Strange Deranged Beyond Insane
When We Accidentally Checked Into a Twilight Zone, Part 1 with Theresa!
What began as a routine trip to Chicago for a hair convention transformed into something far more unsettling when Theresa and Melissa checked into the Embassy Suites by Hilton Chicago O'Hare in Rosemont. Neither was prepared for the bizarre reality distortion they were about to experience.
The hotel itself defied logic—a beautiful modern lobby connected to hallways that mirrored "The Shining," complete with identical carpeting and an eerie silence that shouldn't have been possible. Despite being steps away from a bustling hotel bar, the sound would completely disappear once you turned the corner. How could a packed hotel during a major convention remain so eerily quiet in its corridors?
Most disturbing was the unexplainable time loss. Sitting in their room for what felt like minutes, they'd suddenly discover hours had vanished. Plans to visit a nearby cemetery repeatedly fell through as time seemed to slip away without explanation. The hotel staff moved through the building like automatons—expressionless, never greeting guests, staring straight ahead as if not fully present in reality.
Theresa repeatedly spotted a mysterious older man with a bandage over his eye walking back and forth outside the hotel, but strangely, Melissa never saw him despite being right there. The elevators transported them to what felt like different dimensions of the building, with people appearing and vanishing in ways that defied explanation. Both women experienced personality changes—becoming irritable, confused, and mentally foggy throughout the stay.
Upon returning home and researching, they discovered the hotel is reportedly one of Chicago's most haunted locations, with numerous guests reporting similar phenomena—time distortions, strange figures, and a sense of disorientation. Was it a paranormal experience, a glitch in reality, or something else entirely? The mystery remains unsolved, but the experience has left an indelible mark on both women.
Have you stayed at a location where reality seemed to bend? We'd love to hear your stories at GhostSisters2124@gmail.com.
Hey everyone. It's your host, melissa, at Strange, strange Beyond Insane Podcast, and tonight I have another guest on, teresa. She's been on quite a few times with her kids and we're going to talk about one of our recent stays in Chicago. Alright, teresa, take it away.
Speaker 2:Hey everyone. Okay, so I don't even know where to start. To be honest with you, so much happened in such a short time.
Speaker 1:I just want to start with her saying I found this bad-ass hotel.
Speaker 2:Oh, that's how you want me to start. Okay, I found this bad-ass hotel. Honestly, I didn't know my daughter's in a hair. She was in a hair show cause she's in cosmetology. So to make up hours for a class, she to go to Chicago. So I, without doing any research, picked the closest hotel that I could possibly find and I booked it. So we took this trip to Chicago without knowing anything about this hotel, without even knowing the area at all, and we get there and that's when just the crazy shit started happening this was Rosemont Chicago, right?
Speaker 1:Yes, okay, rosemont Chicago, and it's like in the airport part.
Speaker 2:Yeah, there's nothing but like hotels and restaurants around that area.
Speaker 1:The DoorDash experience.
Speaker 2:Oh God, that DoorDash experience that's crazy.
Speaker 1:It put me in the fucking spiral, a downward spiral. Like that's crazy.
Speaker 2:it put me in the fucking spiral, a downward spiral, but that's not even the weirdest thing that happened that weekend, though no, no, of course my fat ass is thinking about pizza. So the pizza yeah, the chicago pizza, and it unfortunately wasn't even that good okay, okay.
Speaker 1:Where do you want to start at?
Speaker 2:well, I'm trying to think back to the beginning. So much stuff happened in that little bit of time. Okay, we originally wanted to go see that clown cemetery, what was it called?
Speaker 1:again, oh shit, I have to pull it up, but it's where all the clowns died in the early 1900s, right?
Speaker 2:Yeah well, that was supposed to be the spookiest part of the weekend, but that really wasn't the spookiest part of our weekend. The whole experience was like fucking stepping into the twilight zone. I felt like we time warped, we just time lapsed and it was just the whole thing was off, like I felt off you and I got bitchy with each other.
Speaker 1:It was just really really fucking weird the whole entire time we would like laugh after, and then we'd be like one of us would be like what time is it? And then I feel, or you'd be, like it's already three o'clock.
Speaker 2:I'm like wait, it was just 10 o'clock and you're like, when I went online I looked up some of the reviews and stuff and everybody seemed to be bitching about these elevators, how slow they were, how just how just old and outdated they were. For one, I absolutely love this hotel. Walking in there, I'm like, wow, this is nice, it is yeah, it was nice. So the elevators were weird. But when you stepped on those elevators it was like you're walking into a time warp.
Speaker 1:Yes, okay. So let's start off with the front, which is not really the front of the hotel. It is beautiful, gorgeous. And then to the left is like this newer urban restaurant, which doesn't make sense, okay. And then to the right is a long gated hallway that is actually the main entrance that nobody, nobody fucking hangs out in. But, yeah, it is completely different from the hotel with some creepy ass statue. Okay, you guys, who's ever watched the show archive 81 on Netflix? It's, I'm Teresa's going to watch it tonight. This, this hotel, is that from that fucking show, and I can't say too much. I don't want to ruin it for her, but I'm waiting to get a call tomorrow. I'll be like holy shit, anyways.
Speaker 2:Oh no, I'm texting you tonight. After I watch it I'd be like, oh my God.
Speaker 1:I think I'm going to start watching it again too.
Speaker 2:Okay, so, first off, we get to the hotel and we walk in there. Well, I walked in there. Melissa went and parked the truck because she had to park in a parking garage like across the street. So me and my daughter went up to the hotel room and Melissa decides she's going to come back in and she goes down this different hallway. She calls me freaking out. She's like oh my God, I think I just walked in the Shining. I'm in the Shining, I'm like what are you talking about? And she started facetiming me.
Speaker 2:There's this whole separate hallway that literally looks like the movie the shining same carpet, same vibes, everything. And it was so weird because if you walk down this hallway, there's like nobody. Now, mind you, there's a hair show going on. The whole entire hotel was packed out. There's nobody in this hallway, which I thought was just bizarre, like I couldn't get over it. And I kept telling melissa I'm like how come there's nobody down this hallway? Which I thought was just bizarre, Like I couldn't get over it. And I kept telling Melissa I'm like how come there's nobody down this hallway? So we decided to do some ghost hunting later on in the night in this hallway because there's nobody there. But if you walk down this hallway and not even 30 feet no, not even what 10 feet Around the corner is this bar where all these people go to hang out, because there's nothing around there but hotels and restaurants. So a lot of people are going to that hotel just to go to that bar alone.
Speaker 1:And it wasn't even like a big bar.
Speaker 2:No, but it was loud and it was crazy. There was tons of people in that entryway, remember, we're getting upset. We're like damn, there's so many people here, man. And then you walk around the hall just not even a whole second later and it's completely dead silence. Nobody hung out, nobody, but it was silent. You couldn't even hear the people at the bar.
