I'm a southerner in a past life you you have Southern bell Vibes thank you so much of your soul that's super duper
kind yeah it's also just like when you know talking in a Southern accent is so buttery it's also fun like it it's the
easiest accent to slip into yes you know British is prettyy easy British is is easy but it never sounds authentic nope

we would say you're probably right say shut your F southern accent always sounds right like it just sounds you
can't mess it up it's buttery yeah you know I love it it depends on where in the South I don't know where mine is but
it feels buttery you know you sort of sounded like when Reese Witherspoon goes Southern in um Sweet Home Alabama that

God uh Louisiana accent is so cool but it's one that I cannot do yeah they're it's cozy it is cozy if you're from
Louisiana I think you have a cozy Vibe because you know what it is like historical things are sort of not all of
them but some of them are kind of cozy they have a cozy Vibe most of the time some of the time I should when they go
way back yeah sort of you know yeah I was trying to transition us into what we're talking about speaking of
historical Vibes thank you see you picked up what I was stepping did uh today's a haunted hotels or spooky
hotels episode but I think what you saw in the title you were like wait wait wait what hold on what false advertising
the Oliver House murders I thought you said yep did that didn't hear that this is spooky hotels but spooky in the sense
that lots of murders lots of deaths and uh as a result lots of hauntings on your side does not have any
murders that I could find but it has deaths and Limbs and limbs Fant limb and real limbs Phantom limbs I like that and
real ones isn't that a shins song Yes wow deep cut I love The Shins The Shins are
great yes it's so good all right go go off Queen so I have two and they're in the same they're in Arizona better than
me I have two what's even weirder about this and I this happened in real time and Ash can tell you what really
happened yeah so I found this hotel the Copper Queen and it's in Bisby Arizona y
I was reading about it and I'm like wow what this one's a cool one um a few people had recommended it in our email
and I was like holy [ __ ] you guys rule absolutely I want to cover this and then
as I was doing that I came across the Oliver House Hotel in Arizona I like that sound of that name it's horrifying
to be honest it looks really cool though I want to go let's go and I was like oo
this one's interesting too it was just by happen stance like I was like oh yeah this one's cool too you know what I'll
do a twofer because they're very interesting and I can't pick and so I was looking up like other you know all
this stuff about both of them and I come across a Ghost Adventures episode with you know Zack the only and I was like oh
which one did he go to and I look one episode he went to the Copper Queen and the Oliver House what are the odds and I
was like that's weird I guess not cuz they're in the same state and I think they're not far apart but like still
weird I don't know [ __ ] spooky bro it's so [ __ ] spooky I said that she just wanted to do the Copper Queen
because she is a Copper Queen and I I loved it I really did thought it was funny well let me tell you about the
Copper Queen Another Copper Queen yeah the other one so not the copper let me not tell you about myself but about this
other Copper Queen other Copper Queen uh it was built in 189 in Bisby Arizona and this was after the Phelps
Dodge mining company found that they needed you know some luxurious accommodations to put up prospective
invested investors I almost said investigators those two those two investors into the mine and you know the
corporate Executives they wanted something to like schmoo you know of course only the best for the best
exactly so it was it ended up being finished in 1902 and originally had 73 rooms and finally you know originally
there was only one bathroom per floor oh no yeah honey that's not the best for the best yeah it's on Howell Street
currently and it's apparently the oldest continuously operating hotel in Arizona
wow it's like hundreds of years old that's cool so or 100 over hundred years old yeah um but this whole like this
whole layout changed because eventually the hotel wasn't just for investors and Fancy Pants Executives anymore but
instead it became like a hot and happen in place for anyone coming through to stay in Bisby it was like cool place
yeah so once it started to get to be the place to stay for those outside of just
Fancy Pants investors in the mining company they renovated and put a bathroom in each Suite like a normal
hotel that was [ __ ] smart yeah and this made the 73 rooms turn into 48 cuz obviously they the room to kind of can
join yep uh upgrade to me I agree I'll take it uh also well-known stars and like kind of iconic people have stayed
at this hotel Julia Roberts has stayed there I love her there you go she's my one of my she might be my favorite
actress W I didn't know that about you yeah Oh Aaron Brockovich pretty women pretty woman Runaway Bride the list goes
