And so at least we have this shirt to keep us company and to make that face at us.
00:03:40.460
Also, guys, early access to tickets to Bohemian Grove when they drop.
00:03:44.560
And right now we're looking at, you know, kind of the first week of March.
00:03:52.780
Joining us today for the second time to talk about a woman who got lost in a water tower.
00:04:03.980
Before we get into the conversation, why don't you tell everybody where they can find you?
00:04:08.500
The Rabbit Hole Conspiracy Theories, basically wherever you are looking for a podcast or the rabbit or rabbit dot hole podcast everywhere social media wise.
00:04:18.460
So I can see that you like there's a girl thing.
00:04:23.400
And the girl thing is having that innate ability to take your camera, put it in vertical and do like a tick tock style video.
00:04:39.440
I'm throwing it into Opus Clip and letting it do its thing.
00:04:41.900
And then I just automatically post that onto social media.
00:04:47.100
Sometimes I do like just take a video if I'm like, oh, shit, I forgot to post on social media today.
00:04:50.940
So then I'll like take a video and throw it up there.
00:05:12.220
And the other day she was here and she goes, you know what?
00:05:15.060
Why don't we just make like some a clip right now?
00:05:19.300
And then she just sits in the corner and lifts her phone up.
00:05:21.300
And I swear to God, I've never been more nervous.
00:05:24.320
I've been on stage with Sam Tripoli, Owen Benjamin.
00:05:27.840
I would have been more comfortable if she was holding a gun.
00:05:43.680
So guys, go and follow Danny on all social medias.
00:05:48.740
And by the way, the last episode that we had you on, really well received.
00:06:17.060
So the last episode that we had you on was really great.
00:06:20.620
And actually, if I'm not mistaken, it might have been the first episode we did in the new studio.
00:06:33.720
And we were talking about, I believe it was Atlantis, right?
00:06:46.860
Back when we were threatening the lives of everybody at Blue Letter Bible.
00:06:52.600
So we've patched things over and, you know, God bless them.
00:06:57.620
But so what you were mentioning on the way out was this idea of the Cecil Hotel.
00:07:06.020
I know there's a lot of mysterious circumstances surrounding a woman who kind of seems to be in
00:07:12.040
distress, goes missing for a time, and then is found in really mysterious circumstances.
00:07:19.080
And it's a fascinating one, goes viral all the time, believe even my wife was, I caught
00:07:32.240
I had heard about it because it is, it's a fantastic story.
00:07:35.480
And there's so many sort of loose ends, you know, from the video footage of the woman,
00:07:42.600
Someone's following her to ultimately where they find her.
00:07:53.560
So where should we start in regards to this strange story?
00:07:58.440
I think that we should start with like the Cecil Hotel in general, because there have been
00:08:03.540
It feels like a very demonic place because there's so many people there that have gone
00:08:10.860
And in a lot of cases, they weren't suicidal before they stayed at the Cecil Hotel.
00:08:15.520
And then they would just like show up and kill themselves.
00:08:19.740
You're like, okay, like what's happening here that like really caused it to be deadly?
00:08:27.740
Like I, we were trying to figure out why people were going there to kill themselves.
00:08:33.420
And a lot of people like chalk it up to, well, they were just suicidal.
00:08:38.300
But that doesn't, doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me, especially like when you start
00:08:56.540
So I guess like statistically, maybe there could have been that many deaths and it was just
00:09:04.000
Although here at the rabbit hole, we don't believe in coincidences and I'm sure you guys
00:09:10.420
What'd you say it was, it was made in the, I'm looking at it.
00:09:14.140
So already by 1927, you have the first recorded.
00:09:21.280
I mean, that's, even that alone is pretty shocking.
00:09:23.640
I mean, the place had only been around for three years.
00:09:25.860
And then you have another one in 31 and 32 and 34, 37.
00:09:29.200
Like you've got deaths, like it feels like every year you have at least one suicide.