Speaker 1:No, it was like a whole different. Like time we're in, like we, it was a time loop.
Speaker 2:Not to sound like one of those weird psycho people, but I swear it's like everybody was just dead there.
Speaker 1:Yes, yes, yes, okay, now tell them about the people at the counter each day.
Speaker 2:Oh, they're wonderful peachy personalities. Oh, they were so welcoming and inviting. They had no personalities.
Speaker 1:They didn't even say hi by hey, how's your state? It's like they were dead, like they literally were just staring out the front door, like the front doors, like they didn't even like I don't even think they flinched, or like really had any facial expressions.
Speaker 2:it was very weird no, and that's the only hotel that I've ever stayed in and I know you travel more than I do that you've ever stayed in, where they don't greet you, they don't smile, they don't even look. No, they don't even, weren't even looking at you.
Speaker 1:they don't smile, they don't even look. No, they don't even. These people aren't even looking at you. They don't even like help you with like the carts, like there's. I'm like what did I say to her? I go, well, where are all the carts at you know? And she's like, well, whatever's down here is down here. If not, then you don't get a cart. I'm like what?
Speaker 2:Yeah, I kept getting lost in the hallway. I know it sounds funny, but I was getting pissed Like which way do I fucking turn? And all the hallways are the same. And that's the thing too for a packed out hotel. You never, ever, heard anybody in that hotel or seen anybody in the hallways. Like every time I walked down there it was completely vacant. There was nobody around.
Speaker 1:Okay, now we get up to the hotel, like the actual hotel rooms, it was a completely different atmosphere. Like this hotel does not make sense. It's like they pieced all these like pieces together. It's like the atmosphere is so wacky wonky. So I sent a picture to Paul and he's like, oh, no shit, that looks like the barracks. And I'm like, oh my God, it does look like the barracks in the military Like. It looked like we were in like a villa like and we were outside, but we weren't outside. It's so weird.
Speaker 2:And I sent a picture to my son and he's like mom, that looks like a video game. I'm like what are you talking about? He's like no, I'm serious. And then he sent me that picture back. Remember I showed you it looked like that fucking video game.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, and that's like a creepy game.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it is, and he's like, that creeps me out. Well, shit, now that creeps me out too. Thanks, son.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and the elevators. But this hotel was like huge, it was like had all these different wings, but the elevators were from like the 1980s and they were like really ghetto and like broken down and it actually. No, I think they were from like the 60s. But Teresa looked up when it was built and you said it was built in the 80s, right right, but see, I think it was rebuilt.
Speaker 2:It had to have been, but there's not so much information on that hotel. But I did go onto some website and I wish I would have screenshotted it because I can't find it now where it did say that was rated like the second most haunted hotel.
Speaker 1:We had no idea. She had no idea, no clue. She did not like try to find a haunted place. We just wanted to be close to her daughter, natalie. Try to find a haunted place. We just wanted to be close to her daughter, natalie. Obviously, natalie was going to have to walk back and forth to the Donald.
Speaker 2:What is it called Donald Staples Center? I don't even honestly remember Like I'm trying to think back on all these details and it's like foggy to me.
Speaker 1:Okay. So as a hairstylist, I'm going to step in and say this. I don't know if it's the time that we're in, whatever. Okay For one. When I used to go to hear shows when I, you know, a long time ago, the dinosaur ages um everybody was like dressed up.
Speaker 1:You know we would drink well back then. You know we were poor, because I mean people, the kids now they make like $20 an hour. Um, we would get like box wine. You know we weren't of age, I mean I was 18 when I started going to beauty school. So we, like you were drunk, you were stoned, you looked good, you were woohoo, hoorah, Like hair show. These bitches were dead, I'm telling you. I kept telling Teresa. I'm like why does their hair not look good? Like I felt like I was in fucking 2002. Like people had like Kelly Clarkson hair when she was on American Idol. I was like what is happening? Like nobody had like good hair. No one was like smiling, like people were just eating and like sitting there in like the cafeteria part and like they were walking across the street back and forth. Nobody like really seemed like they had a good fucking time and nobody was like dressed to like be at a hair show.
Speaker 2:No, that is weird. The whole experience was weird. Maybe we did lapse back to 2002.
Speaker 1:It was like it was tripping me out, and then Teresa kept seeing this guy oh, yeah, that guy, okay. Then Teresa kept seeing this guy oh, yeah, that guy. Okay, tell them about this guy, because I never once seen this guy. And Teresa says that she said it to me like two or three times, and I don't even remember her talking about this yeah, what he stood out to me is this weird, because, okay, nowadays you don't see people wearing trench coats anymore.
Speaker 2:You just don't see that. I mean, I don't, I don't know about anybody else, but that's kind of random. So this man, and what caught my attention is okay. The first time I saw him I was standing outside. I was actually waiting for you to go get the truck. We had all of our stuff on that little push cart thing and I was waiting for you and you were going to go back and pick me up. He walked past me and I'm like, oh, I'm sorry, because I thought I was in his way and he didn't say nothing to me. He just kept going. His hands were balled up on his side and he had a bandage over his eye. He was an older man, he had glasses on, but the bandage thing caught my eye too. I'm like, okay, that's weird. And he just walked right past it and say a word Okay, fine, so I'm standing there to go to the parking garage, get the truck and come back and get me.
Speaker 2:He must have walked back and forth about five different times. I'm like, what the hell? So then we left and we went to that little antique store and then we had to come back to pick my daughter up from the show and we pulled up in front of the hotel to pick her up and well, that's when you got that fucking door dash dude. Your truck was parked one way, the door dash guy was parked right in front of your truck the other way. And that guy came walking out again and walked right in front of the truck and I'm like Melissa, melissa, there's that guy and you're like what guy? And then later on I brought it back up to you and you're like what guy? And then later on I brought it back up to you. Know, like an incidental guy. You're like, I don't even remember you saying that to me.
Speaker 1:Well, yeah, it was probably because you're about ready to rip that dude's head off because he was being an asshole well, he was like mad that I parked there, but I was trying to leave the outside, the left part, open for, like the shuttle buses, because it was really only only one way yeah, but that wasn't even the weirdest fucking uber driver experience there either.
Speaker 2:We ordered this chicago style pizza. Tell sir, tell him the story about that okay.
Speaker 1:So we ordered this fucking pizza and I'm like, how does that sound? Like like you want to get like real chicago pizza? And she's like sure, whatever. So I knew like right, when I ordered it it was there was like an issue because it was taking forever. And then all of a sudden I finally get this message that it was delivered. And I'm like no the fuck, it wasn't. And I specifically put the room number. Now, if he didn't want to walk up to the room, that's fine, but you at least have to let us know where the fuck you put the pizza. So I'm like, no, it was not delivered. So I call him, he bitch buttons me. I call him again, he bitch buttons me. I call again and he picks up really quick and he was like what did I tell you? He said like stop fucking calling me or something. Yeah, it was fucking rude. And then he hung up. So I text him. I'm like, excuse you, like our pizza was not delivered. He's up. So I text him. I'm like, excuse you, like our pizza was not delivered. He's like it's in the lobby and I'm like, oh, fuck you.