on the list goes on uh [ __ ] uh drink the juice Shelby yep what is that what oh my God I'm drawing
a blank I don't know no you do you've never seen it I'm sure Dolly Parton jul Roberts [ __ ] magnol magnol oh my God
why was I about to say Green Tomatoes I just like sares maybe it's the same Vibes but I'm like why was I saying that
Fried Green Tomatoes is such a good movie but anyway I do love Julia Roberts yep there you go well she's stayed there
hell yeah Brando has stayed there cool Harry Houdini so pretty cool place damn if you ask me um so that sounds awesome
huh let's talk about what's happened there it does but your face tells me it's not so apparently just to give you
a little idea it's pretty haunted in there uh the furniture moves a lot I like how you said that pretty haunted in
there pretty haunted in there I think they should just hire you to stand outside just go hey pretty haunted in
there doing the thumb the thumb in there like that place reeks of Haunting I've lots of Haunting going on the furniture
moves a lot in particular okay um and with seemingly no explanation like staff has reported that they'll leave a room
in either like the lobby area or one of the rooms or in the bar area and they'll
come back within a minute or two and all the furniture will be completely different like too quick for it to be
somebody [ __ ] with them I kind of love that yeah they well somebody alive [ __ ] with them I should say
somebody's [ __ ] with them so that's interesting that's one of the things a lot of people hear things they hear
footsteps they hear voices a lot of people feel like they get touched tugged at a lot so we're going to talk about a
couple of these specific ghosts because they have specific ghosts at this place and they have actually named rooms after
some of these ghosts that's [ __ ] cool so first one is Julia LOL she was a young woman in her 30s who worked as a
sex worker in the early 1900s and she used the hotel to entertain her clientele specifically she used a room
on the third floor and that room is now named the Julia L room that's iconic like officially it has a plaque made by
the hotel as it should now unfortunately for Julia The Story Goes that she fell in love with a married client
oh no yeah it's not great so she decided to tell him she was being a brave [ __ ]
and she was like I'm going to tell this man you know he's coming to see me that's the thing maybe shoot your shot
Juliet yeah exactly and he didn't return the feelings unfortunately and he apparently wasn't very nice about
telling her that he didn't return the feelings what a douche so she was very distraught and this is really sad but
she ended up taking her own life by hanging and she either did it in or just outside of her room that's so sad now
apparently Julia now in the afterlife is still very active you'll smell perfume around her spirit she has a very nice
perfume love that uh she can be seen on the second and third floors and man she is busy she can be seen sometimes
dancing at the bottom of staircases TW which I love and she'll actively flirt with male guests she finds attractive oh
honey she's having a good time in the afterlife she'll try to seduce them by whispering in their ears or stroking
their legs or feet hey there hey there big guy and she can also be seen sometimes people will wake
up this is my favorite what she she people will wake up and see her seductively dancing at the end of their
bed stop it what a sassy Queen just throw an at at the end of the bed that's Julia I love it that's Julia
I feel like she doesn't throw ass I feel like she kind of like like like that you know you know
she's definitely Slinky as hell she's very demor very mind very mindful very cutesy cuty very Slinky
Slinky but we love a Julia she's a sassy Queen she's apparently not at all malicious in any way she's not scary in
any way she's a welcome presence well [ __ ] the guy that did her wrong [ __ ] that guy uh the next ghost we have is
Billy Billy Billy is a child ghost oh yeah his story's a little sad but he seems like he's like living it up for
the most part in the afterlife really he was an 8-year-old and he was an 8-year-old son of someone who worked at
the hotel and he was like beloved everyone loved him [Music] there he played in the hotel a lot well
who I don't know exactly who in his life worked there yeah but he was there a lot
so he played a lot when day he was going swimming in the San Pedro River nearby and the current overtook him and he
drowned oh God and it absolutely devastated everyone at the hotel yeah but Billy didn't leave he said not today
he said I love playing here not now not never he can be seen all around the hotel most often by children because in
fact adults can't see him at all wow only children can see him that's cool what a [ __ ] superpower that is but he
but adults can hear him or they can feel him when he touches them that's spooky he likes to tug on clothing like a
little kid or tap people from like a child's height like gets their attention yeah like a tap tap like um one of the
