Hello, hello. Hello and welcome.
I'm to a special episode of the weekly scroll.
I am Hunter. Ryan is hiding in the background
tonight tonight. We're really, really cool.
Fun greater cut. Actual Play episode.
And today, I'm joined by I'm Indy you've seen me before and
tonight I'll be plate. Should I introduce my character
right now? You a cherry?
I go tonight I'll be playing Joe, I'm recording Rogers.
A cameraman very excited. Hello I'm Kirby.
I have been on the show several times to.
I feel like a special person now and I'll be playing Blake
Haines. She is the Foreign correspondent
of this mysterious life. And I am Josh, I had been on the
show before, I think it's been about six months.
I think was the last time I was on here, sometime around three
days, six months God. Yeah.
But for those who might not know me, I am a writer and designer
in the Indie tabletop RPG, seen a notable for my work with the
afterthought committee with tangled.
And more importantly I was the co-author designer for the
Bureau for a little horror. And am part of the sorry.
My cats are fighting part of the the little whore writing team
going forward into the future. Yeah, and so stoked to have you
all on and Josh. What are we doing tonight?
Oh boy. So we will be playing part one
of Adventure called one night at the shelter would in this is an
official crossover Adventure between the liminal horror team
and the guys at haunted table who are currently in the midst
of kick-starting, their system, triangle agency, which you guys
have just featured recently in our Channel like 12, You know,
maybe I am the times an illusion, that's weird.
So this is a fun one. So one night that resulted in
began it was around December or January where I was trying to
start writing something to have on hand to run for one shot for
them in horror and what I was doing at the time was doing a
conversion of night of blood that I like Classic Warhammer
adventure for the middle horror realized doing a straight
conversion wasn't going to be possible just given the way that
that set up. So I had started to kind of like
right you know, something Loosely based on it and kind of
figure it out from there. I ended up running this
adventure for a couple of Pacific Northwest game
designers. We had like Matt Morris and Brad
Kerr and Goblin archives and I kind of like joined Up for a
little meet up down to Portland, ran them through the adventure,
at that time, around that time. The folks, from Haunted table
has sort of reached out to us, primarily because they were
interested in the bureau and kind of where it plays in the
space because they were working on, you know, a triangle agency
at the time but it's similar Aesthetics but, you know,
different Focus, I guess, the best way to describe it.
So over the course of that we decided to team up.
They We were doing a crossover reality Jam where there are in
theory, still going to be a number of additional Adventures
that will follow this one but crossing over between two
systems. They did one already.
That's your in space, in every respect.
And there is one they got. Logan Dean doing something with
the system. I can't remember the name of
accompaniment the company. There we go, then we put ours
out, I think. Still doing the gazebos
bed-and-breakfast crossover Adventure as well, but I haven't
really heard anything about that one little bit sick.
So the basic idea is for this adventure in particular, it is
essentially two ways to play the same night.
You can pick up either triangle agency or liberal horror run
through this adventure and just simply changing the system and
changing sort of, like, the way that you are, approaching an
initially will completely sort of cheating.
Changed the course of how things turn out for your group in
particular. Now tonight, we will be doing
the little whore half and as I understand it, if the schedule
still holds tomorrow night will be the triangle agency folks,
and I think it's Sean from Haunted table, that is running
that one. Absolutely.
Well very stoked for that. So cool, let's get going.
Okay, so, first thing to note, I'll let you guys like properly.
Introduce your characters in just a moment.
Or the first thing to know is that he you are the cast and
crew of a show called this mysterious life, this mysterious
life is independent sort of news broadcast show.
I'll primarily focused on reporting the string Djinn
paranormal with the idea of often debunking it for
falsehoods or you know just trying to find the most
compelling story. With that, in mind, how about?
We do a little bit deeper, dive into your characters is one of
each introduce them. Hunter you haven't gone yet.
Why don't you start off? That's true.
I haven't. I was I actually use my real
name in the introduction today for the one of the first times
ever. Yeah, I'm Jones Morrison.
I'm the anchor and narrator of this mysterious life.
I am an up-and-coming young journalist with a very cool
leather jacket. We're wearing well, cut blue,
button-down and Chelsea boots which I'd wear in real life as
well. They are quality shoe.
Mmm. Andy.
Are you all right? I'm Joseph Rogers.
The cameraman and audio tech for this mysterious life.
You probably you see him walking around with too much gear, he's
got a extendable boom microphone and a nice camcorder as well as
his loyal and well-trained dog Toby and you know that dogs
well-trained. If an audio camera man's taken
around because he's not making any noise, he's standing in the
background out of frame perfectly.
See here wearing green coveralls, and good boots.
Good boots are important and I'm sure they don't squeak very much
either. Yep, that's Joe and I will be
playing Blake Haynes who is the creator and correspondent
primary correspondent. I'm assuming only correspondent
I'm going to say that. It's the only correspondent of
this mysterious life. She she is dressed in a light
purple Blazer and some comfy shoes which I'm going to say our
van slip-ons. Very much business up top party
down down below like a dress mullet, you know, and I was
trying to think of something fabulous to say about my
character, something cool. Like she her passion for the
Paranormal started at a very young age, but I don't have
anything else than that. So we're going to go with that.
All right, so before we dive in proper, I need 2 things from you
first. You guys have a van.
You know, it's the primary van used for carting the cast and
crew of this mysterious life around to various Locale.
I need you guys to describe this van for me and decide who's
driving. I think this van is in terrible
condition. Well I write I would say the yes
the I would say the interior is in terrible condition but I
think that to keep up quality business, appearances of the
out, the exterior at least looks nice or looks professional and
the interior might be a mess but my bag of equipment and goods in
good condition, you don't touch my equipment.
No one touches my Equipment and pick those expensive and I'm
probably driving. Joe's driving Blake is
definitely riding shotgun, probably working on editing some
episodes or something on there, just in the back, like, kind of
laid out over like stuff. Just that's in the back of the
van just like, And then Toby is quietly curled up next to you.
Yeah, Scooby Snack though. Second thing worth noting.
You guys are on trip. You're in southern Washington
state in the United States, if that's not clear.
Now, you're headed to the town of cold water, cold water is,
it's a few hours, you know, sort of north northwest of the
Portland metropolitan area. But what ends up being on a few
you know less well-trodden, highways and Backroads.
Then maybe you're used to. /, you're running late.
Tell me. What's the reason you guys are
running late? You're running behind on this
trip, and whose fault is it? Oh, it's fucking Jones's fall.
It's definitely Jones. Is full of stones is 100%.
Is he admitting it though? Yeah, I don't think Jones is
admitting. It's his fault.
I think I think Jones got caught up flirting with a gas station
attendant and losing all track of time.
Unbelievable. Yeah, Toby wouldn't leave
without a mount. So needless to say, the air in
the van is tense. I'm not going to get any of my
shots, I wanted to get the inhabitants at sundown and I'm
gonna have to stay an extra day and I don't like what what's
scheduled next? Do we have time for an extra
sonship? Some shot some down shop or we
passed schedule. Well, by the time we get there
it's probably already going to be dark.
Yeah, it's really unfortunate that it's so unavoidable that we
were late. You know, who are you texting
back there? By the way, is it the people
that are holding our reservation or your mother or is it the girl
that you were talking to at the gas station?
Who I make a note in my laptop or my smartphone.
I guess that Jones is getting docked pay this week.
I said you're running late. The sun has set already know
Sunset shots. You still got an hour left of
driving? That's worth noting that on top
of being dark. It is, of course, raining this
night. Mmm, so probably already in many
ways, we are in the sort of late spring period, not quite hitting
that summer warm front yet, but it's probably like, march/april
that time of year, we don't get a whole lot of snow in this area
in general, but it is a wonderful bit of freezing, rain
that a sort of kind of cascading down.
And you within your van driving down this lonely road, even seen
a car in 20 30 minutes. Minimum been about just as long
since you've seen any residence or place it business and what
surrounds you now is and the sound of the rains are
patterning on the front of the car.
As you speed through this area and the site of the pine tree,
is it sort of lined the road? Now Joe, you're driving.
Yes. As you push forward following
the GPS. Let's say you look down, just to
see how much time you have left in there.
When your eyes flit off. You see something in the road, a
quick Dark Shadow, just at the edge of your headlights as soon
as your eyes flick up. What do you do?
Pump the brakes, just slightly not hard enough to like you know
really jolt us but slow enough to for me to try and get a view
at this thing, it's in the road and as you tap the brakes and
begin to slow down, you see it coming?
Just it's at this point. It looks like a shadow kind of
like walking across the road. It's dark.
It's raining. It's hard to see.
I push harder on the brakes and try to bring us to a stop and
onto the side of the road, all right?
Because this makes more sense. In terms of stats I need you to
make a control save for me. Okay.
This is dictating your ability to respond in time in this case
and for those unfamiliar with the system, you're rolling a D20
looking equal to her under your current control staff.
My controls. Okay, here we go.
I got a seven and my control is 7.
Okay? Now You're spoiled and time you
don't hit whatever. This thing is Couldn't save you
from the road conditions though. No were out of the way.
You hit that slick, you know, ice-coated Highway the van
screeches and all of you are jolted as it kind of like, you
know, goes over the side of the road and down into the Verge
into the mud over there, and you come to a stop, as you kind of
like slide into that portion of the road.
Immediately, I turn around. Is everybody, okay?
Well, just, I'm just like holding my arm rests of my seat
and just like what the fuck just happened.
I completely ignore you. Toby you, okay.
I'm like holy person. That wasn't the wall.
Like share & Scooby in the back of the van.
Yeah, did I hear a thump? Did I do I think I hit whatever.
That was you did not hear a thump, you were able to kind of
react in time to miss it. What that did kind of cream you
off the road. Like Kareem enough that I'm not
going. Well, I'm gonna get out of the
car. Unbuckle myself get out and give
a little whistle to Toby to come with me and do I Have a flash do
is there flashlight, handy. Anybody got a flashlight.
But a bare minimum. You have the light on your
smartphone that you can kind of eliminate okay.
Gosh, I don't like that much. Yeah, and realistically, you
have your items in your inventory, stop.
But if there is anything like logically reasonable, that would
be in the back of the van. You can kind of grab survival
kit. So like that would have a light.
Yeah, I'm not sure. I would wait for you to get it
out though. So I'm gonna have an appointment
through the glove box to just in case.
And while they're looking, I take my smartphone and go up to
the bank of the road to look into the road, at whatever.
It is that I didn't pit. As you get up to the top of the
road, you know, if pouring rain you have coat on, I think I'm
Justin my over. Rawls.
All right. You can feel kind of splattering
into big thing, the big gobs of rain, just kind of like nailing
into your shoulders, holding up without light of the phone,
can't see very far. I wrote seems abandoned.
I tell Toby, get back in the car because I just see him getting
wet back in the car and then I shout into the rain.
Hello. Anybody there?
You just hear the pitter patter of Rain On Pavement.
There's no lights looking down the road looking that bird.
I turn and subservient a our van, how far down the embankment
are we pretty far down? Mmm, but Jason is full of Pancho
out of the survival kit and like put it on, you know, he's got
like a little the glow stick you believe on the road.
You get out there looking around the band itself is in well
enough shape. It is still a beater coated in
mud at this point but you're pretty sunken down in there.
Hmm, I think Blake's gonna hop out of the driver's seat after
rooting around the glove box for a flashlight.
Does she find 10? Good question.
So in these situations what I'd like to do is I call it luck
role but it basically the die fate, I need you to roll a D6
for me. That's nice a looking for.
Let's say hi, as I think I changed my mind on the server
time, I asked work but how is good.
How's the six sound a 6-ounce? Gree you find maybe one of those
big like maglites. Yeah maybe some talking about.
Yeah, I'll pop it out and I'll like route through my expensive
leather. Purse for my handheld audio
recorder and those are two of the items in my inventory.
And I'm going to pull it out and I'm going to start shining the
light around the van over towards where where Joe is and
try. And see if I can help him.
Okay? Joe comes back to the van and
looks around curses. Idiot.
Some of those in the road. John's know me?
Oh, I mean well, says fall, right?
No, I wasn't really. But I was always looking at my
emails. I didn't really see what
happens. Walk sounds like, hey, Louie,
what were you talking about? There's something in the road
and I thought it might have been a person, didn't want to hit
them. Swerved where are they?
Did not see anybody? I couldn't see him up there.
Was it like a person? Or was it like a, like a, like a
roadkill again, animal or something?
It was in the middle of the road whatwhat do?
I think I saw is it was a shape and to save some embarrassment
Jose just saying I thought it might have been a person
whatever it was. If it was an animal, I thought
it might have been a person. Hmm.
Well not check. Got do we have phone service?
You know, I got a smartphone and user basically the middle of
nowhere and as expected, no bars.
Yeah, nothing. Hmm.
Well, I'm going to shine the flashlight up back up the
embankment towards the road. How steep did you say that this
embankment was? Because it feels like
narratively speaking. It feels like it wasn't very
far. No, it's a, you know, a standard
Highway with the birds on the side of it there.