Speaker 1:And I was already getting pissed like going down the elevator Cause I'm like I know something's wrong with this. I I walk up, I'm looking at the person at the desk and I have my handout Like what the fuck? And they're just looking at me. So I go and I grab this pizza while the box feels really wet and I'm like, oh my god. So Chicago style pizza is really deep and it's like obviously very wet because there's it's deep with like a lot of sauce. And as soon as I felt the wetness, I'm like that's fucking sauce. So this guy literally like threw the pizza around, and anybody knows, delivering pizza like you cannot throw it around, it has to be flat. Oh, I was so pissed, dude, I brought it up and I fucking slammed it on the table. I'm like, no, that's fucking shit, fucking $60. What a fucking asshole.
Speaker 2:Okay, well, I for one was having six kids and I don't drive it. I order a lot of fucking DoorDash and I don't know if it's a Michigan thing or if it's different Chicago, but again, you know not to sound like a broken record that hotel was packed out, so those Uber drivers were going back or not? Uber drivers I'm sorry, doordashers were going back and forth constantly. Okay, so we decided we were still hungry because we ate that pizza and it tasted like shit. Neither one of us felt very good, so we ordered braising canes and it's. It was. At what time? Was it 12 o'clock? I mean it was pretty late when we ordered that food.
Speaker 1:And it was the same guy, yeah.
Speaker 2:And I told you like not even seconds before that I'm like what if we get that same asshole again? And we're laughing about it, you know laying in the bed laughing about it. And then you're like, oh my God, I go what you go, it's the same fucking guy. I'm like no way, there is no fucking way. What are the chances of that Busy Chicago, tons and tons of Uber drive. I keep saying fucking Uber Go. And then we get the same damn guy, the one that bitch-buttoned you and told you to basically fuck off, who threw our food. Here's this guy coming again with the food. I'm like, oh my God, you've got to be fucking kidding me. But he was super nice. Yeah, he was really nice.
Speaker 1:I think he was afraid of you when he got out of the car.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I'd be afraid of you, and our food was fine, none yeah, he was all nice, he got out, he handed it right to you. He's like melissa, all happy. I know I'm like oh hey, thank you. Are you sure that's the same guy? Nope, same guy. Oh, my god, that was weird. Just the whole experience was so weird. And then you and I went to that one little lounge room I don't think we were supposed to be in where you took the mints from yeah, I just got done eating those too, like a week ago.
Speaker 1:Oh, you're finally out, huh? Yeah, I'm finally fresh out of the restaurant.
Speaker 2:We should have just went back and took them all. There's no reason not to no, but even thinking about it now, like everything didn't make sense, we would. It was like the energy was just drained. I know I was aggravated and just the energy was just so off the whole entire weekend. And what was only what? Two days really. It felt like a week. Just. There were so many different personalities and so much shit going on there. It was just. It was crazy. We made plans to go out to the cemetery I don't know how many times, but for some reason we didn't end up going Like something would would happen. But we spent a lot of time in that room, but it was like we're sitting there and the next thing you know, hours had gone by. I'm like, wait a minute, that was only like 10 minutes ago yeah, that was a crazy.
Speaker 2:That was crazy, but I can't recall for that time either, like, what did we do in that time?
Speaker 1:no, it was so. Okay, you guys this. The hotel we stayed at was Embassy Suites by Hilton Chicago O'Hare, rosemont. Um, a lot of bad reviews. Um, wow, um, this is a must miss, even if you're staying at a hotel for a convention. The front desk is friendly, but nothing after that. Nothing is good. Rude staff everywhere. Even the bartender at the reception hour was rude. Um, it goes on and on. Wow, you found reviews. Huh yeah, someone says great value for the price. Who cares if the front desk lady is disinterested? You'd probably be disinterested too if this was your job.
Speaker 2:Damn See the staff. Staff was even friendly to them, Nope.
Speaker 1:This guy is saying the hotel itself was extremely disappointing. This place clearly has not been updated in decades. The elevator is so painfully slow, which becomes a major issue when traveling with a larger group. Blah, blah, blah, blah. Oh my god, there's so many um but what about that statue?
Speaker 2:though? It never explained that statue in the middle of the hallway, that was creepy yeah, and I don't know what the fuck that is.
Speaker 1:No, no clue. Embassy Suites Okay, let me look this up. Embassy Suites by Hilton Chicago.
Speaker 2:But you want to know what's weird, too is I have so much to say about this hotel, but now that it's my time to say it, I can't even think like I'm drawing a blank.
Speaker 1:That's how you said you felt when we were there.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I'm trying to put these pieces together and it's like I can't even remember.
Speaker 1:But I know as soon as I get off the phone with you.
Speaker 2:I'm going to be like, oh yeah, that happened and that happened.
Speaker 1:But right now it's just like I can't even think about it. Okay, I'm trying to find the statue and if they, and it's kind of like hidden.
Speaker 2:So if they don't show it, it's you guys. It's the weirdest it's just so.
Speaker 1:No, it's going into that weird hallway. Oh, here's the hallway. Okay, do they show the statue? Oh, it's fucking got shining. It's even got the red doors. Oh yeah, it was freaky. No statue, no statue. I don't think they're gonna show it. There's just something weird about this statue. It's almost like like a buddha slash. I don't know, it just looks, but it looks very like old and that somebody like auctioned it.
Speaker 2:It like should not be there no, and it don't make sense either in the placement of it. It's just so random like I would never think in a million years I'd walk into a hotel and see a creepy ass statue just standing there like that here it is okay, but they don't show it up close. God, it's so cruel. Does it explain what it is?
Speaker 1:No, and the fucked up thing is that, remember I took a picture of the plaque, yeah, and it's blurred, it's blurred. I can't even you can't even read the plaque from my photo, yeah. And then like, yeah, I don't know, and then these African ladies were talking to Teresa in the elevator and they were telling you about, like, some weird convention they had that day.
Speaker 2:Remember she was from africa yeah, but that's all I remember. I don't even remember the conversation that we were and I had but then I was like, oh, is it a convention you're having?
Speaker 1:and she's like um, she said something like run on, run on, don't, don't be too nosy. And I'm like what Dude? It's one of those fucking hotels where shit goes on Like there's Colts and stuff. There.