like a bartender there was saying that like while she was behind the bar she her clothing was tugged so hard that she
assumed a little kid was behind her wow and when she turned around he wasn't there but according to phoenic ghosts
Billy likes to befriend children and there have been many reports of guests saying that their will try to introduce
them to their new friend Billy oh but no one's there that's [ __ ] horrifying and adorable just going to say I would
[ __ ] my pants and also think that is the cutest thing ever I'd say I'm so excited
for your new friend but he's got to go soon that's so lovely you should bring him to the light you should bring him to
the light tell him if he sees it go towards it go towards it baby but Billy is known to play around the hotel lobby
he also likes to move furniture in the rooms and other things so maybe it's him he's also likes to move guests
belongings around oh he's a little jok he's a very much a jokester he likes to take stuff to animals and put them in
other locations that's cute he's probably just playing with them yeah he is he also likes to play with people's
shoes so he will misplace people's shoes a lot many guests will come down to the
front desk and say I don't know where my shoes went that's so funny it's Billy like putting them in random spots uh
objects will also float sometimes like at child level where it looks like a child is holding them see we've
experienced like some really cool [ __ ] I would say like ever since we've been paranormal investigating with our
brothers girls ghost cult and coven yes uh Sabrina and Karan what's up but we've
never seen an object floating but you know what I'm trying to see that it's going to happen oh absolutely I can't
wait I Feel It In My Bones I can't wait and often people hear a little boy's giggle oh or a little boy's voice saying
things like they can hear clearly a little boy's voice and this is the saddest part though if you are
especially there's a room that's called Billy's room oh and if you're in Billy's
room if you run a shower or a bath people say you will sometimes hear him crying or whimpering because he's like
traumatized by the running water that just made me so sad and yes oh and they actually did it on Ghost Adventures
which I know I'm like putting I'm not putting stock in like all these shows no but I'm just saying like but that's a
great [ __ ] interesting it's a fun these are fun shows I also of um Ghost Hunters Ghost Hunters International or
Ghost Hunters regular on yeah like Taps right Taps that's the one um CU they're they're so fun this time of year too oh
they're so fun this time of year but they did the water thing and they did capture like a strange EVP that sounded
like a child but you people should like tell him before they're going to run a bath I know just be like nothing bad's
going to happen H out of the bathroom yeah it's not going to happen don't worry um and the last one that people
see a lot is a man in a top hat oh that's I don't I don't love that well the man is not named he doesn't have a
name they don't know where he comes from but he appears in a top hat and a black
cape which makes me think of Jack the Ripper retweet but his presence is not as ominous as Jack the Ripper apparently
that's good he's by all accounts pretty chill okay uh he's always seen smoking a
cigar [ __ ] living and you can smell a cigar when he's around sometimes I like the smell of cigar and sometimes I don't
me too so it it depends on the day yeah toss up he's often seen on the fourth floor near
room 409 um he feels like he kind of rules a little bit I don't know he's fancy he
just smoking a cigar yeah he's got like a sexy mysterious Vibe and he just seems
like he's hanging yeah and people say he hangs a lot in like dark areas so they get freaked out by him but I was like I
don't know maybe he just doesn't want to be perceived you know perhaps like it's
maybe he's just like I I'm in here cuz I don't want you to see me it is I just want to smoke my cigar piece it's giving
a little bit like sleep paralysis demon absolutely like the hatman yes yeah but if my sleep paralysis demon was smoking
a cigar you might have a better relationship cuz I would think that's hilarious see it it change the way I saw
it it depends on the situation you know what I mean I feel like it would make the situation funnier though to me
possibly you know like right now sleep paralysis is a horrifying thing for me yeah because it's there's nothing cookie
or Camp about it in any way but like if he's smoking a cigar just twitched did yes you said paralysis is a lot for me
Twitch twitch I'm very tired I didn't sleep all last night neither of us did so badad yeah but I think it would be
much funnier if he was just like had a cigar and he was just like puffing a cigar in my room I'd be like you just
chilling hello what are you doing let me know if that happens I will cuz maybe it
will now have you had sleep paralysis in a while I have recently I just knocked on wood to make
sure I don't invite that into my life girl that's from Target that's not knock your walls that's not that's from Target