Okay. So it's just a little shoulder.
Yeah. Yeah.
You're not like, in a drainage ditch or anything like that,
it's the road was raised the required feed.
You're just kind of like off at a little ways and Got the grass.
Yeah. I'm gonna yeah, I'll shine my
light over there and see if anything is revealed before
walking that way. Oh can you shine your light up
and as far as you guys can tell there's nothing here.
Just the rain, the van and you in the Vans, most definitely
stuck. Probably try and get it out but
you can see the tires are probably a little sorry for him.
The tires are probably like down 68 inches in blood at this
point. Okay.
I mean, I guess for ice for a walk until I find something I'm
going to try and get us out. But before before we just assume
that we're stuck, I'm going to put that baby in gear and try
and pull us out of here. Because might as well be more
stuck if we are stuck so I get in the vehicle, turn it on.
And I say, I don't know if you want to be in the vehicle while
I get it stuck, might be good to keep you dry and not muddy.
Hold on, I want to roll a luck check for myself to see if I'm,
if see if I know that if you throw sticks underneath tires,
when they're stuck in the mud of it helps, I rolled a one.
So I did not know that know, A better question is.
Well, Joe grabs the driver seat to try and on the way out.
It's you get back into the van. I think I'm gonna wait out and I
think I'm gonna walk up to the road and like light a cigarette
because Jones feels like a smoker.
I've got my Poncho in the rain, you know, just watch No, can I
get one of those? Thanks.
Joe is, you sit down in the driver seat, start the van and
hit the gas or the reverse whatever it is.
You're trying to get out of there.
I need you to take a look role for me.
At Sea. I'm sorry.
The sex you're looking for sighs.
Yeah. As a one for one.
As you put your foot to the pedal, the tires just take up a
wave of mud that juts itself backwards towards your
compatriot standing outside the van Oh, I want.
We're on the road. You know, we're 72 far from the
road. Yeah, he said it was only a
couple then to 10 feet. That's their fault.
That's not mine at all. No you guys are far enough back
where you're not getting coated in the mud but some Flex event.
Definitely like launch themselves in your direction.
I make a deck saved. See how coded in the mud?
I an excellent can't. Okay, I want to see.
I want to fail. So I think Blake just Falls over
because she was not expecting. She was like, hunched over
trying to like this cigarette and just gets it Forward.
Big fucking thing. I rolled a 3 so weird.
Okay, so you were able to sort of Dodge out of the way and save
your your bomber jacket and nice clothes for all.
Yeah, I imagine my club. I move out of the way and it all
just hits Blake. You know?
I mean I was like, oh well we don't have a shovel or any of
that. I don't think we're I'm getting
us out. So turn it off.
Turn the engine off before I sink.
The exhaust in the mud and I turn around.
And hopefully I brought a jacket to the great white North which
Michael look roll. Yeah, I am just as bad as Jones.
It's a one again. You did not forget.
Check it bye guys. Oh no.
Okay. Well.
We're stuck. I yelled into the rain.
Uh-huh. What you guys want to do?
Yes for walking. How far, how far, how far we did
we do? We have an estimate on that
before we wiped out here. Now, like I said, you probably
an hour's Drive mileage is variable, here's our heading up
into the mountains, so it's a lot of like, winding and Pat's.
It's been a bit, quite a beast decent chunk of time.
Since you've seen anything behind you.
You said no service on our small on our phones.
Nothing at the moment. My battery, let's my battery
like it lieu of another luck rely.
Let's say 75%, okay, I was going to say I should roll a
percentile but I like 75%, that work Your battery will run out
at the most inopportune moment and let us not yet, perfect.
Well well this is kind of creepy, huh?
I don't really want to walk. Want to Lug my gear, I want to
stay right here and wait till morning time.
See if maybe a car goes by. I kind of you carry some of your
gear but gonna be cold tonight. I assume It's cold now, it's
cold. Now, it's gonna be cold tonight.
Got all I have, is this light purple Blazer.
I say out loud. And I'm an idiot.
I just brought my overalls. I'm going to Route around the
van. For something to wrap around me,
like a blanket or a pillow case or like anything to, you know,
anything. Do you think that that's
reasonable? I don't need like a roller into
thing to find that even double what you find the back of the
van. A ratty blanket that Jones was
using as a fucking like, pillow, it rolled like balled up under
his while you texting on his phone.
It's my lucky blanket. I'm not wrap it around my neck
and be like, fuck this fucking snakes.
I grab some of my gear I guess we're not staying here.
Can I it sounds like the thing to stay warm got grabbed?
Can I make a look role to see if I have something else?
I have an idea of something that I might take with me for audio.
You know what a sound dampening blanket is?
Well, I think it's self-explanatory, but yeah, so
I'm yeah, I don't need a role for that.
If you think you got it, you got it.
Yeah, I'm gonna ruin it. And it's going to be ruined
though. So I and it is not, it's not
comfy like a blanket. It's rigid.
So I have to like Gary ever me. Ruff.
Yeah, Nicolette. Yeah, basically walking with a
little tent on top of me. Okay, I locked the van up and
I'm gonna leave my boom mic because I don't want to walk
with the boom, mic in the rain. So just tuck my camcorder and
bag underneath there and start trajan.
Come on, Toby. Try to keep him like next to me.
Who three of you plus your animal companion, walk up onto
the pavement and had off down the road.
No. It's only a short while.
You're walking before you do see a bit of a glow in the distance.
It's red light emanating through the trees, you kind of just see
it. It's the only bit of light kind
of in this this you know, dark of the highway here.
This is a sign. It's hard to tell at this
distance. Mmm.
Well, at least there's some light like that's where we're
going. Beacon in the darkness.
And as you continue down that path now, will the destination
and mind? Again over the patter of rain,
you know, this thick Globs on pavement, annoys carries.
It's almost a growl or a screech hard to tell.
Sort of Echoes across the trees. Oh man.
Immediately, I reached down and grabbed Toby's collar and kind
of see how he's responding not. Well, probably ears up or tail
between legs. However, dogs respond.
Okay, I'll how loud is this? Is it just here just audible or
is it like really loud was just Audible and sort of faint?
It was more like an echo over the trees.
It's kind of hard to catch it over the sound of the rain, but
it is the one thing that sort of breaks up the monotonous, you
know, pouring into the amount in line, they do, you know, they
make weird awful screaming noises, so You say that to us?
Yeah, I do. That sound like a mountain lion.
Do you jump? I think the both of you need to
be quiet. That's out.
Can we see what the light is yet?
He still have a little ways to go you maybe a half mile away at
this point. Did you say we left the road to
go down a different path toward this light just on the road,
okay. I'm going to.
Point the flashlight at the ground instead of further ahead
just kind of like not straight at the ground but just a little
bit further, a little bit further down so it's not like
Illuminating the entire Street and I'm also going to turn on my
handheld recorder. See if I can capture that noise
that happens again. And it's still raining, right?
Oh yeah, story and I'm not pulling out my camcorder but as
luck would have it as you begin to kind of like go through the
motion, you get the recorder on, You Hear The Owl and it's it's
almost like a human scream. But a little higher pitched, be
a woman or a child, but it's closer now.
I think it's a mountain lion. That's not sound of a mountain
lion. Holding onto Toby, like trying
desperately to keep him from, like, barking or growling or
whatever. I start to pull him down the
road, kind of like, Bering on whatever side of the road that
that noise isn't coming from You start gaining ground to getting
closer and closer to the source of light.
Now, it seems a little bit more blazing and bright and
noticeable. You hear the growl for a third
time? This is loud.
It rumbles in your ears. It's almost as if it's right on
the edge of the Woods. Again a definitive like I don't
want to try and imitate the sound for myself and that's cool
screaming I don't even know if I don't know if it's a terrifying
screeching to I pick Toby up and full break into a run towards
light just like running as fast as I can.
I also I also yell to them as well.
Jones, even though he knows better because if you run from
Mountain Lion at £100 on, you also just out of fear begins to
run behind them. What kind of shoes did I say?
I was wearing? I was wearing the ends.
He's advanced level and yeah, these are fucking drenched in
fucking rain water. I start running too but like
shuffling because I'm trying to keep the blanket over my head
while I'm Shuffling and holding the recorder in the flashlight,
all at the same time. What all of you to take a point
to stress? It was a reminder stress pulls
damage from your hip protection just the same as physical damage
does. And you can heal your hip
protection with, you know, a few moments of rest in a safe place
enough. Time to take a swig of water or
catch your breath, but if you guys want to do that, you have
to actively. Tell me that you are resting.
Either way. Oh and keep track of your, your
total HP. Where do we take?
Stress free to hit production. Straight Ahead protection.
Okay yep. like I said, just remember your totals Now, with
that in mind, the 3/4 of you are now moving.
Fastly quicker. And you begin to sort of Round
the Corner, the trees break and you see it, the source of the
light. This sign is neon sign sitting
near the road and Blaze. And with the words, the shelter
would in Casting this light out there.
Now what you see behind it? Is presumably the in question
this is more of a we were called a motel these days.
Single floor structure. The whole kind of set up is a
little bit u-shaped in nature. In the center, there is a little
Garden area where the signs sort of resides.
The pole. Sits out from this unkept grass
around the edges. You see the drive up rooms, you
know, there's pavement there. There's a little walkway, and
then there's a series of doors as you are rushing into it.
We're going to use cardinal directions, because that makes
it easiest for me at least. As you turn from the road and
face the hotel, that's going to be Cardinal North.
Just for reference. To the north.
You see again the sign is in front of you.
Then there's this main building that set back a little ways that
we'll talk about in a second. But like I said those rooms
sitting almost V or u-shaped jutting out from that main
building, if you get a quick count there are eight of them.
On what would be the left side? As you guys face the hotel?
What is the western side? There are three rooms.
They appear to be bigger. On the right side.
There are five rooms. Look a little bit smaller.
No. So you stayed on the left the
west side and then there's five on the right?
Yeah 3M or let us say 8 there's three on the left five on the
right. Eight total.
Okay. And right in the middle is the
sign and the lobby. Sorry, I was grabbing nothing to
draw on. Yeah, the middle is where the
sign is a little unkept guard and then set back a little bit
ways away from that. Is the main building.
Now, the main building is this, it's still a single story
structure, but it's set up in an old like a frame.
You know, mostly like a rustic looking building.
You can tell that this place had a lot of charm, 30 years ago,
it's sort of sat there and Faded with time since still looks
intact, just kept in some manner.
Immediately, you know you're not alone.
You can see in this parking lot. There are three cars.
The first. In the room on your left side
I'm going to call room one doesn't really matter one of the
larger rooms. There's a faded red sedan and in
one of the rooms on the right, you know, the smaller rooms
there is a black SUV there, each of a parked in front of their
respective rooms. and also, Perked up against the curb right
in front of that. Main building.
You see a old sheriff's car. Now, it is worth noting that,
which is car that sheriff's car. Yeah.
Okay, hmm. But I have noted that little car
drawing with the letters acab so I remembered well as you cross,
you see the sign, you see the rooms you taken the cars?
She's only right as you see these great for the office.
Yeah, it's gonna slow down as we're walking up and I like Paul
my phone, my snap a couple pictures and look at this weird
like eclectic little nowhere place.
They I love this. Yep, it is worth noting that
there is also a gas station. Next door, looks a little bit
newer. We can kind of talk about that
later as it becomes relevant. But as you're rushing towards
the lobby, you know, the main building there, you'd notice
that, you know, there are those two cars.
There it is. Pretty late at night of this
point. The only other source of light
outside. The sign itself seems to be
coming from directly from the lobby.
But as you cross in there, you're running towards that main
building the moment, you do not hear any additional sounds
outside of the labored breathing and, you know, slapping of your
feet against the ground. Okay, let's start to slow down
as we get close to the building and like turn around and take
stock. Look to see Jones and Blake,
how's Blake doing? she's struggling, but she's
keeping up, I think one of her one of her shoes probably fell
off and she like grabbed it and now she's just holding it and
just like running and as soon as she gets under like the awning
of the main building, she's just going to like throw the blanket
off and just Okay. I said, Toby down.
If we can get a room in here. I tried to open the door to see
if the lobby is open. So, we took the door.
You do see her because of their lights on and you hear the
muffled voices? He grabbed the handle.
Remove, that's locked. And look inside, I hear voices.
Yeah. But what's wrong?
But curtains are drawn to. You don't really have a good
view of what's in there. Is there a bell to ring?
You can knock knock knock. I'm not gonna wait anymore.
Fuck, this man. Let's go.
We should inspect the door and see if there's any traps.
What game are we playing? It's a mimic as the pounding of
the door commences the voices stop And as you continue
pounding after an awkwardly long period of time, you hear the
latch of the lock and the door, is it opens?
Now lights are floods out from back behind there.
You see a man standing at the door, it's rather short rather
portly. Quite a mustachioed wearing like
an Argyle sweater vest type of setup.