Speaker 2:I'm telling you, there has to be. Yeah, because I don't know the whole entire feeling was just off the whole entire time and I don't know why. And it was such short stay that, thinking about it now, I literally cannot remember anything and I'm kind of pissed at myself because I should remember this and we're doing the podcast on it and I'm just like drawing blanks right and left here and we've talked about this I don't know how many times it just the hotel itself does not make any sense.
Speaker 1:It was like a maze.
Speaker 2:It was really hard to like you would come down an elevator a different way and not know what part of the lobby you were in. It was just weird shit. I couldn't even find my way back to the room in the fucking lobby. No, I had to keep. I got lost. Every time I'm like where the hell am I going? You're like come on now. I'm like what the fuck? I don't know. And I've walked that hallway how many times since I was there I could not find my way back we could not like I don't understand how we lost so much time sitting in that room.
Speaker 1:And then we'd be like, well, why are we not leaving? And then I would get pissy later and be like, well, why aren't we doing anything that we wanted to do? And you'd be like I don't know, why didn't we. And I'm like I don't know why didn't we. And you're like what time is it? And I don't know Like what time is it be doing all that time? I don't know. That's what I'm saying. It's weird. Like we were getting like pissy and then we were like both confused and then you would get tired. And I mean I would get tired first and you said you'd kind of get tired and then, like you were like struggling to go to the shower that one night. I'm like just get in the shower. You're like I don't know, I don't, I feel weird. I'm like okay, because your stomach was weird. And then you said I was talking. And then I fell asleep and I said I was.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, a big conversation and then you're out. One time I was talking about pistachios, another time you're telling me you're manifesting a puppy. It was just weird. And then I'm sitting there talking, answering you back, and you're over there sleeping. I'm like Melissa, melissa, are you?
Speaker 1:okay, remember the last time that happened with you on your porch. I went somewhere else, but I don't remember astral projecting there.
Speaker 2:So if I did I don't remember it yeah, but that's the weirdest thing in the world. Why the hell would you talk about manifesting a puppy, I don't know. Right before you fall asleep, too, like you're like, no, I don't need nothing right now, blah, blah, blah. And the next thing you know, you're like I'm manifesting a puppy. I'm like, oh okay, all right.
Speaker 1:And then I girl in the window. I yeah, oh yeah, it's like that was another thing, like that was weird.
Speaker 2:Tell them about the girl in the window across at the hotel well, I work by the window because you know, I look in the hotels next to us just to see, you know, and there's this chick staring at me. So I'm staring at her back, we're doing the stare down. I'm like, oh, she's probably not even looking at me, she can't see me. So I start waving at this chick. You know I'm waving, waving, waving. She's just standing there staring at me and then you walk up and then she closed the curtains real fast.
Speaker 1:I know, it's always me. They're like oh, that's the devil.
Speaker 2:No, but that was weird because she and for the rest of the time I didn't see anybody else in any of those hotel rooms and I kept looking to because I want to see if she opened her curtains back up.
Speaker 1:I'm like I want to see if this bitch is back, but it was weird. She looked like a nurse hotel lady from like the 1960s.
Speaker 2:Yeah, everybody there looked like they were in a different time zone. Nobody looked like they were from the freaking nobody, not one person that I seen, not the hotel staff. The only person I actually liked was the maid she was nice.
Speaker 1:Yeah, she was really nice. She like, liked talking to us too yeah, but that was the only person.
Speaker 2:Even when she came in, she's like, oh hi, how excited to see us. It's like she knew who we were, but everybody else there was just so weird and random. I don't know. I'd like to go back there, but at the same time I really don't want to. But just, we were in the midst. I mean, we didn't even have to go investigating anywhere else.
Speaker 1:We were in the fucking twilight zone in that hotel so they're saying um, okay, I stayed in room 1522 and it's definitely, without a doubt, haunted. I'm an open minded skeptic and I never had a paranormal encounter until I stayed here. Oh, really, um, on reddit, this person saying stayed there a few years back with my kid and we hated it. Creepy as fuck, our door kept making the key card noise all night. Wow, um, embassy Suites by Hill, chicago, o'hare, rosemont, by a team Haunted, or, I'm sorry, midwest Haunters. Um, so that was that. It was definitely haunted. I stayed there after a short trip to Chicago for a trade show. I had a 6 am flight, so I picked this hotel. It was two minutes from the airport. Never again.
Speaker 2:I wonder if they saw anything or heard anything like remember when we kept sitting, we were in the hallway and you had the spirit box going and the security guard kept walking back and forth. He didn't say that one word to us? No, but he was kind of like, I think he wanted to know, like, what we were getting yeah, because I'm sure there's other people that stayed there that wanted to investigate too, like if you're into the paranormal and you walk in there and you feel it okay.
Speaker 1:so a user is reported on here saying that they had a haunted experience, including a cold phantom touching and phantom voices. Another recounted a creepy experience at a chic Chicago hotel with odd knocking and key card noises leading them to believe it was haunted. A third person described a dark figure they saw in a Chicago hotel room, but they're not saying which hotel it is. Yeah, all I have to say is when you watch this show, you are literally going to be like what the fuck? You made me go to this place? I'm like bitch, you picked it.
Speaker 2:Right, but I mean, that's the first time Well, I don't get out much, you know and this was like really, really random, and it was last minute. She asked me to go with her and I'm like, yeah, okay, so I just booked the first hotel. That was the closest. I never even researched it or nothing. Usually I like to do a little bit of research and find out what's around there. But I was just like, yeah, whatever, this one's fine and that was it. But we just went in there not knowing anything. And it's just weird too, because usually I always research, no matter what, walking in there didn't know nothing, didn't know nothing around there.
Speaker 1:And we there didn't know nothing, nothing around there, and I thought we picked the haunted hotel, not even on purpose. Okay, so it's saying that it was built in 1987 and it was renovated in 2016. This archive 81 is from the 80s. I'm telling you this is, oh, my god, what if they like, made this show about this hotel, holy shit well, if they renovated that hotel, why is that one hallway still the same? Yeah, they said they renovated. It's old as hell.
Speaker 2:It said they renovated in 2016 they must not even touch that part, that. But what I found was so weird, though. Like I said, that bar was right there and it was live, like the music was playing. There was people laughing and drinking and getting drunk. You take three steps away, right the counter, and you can't even hear them laughing in the music, and the music was loud. How do you walk three steps away from it and not hear shit? I don't know, how is that even physically possible? And I kept telling you that is so fucking weird. How is that even possible? You walk down this hallway and there's nobody at all in this hallway For a packed out hotel, hotel. How is there nobody down there? And there's bathrooms over there too, so that that doesn't add up to me. It was just so fucking strange if you would still hear the music and people laughing from where we were at.
Speaker 1:Nope, you walk around the corner, it's dead silence I just want to know, like why we kept losing all this time, like we were both getting so frustrated. We're like what the hell is, I don't know. It was just so weird, it was so bizarre.