too no she knock the walls where's the wood where's the wood someone knock on wood uh if you're listening will you
knock on wood maybe the bookshelf no may I tried to but she told me no that's that's some kind of I don't know all
right well my next one let's hope we'll all just hope together but my next one so that was the copper Queen okay that
was you and the Copper Queen me and the Copper Queen the next one is the Oliver house which this is where it all it gets
crazy really goes down it pops off like we're going down but now we're going down uhoh uh so this is another mining
Hotel check that out yeah this one was built in 1908 by Edith Oliver and Henry Oliver who was an oil tycoon and his
wife okay uh they also wanted a a place that they could house big investors and Big Wigs who doesn't a place of style a
place of class you know Swag if you will exactly and all was well and fine and eventually it even tracked the miners
who would stay there for a long period of time basically becoming borders so it became like a boarding house for the
miners eventually um it's got a spooky ass exterior really oh I'm going to look it up which I think it knows that like
the Oliver House knows that there's this like concrete walkway Bridge type thing
that leads to it and it's like all overgrown like bushes and stuff that lead you into it it's like a real
experience but I think the um the is it the Copper Queen or is it this one I think it's the Oliver house that has a
little ghost on its it might be the Copper Queen one of them has a little ghost on its sign so it kind of It kind
of like leans into the fact that it's very haunted I don't see one on the Oliver House the Oliver house looks like
you could literally pluck it out of there and put it into Nola yeah it really does the Copper Queen the Copper
Queen might be the one that has little ghosties on it sign which is very cute I don't see it there so let's get
into the Oliver House in 1920 Nathaniel Nat Anderson was one of The Lodgers staying at the Oliver house
he was a minor uh he was working in the local mine obviously that's what miners do miners just study mining you know he
was known to be a pretty chill fellow but his personal life was a little bit uh messy oh he borrowed a lot of money
oh money couldn't repay and he also had a habit of like sleeping with other people's wives oh you're going to piss a
lot of people off with those with those character those Hobbies I was I was in habits and hobbies and I
put habbies gr uh gr so he was having a very torid affair with a woman during this time okay and oops it happened to
be the wife of a man he owed a lot of money to so he combined his Hobbies here what are you doing which is a bad
idea Nate a bad idea because this man found out where Nate was staying and he barged into the room at the hotel shot
Nate between the eyes and then again in the back twice [ __ ] yes he was found at
the top of the stairs near room 13 ooh spooky yeah he got now this guy who shot him got away with it because he covered
it up by staging a robbery in another room and then running the [ __ ] out of there still hasn't been caught to this
day whoa and this was in the 20s yeah that's crazy in the 20s uh yeah so that's a little scary and we'll talk
about a little bit more about you know the some of the ghosts that have come out of these things yeah like um guess
who will stay in room 13 we'll hear footsteps sometimes they'll see Nate like full body Apparition Nate I don't
want to see that and they always feel like they're being watched in that room and the hotel there's actual like copies
of Nate's death certificate so this is like a real thing on the death certificate it says cause of death
pistol shot to the forehead [ __ ] like it says it right there there's articles about the event I found one from the
tombstone Epitaph and part of it says an inquest yesterday morning shed little or
no light on the murder the coroner's jury gave a verdict of death from gunshot wounds at the hands of an
unknown person following the shooting both Mrs Richard Davis the land lady this is of the Oliver House
and a rumor saw a man leaving the place they did not see him clearly enough to describe him the theft of money and a
watch from K Ross's room a short time prior to the shooting remains a puzzling feature of the crime the weight of
evidence against the theory that the man who entered Ross's room is the same man
that shot Anderson is almost overwhelming on the other hand everything points to the crime as being
an act of a man who had some personal score to settle with Anderson sounds like it a score of violent hatred before
firing shirt the third shot into the prostate man's back that means he was like down on the ground okay his as
salent cursed him with a vile epithet what which like damn and it says there's a wooden foot Bridge across the
canyon leading to the front of the of the house a nearby neighbor said that before the shooting a scuffle was heard
on the bridge and a woman screamed the police think that the robbery of K Ross's room might have been a
coincidence or might have been done with the object of throwing them off the trail to make it seem as if it was the