Nice. Hello.
Hi. Hello.
I'm trying to get like a little more professional and now that
I'm talking to somebody hi Blake Haynes from the this mysterious
Life podcast that we determine that was a podcast or television
show. I can remember.
Maybe both, let's say both the the program.
This mysterious like our our, our van broke down down the
road, Is there a there, any rooms available that we could
like put our things in and then like call a tow truck or
something to help us out and he kind of looks up at you.
You're probably taller than him. Oh, and okay, he kind of
stammers a little bit and he goes, oh, I'm sorry.
I was expecting any more guests for the night.
We had started the close down and you see him kind of
contemplating for a second and he goes, yes, yes.
It's all good, it's all good. Coming coming coming, I'm just
immediately Rush inside. Don't even like wait for him
just like and we really get inside and bring my sopping wet
dog. Side Scoops, like almost push
him. Over smells so good.
Oh, oh, and the dog to beautiful mountain lions or something
around around here. There was something screaming at
us on the road while Mayans. I'm sure we're in the mountains
but not that, I hope not. Gel-like finally just like calms
dabbler. We're inside.
Okay. How much is the how much is the
room going to be? And and I guess I mean I guess
we should probably get two rooms because I don't want to be in
the same room with the two of you.
No, thanks. Oh no, we can.
We will get to that later. Come in and come in first, she
try him to have a seat, have a seat and he looks around because
Allah, he points towards the Western Wall this establishment
and you see a bar now. Now is worth noting as you kind
of filter in, you know, push past him.
You see. The lobby here.
Was clearly one slavish at some point, but it's in desperate
need of renovation. You know, the walls are covered
in this once bright green floral wallpaper, their chandeliers
that sort of hanging from the ceiling that are just caked in
dust. You pass by the marble reception
desk desk. Again.
It's probably got like a couple rings and all sorts of like that
mess on their that she needs a good cleaning.
And you know I'll spread throughout the room there
appears to be you know as a little seating area fireplace
that's currently unlit a couple of tables.
There's like a service door that leads.
Presumably to the back end of the hotel there and then there's
the bar itself. Now, the bar is you kind of like
look and follow his point to it. The bar takes up most of the
Western Wall. You do see a little door, like a
little gate, one of those little cowboy Gates.
That looks like it leads back into a kitchen of sorts.
But the bar itself is surprisingly well-stocked and
probably the cleanest thing in this whole place.
Joan is like takes up the Poncho, sixth, fantastic
specific bar and it's got the, the mirror in the back.
It's a stack with like all sorts of expensive, you know, Liquors
and beverages, I know alcohol. You're not alone.
You know, past this, you know, middle-aged man.
You see two other individuals, one seated at the bar.
A woman can addressed in more of like a prim and proper pantsuit
type setup is very crisp, very clean just kind of like,
ignoring you for the most part in nursing a drink at the bar.
And then there was an older man, you know, as you walk in, he
sort of looks up. He's got gray hair and a
well-kept beard and a face wrinkled.
Old by years of smiles. However, Quite the description
there. The i-i've never heard anybody
described that way, and it just made me as like sprinkles and
then it made me uncomfortable uncomfortable and one of those
Smiles adorns. His face as he notices, you
know, the 3 plus dog of you and to the room.
Now he's dressed in all black and he's got the little clerical
collar on. Poverty is currently holding a
mop. You can see him kind of like
mopping a section of the floor here.
No, that is not the I don't say this out loud.
But gosh, that is peculiar. Is I look at them, like, forgive
me. Father, for I've spilt, you
know. All right.
So we're so rude towards the bars that we're all doing.
Oh yeah, I'm sending the bar. I'm not gonna Rush towards the
bar but I will I'm going to follow.
I'm actually going to follow the guy wherever he gestured for me
to sit. I'm just going to like head that
direction. It was just one of the bar
stools. Yeah.
All right. And he kind of like shuffles on
back behind the bar. He kind of raised the gate and
slams back down and looks at the three of you and goes up.
So, sorry for my lack of pleasantries earlier, like, as
we weren't expecting guests, this late of an hour.
My name is Otis, I am the proprietor of this
establishment. Can I get you anything to drink?
Yeah. Can I get an espresso Martini?
Know how about something else? How about Mezcal?
Paloma, don't know that one. How about three of hot fashions?
Pretty old-fashioned step. That I can do, okay?
And and also going to have a little bit of water for my dog,
and okay. And of course, Joe stays
respectably like away from the bar and and puts down the
baffling blanket kind of fur for Toby and tells Toby, stay right
here, buddy here your dirty. I don't want to have you getting
everything all wet, maybe a towel to.
I don't want to get your bar all wet.
But I'm sure, sure. And he like looks around and
goes out, you can't stall. Any throws it at you, and it's
just like the bar towel. So, you want to grab a cup of
coffee? Please coffee.
I want to, I want to, I want to, I want to, I want to.
I want to roll roll a control. Check.
I think, or would it would be I'm looking because at this
point, I have it has become clear to me that this man is
looking around for the answers to things.
Me is the player I want to see if I noticed that.
I don't think you need to roll anything for that.
I think it's in character for you to notice that.
Yeah, yeah, we are investigative.
Ya Peeps. And and as soon as I get
situated, I actually check my bag to check on the status of my
camera here was good. I bust out a bipod And I set the
camera up actually at one end of the bar, kind of facing
everybody cuz I'm like, this is, hey, maybe I could fill some b
roll with this. This place is, is kind of funky,
and as soon as it's yes, it has it set up.
I walk over to the bar and pick up that old fashioned.
I'm if he's made it an old-fashioned for us.
So first, he gets a cup and he, like, pulls out one of the
little bar instruments and fills it.
It with water and hands it over to you.
I go bring it over to the dog as you bring it over to Toby, put
it down, you realize it's seltzer water and as he clicks
around behind the bar for a little bit of X grabbing Laura
actually make an Old Fashioned in person.
Scribing alcohol key. And Bitters, I think that's it.
And if he doesn't listen simple syrup or you need like sugar,
right? Okay.
Then you will see like a whiskey Bourbon and then you have a
glass of stir it in a little kids.
No, no, no. I got this.
Does it, do I believe that he
has it? Do you believe who has it?
I don't believe that he has It. Okay, okay Joe is is holding on
even show as like is that looks at the salsa Runners like he's
an Innkeeper, he's not a barkeeper he just he must just
be an Innkeeper. He's not a barkeeper.
That's the reason why and comes back over three old Fashions.
Get slid out and it's in like a like a regular glass, there's
far too much ice. To me, it's if I say, it's like
a pint glass with ice. You can see like an asinine
amount of muddle through kind of, like, jammed in the bottom
of it meets present, or use free of charge perfect.
This looks really good. Thank you so much.
Yeah, it is my pleasure, the coffee, I'm a just a bit cold.
Oh, coffee. He walks over and the machines
there and he like pulls out the little like Ryan's filter filter
thing. Yeah.
The filter and it looks at it goes, how good?
It shows it back to you in and do poop hits the button and you
hear the water or kind of like sort of percolate.
What, not great. Okay.
Oh Joe you got the the camera set up great.
We can get some good good shots from in here.
This is actually a really good spot for some.
Just great b-roll. Yes they're fine.
Yeah and you hear the woman that the the bar was kind of like
watching you with eyebrows raised.
She got bit of a Stern face and hair is kind of pulled back now
she kind of speaks up. I would prefer you know not to
be filmed if that's okay oh don't worry we blur out, I'll
faces and if you don't sign an NDA, Say, well, you don't sign a
release. We can't put you in any way, so
you'll be blurred out. No, no.
It's just that my my organization.
We try to maintain our images here.
We can't just go on and random videos of Far.
All he's looking. I understand I mean, I can move
I just no no no no need. I'll go no alternative Jones.
Just she can move, don't worry. Don't worry Blake.
Don't worry I'll turn it off. I walk over there.
Discussing like sweet. What organization are you with?
Oh and she kind of like you know gives you a bit of an eyebrow
and goes yeah work for both the pyramid where a bit of a We're
on the smaller side, architecture and contracting
business. Got it.
All this is dotted all across the country.
It's just we don't like Ted. We tend to want to control our
corporate image here and you know, I've been known face there
and it's a little weird being filmed by strangers.
So, out of character, do you have I heard this organization
at all? Probably not.
Unless you are like in the real estate and development, Forums
feel like it's a, it's an MLM for architecture because they
smell like, architectural schematics.
So it's like a pyramid scheme. Yes, Joe's going to go over and
turn off the camera. There we go, cameras off.
Let's see if you're any quick enough to to it unnoticed.
Okay. All red lights.
They still glaring out of the front of the camera.
I'm Being that we run into people all the time.
And and so my red light is like it's it doesn't even function.
I have actually disabled it so that no one can see that it's
running. But yeah dexterity.
Yeah. I think this is a
sleight-of-hand type of deal. So, we have dexterity safe,
please. I got a 2 and magenta. 30 is 15.
Oh yeah, so you are real Sly, a very practiced move, maybe even
looking at someone as you. You know, flip the setting to
leave it rolling. Cuz I am uncomfortable.
This room makes Joe uncomfortable.
Well I guess we can just get some footage later or tomorrow
in the morning in the morning. To be a great time.
I'm sure there's gonna be nobody in here Otis.
Can I get that coffee please? I'm, I'm really need to wake
myself up here in the wake of not forgot my stuffy, One second
and he goes and he turns around and it's been a couple of
minutes. At this point, the coffee is
like well and brood. You can kind of all smell it and
pulls it out kind of pours into a copy of a mug conveniently.
Maybe there was kind of stacked up right by there.
The Pint glass, just anybody plays it down in front of you.
Just a black cup of coffee. Thank you so much and it's
enough says he's pouring the coffee, bringing it over.
You hear the door, open the front door.
The sounds of the storm kind of come in.
And you hear like that. That's the door open and you see
somebody walk in and Kyle stop their boots.
You hear the noise? I'm not even walks in a younger
gentleman. You can kind of see he's wearing
a sheriff uniform. He's got a bit of a slight
frame, so the shorts a little bit big on his kind of swimming
in it at this point, but he's got the cowboy hat on, you can
see his hair underneath this kind of swept back and wavy And
as he Stomps his boots, he's kind of like shaking.
The rain off himself goes. folks got nothing must have run off,
will deal with that and he turns and he sees the three of you
standing there, All right. God officer we had we had an
accident in our van and it's so good.
Someone is here to help us. We didn't call though.
No, no, I've been But here a bit, we Kylie points out toward
were scars. Oh, he's like walked over to the
bar formal? He goes, what's this?
I hear about an accident. We accidentally went off the
embankment and got our van stuck.
How long of a walk was it? But I had an estimated, I think
I said about a half-mile about a half mile to the South North.
If I'm using the same cardinal directions, it would mean to the
east, to the east, to the east. Yeah, we walk through Will the
road up here and that's something awful.
Screened is just a rough walk for us.
I walk over to my dog and I bend down to see how my dog is doing,
because there's a focus dude. Okay, nothing?
Okay. No alert outside of like the
Curiosity of being introduced to somebody new.
Okay, good. Because I feel like there's a
bit of tension. There's a little bit of tension.
Yeah, and so the the guy walks in his uniforms got Wayne kind
of written on it, you know, presumably this badge type setup
going on on this was breast but he goes You run off the road.
Yeah, it was our creature. Something screened at us out
there or growled at us. There was something on the side
of the road could maybe mountain lion.
The you have mountain lions around here, yeah, but surely
melt minds. Must have been a I could have
been a bear. You know, it's been one getting
in the dumpster back behind the hotel here.
I was just out taking a look. We heard a big bang.
Maybe the same creature. Hmm when you say a big bang you
characterize that is obviously oh just something rooting around
in the you know that I was drawback.
It's not uncommon out here a little bear, tend to get
themselves into people food. You know how it is, but child's
just poking around out there. Didn't see anything, maybe ran
away, maybe that's maybe that's your growls.
Yeah. I mean maybe I don't know about
bears making screaming sounds but yeah we didn't sound like
that any kind of shrugs he was no no not a problem.
Common out here. Well thank you officer so much
for your concern is helpful as every other cop I've ever dealt
with. So we would really appreciate
your assistance if you could call your dispatch and have them
send out a tow truck for us, I would I really appreciate it.
I am the sole owner and creator of this mysterious Life podcast.
Maybe you've heard of it and we would be extremely happy to
feature your name as a credit and possible producer credit for
the show. Episodes are currently working
on to your Jones was being such a hero, not just savior to us
and Otis here to, for making this deal.
Delicious coffee. And these Drinks, just fabulous.
You all have been so fabulous and so Wayne kind of shakes his
head. He goes, no, no, that won't be
necessary. I do a bit, unfortunate news, I
am off duty, so to speak at the moment by radios, back at the
station. Why don't, why don't we vote is
here? Set you up with a room?
Sure, he'd love to do that. And I notice kinda goes.
