 Spring of 2010 my family and I are traveling to Oregon and we stopped by a Spoopy motel off the side of the road. The whole place was weird because it wasn't a single building It was actually a bunch of little buildings surrounding a play area. The air was moist The trees were barren, the paint was chipping off the walls I've been watching ghost adventures for months with my dad, so I already knew what was up We loaded our stuff into the room and I was watching Phineas and Ferb on their massive TV It was like one of those old-timey ones. We had to hit it to make it work. Staring out the window I could see a storm brewing outside on the horizon. This is it. I told my ten-year-old self quietly I'm gonna catch a McFreakin ghost. I had my voice recorder set on my phone I knew all the questions to ask the ghost from TV. The setting was plenty creepy now All I needed was like an actual ghost I walked into the lobby like a natural Zach Baggins and I just straight up asked the lady at the front desk Hey, has anyone been murdered here? She looked to me with big eyes and was like, oh, yeah Apparently the owner had been shot and killed in that very lobby during a robbery five years prior The killer was caught and was spending a life sentence in prison and the lobby was completely Recarpeted and painted. The family sold the motel since it held such horrific memories for them and the murder completely rocked the community The owner was super beloved by a lot of people and he did a lot of good stuff in his community It was just a really tragic story So after hearing all of this the first words out of my ten-year-old mouth was can I spend the night in the lobby and See if it's haunted the answer was a really abrupt no, but that didn't stop me on my desperate hunt I was gonna prove to myself that the paranormal was out there and end up scaring myself half to death in the process I was gonna become famous in a millionaire and show the haters I was gonna be featured on MTV is the ghost boy and talked to the Ellen show and have my own Netflix series and drive a Ferrari And I sat alone in the living room of our condo reading a book I was waiting until about 1155 or so to start asking all the serious questions all the lights were out Everybody was asleep except for me. It was a stroke of midnight and I got chills. I could feel it It was hashtag real spoof hours. I started investigating. Is there anyone here with me? I Got nothing. Are there any spirits in the room with me? Hey, if you're here, can you show me a sign? Can you make something move or make a noise? The bathroom door just slammed shut for no reason my ten-year-old heart did a backflip But in the bad way I was frozen on the couch that was sleeping on it All I heard was the gentle hum of the AC outside the window The TV flipped on then Easton Ferb came on and the remote was across the room Mom woke up and got mad at me for turning on I tried to explain to her They was pretty much impossible for me to turn on since remote was over there and I'm right here But she was too sleepy to really follow me since she'd been driving the whole day Then I did something I hadn't done in years. I hid under my blanket It took me hours to go to sleep after that and every bump I heard freaked me out The following morning. I was exhausted. We just packed all of our stuff and went into the main lobby There was a different girl working at the front desk mom was setting all these papers and stuff And I just casually hung over the counter and was like hey I'd like to report in haunting the woman at the front desk demeanor totally shifted She got super intense and looked at me and I described what happened after I was done She nodded and looked at me and said yeah, I believe you mom kind of asked why is something wrong The lady kind of shakes her head the owner of the motel who was murdered in that lobby That day was his 50th birthday now in hindsight was it a ghost? Probably not, but it's a pretty cool story with the neat coincidence turned a mixed nonetheless either my entire understanding of human consciousness Life and death and basic biology are completely incorrect and the entire scientific community is dead wrong on the subject And it is possible for human spirits to linger let alone exist Or a guest of when close to the bathroom door and electric surge turned on the TV I'm not much of a believer in ghosts, but they're a lot of fun to drop Hey, just a heads up that every video this month is gonna be spoopy for October I have a few secret projects in mind coming up that I'm super excited to share with you And you can be kept in the loop by clicking that subscribe button and hitting the bell So you'll be notified in the meantime you should probably follow me on Twitter Don't follow me on Facebook because nothing happens on Facebook.