Act of common thiefs trying to escape so they were on to this [ __ ] they were a
little bit on to this [ __ ] but they could never find them [Music] damn which is crazy now according to
like a few websites there's a local DJ that took a bet for $100 it was like a whole thing it was like on a radio show
or something like a radio DJ okay and he said he'd for 100 bucks he'd go stay in
the Nate Anderson room I would need more money than that well and he was the way
reason was he was like I don't believe in ghosts I think this is [ __ ] I'm going to prove it all to you that's
always the beginning of a wild experience he said when he went into the room he saw Nate's ghost standing in
that room staring right the [ __ ] at him immediately he immediately went back to
the front desk handed them back his key and said I don't want $100 he literally gave it back he said
that is quite all right folks I'm a Believer he's like you know what you got it like no not doing that uh so there's
so there was that that murder and that is confirmed in 1932 there was a literal mass murder at
the Oliver house where 12 people were killed holy [ __ ] so a local police deputy found out his wife was having an
affair Oh see it's always Affairs there's a lot of Affairs in the Oliver house like it's wild maybe it's like
yeah something in the air I don't know but he tracked her and her Paramore to the Oliver house where he found them in
what was referred to as the Blue Room oh um I was like sounds sassy sounds the blue R sounds kind of nice yeah he shot
them both in the head in bed and then systematically walked through the hotel killing 10 more people in the process
why did he kill a bunch of I mean why do you kill anybody very angry damn only ended when he turned the gun on himself
oh wow yeah so so I guess it was 13 people um but guests who stay in the Blue Room are treated to a really
[ __ ] heavy Vibe they say like right away it feels dark it feels Sinister it feels ominous in there most of them say
um also people hear cries for help and screams a lot of people hear no being screamed oh staff also find the
furniture moved almost every time they clean that room uh and which is just but I think
Furniture yeah and I think it's the vibe like the vibe really [ __ ] people up in
that room um but in 1986 this um the Oliver house was bought by Dennis shran who turned it into a bed and breakfast
and it's now an adults only hotel and referred to as your haunt away from home let's [ __ ] go so it is this one that
has like a little ghost on one of the signs not maybe it's not these sign but it's like one of the signs has like a
little ghosty on it and it's cute I want to go to that and even now there is a guest book for guests to share their
stays and like what they experience I always love that like the one at the Lizzy bord house Li bordon house that
was so scary that one is [ __ ] terrifying that's when we got all kinds of activity happening um and it is full
of ghost experiences and there specifically is mentioned that there's a portal in one of the rims like several
people said that um they say it's on the bed what and people feel like their limbs fall asleep and they're like
touched they're pulled they smell things they hear things um and actually in that
same like Ghost Adventures episode they caught a scream on on EVP that was actually really scary are you serious
and yeah when they asked who whoever it was why they were screaming the EVP answered I'm angry and it was like a
very scary voice fair enough so I mean why not you know like why are you screaming I'm angry scream out okay sir
thank you bye that's all we're going to pack up now but that is the Copper Queen
in the Oliver House wow those are freaking cuckoo they were very interesting ones I could have read about
those all day um to be honest I could have listened to them all day because what the [ __ ] cuz what the [ __ ] scary
well I'm taking you to Savannah because you know how haunted Savannah is and we're going to talk about the Marshall
House Hotel oo the Marshall hotel which was built all the way back in 1851 oh hell yeah is one of Savannah's
oldest hotels and is currently the oldest operating hotel that Savannah has wow it was named after Molly Magdalene
lever Marshall what a name I know four names so you know she's legit she came from a really prominent family in
Savannah and she inherited a lot of Moola Moola when her parents passed away get a girl but luckily it seems like
they raised her right because she was known to be a fil of Phil I can never say this word philanthropic yes she was
known to be a philanthropist in the area she felt like the city just like in your
story needed some kind of accommodations for visitors somewhere nice to stay and
that's where she came up with the idea for a beautiful hotel in the shopping district that could do just that smart
she said go shopping stay here now she had in inherited some land from her father and felt like it would be the
perfect spot to build a hotel on let's go girl sitting on current day East Bron Street I think that's how you say that