Yes. Yes of course of course because
you can will do room. So see you don't have your radio
in your truck in your in your squad car?
No, we're a little bit old-fashioned out in the boonies
here. I would say that.
That is a bit old-fashioned. Yeah, you can see that piece of
shit. I got out there.
We just have a standard handheld radio system.
Like I said, I Driving a car, the way back home and, you know,
put all my gear back at the station there until the morning,
when I go pick it up, but you do spend the night, there is what's
the name Hank, over the gas stations mechanic, he's gonna
observe, a tow truck, he'll be back in in the morning, we can
get you all towed and settle up at that point.
That sound so work for you. Seems like it's gonna have to
think that sounds really, really lovely.
Thank you very much. Notice you guys have a phone, I
could use and and Otis goes well.
Yes, yes. But I think the storm that storm
might just might be running the lines a little bit.
We've been having trouble getting.
Calls out today such an inconvenience.
Unbelievable. Sorry
room. Oh my goodness.
Yes. You know what?
Actually Jones can you get a picture?
Of me. Notice real quick on my fight, I
have to host this event on our Instagram, as he's been such a
good host and I hand Jones, the, the my phone with the camera
open and I just put my arm around Otis and like over the
bar and I'm just like, so he's like please like no, that's
totally unnecessary and me. I immediately just go into our,
you do end up getting a cop shot his face, but you can kind of
see him kind of squirming and it's a little blurry.
And I also look at the screen just to make sure that Blake is
at handing me of like a little note or something.
Hang on there, so I'm like, hey man, I didn't think of that.
Absolutely nothing. Wrong the same page.
Yeah. So I'm not I'm not particularly
hungry. My stomach's a little turned
from that fright out there with the bear.
I think I would actually like, to just get warm.
Maybe take a shower or something.
Can I was but not so, it's nonsense.
Nonsense here. Just wait, I'll whip you up
something. Just a little light snack,
you're good good. And then he kind of like rushes
off back into the UK, like kind of the kitchen is he goes to the
door. Okay, I look back and forth.
Is the cops still standing over us?
Yeah. I mean, I'm not like hovering
but he's kind of their, maybe he's leaned up against the bar
and one of the seats kind of closer to the the woman on the
end there. The priest has put away his mop
bucket, you can have it here, roll it off and he may be
settles into one of the tables. They're kind of like still must
smile peaked on his face like looking at the you guys and
watching the situation unfold. Eileen in the black room was
like, what the fuck was up with you and the cop do you want to
do like hold it for him while I peas as well?
I'm gonna take my drinking dip and go sit with the the pastor,
the father. I'm gonna drop my recorder into
Jones's pocket and like Pat it. So he knows that I put it in
there, you're like, Jacobin red or whatever because it is still
running by the way, ever since you know, twenty fifteen minutes
ago when I turned it on on the on the road I've had it running
the whole time. Yeah.
Trick Mix these little tricks to get information.
I'm like okay. All right, that abound say
anything. I'm but I could like a so I sat
down with the guy I'm like hey good evening father I call you
father? Yes, my name is Father.
Fred. Father, you're sorry.
One more time, read by the Fred other Fred five nights at father
Freddy's. Yeah.
For this apartment is a pleasure to meet you.
Yeah, I was Jones. You know, I'm part of this.
You know this vodcast have never heard of this.
But yeah, what do you would so do you, are you a priest or do
you work here? Oh no.
I'm a priest of sorts, but You can call me semi-retired.
I beginning a little old, the practice here, so I generally do
confessionals once or twice a week at my home church, but they
needed a priest at a parish in cold water for a few weeks, and
nothing better to do. So, I'm on my way there.
So leak. And it sounds like really
rewarding work. I mean I could see how it gets
harder as you get older, kind of taking on the burdens of people
around you. What it's not what's domination
of you. Catholic.
Oh interesting. Can I put a hold on this just
for one second. I got a question to ask.
Sure. So we're coming to cold water to
do some debunking investigation. What exactly are we coming to
debunk? There were some disappearances
if we're kind of strange that have been happening in recent
times, but also sort of in the history of this place I think I
understand why. Okay, all right.
Continue. Sorry.
No you're fine. Had to get some context there.
So you've just hanging out this hotel for a couple days or oh,
no, I'm just on Transit. They Had some openings here.
It's a short drive away. I'll be there in the morning.
Yeah. Oh well you know I good luck to
you in your travels and what's up with that lady at the bar.
You think about this she said the vaulted pyramid, your
anything heard anything about that?
Some development firm from what I've been up to clean from her.
Do you have heard of them? I've never heard of them before,
as of tonight. Sure about.
Okay, been here, a few hours, interesting.
Okay. Well, You know you have rough
night if you like him over and bless our drinks, I think we'd
all appreciate it and he kind of laughs a sticker joking.
I don't know if you're joking or not, I don't want to be a parent
whether or not I am so okay, he takes this a joke.
Perfect, I like on, like me then while that's all happening.
I'm going to gesture to Joe to Joe to come over and just like
Kind of make some small talk with you, but yeah, like just
not not about anything. But while we're small talking,
I'm going to just imply that I want you to go just talked to
the sheriff while I go follow. Where it is.
Okay, I give you the. All right on and I go I go over
to the sheriff and ago. Hey, what time is it?
I don't have the right time on me.
Let me come and look. Looks at his watch on his wrist,
and it goes. Oh, man.
It's almost 1:00 a.m. Yeah.
So this kind of seems like a popular haunt, you know that
people hanging out here late at night?
You you tend to stay here often? Oh me yeah, Otis not go.
Always back. We I guess I can say I'm a
regular, I tend to stop by the end of my shift every so often
say hello, see how things are due and get drink here.
And there how far is cold water from here?
Cool water itself, 40 minutes by car.
I I'm a county. Sheriff, I do the whole region
here. Yeah, so you're you're Sheriff.
How many deputies you got? Well, let me be clear.
I am one of the deputies. Oh, okay.
You're here. There's team about, I think
about dozen of us lost our call. Because some questions about
their training regimens escalation, I'm literally just
trying to get it. This guy's a real Sheriff office
just like he sees seeming, like he's a real shit up.
Does he have a belt? It does, he have a belt on with
a gun and everything? He's carrying a weapon.
Okay, so we heard some things about cold water, you know, I
guess there's Some disappearances up here.
And I think, if anybody would know something about that, that
probably the local law enforcement, would know
something you heard anything, or any kind of rolls his eyes and
it goes, rumor and speculation. Mostly, we're out here in the
wilderness. Cold cold, water gets all
tourists that come out there during the later portions of
the, the spring and into the summer.
The big ol Lake out there mountains.
So on disappearance is mostly just experienced hikers getting
lost in the woods. Okay.
And I continue on this conversation because it doesn't
seem like I'm going to get anything except for several
excuses. So I just keep on.
Well, what about this? How about the Bears?
What about mountain lions, blah, blah, blah blah.
Meanwhile we can cut to. Yeah.
What's up with like doing? So which direction from the bar
did Otis Traverse? It's probably too, like, if
you're staring at the bar to the left of it, there's that little
like, Dumbledore double flap doors, and that's also the same
direction where the old older woman is sitting at the end, I'd
say she's probably on the opposite side of the bar.
Oh good. Okay, cool, yeah.
So as soon as the sheriff begins to get like kind of like caught
up in conversation, I'm just going to kind of like walk over
to like one of the columns are tables and just kind of like
fiddle with it and just kind of do that as I kind of meander
towards that side of the room. Room and then try and slink in
and we get through the window. Yeah.
Do you it? So it's one of the like I said,
it's a cowboy horse on a fold or so it's like, I thought I was
gonna break that glass windows. Yeah.
I'll look through first and then
go in if I feel like you know, okay as you take a quick peek,
you see a you know, prep kitchen.
Doesn't look terribly. Large back there you do here.
Bunch of noises banging around. Yeah.
Push the doors open really, really quite like slowly and
just kind of slip in. Okay, slip it and you walk back
again. Simple prep, kitchen, there's a
table. I are like a, like, a prep
table. There looks to be a grill.
A fryer decent-sized, like fridge set up and take a walk-in
fridge, space to store code. There's probably a couple of
shells, kind of like jammed up in there.
I'm going to pull my phone out and I'm going to pop up my memo
recorder and put it in my lapel pocket because my handheld
digital recorder has extreme length of time available, but my
memo recorder is obviously smaller split.
I'll pop that in my lapel pocket and then just kind of like I'm
still going to try and not be seen back here, but if just in
case I am, I'm gonna try and see where Otis where he is, what's
he doing? As you kind of like The Quran,
the corner there you see Otis kind of like stammering run to
the kitchen he's got like stuff on the grill and you can see
it's like frantically flipping. It looks like a burger couple of
burgers kind of splayed out there.
The kitchen is awful. Filthy it's like somebody hasn't
properly cleaned it for the night is probably the best way
to explain it. You can hear like the bubble of
a fryer going and notices like looking over at it.
He's flicking back. This thing you can see these got
plates back there and he's going to be looking around.
Does not notice you, as he's like, frantically sitting in
there. And as you can see, kind of like
good spatula of the burger and he starts pleading the first
Burger, it's getting this this final little bit of food.
Ready? For anything in this kitchen.
That is not what I would expect to be in a dirty bar kitchen.
I would say no it looks like a dirty bar kitchen.
You know. It's okay.
Otis ain't the most skilled at the grill that's for sure.
And is there another Exit from here, or is it just out the out?
The bar just at the bar, okay. Then I will just leave it at
that for now. And I'm going to like slip back
out the bar doors and just kind of wander around.
Okay, as you get out, it's only another few moments before you
hear a shuffle of footsteps. And you see, Otis pushes way out
with three plates of food, and he quickly brushes over, he puts
down the tray. On the bar, pulls off the plate
and hands. One each of you it's simply a
burger bun. Apple fries like a handful of
fries, kind of like is there cheese on the burger or Just
meat and meat and bread meat and bread.
Hey yeah, I'm gonna go see hence these out and he goes up Bon
Appetit, uh, you can quickly take take as much time as you
need, we'll get you settled up in a room for the night whenever
you're ready. Can we, can we just take, can we
just take the burgers with us to our rooms because we are still
wet and, and quite cold. I suppose.
Yeah, that's fine. That's fine, that's fine.
He goes, He wanders, back into the kitchen and after a 45
seconds he comes out. He's got like a bunch of to-go
boxes, me and Simone. Ah, thank you so much.
I'm can I get a to-go cup of coffee as well?
I'm gonna take a nibble of a fry while I'm there.
I'm taking a nibble of a Why? I just I'm really just trying to
put this push this guy to his limit because it's very clear
that he has no idea what the fuck he's doing.
I know I'm taking a little guy just to see how badly it's
front. Is it is it like crispy or
underdone or what does there something?
So cold in the middle? It is certainly not a frozen
fry, but it's like a crinkle cut in.
It still kind of like, like lip I can taste that.
Oh, okay. You cooked crinkle-cut fries,
it's like Cardboard. Okay, cool.
Hmm. Thank you Otis.
I say what not trying to be like, you know, condescending or
anything, like trying to be like genuine but also like terrified
and he goes um okay. You get that wrapped up and he's
not shuffling off towards the desk and he was I will pick your
room. Perfect.
I like walk over the desk with him, you know, and he kind of
comes back and he goes but bananas like wandering on the
desk and he's like, looking around a little bit because I
can he pulls open the there's like a little shelf in the back
there and he goes right open and you see, like a bunch of keys in
metal keys hanging on rings. And he goes I looked and it was
perfect. And he pulls one off the ring,
you see? It's for room, too, and he goes
turned back around. He sees Jones sitting right
there because oh, I will. Bring you guys to the honeymoon
suite. And because I let me just get my
set of keys to any turns back around.
You see him kind of like grabbing something out of box
Because we expect him to be so busy tonight.
Unfortunately, that's the only room that's up ready for guests.
So, we'll have to put all three of you in the same room for
recharge battery charge, of course, I am a helpful, man,
where I can be I really appreciate that.
I when he was opening and closing the room key box, did I
notice if he like locked and unlocked it when he was going in
the outer shell of the, the key box is just open and close it.
There is a lock on it, but it was not marked as he approached
it. He goes, you grab your stuff.
I'll bow to the tour while that's going on.
I pack up my camera and everything and get ready to go.
Okay. It's like, dude.
Mmm, God. This is so sketchy.
Every single fucking thing about this is so sketchy.
But I'm just going to keep playing it off.
Like, I'm just so grateful for their, for their help and I
definitely want to overdo it with the, with the, with the
sheriff, to before we walk out the door, just like almost like
that. Like Damsel in Distress.
Like put my hand on his chest and really just like I'll tell
ya Hook Line & Sinker. Oh yeah.
He fallen for it. Okay, good.
Yeah, I'm gonna thank you. So you're such a hero and then
like after I walk away, I'm going to look at Jones and Joe
and just be like, Joe is just so freaked out.
He can't even like register, and he's just, like dead stare back.