Speaker 2:But we can't recall anything like what did we do in that time?
Speaker 1:I don't know.
Speaker 2:I don't know yeah, we must have time lapse. You go in the elevator and you're going back in time.
Speaker 1:You're losing hours it was so slow. It put us back 10 years. That's pretty bad. So what did you think about the showman's rest cemetery?
Speaker 2:oh, I liked it. I thought it was really cool. Um, walking through there I got some creepy vibes just walking here and especially I knew that bali's grave and seeing all somebody put a bunch of pennies down on the graves.
Speaker 1:Yep, and we went and got changed and you guys, we all put it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but it was sad, you know, I just felt like a really bad sadness being there.
Speaker 1:So you guys, the Showman's Rest Cemetery is in Forest Park, illinois. It's a 750-plot section of a woodlawn cemetery, mostly for circus performers, owned by the Showman's League of America. Oh, that's what the SL, that's what that meant, okay, oh yeah, we did look that up right, we figured that out, yep.
Speaker 2:Do you know what's weird, though For that being the main attraction, it was actually kind of hard to find, even though it was right out in the open where we were. The graves weren't that easy to find at first? No, they weren't, they were not. And there was this other chick that pulled up there in the car and they were just, I don't know, they were bitches. I don't think they wanted to tell us anything.
Speaker 1:Yeah, they were weird. We're like, hey, are you guys here investigating?
Speaker 2:And they're like now. But yeah, they were. You could clearly see that's what they were fucking doing. I just don't think they wanted to tell us what they were finding or what they were looking for, because they were out there looking at the graves too and that one girl was telling the other girl she was pointing at something, yeah, and they, I was trying to find out.
Speaker 1:They went behind the graves.
Speaker 2:Yeah, there's something over there, but why wouldn't she just say that? No, she was really bitchy about it too.
Speaker 1:We should have beat her ass and stole the evidence, fuck around and find out. That's exactly what we should have did. So the showman's rest is due to the Hammond Circus train wreck in 1918. So just to give you guys a little quick highlighted history part of it. The Showman's League of America, formed in 1913 with Buffalo Bill Cody as its first president, had recently selected and purchased the burial ground for its members in Woodlawn Cemetery at the intersection of Surmark Road and Des Plaines Avenue in Forest Park, illinois.
Speaker 1:The first performers and show workers buried in showman's rest were between 56 and 61 employees and they had all died in the train wreck on June 22, 1918, in Hessville, indiana. 22nd 1918 in Hessville, indiana, as many as 86 people were killed early that morning when an empty Michigan Central Railroad troop train traveling from Detroit, michigan, to Chicago, illinois, plowed into Hagenbeck-Wallace's circus train after the troop's train's engineer, engineer alonzo sergeant, had fallen asleep among the dead. Um, so, like the great directs brothers, they were in strongman act and the jenny ward todd of the flying wards services for the victims buried at Showman's Rest were held five days after the train wreck. And then there's a historical marker in their statues of elephants, and inscribed are the words Showman's Rest. From the corners of the Showman's Rest plot. A fifth, larger elephant statue is at the center with the words Showman's League of America elephant statue is at the center with the words showman's league of america.
Speaker 2:You know what was.
Speaker 1:Sad, though, is all those unknown graves, like unknown male, unknown feet. That that's what was sad.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's really, because there's kids too, but there were so many of them that were unknown just walking through there, just looking at that, it's just like you got the chills and it was just.
Speaker 1:It was just that deep sadness yeah, it was sad, it was definitely sad yeah, all those unknown people like, how do you have like a full?
Speaker 2:and I get that, you know it was a real horrific accident.
Speaker 1:But all those people they had to have family or something well, yeah, a lot of them had their kids and their wives with them, because they used to travel together yeah, that was really sad, though just walking through there and you could pick up on the kid vibes too.
Speaker 2:I don't think there was an evil clown there. Like I've heard rumors of an evil clown, I think it was. Maybe possibly a sad clown.
Speaker 1:I think it's a sad clown, but I think people go and fuck with him too there, and I think people try to get something to happen and people are mean about clownss. Clowns have a very bad stigma and I think, like he could definitely turn evil if you're gonna go and you're gonna, like you know, belittle him at his resting spot, right, right. So the haunting legacy is that the tragic history and the presence of an elephant with the headstone, symbolic of the animals that also perished I forgot about that. The elephants did oh yeah, and they're buried, aren't they buried there? Oh, I don't know. It says, though, on a separate train, have contributed to stories of ghostly sounds, especially at night, and then there's been like creepy clown sightings. And then there's been like creepy clown sightings, but they want you to understand that it's not a clown cemetery.
Speaker 2:So so, Baldi, was that a clown? Did we ever figure that out?
Speaker 1:Okay, that's what I'm going to look up.
Speaker 2:Baldi yeah, see if you can Google it. I mean not exactly when I look up Baldy.
Speaker 1:Baldy is a clown that is buried at Showman's Rest. One of the victims of the bodies pulled from the Hagenbeck-Wallace Circus train wreck, and he was mangled.
Speaker 2:Okay okay, so he wasn't clown. I wonder if that's who they referred to as the evil clown.
Speaker 1:I think that's what they said, right? Uh, the cowboys, wrestlers, the tumblers, the clowns, the rastabouts, the move, the show at dawn, they're all part of the tragic tour offered by graveside paranormal when I remember you were saying um, play, play circus music.
Speaker 2:And as soon as you said that, start playing the circus music in the background yeah yeah, I don't know I that was the first time that I've ever used those noise canceling headphones, did you?
Speaker 1:like them.
Speaker 2:Oh, I loved them. I didn't want to take them off, I just I loved them. They're so cool. But the stuff that I was hearing on there, I don't know Like you would ask how old are you and then next thing you know, the phone would go off and say the same thing. That's why I asked you, I said, are these two connected? You're like no, uh-uh. I'm like wow, because I heard that whisper before it even came on the phone. Whoa, so that's what I really thought was cool.
Speaker 1:That's what I was telling you. With those headphones, you'll pick up disembodied voices.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I like that, though I thought that was so neat how it did that, because I've never even put a pair of those on before, so to actually Isn't it crazy.
Speaker 1:I'm trying to think, or I'm trying to. Okay, so you can find grave markers with nicknames or names like Baldi, baldi Smiley, alongside markers for roles like four horse driver, and then he simply labeled unknown male or unknown female.
Speaker 2:Well see, I walked through there and I know you did too quite a few times. I don't remember seeing a marker that said Smiley.
Speaker 1:I don't. I didn't see Smiley. They said I seen Baldi.
Speaker 2:I seen the horseman.
Speaker 1:Besides Baldy, other notable burials include Smiley, um. The majority of these buried are unknown, many being rust abouts and temporary workers hired the day before the accident.