the hotel opened its doors in 1851 and many architectural historians believe that it's actually the finest structure
she ever built because she also built the Mary Marshall row on uh East ogal Thorp Avenue of course yes about four or
five four or five years after the Marshall house and then she also built the Mary Marshall houses which were
built in 1859 damn yes lots of Mary Marshall properties in the area she really went
for it she did now even though the name would make you think that the Marshal House Hotel had you know maybe been an
actual home at one point it it never was but it did serve as a boarding house and
a hospital during the Civil War oh damn and as a hospital during two yellow fever epidemics so many hotels were
civil war hospitals so many just like damn especially in the South like obviously uh it seems like a lot of the
hauntings obviously come from the time when the hotel was used to hospitalize soldiers oh yeah I think at first it was
actually just for Union Soldiers and then it was like any Soldier cuz people were getting so injured but one of the
main hauntings and this is [ __ ] terrifying one of the main hauntings people report is running into a man in
the lobby who is holding his own severed arm and begging for help or Like a Surgeon to sew it back
on what do you do run in that situation but then so far away you're like this poor guy I know like he's just he just
wants to be fixed I didn't read anybody who had like actually found a doctor for
him do you just grab your cell phone and be like 91 911 there's a man with no arm
he's translucent uh can you help him a little Misty that's the thing like fgy Little
Misty how do you help them I feel bad I do too but guests have also reported waking up in the middle of the night
with their arm outstretched like from their bedside and having the Sensation that somebody's touching like their
lower arm are or their wrist like a nurse working on them or checking their pulse I do not consent there have also
been reports of people feeling like somebody's touching their forehead like for a fever when like when they're
laying in bed oh no thank you yeah now one of the perks of the hotel is that there are of course ghost tours and
there's also a museum with like a ton of artifacts from the time um so you can join the ghost tours and uh the tour
includes seeing the old operating room from when it was a hospital that's cool and people who have joined these tours
report seeing doctors working on patients and even shut up people who don't even go on the tour have said that
they've seen doctors like rushing through the hallway oh my God I would love that and asked like the front desk
or somebody like oh is something going on and they're like oh no like that's the ghost yeah oh that's just a ghost
yeah sorry about that and people have also reported seeing other soldiers walking around with missing
limbs yeah and there's also reports of another man walking around asking people if they've seen his arm a mhm another
man without an arm like I'm sorry everybody it's very sad yeah now this is [ __ ] crazy in the late I think it was
there the reports vary between like 1996 and 1999 I saw both so I said in the late
1990s there was a major renovation and the workers were redoing some of the floors in the hotel and on the ground
floor where the surgery room used to be they found skeletal remains when they dug the floors up of course they did and
all the remains were believed to be amputated limbs what isn't that [ __ ] crazy so
they were just burying disembodied limbs I guess so oh and now all these people are just
walking around looking for him that's the thing and like then they found them but I don't know what they ended up
doing with them because still people are looking for their limbs yeah to this day
guests in rooms uh 414 314 and 214 which are said to be among the most haunted rooms they say that they'll get a whiff
of foul odors ooh One account I found on ghost City Tour said when they were first renovating the hotel and opening
it in 1999 three rooms had foul smells and bad vibes so overpowering that the staff and workers could not stay in in
them long enough to get anything done rooms 214 314 and 414 414 being the worst and I stink I think it's still
very active today what's funny is you just said I stink it first kind of worked it kind of worked and to
elaborate on that this person said they tried every deodorizer they could get a hold of and nothing worked finally they
had a prayer SL blessing in those rooms and the smell and Vibes relented only with 414 still having the persisting
odor and Vibes staff is said to play gospel music in that room when they're cleaning it because that's the only
thing that keeps the Vibes and odor at shut up but also imagine how [ __ ] like if you like gospel music I'm not
making fun of it or anything it just personally creeps me out I feel like that would just add to the to the scary
Vibes well that's the thing when it's like when scary things are a foot and you hear gospel music it just makes it