Like, like no registration at all.
Otis again, he offers to show you the way to bring you to the
room. All right, I collect my dog and
my camera. Let's go at is the group of you.
Pups are weakest. I just said, let's go Otis.
Let's fucking go. And as the now for of U plus
stock cross, the threshold back out into the storm heading to
the honeymoon suite. I think this is a good
opportunity to take a quick. Five minute break.
We will be right back, stay tuned for the rest of one night
at the shelter would end. Alright, welcome back to one
night at the shelter, would in the limit horror and triangle
agency, crossover, reality womb, or the break.
We were just leaving the lobby of the hotel.
Otis offering to give you a tour of the honeymoon suite that
you've been promised as you've walked out back into the rain.
Quickly shuffling ahead Otis walks up around under the awning
of the building. Over to you know what would be
the Western and you suppose to larger rooms passes by Room 1
and up to the door of room to raise him, take his key and open
the lock. As we walked by room, one, are
the curtains pulled? Or is it open like enough?
The windows that we could see in this one of those interesting
things? Where the All of this is very
the term is an art deco. It's not what I'm thinking of
20th 21st Century Modern. Think that's the term for it.
Where it's instead of like one of those big long windows that
you see in a typical Hotel. Something got Fancy with the
design here and did a series of like, those slatted Windows.
Cool. So light can filter through, but
it's one of those things where it protects your privacy because
nobody's, like staring at your window at this hotel.
But you, as you walk by you, the other two rooms on this block
here. Don't seem to be lit.
You do. I walked by the believe with a
red sedan that I stated that's parked in front of room one.
So presumably somebody is, you know, they're or that's somebody
else's car but the curtain seem to be drawn over those windows
but he does, you know, Otis that opened the door if you wish to
follow. Ha ha ha, I'm like, thanks.
Yep. Totally normal.
Guy go go right in? What are the features of the
honeymoon suite? If you don't mind me asking,
that is a very good question. I want you guys to paint the
scene for me, as you walk in Otis flicks on the light.
And you see the room, what elements of this room again, it
is a honeymoon suite. That is true to its name.
What is it about this room that tells you what?
Been updated in about 40 years, I want the rotating heart bed.
That's it. That's exactly what's gonna say
is that this has to have that like 70s rotating art been like
everything's kind of like red or plate, in the middle of the
room. He he he, yeah, he's Lee, Heart
Won't. Yeah.
And like, either like a red or like a pink Shaggy carpet.
Look at two inch. Shag matted down with just years
of Footsteps. God, there's got to be a mini
bar that has like a back lights on it, but it's like all just
like crusted. And Brass mirrors.
Then finally little corroded on the walls.
Nice. But down the ceiling to you
absolutely were just like, the whole ceiling is a mirror.
So a few more things stay here, by the way.
As you filter past Otis into the room, he does give a cursory
tour. He's like, oh, the bathrooms
right in the back and you can kind of see points to a door
leading in there. And you see, like a heart-shaped
tub, conspicuously not in the bathroom.
Just like, set off to the side and Begley near the door and he
goes, yeah, the beds. There we do, have the, the
seating areas. Well, somebody else want to
share with that bad and it's like a without my column.
I wrote this down. Hold on, son.
Second seating area. Oh yeah.
Oh yeah, cool. That's me.
It's got like a leather couches that are kind of spread out
there and you see there is a fairly modern television that
had been kind of crudely attached to the wall on a mount.
And it's at the way that the room was situated, was not meant
for this type of TV. So that like an odd angle.
Compared to where the, the central point of the seating
area. Is he goes on.
Well, we got basic cable, There's some packages in there
if you're interested but oh, this is their sure there will be
in a few minutes. The room is yours.
Like I said, it's free of charge.
I do ask that you check out by 11:00, but you do have to come
find me so we can get you too. To our mechanic Georgia over at
the station there. He's got that tow truck, he'll
get you settled that what was that?
The same name the sheriff gave us You're asking me or are you
asking you not? I'm not asking you to.
I'm pretty sure that's the same name right far as I'm aware.
Okay. Damn it.
I thought maybe that was an intentional misnomer but I think
maybe I just misheard. You okay George.
Okay. George over at the gas station.
I'll try and remember that. Okay.
Do you guys have any questions for our our good friend Otis
here? He's been such a pleasure Otis
such just You are really just a lifesaver, honestly been about a
lot more helpful in the sheriff. I'm not gonna lie and I like rub
his chest a little bit. Just like real gently.
I don't think oldest responds as favorably as the sheriff does
but he does crack a smile. Any girls of course, of course,
when you own a business, you do have to help those in need.
Or sorry, the foundation of our country.
Absolutely, yes, yes, yes. If you do need anything, here's
your key and he kind of like puts it down on the counter.
I will probably be asleep very soon.
But in theory I will be in the lobby and I will see you in the
morning. he turns and walks out the door, closes it and you hear
like the Click of a lock and then he hears footsteps kind of
Shuffle away back towards The lobby.
Presumably I immediately try to open the door.
As you get over there, you see it's old.
It's rather archaic physical lock and it looks like you need
the key from both sides. Figured I was actually gonna
gonna say, I go out the door with him, but then you started
going and I was like, you know what, I'm just going to let it
go. All right, so we're locked in
here. Fuck, you do have a key.
But we need it from both sides. Right?
No, sorry, not at the same time. Its just.
Oh, okay. That's why I was like shit.
I was like, yeah. Okay, so I will put the key in
the lock and turn it and see if the door opens.
Of course it's like no, but why would the door open?
Oh yeah. So wait, hold on.
Are we locked it? Yeah.
Yeah. 100%. You got a key?
It's not that door. So what is your boy is there
another door in the room that I missed?
Bathroom. Give them back their yet.
I'm gonna I'll be like, okay well this is already not turning
out. Great loss.
Start recording and I go check the bathroom out.
I don't I pull out my camera but I don't start recording.
No, I do start recording as we explore the room and just kind
of like Blake. Give us a breakdown where we at.
One, second Jones, you my recorder back and I'm gonna lie,
reach into your pocket and take it.
Okay, I'm going to stop and then start again for a second file on
the card and say, okay, this is Blake here with Jones and Joe,
we've been locked in the honeymoon suite at the shelter,
would in The previous recording on this is been just a lot of
ambient discussion from the residents and the people who
work here, we picked up a room and then the looks like the
required or locked us into our motel room and give us the wrong
key. At the very least if we're
giving him the benefit of the doubt.
We're now going to explore. Do you guys have anything you
want to add to this? This will be one of our official
documentation recordings here. I'm just that we encountered
something in the woods and what was that discussion?
What'd the sheriff say when he came in he was looking for
something. Something's going on?
Yeah, you didn't drink any of that drink.
Did you judge jump? Oh yeah I did.
Are you feeling okay? Jones is fucked up.
I mean yeah, I think so. Yeah.
It's it was a lot, a lot of booze and a lot of model fruit.
I don't think he finished the drink but he definitely had like
a few good steps of it, for sure.
Okay, it wasn't an old-fashioned but I mean, I guess it was
alcohol. So let's look around the room.
And Joe's going to record everything the bathroom but the
ceiling looks like the closet but we've already described the
space. So you take your camera out in
here, souping up and around it. You get the good view of the bed
of the mirrors and all of that. Other one robotics unexplored is
the bathroom. I believe Jones was going out
there. First of all, three of you
filter into the bathroom at the same time, I go in with him,
okay, I'll need help. I've been doing this alone for a
long time. I just want to see what's in
here first then you can relieve yourself if you want there.
Now, the bathroom is, as you would expect, it's pretty
cramped All Things Considered for, as large as the room is.
Comparatively, bathroom is fairly small.
Now, Large enough just for a double vanity, toilet standing
shower, it's covered in. Just the gaudy tile bathroom
itself. Probably a little more updated
than the rest of the room. However, you do feel a nice Cool
Breeze. Coming from an open window along
with the sound rain, continuing to pound outside.
It just sort of cracked ever so slightly and they use the window
large enough for the average sized person to fit through.
That's amazing, that's exactly my size some like hey guys,
there's There's a window open. Just is the windows on the back
side of the building, then this would be the fork.
Talking cardinal directions, the Western Ebola, like the outside
edge. Yeah.
And as Unique Peek out the window, you see, how can you see
that gas station? Sort of in the distance, but
it's kind of behind it. But a little bit like a
scattering, a tree is that separate these two kind of
establishments. Now, wouldn't the room number
one? Me out on the western side of
our because we're into. Right?
Yeah. There are they like, I have
mattered out. So they're all all.
So 1, 2 and 3, you guys are into it.
They're all connected on a little bit of a virgin.
It's more u-shaped than later. Okay, I got you.
Okay, I have a map. I just didn't think it was
relevant to share it with you guys.
I'd ruin. I understand now.
Yep. All right.
If you buy this official Adventure, here's the plug.
I should have said that at the start.
You can buy. This is all part of my mapping.
And you do get access to the PDF currently which has a map in it
that I need /. Okay.
So the the window kind of like leads out into that by stripper
and area. You see the gas station Beyond
and as the three of you were kind of like sitting in this
bathroom camera out staring at it.
You here just like act like a screech of bending metal echoing
from the distance. From that direction or from?
It's a little hard to tell given that's all coming in through
this one window, it does sound like it's coming from vaguely
where that gas station is, okay? I don't think that was a
mountain lion this time. No, that sounded like something.
Scratching metal. well, I mean Gives me the.
Check it out. You can put my Poncho over the
camera. Keep recording.
I mean I don't think we can all fit through this window.
Can we not the same time? How big is the window?
Josh average large enough for an average-sized person.
Oh yeah, you did say that I was, I was just already picturing in
my head, a small hotel room, bathroom window.
They're like this big Okay, yeah, yeah, I guess we'll give
him. He'll you know what actually
Pause. Guys.
It's very obvious that there's something weird going on.
In this place, aside from the weird noises.
I don't think we were locked in here on accident, and I don't
think that they would leave this window open on accident.
Or if they did. I don't know.
We should be careful. I mean, does but listen, I'll
concede the lockness in here, probably on purpose, but the
window I mean, does that guy seemed like he really knows
what's going on. Does he see my restaurant?
I'm just saying, I'm just saying we should be careful.
Don't climb out the window and leave half your body hang in
there, so they could drop a guillotine on your spine.
Like just, you know, That's why as a murderer now, I would set
up the hotel. Yeah.
Like I've read your blog so I know exactly what you would do
is murder. How did you find that?
That's not alive Journal. I mean, the same time.
Did you guys ever think that we'd go across the nation?
All these different places, chasing stuff like this and
actually find Does crazy Bonkers shit.
Like this mountain here at all. I'm thinking is just want to
make sure Toby survives and I reached out of my pet.
To me it's gonna be okay, buddy. Tony composer window.
I always hoped you'd find it, but now I'm kind of like, I kind
of wish I didn't find it is exactly what Jones has been
looking for. So yeah.
And John says that in third person, that's what Jones.
But I'm going to grab the outside and the inside and go
legs out and then like, you know, okay, I'm gonna go
headfirst and Tumble It's a bit quickly mantle out the window
evening. He pulled out a little bit.
Yeah the land on gravel that's behind it and look around seem
to be alone. You see anything out there?
so, All right, here, I'm going to hand you my mag light and
I'll be in the Maglite out to Jones.
And then I pulled it up. I don't even use as lav mic just
in case anyone comes around, I'ma beat the shit out of this
thing. I'm gonna start trying to climb
out next. Easy enough you're able to kind
of fly through and your feet land on gravel after a few
moments. Oh Joe, shut the light out.
Or should I leave it on? No, we want them to think.
We went to bed. Okay, I go turn off the light.
Take one last, look around the room at this uncomfortable room.
Imagining where all the cameras are that are watching us and
them pull off a backlight real quick just for a quickie.
Yeah, I didn't bring one of those but and then I walk.
Toby over to the back and I let Toby out the window as you
flick. The lights off.
You feel Toby tense up. I look around and the dark
Stark. He's see, boy, you get put up
feeling that you're being watched.
So you just have the lights on. Reflect the light on again on
the ground thing in here. And I flipped the light off
again. Make persists Toby's still, you
know, ears up. I look around.
I examine the room real quick for a light.
Do I see like a blinking light from like a fire detector?
Or I'm sure that there's probably something of that
regard that you have to have those for, you know, various
building codes. Yeah, we are.
And we're sure this place is definitely up to go. 100% out
the code above the board. They've definitely bleach the
sheets. Once I try to shake that feeling
and leave the light off and put Toby through the window, handing
Toby kind of over to Jones here, album down.
The window, don't let him fall. Toby is against warming, more
than he would have expected, but settles, after a moment, being
let down, okay? And then I felt myself through
the window, you can you bring the camera?
Yes. Yeah.
Well, I, I would probably hand it to you as well.
Yeah. Yes, be careful with that
Hunters. Are you standard catching?
Yeah, the three of you and Toby now sit outside of your room.