Speaker 2:Oh man, that's sad.
Speaker 1:Miley, stop, I'm sorry, miley's snoring. So Miley took over Luca's spot. Now she, when I podcast, she hangs out down on the recliner and she snores just like Luca did. Aw, yeah, they're. I feel like they were nice to us. They were very respectful spirits that we talked to, I know.
Speaker 2:I don't know. A couple times they said some nuts and I stepped up?
Speaker 1:Yeah, they did call me an asshole. What did they call you? A retard? Well, you know what, though? Here's the thing, Back you know, early 1900s, unfortunately, if you were autistic anything different, retard was like a word I think that they used. Right, if you were autistic anything different, they retard was like a word.
Speaker 2:I think that they used Right Right. You know, they were just they did call us a couple of names. I mean, you have it on uh when you go through your evidence. It's in there.
Speaker 1:But yeah, so that will be.
Speaker 2:that will be part two of this, but um that was kind of funny, though it's like what did we do? Thanks, did you, but um, that was kind of funny though it's like what did we do?
Speaker 1:thanks, did you think it was haunted there? I?
Speaker 2:don't think it's haunted, I you could definitely feel the spirits. Like I said, as soon as you walk in there or walk over to the grave site, there's a sadness. You could feel the sadness. It was like a heavy feeling in your chest. Well, that's how I felt anyways. It's just like a sadness, and I think they're confused, like they don't know. I think that they don't realize what's going on, like they want to know who you are. They kept asking how old are you? Or you know questions like that, like I don't know if it was a child that I was talking to, but you definitely. How old are you? And then you'd ask them a question and sometimes they didn't respond, but it felt like it was kind of like well, they're part of a circus, right, they're entertainers, they perform, so it's like they're trying to trick you. I don't know how to explain it, but I didn't feel there's definitely spirits there, but it wasn't like a scary feeling what do you think it would have been like at nighttime?
Speaker 1:I?
Speaker 2:don't know. Um, I think it probably would have been like the same maybe, or maybe they come out more at nighttime because it's dark and a lot of people aren't there because, for it being okay, it was a sunday afternoon. When we're there, for it being a sunday afternoon, there was a lot of people in and out of that place. That I know. It's like you notice that car that drove by like three different times the same car.
Speaker 1:Yeah, there was quite a bit of people there. Yeah, you're right.
Speaker 2:So maybe at nighttime you know the spirits like well, my whole thing, my whole take on that is you go to the same place all the time. It's the same people all the time asking the same questions. That's a popular spot lot, so a lot of people go there and I don't know. Sometimes spirits get tired of the same thing over and over and over again. Could you imagine what, if you're dead, if the same people kept coming to you asking the same questions over and over again?
Speaker 2:I, oh, I'd fuck with them, I mean yeah, but you just you get tired of it at some point I would, but I would have to fuck with people because I'd have to make an entertaining right, but they're entertainers too, so at nighttime it'd probably be a little bit more lively there.
Speaker 2:Like I wouldn't mind taking a trip back there in the future and I definitely want to stay at that hotel. I don't know. Like I said, I want to stay there to investigate, but at the same time it's like I can't even recall the details that happened that.
Speaker 1:We should take the Don. We should take the Don to that cemetery.
Speaker 2:Oh no, he'd piss him off, He'd wild him off for sure. That guy, he's fucking nuts.
Speaker 1:If there's anybody that's going to get him to come out and play, it's definitely going to be him and then I was so tired driving Like I felt like we never slept, but we did sleep. We slept a lot at the hotel and then driving home was like rough. Yeah, we were all tired your ears or your gird or whatever was acting up. Natalie was really quiet terrible.
Speaker 2:Yeah, she was sleeping most of the time. She was crashed out in the back, but man, it was terrible the whole entire time. Remember I showed you I bloated up like I was fucking pregnant.
Speaker 1:My stomach was huge then you, you got freaked out at the Mexican restaurant and I didn't. The thing is that creeps me out that place, I know, but when you guys tell me that, I don't even like remember, even realizing that.
Speaker 2:But what place locks the fucking door? Like they were locking the door after us. I'm like why are you locking the door? And I looked around, there's only five people in there. There's a little casino off to the side, but they're all men. Like there's no females in there. I just got weird vibes for a moment. That's why I stopped the guy and I asked him. I said excuse me, why are you locking the door? He's like oh, because we locked the door and we ran out of food. Oh, okay.
Speaker 1:Well, how did they serve us food then?
Speaker 2:Right, and that's. He's like don't worry, we got your food. I'm like, okay, this don't make sense. You guys aren't closed till 9 o'clock, but yet here it is. It's what? 6 o'clock and you're locking the door because you ran out of food. That just did not sit right with me. It was just a weird fucking experience there too.
Speaker 1:It was crazy, I don't know. It felt like we were gone forever, but we were only gone like overnight.
Speaker 2:Right, that's insane. And now, thinking back on it, like I know, I'm going to be so mad when I get off the phone with you because I'm going to remember all this shit that I want to say about this place, but I can't remember, I can't even recall it.
Speaker 1:Well, write it down or text it. And then part two, because I want you to hear the evidence too. Like we'll do that soon, okay, and then you'll remember everything, but it was a very brainless time, like I feel, like both of our brains were mush no, but if you're ever in chicago, there would definitely be a spot to check out and investigate, because there's something up with.
Speaker 1:I mean, go in the elevator, you'll feel it yeah, every time we went to fucking elevator we like teleported somewhere different. We're're like where are we? Yeah, and I'm like we only came out here for like 15 minutes.
Speaker 2:Oh Jesus.
Speaker 1:I know we didn't even fucking think about that. That's so funny. We snuck in the conference room. Now that's where I got the heebie-jeebies. I felt, when you watch this show, you're gonna see, you're gonna be like, oh my god, now I see why she was so freaked out by this conference room. Just wait, girl, just wait. You're gonna watch this show and you're going to see, you're going to be like, oh my God, now I see why she was so freaked out by this conference room. Just wait, girl, just wait. You're going to, you're going to watch a show and you're going to be like, oh my God, we have to go back there, yep.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but for people that have conferences there all the time, there was never a conference. There was never a conference. And that African lady.
Speaker 1:I feel like she like a convention and she basically nicely told me to mind my business.
Speaker 2:She was voodoo queen, for sure.
Speaker 1:And I know her mom was bald, her mom had a wig on, but her mom had really crazy looking like African, egyptian eyes and she just kept staring at me and I'm like, um, and then those tall girls that you left me alone with in the elevator, dude, there was like three tall ass women behind me and like I could feel them behind me, like they would not. I smiled at them, they wouldn't smile at me and they were all like seven feet that's another thing, though these people like I'm not a big people person either.