scary cuz it's such a like a justos of things yes you know like it's two very dichotomous feelings of like like gospel
music is supposed to uplift people and make them feel safe and then this room is [ __ ] terrifying and a ghost might
pop out music is playing and it's like oh my Lord literally oh my oh my Lord that's it's like when in a horror movie
they play like a kids song or something like that I hate that like I don't I've probably said it on the podcast before
but I [ __ ] hate the sound of kids singing it's one of my biggest [Music] hatreds but even after the ren
there are a lot of the original structures still in the hotel to this day it still has it's original wood
floors original staircases fireplaces brick walls so The Vibes pretty much all of the doors are
the original doors damn and even some artwork from way back in the day one of the original paintings um is a portrait
of Mary Marshall herself in the lobby and it was painted around 1830 and there's a story of a guest and his
younger daughter checking out and the L little girl saw the painting and grabbed
her dad and was like oh I saw that lady in the hallway like while we were staying here shut up and he was like
cool glad we're checking out freaky that's so [ __ ] up imagine your kid just being like Oh I saw that
lady and you're like saw that lady from the 1830s in the hall oh [ __ ] but other
guests have reported seeing her too um and other spooky happenings include door knobs jiggling in the middle of the
night toilets overflowing I would [ __ ] hate that cuz I would assume it's like a a live person trying to come
into my room also I'd be screwed because whenever I stay at a hotel I put a um alarm in front of the door like
literally has yeah constantly but uh toilets overflow for no reason people hear disembodied voices especially
children's voices and they hear like children's activities specifically on the fourth floor guests who are staying
there have heard kids running up and down the Halls at all hours of the night they hear like rubber rubber balls
bouncing or they're uh they'll hear like marbles like kids playing with marbles and they'll call down to the front desk
to be like hey like there's a loud family and there's like like the front desk worker will be like there's no kids
on the floor tonight there's a loud family and they're like there's not in the hway there's not even a quiet family
there's no family there's actually no family staying on the floor or people will stick their heads out into the hall
and see nothing when they like just heard something out there some guests also have woken up in the morning with
small bite marks on their arms no so like watch out cuz the kids in this hotel happen to be Wy they're biting you
one little girl she was staying there with her mom on the third floor and I guess she was like taking a bath and she
started screaming and ran out of the bathroom and when her mom asked what was wrong she showed her her arm and there
was a bite mark on it like a little bite mark no I want to like throw hands at this
don't keep biting my kidsight yeah you bite food you don't bite people somebody better teach you that that's the thing
yeah you [ __ ] with a kid like ghost kid or not that's messed up that's messed up
but when the mom was like what happened she said that the little boy in the bathroom had done that to her no so the
mom goes into the bathroom and takes a peek around and she about to [ __ ] [ __ ]
up if there's a little boy biting her K she was like in a in a y iata kind of why I but there was no one tub OT
there's no one to OT now lights also flicker or dim and explicitly uh hello hello in explicably faucets turn off and
on on their own um and then apparently author uh Joel Chandler Harris had a room there that he stayed in quite uh
quite often and guess who stay in that room can hear a typewriter still clicking stop which I thought that was
pretty cool also Electronics will turn on and off by themselves like your phone will turn off and then on again and
guess what Elena what one of our very own listeners stayed at the Marshall House Hotel and wrote In A Tale to share
about her and her husband's scary ass experience tell me all right so this is um let me make sure I can say your name
I think I can it's misty misty so hello beautiful souls I wanted to share my husbands and myself recent trip to
Savannah Georgia I really enjoy watching ghost shows really anything paranormal my husband always thought they were
ridiculous which makes this even better we decided to stay in the Marshall house
which was built in 1851 it was used as a hospital during the yellow fever epidemic and in the mid 1800s as a Union
Hospital during the Civil War they still have many artifacts and things still on
display throughout the hotel but on to the story of course we were put on the fourth floor which is reported to have
the most activity we were put in room 409 we go to our room and my husband turns on the light that's sitting on the
desk and the light starts to flicker slightly before it starts to cut off off and on which could be explained by
faulty wiring I guess sure that was the first day nothing more happened that day