Again, as you look out here, on the back side of the hotel just,
you know, slatted building to your left and right behind.
You said, there's a little bit of a median between the hotel
and the gas station. You can kind of see the gas
station a little bit beyond. There is a little light coming
from it, but that certainly doesn't look like it's fully
illuminated. And then, like I said, it's a
scattering of trees and it's a, you know, like 50, 60, 70 yards,
between the back of this hotel, one where that gas station lies,
Yeah. Do we want to check out the gas
station? I think so, but we should, let's
look and let's see if we can see in the window of this cabin next
to us. Looking in their bathroom window
or another window in the bathroom window.
I know, it's just like sitting over there.
I have Toby watching my back, as I'm do just like taking a shit
reading like a fucking fucking no Woman's Day magazine.
Okay, you peek into the bathroom with your flashlight and kind of
get in there, maybe look with your camera.
Looks like a normal bathroom, it's clean.
Set up like, you know, like a hotel bathroom would be, would
expect it to be. Is it cleaner than our bathroom?
I would say it's as clean as your bathroom, your bathroom
wasn't liking price. So your brother wasn't dirty per
se. It's just the room was warm.
Warren with age and not Bears ated.
Yeah, it's not like somebody just stayed there and you're
you're walking into it so that the bathroom looks you know as
clean. It looks like somebody at least
wipe down recently, okay. It's does it look like
somebody's in, like, not in the bathroom, but somebody is
staying in that room, like, are there, like, is there a shaving
kit on the sink or toothbrush? No, personal effects that you
can see? And the bathroom door is shot
through the window probably open but only, you know, like so much
so that, you know, that it's open.
But not, there's the lights are off in that room.
There's nothing casting. And is this the room that has
the black SUV on the outside of it?
How'd the ribs that the red sedan Berkeley?
Yeah, Who's at the camera? Do you have the camera?
Yeah. All right, Joe.
Let's, let's record this part for the vodka, I'm going to go
up and walk around the front. Is there it?
Look I'm guessing that there's another window to the to the
room. At the very least through the
slotted windows. On the front side.
Is there any other is there glass windows anywhere else?
So the way the windows in the front are glass but they're like
those panel glass ones. Did.
Yeah. It's it's I don't know.
I can't really explain it because I can't.
I can see it in my head, but I can't even I got its, you know,
there's 12. 23 and they're skinny windows.
It's not that there. Oh, I got you, okay, yeah,
privacy screen or anything like that but you can kind of walk
around and you see the red sedan out there, parked in front
again, you see the windows there, the windows are designed
so that they provide privacy. Having a little bit of hint of
the nature of what you expect is going on to this hotel.
But so you can kind of Shine Your Light in the look but again
you're there. Like I said their designs that
you can't see into them, okay. I'm trying to like play this
like episode out to right. Like I'm trying to get footage
and stuff. I'm gonna tell Joe like, all
right, start rolling and we're going to, we're going to try and
get some like some descriptive narrative flow footage going
here while we while we figure out what's going on.
We can always we can always lay somebody over the top so you
don't have to necessarily describe anything that's going
on. I can just capture it.
Yeah, you do a voiceover later if I fuck stuff up.
Alright, that's my job. I'm the narrator.
Well, yeah, but I but I'm the correspondent.
So I have to talk on camera there, huh?
Okay. So, like it on starts following
like around. We've just, we've just want
hopped out of our. The room that we were trapped
in. We were locked in by our
proprietor here at the shelter would in.
And we are now investigating the surrounding cabins and the gas
station across the median of the highway.
This is the cabin that was directly next to ours and we're
gonna go see if anyone's inside. There's a car out front and I
like walk around the front like trying to be quiet for the real
world but also trying to like put on a show for the camera at
the same time, you know. And then I'm going to I know you
said we couldn't see in the glass but I'm still going to try
anyway just at the very the very Least for the camera, shake, you
take a quick peek. And again, you, you can see that
there are currents above it, except they're designed for
light to filter through, but not necessarily eyes.
And then what about the door is the door, have a peep hole, or a
any kind of like Little Triangle window or something in the top
I'm sure it has a people pretties new hotel but, you
know, David Lee designed to be, you know, looked out.
Not in. Yeah.
You were given a hotel key as well.
Oh yeah. Oh, a little tip.
Little little Ding-A-Ling on the exclamation point on the screen
and the video game. Yeah, I'll hold the key up.
Does it look like it's? What does it have a number on
it? I didn't even.
Yeah, they don't have numbers on it Otis.
Just put yours down on the counter.
Didn't hand it directly to you. I'll give me a log roll.
Let's see if it is that key. 118 is not that key.
Let's say it's just let's say it's roommate.
Okay. Perfect.
Well I guess I would just can't count.
I'm gonna just gently knock on the door.
Not loud but just like a gentle one knuckle.
Tap. You know, I can silence.
Jones like, okay and he knocks but now it's like end of the you
knock. Silence.
I try the handle stocked. Okay, I think we need to Mean, I
can go in through the window. Well what's in that?
What's in the? Let's look at this car real
quick and then we'll go back to the back of the bill.
Yeah, totally it does. The car is parked directly in
front or just near. I mostly in front like it's the
spot for this room. So I think John's gonna like
because I feel like that's like what your check out the car, you
have more in the open so I'm going to stay low and crank it
up next to the car and then go up and peek over the windows.
I see into the car without any one may be nearby being able to
see me. Seeing yeah, you peek into the
car and there's probably like a little air freshener hanging
from the mirror. There's a couple of like cans
shoved in cup holders. It's it's an older car.
It's hasn't been cleaned recently, but it's not like it's
full of trash, man. But outside of that, this
doesn't seem to be much personal effects.
This it look like it's been driven recently.
Yeah. I'm going to do the the found
footage thing where I'm going to point a Joe and I'm going to say
like get the get the shot there and then pull back and zoom in
on the main building like get that like I like zoom in.
Oh yeah I do the whole. Yeah what do I see over there?
As I zoom in of the main building.
You see. See the main little thing is the
lights are the lights to law, liked are still on in that
Lobby. Do I see anyone else walking
around this? You any movement, any headlight
aside from stress to you in the rain and I checked with Toby has
to be doing better than it was before.
Why were you freaked out of that room?
Wait what happened? Oh, I like before I left the
room, I turn the lights off and Toby kind of lost his shit.
Like some, he got his ears. Perked up some.
He noticed something, I felt like I was being watched.
I turn the lights back on. I couldn't see anything at turn.
The lights off again, and Toby did not like it.
And as Joe and Blake are having this conversation, Jones.
What are you doing? I'm trying to.
I'm trying to car doors and the trunk see Fayetteville open.
I love that. We're all like, Whispering roads
will be closed car. Don't remember where I put it.
You tried the doors trunk. They seem to be locked as you
would have expected for this car but as you try the trunk, you
look up and you swear, you see a shadow shift at the corner of
the building. Is it our building or the one
that we are out our room building or the one that we're
at you guys? Sorry, all three of these are
connected in one like building. It's just three separate rooms
within it that it's not like distinct.
Yeah building. Yeah they're not.
There are cabins. It's a motel, you know, he said
was one story, right? Yeah, once worry.
So when you say like in the shadow shifting in the corner
like I'm sorry. Around the corner.
So if you guys are sitting by the you guys would have had to
come out of your room, come around to the building, right?
And then get the car, the shadow moves like me swear, you saw a
shift like around a corner, you guys would have had to come
around. So it was if somebody was like
staring at you from around the side and moved then I take off
like trying to stay low but moving after shout out my
tongue. Oh can we go around the other
side? You can that's how long way
around here. On the short side, you're on
building water near room while going all the way around.
As you know okay try to kind of follow along after Jones just to
kind of capture the action. As soon as I see him moving
Mico, action shot and do the whole like following in behind
them. Kind of thing.
I'm going to not go with them. I'm going to like, just Almost I
guess jog, the other direction around the building.
While I pull my phone out and try and pull my, I'm going to
pull my video camera stuff up and with the flash enabled
however that I don't fucking know how it works on iPhone, but
it works. I know I've seen it so I'm going
to have that set up and I'm gonna start recording and I'm
going to keep the flash pointed against my jeans until I like
see something. So Jones and Joe you weren't
around the room Camera Action shop and you get around the
corner and there's nothing you shine the light, you see the
trees, you see the rain still coming down, you see no one.
Like his you're jogging around the other end as you begin to
crust around you here you know your compatriots run around and
they're gone. So, you go around.
As you are turning around the building, almost to the back
side, your voice. Almost as if they're sitting
right over your shoulder. He's going to steal your show,
you know? Who you turn?
Look in the snores. Yeah, I'm going to be like Who.
Whoo. Whoo.
And The Voice. You'll take all the credit.
So I'm not around the corner yet.
The second, the second corner I would have gone around.
I'm only around the first corner so I'm kind of like you look on
the side on the side, right? Yeah.
You're just about the crust into presumably to meet your group
again. Okay, so I'm like, right here,
I'm going to stop I am obviously spooked a little bit, but I am
on record, so I'm trying to keep myself professional.
Remembering this? I'ma say what who who who who is
going to take my show? I think, you know, Well.
I kind of chuckle a little bit because I feel a bit. a bit
like, I don't think, you know, kind of feeling because because
Jones is a fucking idiot and Joe just loves being behind the
camera. So, Who so who's gonna fucking
take my show? You say that out loud?
I think I'm going to say that aloud because Anka, because it's
like a kind of challenging. This like thing, you get no
response, however, Jones and Joe, you hear that kind of like,
as you're rounding, the building, you hear Blake's voice
say that. Okay.
It's not like it's close to you. You hear the echo because she's
like, you know, are on the edge of the building but still within
your shot. We press forward as soon as I
hear Blake's voice, I'm like, oh no, Blake might be in trouble
and kind of like push on. And I and I tell Toby, get go
get Blake Blake to like, go to Blake and Toby just takes off
toward a closer to Blake. You can hear the of the Gravel
the of Toby running in your direction at this point and
after a second the dog kind of like comes around the corner and
meet you. Hey boy, do you see anything?
Toby seems to be acting normal wegg tail wagging ready for
pets. I gave him a scruffy.
Scruff to be clear, I just want to clarify Hunter.
I don't actually think that you're an idiot, your character
and I you my character is kind of an idiot.
Oh, I know, but it's more of like a lovable.
Lovable friendship bullshit, like, you know, kind of thing,
but have you Jones cares? So, judges just there because
it's fucking free trips. Where else do you get to
experience? SpongeBob single his own agenda?
You know. Yeah, as the two round the
corner to catch up with the dog, I'm gonna I'm going to hit stop
on my on my phone and then pull up the video and as soon as they
come over, I'm going to be like, all right, guys, come listen to
this. You play it back and only hear
your voice. What the fuck?
You think. I'm an idiot?
Yeah, dude. Of course you are like even
fucking Toby thinks you're an idiot.
Like come on, he's like angry. And he's like, okay, fine, yeah,
you're right. Okay.
Jesus. What the fuck?
And I like, I like play it again.
And I turn the volume all the way up, and I put it up to my
ear and I'm assuming still the same as your voice.
Hey, I got, I got a suggestion. Everybody kill your lights.
And as everybody turns off their lights, I flip the camera on to
night mode 9. Yeah.
So some some cameras, especially ones that that we, you know, you
take on a debts to gate of ghost paranormal, whatever's will have
a really terrible. Absolutely terrible night,
vision mode, not not good for anything more than like 10 15
feet, but all I'm doing is just turn it on.
Trying to see if one thing that it is particular good etching is
like, weird light reflection anomalies essentially.
So all I'm doing is like sitting where we are just doing a quick
pan to see if anything like pops up.
Probably, don't see anything. Do I see anything unusual and it
would be okay if I had as a function of my camera as you
filter back and forth in the tri-level, you catch briefly the
shine of eyes I pause on it, it's there for a second and then
it's gone. I just got eyes on the tree line
over there and point in the direction.
Yeah, it could be an animal, could be.
Let's go check it out. As we're going.
I think, as you were painting, I was explaining like yeah, I saw
a shadow go around the corner. I wanna I'm also going to be
talking Whispering very quietly. What what I heard is something
was talking to me. And telling me one of you is try
and take over the show us what he wanted.
You want to show. Do you want to do one of you
really? Like I don't think that you do.
Oh yeah. Blake because I want to be
interviewed on on camera. That's exactly what I want.
No, no no, of course not. Okay, I'm not even sure what I'm
talking to shoot these kind of shows anymore.
I'm I just got my degree. I barely like show and it's my
fucking show. So like I that's why I think
he's deadly, raising our voices, I think we do.
We sure I think the tree line I know there's that there's
potentially Bears mountain lions.
I don't want to deal with that again, I don't know.
So now there's potentially mountain lions before it was a
dumb idea. Let's wait, let's.
All right, let's stop, let's stop and think.
Okay. And let's figure out what's
going on here. We, we were going to go to the
gas station because we heard that noise right?