Speaker 2:Okay, I don't really go out of my way to make conversation with people, especially in the elevator, but these people were coming in there in groups and they're all together like they know each other, and nobody even said nothing to anybody no, no one talked it was the most random thing.
Speaker 2:Like I said, I don't get out much, but the few and far times that I do go on vacation or go stay at a hotel or something, I've never experienced nothing like this place. No, no, it's definitely worth checking out. Just make sure you have a lot of time, because you lose time. Don't sleep, because you'll lose like 10 hours even if you only sleep two.
Speaker 1:And then, like the last night that we were sleeping, like, when I woke up I'm like where'd Teresa go? Dude, you were all the way at the end of the bed rolled up in a ball with your blanket over you. I was almost scared because I'm like, is that Teresa underneath there? Like what is that? That's so weird.
Speaker 2:I don't ever sleep like that though.
Speaker 1:I'm like what is that? And when I would wake up I would just be like what is happening? Like what? Like we were, what was what? I don't know. We just lost. We just lost time. I don't know what happened.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but that's weird too, because, like the first night, I was what normal I feel like, and I always freaked out at home too. So to be balled up on the edge of her bed.
Speaker 1:But it was so creepy looking because like she had this, like she had like her little blanket over. I mean, remind you Teresa's like four foot eight, but it looked so weird at the end of the bed I'm like, is that her? Like? What is that? Like? It was weird. I didn't know if, like you left and like I was scared, like I wasn't about to pull back the blanket. I was like it's like a horror movie. No, thank you, no it was definitely me.
Speaker 2:I was in that room, as far as I know it was so weird, it was just so weird.
Speaker 2:I don't know, some hotels creep me out, but I walked into that hotel, not creeped out at all. I think we got there really late and I was tired and I just wanted to get in the room and just you know, that's it. That's all I wanted to do. I just wanted to get in the room and just you know, that's it. That's all I wanted to do was just get to my room and just relax. And then you know, of course we had to get up early in the morning.
Speaker 1:I just didn't think much of it. I didn't feel creeped out, I was just weirded out. I was really confused. I was confused the whole time there.
Speaker 2:Well, yeah, because as soon as you and I took a different elevator, I'm like oh my God, where am I?
Speaker 1:I thought I was in a different hotel. I felt very uncomfortable. I felt very uncomfortable by myself in that hallway.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I don't know, that was fucking weird. Just sitting up in that room, though, was weird, Like the whole atmosphere, Like you walk out of that room, it was. I don't know if you felt this way, but I got the chills every time I walked in that room, because it was like you're walking into a different. I don't know how to explain it Like a different dimension. Yes, yes, absolutely. You walk out of the room and it's like you're in a whole different place.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I don't but to not hear nobody in those rooms and it's packed out Like there was a fucking hair convention. They didn't even have any other rooms. It's so packed out and just in that hotel, but to not even hear nothing the whole entire time yeah, that is true.
Speaker 1:That is true.
Speaker 2:We didn't hear anything and there was over 300 people there yeah, because every time we go outside there was tons of people constantly in and out. When we walked through that place it was packed out. It's like, oh my god, all these fucking people and then the bar being right there and all those young people coming from everywhere to go party at this bar, and if you walk around the hall and it's dead silent, you know some of those people are staying in that hotel too. Like a lot of people are there from all across the country for this hair show. It was a big, it was a big hair show, right.
Speaker 1:And then not to hear anybody, like nothing, not even see people walking down the hall or nothing I feel like so drained that now that we've talked about this, I'm like I know I do too. I feel like we're back there again. I don't know, but I don't. My dreams I can't. I don't even remember dreaming there, like I don't recall astral projectings. You know, with you I do that, obviously.
Speaker 2:Right, but you know what, though I don't know, something does not want us to talk about this, because I seriously, as soon as I got on the phone with you, you're like you're ready, yep, I'm ready, I have so much to say, and then I'm drawing a blank. It's like I'm back in that hotel again.
Speaker 1:Yeah, we're getting late, shit our brains were like mush, it was just, and Natalie like was pretty quiet yeah, she's normally pretty quiet, but I don't know.
Speaker 2:I don't think she wanted to be there either. To be honest with you, I think she was feeling kind of off. I haven't even talked to her about it since. We've been home.
Speaker 1:Oh, yeah, then she. It's been over a month yet she lost her bank card there, too, didn't she? Or her ID, yeah?
Speaker 2:her license and that their tune in she or her id, yeah, her license. And that I think, uh, yeah, and I don't understand, because I swear she grabbed that off the fucking table.
Speaker 1:That night she had to. She was going out to dinner with her friends right.
Speaker 2:But there was because, remember, she came in. She's like did you find my keys? I'm like, yeah, they're on the table and I swear that she grabbed them and brought them with her. But even her friends, when they came up to the room, were really quiet yeah, they did not no one seemed like they were having a good time no, it's like you walk in that hotel and it just changes you.
Speaker 2:I got very bitchy being there me too, me too, I was like on edge the whole entire time and I mean I know it's weird me being away from my kids, because I don't ever leave my kids and I was worrying shit. But I was like so on edge because I was picking up on all these different feelings, like and they weren't good feelings either like there was a lot of negativity there and I swear and I know I sound crazy saying this, but I'll say it again those people they had to have been dead. We time-lapsed, we went, we went back in time to 2002, where things were just completely different, and that's why we're so creeped out that's what I think happened.
Speaker 2:I think we time-lapsed yeah, but I've never seen no shit like that. I mean, when they redid that hotel, I think they I wonder if there was like I wonder why they redid it. Did they redo it because something happened there? Or they did because 1980, I mean, yeah, that's old, but it ain't that old and they didn't touch the one hallway. There's got to be some kind of history behind that hotel that they're not saying. Even when I called there remember I called there because I was trying to figure out what happened to Natalie's keys I kept calling there and I could not get through to anybody.
Speaker 1:You called, you got through right away. Yeah, that was weird.
Speaker 2:Oh, yeah, that was the day after. Yeah, I could not get through to anybody and I was trying to find this place online. I was calling, I was getting some weird recording and then it'd hang up on me. I'm like what the hell is going on and I was bitching at you and then you call and you get through right away. You're like, well, I told her to call you back. I'm like how the how the hell did you get through, when I've been calling for like the last fucking hour?
Speaker 1:And she called you back.
Speaker 2:She did the next day. Yeah, it wasn't well. I knew the news that she was going to tell me shit front of the keys. I already knew that was going to happen, but she did. She called me back. She's like no, I'm sorry, I didn't find nothing. I'm like okay, well in case you do, you know you have my number call dude like what if we did like cross through like a dead zone?
Speaker 2:something happened that was not normal. Like I said, it changed how you are. It changed how I was the whole entire time, like I was so excited, looking forward to this vacation. And I can't even fucking remember it right now no, I can't either, like I'm when you.