the next morning he went out to get my hairbrush for me out of the car on his way back in he got into the elevator
pushed the button to the flo fourth floor but when the doors opened he was on the basement level and nobody was
waiting for the elevator oh damn so the door closes and takes him to the fourth floor which we joked about the day
before that we would like to go down and see down to the basement and see if it was that creepy the whole time he has
the hairbrush deep in his coat pocket when he gets back to the room I asked for the hairbrush it's gone even though
he had just checked to make sure it was there when he was walking into the door after searching the room he went back
out to the uh back out to the hall and there was the hairbrush in the middle of the hallway what the [ __ ] as we were
preparing to leave the room he couldn't find his key card we looked through bags
pulled the sheets off the bed double checked his pockets the key card was nowhere to be found we go to breakfast
and come back to look again he starts moving everything around he lifts the silver tray that has the heavy silver
ice bucket on it and his key card is sitting in the center under the silver tray what like why would that happen
yeah this next one is a little strange but he is very particular about his socks and things in his shoes he will
not even wear two different kinds of socks we had walked about two blocks to River Street and had been going in the
shops etc for about 2 hours when we decided to sh to stop for a coffee as we were walking out he said he needed to
stop because something was in a shoe when he took his shoe off he had a nickel in it considering we pay for
everything with our debit/credit card and he's particular about if his shoes and he's particular about his shoes that
was very strange I thought it was great these strange things happening to him since he's so skeptical about all these
type of things apparently I should have kept my opinion to myself that night after dinner I went to get the ice out
of the machine down the hall from the room as I was walking back I felt like I was being followed and really wanted to
rush back to the room the rest of the night I was nervous and decided to sleep with the TV on later I was woke looking
up to what sounded like my husband getting uh ice from the bucket into a cup I thought it was him until I heard
him snoring next to me oh no me being the brave person I am I closed my eyes as tight as I could to pretend that I
was not even there then I noticed that the TV had also been turned off as well and I kept getting really bad cold
chills the room was quite warm so that didn't make sense but thank goodness we were leaving the next morning of course
I asked the husband if he cut the TV off during the night and he said no he hadn't it was all fun in games when
things were happening to him but my tune changed when it was my turn maybe the talking I heard in the hall and the door
slamming was not actually other people staying there of course I Googled room 409 when I got home and found a video of
something similar to the light thing that happened to somebody else staying in that room we've been back home a week
with nothing weird ever taking place no strange Vibes at our house we live on S Acres away from the road at 3:30 this
morning our two Chihuahua start barking waking both of us up I heard someone say
hush sass the dog's name is Sassy but we call her SASS and she stopped barking immediately this is the first time this
has happened and everybody else was in bed as I was driving up the driveway to take my son and nephew to school the
next morning my nephew screamed what is that after slamming on the brakes I asked what he saw and he said nothing I
asked again and he said he saw a woman in a white gown with long black hair standing next to the creek by the trees
no I told him it was probably just a tree you know because most trees look like the creepy girl from The Ring yeah
the tree with hair you know yeah you know my husband has also mentioned something coming home with us since he
keeps getting random cold chills again being the brave person I am I'm hoping like crazy something didn't decide to
have a vacation in our home like we did theirs sorry if this is long and all over the place maybe if I have time
again I can share the story about my oldest son uh son's imaginary great uncle boo boo that my brother ended up
seeing and describing the very same thing my son did several years later absolutely love your show stay safe and
continue to be your wonderfully weird selves misty misty like did she bring one of the ghosties home with her
brought a lady home with you you brought a lady and I didn't even hear about a lady in white at this hotel that's cuz
she took her home with her she's not there anymore she not there oh no Misty but that is the Marshall House Hotel in
Misty's experience you know what's funny Misty mentioned room 409 mhm there a room 409 is where the man in the top hat
is seen in your story in the Copper Queen that's weird that's nuts oh my goodness wow spooky that is spooky