Yes sir. We were leaving leaving the
room. Still you said that.
There was you said Joe that there was something in our room.
Yeah. Toby noticed something in the
room freaked him out what you couldn't see it when you try.
It won't Saint. I couldn't see it.
You just saw eyes on the night vision. when all of our lights
were off, Yeah, I didn't turn the camera to night mode in the
room. Okay, why don't we?
I want to be clear, I'm whisper. I'm like saying this extremely
quietly trying to make sure that if anything is near us, it's not
able to really be here US unless it's standardized tools.
Why don't we just give up and go towards the gas station?
But Joe, keep your camera on night mode facing behind us.
Like hold it down by your, your hip Okay, I can swivel swivel.
The viewfinders. Yeah.
And I can swivel the viewfinder. Okay, let's go.
All right, clearly, there's nothing here.
Let's just let's just fucking go to the gas station and see
what's over there and maybe we'll find something.
I say, loudly walk out into the road or you cut to the tree
line. I won't cut the tree line.
Yeah, I think I still want to make me give the appearance that
we're trying to hide from the people.
So Tree Line. Okay, well I keep I keep Toby
really close to me the sake of brevity you quickly.
Trudge across it. You realize that about halfway
through the median. It dips down into this Basin
water, retention ditch, something like that.
That's just full of phragmites. You have to kind of like walk
down into it like you're sopping through the water at
supersaturated dirt at this point, crawl up out, the other,
it's an embankment and you on, you're already wet.
Now you're a little bit more web.
And, you know, you find yourself walking now onto the pavement of
where this gas station is. And it says, you expect, you
know, there is a convenience store, it's not 7-Eleven but it
probably has like a very similar branding on their nice, big
glass windows. I kind of wrap around the front
of it. It's a cinderblock building, it
is officially called the right? And ready.
There is a little high school. Fish.
Three, two one. There is a rusting canopy that
sits right in front of the shop. And that's where the, you know,
the little island where the gas pumps is currently situated.
There is like one bulb holding on for dear life.
That's kind of Illuminating. That little like, pump area.
You also see attached to the convenience store is a single
car, like a mechanic's garage. It's kind of jutting out into
there but she did send the lights are on inside the gas
station. Oh no.
So there is one single light at the pump.
Okay. Well you know it's like a little
island with a little overhang over the top.
It's like I said this probably were more bulbs in there but
like I said, it's one light holding on for dear life.
At this point terrifying and I tried the door, the gas station.
The main door, you can see it's above a glass.
Door is probably got like, the little metal like slats run up
and in between it. Maybe some people to get over
it. There's a sign in front, the
still too close and as you jiggle the door, it's locked.
Mmm, Quigley here. This I look at the Maglite and I
look at the glass door. They look at the mad guy, and I
look over it. But I grabbed his, I grabbed his
hand and just Not yet please. As that's going on, I'm facing
the other direction behind us. Looking through the camera
camera. I think you are scanning and
scanning, and You swear you catch another glint of eyes?
That's too quick for you to really notice.
Take a deep breath. I check with Toby that's Toby
doing Toby is not like at attention but it's definitely
like stressed. Mmm.
Something is nearby. Not not right.
On us. There's something up there.
Definitely. A Toby doesn't like.
And you run the playback on the recordings from since we walked
over here. Yeah.
I walk into the kitchen, I walk Under The Canopy and I pull it
back and go through the viewfinder, kind of find the
exact moment nothing there. I screamed back a little bit
further to to like, where I saw the eyes from across the way, at
the, at the tree line. Or as you can tell nothing on
tape. I scroll back all the way to
when we were in the bar and I want you get those
conversations. They'll just tell yourself,
okay? Then I put it back all the way
to current and kind of go back to scanning our surroundings a
little bit. Nothing nothing.
I'm gonna go walk around the back, actually.
No. I'm gonna go look into the
mechanics Bay and see if I can see anything in there.
How about Jones and Blake you guys follow and Joe or you?
Doing something else. They're not gonna let me break
this door so I'll follow Joe. I didn't say I would let you
break it. I just said wait, okay, you can
bring it later. If you need to you guys follow
around in the garage is on the side of the building closest to
the hotel, but it makes sense. It's the Eastern side if you
care about it. But guess what?
Around again, it's a addition to the building, its cinderblock
there's a roll door that goes over the bay, the garage that
rolled off. Or has a couple of those things.
I don't know squared windows that you can kind of like peak
in you look in and you see it's a single Bay.
There is a butter grease that's kind of staining the floor.
There's a to post a lift system that takes up most of the center
but it is currently unoccupied. So there's no car in here at the
boat or anything. It's open.
We so like it's open. We can see in the window.
Oh. Okay.
There's a roll-down door in the Front and it's kind of Windows
and you guys you're peeking in, you can see the walls are lined
with workbenches. Most of them are covered in like
Rusty tools and various parts of vehicles.
Just kind of haphazardly scattered.
You do, see a door in the back, presumably that leads into the
rest of the building there. There's a door in the back.
You want to check it out. We saw the door through the
window. Right?
So yeah, this point. Yeah, we have to okay, I'll
circle around to the back of the building then Got there's a door
in the back of the garage. Yes, there's and presumably.
There's also a back of the building that you can go to.
If that's let's go around the back to building.
Anyway. Yeah, check out.
Anyway, okay, as you crust around past the garage, you do
see that there is a back door. I'll talk about that in a second
but as you get around the corner, you see is parked behind
the garage is tow truck. Huh.
Yeah, it's got its all its feet up its had paint.
That was read at one point but it sure shitting.
Now, Russ coats, most of the outside does look like a tow
truck then outside of that. Okay, sick.
So I thought they said took wasn't here tonight. you, who
was it, George Yeah. Okay.
Right. I take a moment and I actually
flick all the way back to the bar room conversation.
And I find where they say the name, where the sheriff says,
the name of the tow truck driver.
Well, if you're talking about the sheriff's of George shares
to George, let me bust in charge.
Okay. Well, I didn't say that the
sheriff said, George. Wait, Hold on no uses.
I asked you. Yeah, I lied.
Ha. Ha, ha, wait.
So when we went, oh, this was talking to us.
What did he say? Listen Hank.
You could scrub, back, the tape to find that sure.
I hmm, and I'm just like Okay cool.
Look back to to current and begin scanning.
Say more. I knew there was something
fucking weird. I knew I was like, oh my God.
So man. I just want to make it clear
that I was lying there. But yeah, yeah, well no, I got,
I just remember, I could remember what order and Hood.
We asked who, and who didn't match up, right?
I'm taking a really not good enough.
So okay, so what do you do? You see that tow truck back
there? There's presumably the back
door. The Establishment to?
Alright, that's Hank. George's, tow truck.
Yeah. Or just eating at random.
I'm gonna try the back door to the gas station.
I'm gonna look over the truck. I'm gonna look in the truck and
see if the keys are in the truck.
Okay, we'll do the truck first, you know, if you go and reach
the door and the door opens, Interior is well-worn and you
can like even just open the door which is the Rica cigarette
smoke. Does the light come on, open the
door. I don't know if it's a new
enough truck. Still have that feature?
A little beat-up piece of shit tow truck and my 85 Ram. 50 had
lights that came on. So fair enough.
Um, no, I'd say, no, the lights. Don't come on.
All right, any dinging like the keys are in the thing and or
there or there's a there's a switch that's turned on.
When you open the door it will give you an alert.
No, nothing security system wise.
I thought you're talking about. See if the keys are in the
ignition. We should know feel above the
sun visor. You know we would spots.
Yeah the keys drop from the visor they do.
Oh fabulous. What the fuck do I do now?
I've had a lot of tequila so now I'm like wait what the fuck do I
do now? Yeah, you're not going great
opportunity. This is it just car keys or I'd
say it's just the car keys. In this case is that you know
what, maybe not. Let's say that they're full set
or wearing a couple different keys on there.
I know this there surprised like, okay, does the truck
start? Just donkeys, like a keyring.
Do you guys wanna try the door? Yeah, I'll hand you the keys.
I started to drive the truck. Well, not yet but my thought is,
let's get the fuck out of here, but okay, but before we do that,
I grabbed the keys and put it into the ignition and turn it to
pre-fire so it doesn't turn the engine on.
But gives me some kind of indication that there is one
power and that the the truck repair enough.
Yeah. You could no indication.
This, the battery's dead. Maybe there isn't a George or,
or a hank at all. I mean, I think we are.
I think we gathered. Yeah, that's right.
I think I'm I, so I'm going to take the keys and I'm gonna try
the back, try the whatever Keys, run around the back door.
So, as you go, when you grab the keys and start heading back, you
know, it's a little bit further around toward the back door is
So you don't need them. Back door itself, it's one of
those probably more if I could aluminum or metal door.
Yeah, the back of the establishment here it's swinging
open on its hinges. The door itself is cocked and
you can see the doors bent as it was pulled back.
What the fuck? I say in character and out of
character. I like I Scurry back over to the
group. I'm like guys look that's what
was bending that. It's the door.
Look, Joe's going to walk over and examine the door.
Wait, sorry. Is it been out or in out?
Ah, That's not good and he walks over with the camera to view the
door are there. Claw marks is their tool, marks
the door is bent and it is scratched up.
I immediately run out of the camera and I start like in my
like camera mode. Like Okay, it looks like that.
This door was torn open From the Inside by some kind of, I don't
even know of some kind of creature.
Look at look at the size of these scratches and I'm gonna
gesture for Joe to give all Yazoo, get a zoom in on the
scratches, you know. And at the same time I'm just
like, yeah, this is fucking crazy about saying anything just
like doing my job. What kind of creature could have
made these? Is it a Cryptid?
We have to find out. And then I go back out of camera
mode. I'm like what the fuck is going
on here? Yeah I like that a cigarette.
My climbing I feel like the only Direction now is forward.
I step through the door. Mag light on flashlight.
Big lights Point around. I'm getting action shots.
Are you cross the threshold into this establishment and do you
find yourself in the back room? This is a crimson in the back
rooms. The room itself is filled with
various but sealed boxes or Goods because he's a small desk
like a break area. The walls are like unfinished,
like somebody didn't paint them back here.
So typical retail back room type of space.
However, the room Self is pretty trashed scattered.
Goods you seek and drinks on the floor chip bag.
Some open, some just on the ground.
It's like a car jack that somebody had put there.
That's been kind of kicked off to the side.
A little kind of strewn about into the floor.
You do see that there's a doorway that leads into the
shop, puts either into this back room area though.
I might I'm like, none for the mother to keep going.
Joe takes a moment to look around for like a weapon.
Like, they're bad or like a, like a tire lug.
You see the handle to the carjack that you could easily
pop off? Okay, I pop it off and like,
ended, stick it into my overalls.
My overalls probably has like a big enough pocket, like stick it
in the front of and they're about APA.
You want to track its As a weapon but he said it's okay.
But later So we put a goal. We really don't want to get
enough. I'd then I know I know, right?
Forward into the store, the lights are off but see the
Interiors neat rows of shelves filled with very snack goods and
whatnot. You can kind of see here in the
back room is probably like a refrigerated wall like
immediately to your left as you walk through the door, the
lights are all off there, but you can hear the hum of the
refrigeration still operating. You can see the glass window
with the front. The light is kind of streaming
in from that one, bulb humps. But as you enter the space, you
just hear this on warrant. Sound appears to be coming from
somewhere within the room. And Toby.
Almost growling. Like, In the like little 13.
Growl wine. Yeah.
You guys look around with the flashlight.
Do you move past? Where your ears ground for the
back corner? Do you mean you're Scouting
Around? You see, nothing outside of like
shelves and whatnot. There's a little bit of signs of
spillage, you know, a couple of bags in the ground and stuff
here. Yes, I move forward, move
forward, the rest to follow. I'm keeping him in camera frame,
trying to look at what he's looking at.
Yeah, I'm going to be behind Jones, I think so.
The three of you being to push forward and as you inch closer,
Toby, just her openly growls, Not that noise, the squelching
stops. I have a pack of business cards
in my pocket. I'm going to say that there's
250 because that's usually beat the amount that you get in an
order. I'm going to pull them out of my
purse as Toby's growling and just make a judgment call based
on where Toby's like nose is pointed and like what is Bomb
what does in that direction? Like how far, how how much
distance is between Toby and the wall?
So to sit say or in a large object, like a car or a toolbox
or something? This sounds It seems to be
coming from like the center of the room and it's the
convenience store, so it's not terribly big, All Things
Considered. So you're you know, 30 feet from
The Sound Source. Presumably, okay, I'm going to
take the lid off the Box, pull the entire chunk of business
cards out of the box and just like run forward and curl, the
whole entire cluster of business cards, in the middle of the room
to run forward. You Throw you as you feet start
hitting the ground, you hear the shape of scraping of the floor.
I thought that was shotguns and I was like, Wow, and the sound
appears to be trailing away from you as you scatter the card,
They sort of rained out in the center.
