as 12 A B. Yeah.
- 24:21Speaker 2: I've noticed like, for 33 A, three BM, that kind
- 24:24Speaker 2: of thing. Like they, it's still four floor. They rebrand
- 24:29Speaker 2: it as a different floor. Right. Right. All right. So
- 24:31Speaker 2: this is a question for our audience. So, what's creepier
- 24:34Speaker 2: to you an old hotel or a resort that's near
- 24:38Speaker 2: a jungle or forest.
- 24:42Speaker 1: I feel when things are more older or like, it's
- 24:46Speaker 1: like it reels in those energies.
- 24:49Speaker 2: So, so you prefer an old
- 24:51Speaker 1: hotel? No, I prefer a new resort in the jungle
- 24:55Speaker 1: or like a forest versus an old hotel because I
- 24:58Speaker 1: think when things are old it has old energies and
- 25:01Speaker 1: it's going to reel in energies. Yeah.
- 25:06Speaker 2: Not well stuck there. I guess, I guess the energy
- 25:09Speaker 2: there because it's a foundation building itself for me is
- 25:17Speaker 2: the other way around. I would prefer an old hotel
- 25:20Speaker 2: because a hotel could mean that it's right in the
- 25:22Speaker 2: city center and then you can just leave. If anything happens,
- 25:27Speaker 2: you can just leave. But if you're in a new
- 25:29Speaker 2: resort in the middle of nowhere,
- 25:32Speaker 2: if you try to leave, like the forest spirits might
- 25:36Speaker 2: get you right. If you try to, I don't know,
- 25:39Speaker 2: like you try to run away. You, you, you're still
- 25:42Speaker 2: surrounded by forest and the forest, forest have even more things. Right.
- 25:46Speaker 2: So I think it's more of a strategy for me.
- 25:49Speaker 2: I agree with art. But I think like if it's
- 25:52Speaker 2: a hotel, I can just run out, then I go
- 25:53Speaker 2: to another hotel down the road or
- 25:55Speaker 1: something. Yeah, I'm thinking we should do a game show together.
- 25:59Speaker 1: It's so funny. Last man standing, let's go. Let's go.
- 26:04Speaker 2: I have to say hearing both the answers. Now, I've
- 26:07Speaker 2: decided I'm just not going to go on holiday for
- 26:08Speaker 2: a while because crap, there's no way to win. Um, no,
- 26:13Speaker 2: but II, I think I'll go with what you were
- 26:15Speaker 2: saying as well where it's
- 26:18Speaker 2: an old hotel, there's something so imposing about it. Even
- 26:22Speaker 2: if it's in the middle of a city that it's
- 26:24Speaker 2: like you saying, the energy and I couldn't put into
- 26:26Speaker 2: words like what it is about these old buildings that
- 26:29Speaker 2: just they're so imposing. But yeah, it's, the energy is
- 26:32Speaker 2: very oppressive energy to it. I don't know whether the
- 26:36Speaker 2: energies are good or bad, mostly bad but probably, but yeah, I,
- 26:42Speaker 2: I new resort in the jungle. Yes.
- 26:45Speaker 2: All right. So for myself, because I've had experiences for
- 26:48Speaker 2: both old hotel and also in the jungle. So this
- 26:52Speaker 2: is a very high pick.
- 26:56Speaker 2: It's hard. I don't want both. But if I would
- 26:58Speaker 2: have to go for both either, I'll go for a
- 27:01Speaker 2: whole whole hotel. Um Simply because like what Carl says,
- 27:07Speaker 2: if anything happens, you can run out because I've been
- 27:10Speaker 2: in a resort near a jungle. In fact, just beside
- 27:14Speaker 2: a beach where I was touched by a spirit in
- 27:17Speaker 2: the room and when I ran out it's the jungle.
- 27:20Speaker 2: So I like part two guys. I'm not gonna do that.
- 27:24Speaker 2: That was like the bit like let me touch him,
- 27:26Speaker 2: then he will run out to the jungle. That's where
- 27:28Speaker 2: I get him. Exactly. Maybe. So I'm like, OK, that
- 27:31Speaker 2: is not what I want. So maybe the city is
- 27:33Speaker 2: much more safer if anything happens, I can just run
- 27:37Speaker 2: out to another hotel. Yeah. So old hotel for me. Nice.
- 27:41Speaker 2: There's no winning in this game.
- 27:43Speaker 2: Yeah, you lose, you lose. It's like a horror movie. Right.
- 27:47Speaker 2: That's right. It is that time again. Carl. Yes. Our
- 27:50Speaker 2: one morbid fact of the day,
- 27:53Speaker 2: as always we said it for this doesn't have to
- 27:56Speaker 2: be about ghost. It could be about anything but Kyle,
- 27:59Speaker 2: what is our one morbid fact of today?
- 28:02Speaker 2: Anyone here scared of clowns? Oh, I'm sorry, are you
- 28:07Speaker 2: afraid of clowns?
- 28:08Speaker 1: Not really. Are
- 28:10Speaker 2: you? Yes, you have. Like, what was that word for
- 28:12Speaker 2: clown phobia? I, I'm not sure it like there's an
- 28:16Speaker 2: English word for it like, yeah, I can't remember what
- 28:18Speaker 2: it is. The fear of clowns. Yeah, I didn't realize
- 28:21Speaker 2: I was scared of clown
- 28:22Speaker 2: until I saw Ronald mcdonald. And then recently there was
- 28:27Speaker 2: a Halloween party where little child dress as clown and
- 28:30Speaker 2: I was standing like 10 ft away and I was
- 28:33Speaker 2: just staring at him was no, sorry. Before we continue.
- 28:37Speaker 2: Donal mcdonald, I thought it would be quite creepy or maybe,
- 28:41Speaker 2: but I thought you were gonna say like w from it. Oh, that's,
- 28:45Speaker 2: I think that one is like not on the incredible scale, right?
- 28:48Speaker 2: Is like, that's a 10 plus plus.
- 28:52Speaker 2: Yeah. So I guess you can't go to Nevada. Apparently
- 28:56Speaker 2: in Nevada. There is a clown theme hotel. You,
- 29:01Speaker 2: and it's a doubt America's scariest motel. And then, and, and,
- 29:05Speaker 2: and the best part right next to a cemetery.
- 29:10Speaker 1: Are you serious? You can't get creepier than
- 29:13Speaker 2: that? Some dark tourism thing.
- 29:16Speaker 1: Can you imagine if they just got everyone who had
- 29:19Speaker 1: that phobia and just threw them into that hotel game show.
- 29:22Speaker 1: A game show? Yeah, that, that's a game show. That's
- 29:25Speaker 1: a game that I would watch That.
- 29:27Speaker 2: I feel so bad for those contestants. I would watch it.