Speaker 2:I do remember details from the cemetery and I remember details, very vivid, from that Mexican restaurant. I remember everything like the bagel shop, everything outside the antique shop, everything outside the hotel. I remember, clear as day, the ride there, the ride back that hotel. I can't remember shit. I mean, I barely, right now, to be honest with you, remember what the room even looked like. What was our room number? Dude, that's crazy out here and there's going to be somebody dead in there. Don't ask me why. I kept thinking that, dude, that's crazy. And then we kept taking the workers elevator and that was just strange. Yeah, but I'm telling you right now, that guy that I kept seeing walking back and forth like what do you keep walking back and forth? For he didn't have any luggage or baggage with him, he just kept walking back and forth. Same look on his face, this bald up on the side of him.
Speaker 1:Where are you going and what are you doing and why do you keep walking back and forth? Maybe, maybe, he was dead and that was his residual haunting.
Speaker 2:That's the last thing he remembered doing. So yeah, I bet you know what. I think he was dead because there's no way and it was like he just walked. You weren't even in that garage long enough for you to keep walking back and forth. You know, I mean, I can understand if you're going somewhere, you walk to the garage and you take off or you have to get something out of your car or whatever. But he wasn't in the garage long enough to get something out of his car and here he comes walking back again, and then he walks the opposite way again, right back to the parking garage.
Speaker 1:What the fuck is this guy doing? I?
Speaker 2:don't even remember you talking about this guy, let alone seeing him. I don't even. Yeah, he creeped me out Like I was really creeped out by that guy, In fact, that's. The only thing that really stands out to me about the whole entire time was that fucking bandaid over his eye and that black coat and his fist balled up.
Speaker 1:Oh boy, yeah, I'm like drawing a blank and I remember you saying, like you don't remember, I told you twice and I'm like I don't even, I didn't even hear you. Like what, like what guy?
Speaker 2:That's what's weird about it too, because I know I did tell you.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and you said he walked right in front of my truck and I'm like what?
Speaker 2:He did. But the weird part is, Melissa, he walked right in front of your truck when you were staring at that door. I don't remember even seeing a guy.
Speaker 1:I don't think I see them.
Speaker 2:What the hell? Yeah, that was creepy and he was coming out of that hotel going to that parking garage.
Speaker 1:We should have investigated that parking garage too that parking garage gave me creeps when I, oh my god, the first night oh, I'm, I'm, um. When I walked out and I had to walk through that little hallway thing to get back, oh oh no, I did not feel good, I would not turn around. I'm like, I'm not turning around, I'm just going to keep walking, walk, walk, walk, walk.
Speaker 2:Yeah, because you were by yourself too.
Speaker 1:It had nothing to do with the parking garage. It was this feeling that I had. Oh my God, you know what I just remembered when I walked back across to go get the truck to get you and Natalie. Yeah, um, it took fucking forever on this elevator, okay. So then it kept like opening and then there would be like 10 plus people in there. Then there'd be four more people and I'm like and this one guy was waiting as long as I was I remember him looking at me and I looked at him. I go, this doesn't make sense. He's like I don't know what the hell is going on. He's like it's only one stairs up. He's like where'd all those people come from? I'm like I don't know. And then we had to get into the elevator. Then there was like 20 people in there and I'm like like what the where did these people?
Speaker 2:because you, there's nowhere that they can go, like we're all on the same ground yeah, that is weird, but you know, what's even weird about that, too, is where those fucking people even come from. Anyways, I was standing there and I didn't see like 20 people go walking into that parking garage.
Speaker 1:I have no idea, because they were going up, but how were they already in the elevator? Oh oh, I'm getting the freaks.
Speaker 2:Ooh yeah, see, I didn't even know that. That is fucking weird.
Speaker 1:It creeped me out, oh my God, when I seen daylight and I clicked the thing and the you know the arm came up. I'm like, oh, and I seen you and Natalie standing there. I'm like, oh, thank God.
Speaker 2:It's almost like we. It was like almost like weird, like a do-over, if you think about it that way, because I kept seeing the same guy, we had the same dasher, we lost all that time. It's like it just kept repeating in a different way.
Speaker 1:Oh, yeah, but I remember waiting, though, to go up and I finally said, fuck it, I'm gonna take the stairs, and then every time I would say that the door would open. But there would be like all, all these people in there and I'm like, where did they come from? Like they, they're going up too, so they would have had to be on the same ground as me and that guy, and they were, I don't know.
Speaker 2:It's so weird.
Speaker 1:No, it's only I don't know, but they were multiplying every time the door would open.
Speaker 2:Oh, that's weird.
Speaker 1:And there was this lady. She was like really foreign. I don't know if she was like Mexican, I don't think she spoke English. Hi, Mama, but she aw, he goes hi Mama, Mom, why?
Speaker 2:are you in Bobby's room? I'm talking to Aunt Mel.
Speaker 1:Hey, buddy, how are you feeling? Yeah, yeah, yeah, you feel good.
Speaker 2:Talk. You can say hi to her, hi.
Speaker 1:Do you feel okay?
Speaker 2:Hey look, Michael, I got you two new Two new.
Speaker 1:You got a new. Two new yeah, you got. I can't see that so hard. You got a new one. You got a new. Yeah, you got a new one. Good, I'm so happy for you, buddy.
Speaker 2:Aww.
Speaker 1:Her son just had surgery.
Speaker 2:My kid was just sleeping.
Speaker 1:Well, we brought the crazy out in him.
Speaker 2:He probably heard us talking about ghost stuff yeah, he's just, he would never even know he had surgery today that's crazy yeah, he's acting like normal, like nothing's wrong with him.
Speaker 2:He's fantastic and I'm happy about it. I just find it odd how he's just recuperating so fast. Well, he's, I don know. A lot of shit's been weird. But ever since we got back from Chicago though like that first week just everything was weird. It was, I felt, so off, like it was hard to get back in the normal groove with things, and we weren't even gone for what? Two fucking days, I know. I felt like I was gone for like a month.
Speaker 1:It was very bizarre. I I've never stayed at a hotel like that in my life. But let's end it here, because I want you to be able to get a couple episodes, and once you start watching this show, you're not going to be able to stop. I think there's like eight or nine, maybe 10. Um, we're going to have to revisit this conversation when we do the live recordings.
Speaker 2:I hope I don't keep drawing blanks then. Either I'm going to start writing this crap down as soon as I start remembering it, because I know like as soon as I get off the phone with you, I'm going to be like oh yeah, I should have said this, or I should have explained this more, even trying to talk about it, when we first started this conversation off. I'm like, uh, where do we start?
Speaker 1:But thank you for coming on here and um, I we've we've been wanting to talk about this since you know we've we went over a month ago, right, Yep, March April, oh, April, yeah, so a couple months ago, All right.