You hear the crash of glass as the front of the store shatters.
and then after a moment, the glass settles and it's silent
once more and you weren't around and Well, I'm frozen like what
the fuck did we get eggs? Do we get sha that?
I as I like try to like see what's going on out there?
As soon as it's whatever it is is gone.
I pulled down. Bring up the viewfinder and see,
did I see anything? Did I catch any of what that
was? Was it big?
You had to be big to break that glass.
Yep. Just like you caught something
but it moves, and The frame so quick and looks like a blur of
like black that just kind of like it's at the bottom of your
frame. You called just a little bit of
it. I'm gonna have to take this back
to a workstation and enhance it. I can't see enough.
Having viewfinder enhance. What the?
What was it eating? I even start recording again and
like move into the center of the room.
Will through you move from there I'm already in the middle of the
room that's right through the cards.
Yeah he was thrown the cards and you probably had like one more
aisle to go before you got there but I presumably you prying them
and the scraping had started to happen before you had even
though I got close, it was sort of the the sound of your feet
was a triggered it, but you kind of peek around the corner you
see? See it's dark in here.
It's a mass on the ground. Most of the way down the aisle.
Business cards. Now scattered around around the
corner with the Maglite back, what you put it on and you see a
body on the ground and it is worn to shreds.
Human human sitting there. You see the remains of like a
blue pair of coveralls. A person kind of splayed out.
They would have been faced up and it's Brad there's like
spiders of blood all up and down the aisle here.
Don't you take another stress. Seems like we found Hank,
George. Or yes, Hank or George or
somebody else. What's his name tag?
Say you go up to him? Yeah, I will if you reached out
to touch him or do you just try and Shine the Light down?
I mean, it kind of see where his name tag is, or do I need like
folders clothes? Um, you look down and you see
Dave written on the tag of a shirt.
Wasn't even, fucking close was even plus motherfuckers, I'm
close. Well.
Jones. I mean Joe, you guys have the
same fucking name. Um, When you were talking to the
sheriff, he's you seem like an actual Sheriff, right?
Yes. Far as I could tell.
Said said that there were bears, but that couldn't have been a
bear. Well, no, it's invisible.
I don't know. But I don't know of invisible
Bears. We haven't investigated that
kind of thing yet. I mean this, but also like, if
the county sheriff didn't know the name of this tow truck
driver, Then, I don't think that guy was really a sheriff, but if
Jones was Joe was talking to him at and he was given all the
right answers and that's a sheriff.
Yeah, I think Sheriff. Look, he must be an actual
Sheriff. This is a real mystery.
It's deeply look. Now the dogs scoop.
Yeah, it was a neck brace. I definitely grab something off
of the shelves and I saw, I'm curious this space.
It doesn't look like this is actually been used resources
like clean in here. Is there dust on things?
Like yeah, it was and theory and active convenience store up
until tonight, you know. Okay, all right.
Well, I grab I grab a couple of Hostess cupcakes and it's slap
one of my mouth. And then I get some beef jerky,
for, for toey to just like and I also grab some water.
I grab some water, please. And then I look through that,
that convenience store for useful items flares, any kind
they, they gotta have, like, Mountain, like, like convenience
for like, oh, your car kind of stuff a jacket because it's cold
shotgun. I think Logan great reasonably,
find everything, but the shotgun, damn it.
Come on. Josh Jones is going to catch his
breath in the back. Like take a deep.
Breath. Calm down.
You can heal your HP. Thank you.
Yeah, that's kind of what I'm doing with the food to is is
kind of like stretching you guys.
Take a moment to pause and you're looking through things
your theoretically safe, you can heal your ex or exp your HP.
At this point, you're able to kind of gather up some supplies
here. You would have imagined this,
this convenience stores, full all sorts of like garbage.
You know, he definitely does all sorts of gas stations, should
weird pills. Feels just weird foods supplies
that no one on Earth would ever need.
But for some reason are here so you can find you know, a jacket
or hoodie or something like that.
That's fine. I'm actually going to go rifle
through Dave's pockets and see if he's got a wallet on him
because I want to see an ID you reach down What?
Dave over to get to his back pocket.
Sure. You reach down.
And have you ever touched a corpse before now?
Oh, he did. You put anything on your hands?
Gosh. I try not to get blood on me,
but I guess if he's just covered in blood.
I could I could find something in here to not touch it.
The blood with because I wouldn't want to touch blood.
That's that's right. I wouldn't touch.
So you maybe got another jacket or something and go.
Yeah and I look them over dig into his pocket.
Pull out a wallet you flip it open, you see an ID it is you
know Dave Masterson or something like that on there has a couple
bucks tucked in. According heart.
Not really worried about the money.
I just wanted to see his name. Does it say he lives in cold
water? There's probably an address that
somewhere around here. I don't know if its cold water,
exactly, but it's close. All right, I capture is
information like I digitally capture his information.
He was a wall back. Yes pick one and you slide it in
and as you push up against his back pocket you swear you feel
the body twitch. Are you dead, Dave?
I hope your dad because I don't know if I could perform
resuscitative services on you. You hear a voice as if it's only
read over your shoulder. They're going to blame you, you
know? Why would they blame me for
this? You said we are him said that.
I would say yes to fit with the rest of the theme.
Yeah, I like look down at my hands.
I'm like, unless I chewed him up.
Why would why would they think I did this?
And I look over my shoulder, it. Who who, who?
Who said that? What did you just hear somebody
talking to you? Yeah, they said they were going
to blame me. What did the voice sound?
Like and he describes the voice and it sounds exactly the same
as the boys I heard, I'm assuming.
Oh, yeah, okay, that's the same voice.
That was telling me that you guys one of you two was going to
Steal My Show now and I heard the voice yet.
Nobody cares about you, Jeff. I care about you Jonesy.
She may think you're an idiot but you're aren't.
You are? You're the crew, the crew idiot.
The Court Jester. He's the group him Bo.
Yeah, ambos of myth and oh, I can't, I can't do that knowing
that. We have a fairly short amount of
time left within our block here. What do you guys do?
Oh yeah, we're about to. I feel like we mean we're gonna
have to find a way to get a car to get out of here.
So I think we have to go back to the hotel and those are, what
was our issue with the van? The van got stuck in the mud,
right? Yeah.
At this point, I just want to get out of here.
So we'll take the other van. Is there a winch Emmanuel, winch
anywhere in this. In this, in the garage, one of
those ones that you can like latch on to a church.
Like it has a hook on both sides and a crank.
Um, in theory, there's probably some form of rope or books or
whatever. I don't know if there would be
that specialized piece of equipment and I don't know if
Blake would, you think Blake would know to look for something
like that? No, look there with the curvy
would. I don't think we want to be
outside with that thing. I think we need to decide what
monsters, we want to deal with. Do we want to deal with those
monsters back at the hotel that looked like humans, but I don't
know what is up with them or that thing out there or this
thing talking in our heads? Hey, Josh Boone, we're heading
over here to we see if the could we see if the deputies little
cop, mobile was still outside the hotel.
Yeah. It was still there when he goes
off in the PAW Patrol mobile. Yeah.
All right here. Let's why don't why don't we do
this? Let's head back to the room.
I feel like we can't really investigate much else without
drawing a lot, more attention to ourselves.
Let's head back to the room. Lock up the window.
We'll set up some cameras and some recording devices and we'll
take some shifts sleeping for the rest of the night and we'll
see what happens from there. We'll try and regroup in the
morning because we got to get some rest.
I mean, Blake is literally falling asleep, but she's like
also terrified. Oh yeah, I don't think Joe could
sleep at this point. He's yeah, like absolutely
terrified. No.
Get sick of brevity goes. Quickly filter out of the yeah
the gas station, you find your way back to the hotel and as you
are like, rounding the corner to bike, head back to your room.
You see the door, the Lobby's open, light is just streaming
out. Well, we have to fucking, look
at it. Let's go, guys, we go.
You quickly run back into the lobby.
You, I'm did abandon. There's nobody there.
Nobody at the bar. it's no sign of the, you know, the folks that
were in here the four of them and then you hear a muffled,
Gunshot, or pop, presumably gunshot.
It's hard to tell this muffle. There's a poem sound.
What direction? Yeah.
Hard to tell from deeper within the hotel itself.
It's not the lobby inside not ins, not outside.
Okay, yeah. And then a second, there's signs
of scaffolding by the bar. Nope.
Well, the police are here in the
lobby. Was there a door behind the
front desk? There was one towards the back
of like the main room here. Presumably it.
Maybe even was labeled like, you know, employees only, let's go.
We head for that door and I'm about to push the open.
Quickly, run back. You push it.
Open the front door, the back door.
You find yourself in a service Corridor.
Again, it's another one of those unfinished, wall type of deals.
Here, there are several Dusty boxes.
You see You adore just saying this at the hallway, the
presumably leads to another room and then you see, you know, up
set of stairs that lead down into a basement.
Oh Joseph, pull up here, pull up your camera.
Get your best filter on. And I'm going to, I'm going to
go into a pitch mode here. Okay, I'm up, we're live.
We just heard some gunshots coming from deeper within this
hotel room. We've been investigating some
weird instances at this place all night, and I think that
something might have happened here.
Follow us as we have, we figure out what's going on here, and
I'm going to start walking down the stairs quickly, but as
quietly as possible, followed by the two Lads, and the pup I
assume followed by the two Lads in the public.
Oh yeah, we're following here. All right.
So you you creep down the basement stairs and you end up
down in there and the basement is office and nobody here,
presumably you see shelves, you see extra Furniture EC supplies
of food stuff. Snow noise until you hear more
muffled voices. Which drag not this room
seemingly from down. Come down further apparently so
but there's no stairs. You quickly scan the room you
see on the ground is like a sewer manhole cover type of
deal. One of those metal circular
covers. It is slightly.
Ajar maybe there's a crowbar. Kind of shoved into it.
I whisper to Jones as Joe. I'm gonna make this thing.
Joe, keep that camera going and we pull them, lift it up and try
and keep it as quiet as possible.
Moving into the side, you will unearth a little passageway down
to show you the cistern down there.
You probably recognize the shape of it.
You know, the manhole cover. There's a ladder that leads down
you here. Her voice has a little bit
louder this time and it sounds like Otis and it's not know.
I'm supposed to be the office right now, please, please.
Joe you go down first and then get the shot of me coming down
the ladder with Jones, but just make sure everything is okay.
First obviously don't like just go down by yourself.
Well, he is the word. He, I mean, I'm I'm trying to be
safe, but I'm also trying to produce a show here.
Come on, guys. Okay.
I sling, I, I stick the camera into my pack and I push Toby
towards Jones. I say, make sure he doesn't do
anything silly. Um when I start to climb down
the ladder he coined on the water.
It's so short a couple steps. Okay.
And I click down on this metal walkway.
You get a quick glimpse of the room.
You see. It's an old like brickwork.
It's a cistern. It's meant to hold water beneath
this hotel. Presumably before the modern
plumbing. You hear the drips of rain water
filtering in from conveyance pipes and it extends a pretty
good distance. Probably under most of the hotel
here. It's a quick view but you're
letting your other folk it down. Now I I set the camera up to
like View and then immediately and just like turn around the
other direction looking around, making sure nothing like
sneaking up on me. We'll assume that Toby's up top
because bringing a dog down into this area, probably not a good
idea, it's not a good idea, but in short order Jones, Blake,
you're down the ladder. You're looking around.
He can you see the cisterns a little bit of a walkway?
A at extends above basically a bunch of water.
It was probably three feet of water.
Down to the bottom of the sister and here, and as you're moving
the lights about One we're going to end and a little bit of a
cliffhanger here because we're just about um, yeah and now but
I will tell you what, you see your lights seemed to dim and
swirl as you look about the ceiling and then you your lights
kind of convey convinced convenient, that's the word on
her, just figure down in the water backing up, you hear the
sloshing. You see the sweater of Otis as
he's backing up and he's not using any acknowledged.
The lights. But the water is swishing.
You see the ripples moving forward.
As Shadows shift and move and pulse and push forward towards
Otis. You see suspended within this
deep black shifting moving mound of mold.
Is a small stuffed lion, just coated in black Mound.
That is Shifting and moving forward.
And Otis is backing up. He's going again to do it.
No, no. This this was supposed to be my
office week. I was in meant for it.
The others were the field team, they just needed a body, please,
you can leave me alone, and the, the mound just surges forward
and you hear out as yell out as at Wong envelops him.
And splash down into the water. Now, the point I'll leave you on
after a moment of silence. Rising up from the water, you
see the four individuals, the priest, the sheriff Lotus, the
businesswoman just up from the water.
All of them. Now, sort of just almost
dripping in Black Shadows, even in your light, And all four turn
and stare up at you in unison. As the mound forms up behind
them. That's where we will end tonight
session. Yo fuck that shit.
Oh my God, this has been one night at the shelter, would in
we've just played the liminal horror side now.
He said this is a dual Adventure, there is a triangle
agency side. Which viewers will see tomorrow