00:09:41.180
I don't remember the location, but there was like a certain cove.
00:09:44.260
It was like off of a pit stop and people would go there and not suicidal at all and just get
00:09:51.380
And I think the authorities determined that it had something to do with the acoustics of this area.
00:09:59.340
So because it was a cove and when people were in it, it made them behave in a certain way that wanted to do this.
00:10:09.120
I know that what they did was demolish the mountain that was creating this like acoustic,
00:10:14.320
kind of supersonic, whatever kind of vibrations.
00:10:19.400
There is some sort of psychological thing, right?
00:10:21.820
When people get to a bridge and they're like, hmm, I wonder what I think that most people have had this thought
00:10:26.500
where you get to a bridge and you're like, I wonder what would happen if I jumped off?
00:10:30.960
Well, I remember now what you were talking about.
00:10:36.560
They actually had to like alter the rock formation because of the way that like frequency was amplifying
00:10:42.820
in this rock formation, it was producing this harmonic that was somehow associated with like extreme depression.
00:10:55.460
I mean, in some way, I guess you could say that.
00:11:01.180
They're luring ships into crashing into rocky coves.
00:11:06.460
And so, and this is specifically a cliff formation.
00:11:18.180
It was like a steep, rocky inlet near the cliffs.
00:11:20.880
And for some reason, I guess like the rock formation was creating these like supersonic
00:11:26.940
vibrations that people would, yeah, would drive them into deep depression.
00:11:32.400
And I guess they saw the cliff and they're like, yeah, why not?
00:11:35.760
And it became such a problem that they did had to, they had to alter the rock.
00:11:40.180
Like the rock formation, like knock it, knock some of the stuff down, which is kind of strange.
00:11:44.720
I just, it reminded me of that maybe something's going on with the structure of how they built
00:11:53.440
Like I kind of like personally, I'm leaning towards more like a, almost like a portal to
00:11:59.520
hell because like you have these people committing suicide, like that's not the way that you're
00:12:07.900
And so like, is this a place where like the devil's collecting souls?
00:12:14.260
It, it, it just seemed, it seemed odd to me because you have, like I said, you have
00:12:22.440
Here's Natalie Spooner firing up the battle ropes.
00:12:38.920
Hard to believe you get all of that with one membership.
00:12:47.700
Planet Fitness, the official gym of Hockey Canada.
00:12:52.980
I mean, I have them all, like I have a bunch of them laid out.
00:12:58.340
And then you have 31, 32, we skip 33, you get 34, 37, 38, 39, 40.
00:13:08.580
And then in 44, the lady killed her son, her baby.
00:13:24.020
But this lady, she was arguing with her husband.
00:13:27.740
She left the room, or he left the room, excuse me.
00:13:36.300
So she left saying like she was going to go take her life.
00:13:40.760
And so she left, she jumped from the building, from the top of the building.
00:13:44.200
And then she landed on this guy who was just like walking on the ground, like next to the hotel, and ended up killing him too.
00:13:54.640
If you think about it, and you know, typically it's like, what comes first?
00:14:00.560
Is it like the suicides or like the supernatural sort of energy from like one event?
00:14:10.000
You know, because I'm kind of thinking like if something spooky happens in it, like let's say there's a murder or whatever in a house, that might lead to like future hauntings.
00:14:17.440
And then you might go into that and be like, oh, the energy of this place is off, or it's this, or it's that.
00:14:23.620
So is it built on like, like I'm looking it up, there's no mention of, I went for the cliche.
00:14:38.560
Yeah, so it's been, it's been boarded up and like not functional for several years now.
00:14:44.800
There's been talk that they're going to renovate it and somebody's like going to buy it.
00:14:53.700
I'm wondering, we've talked about, you know, Skid Row, Los Angeles, Powers and Principalities, whatever, whatever spirit has like dominion.
00:15:05.400
But in the 20s when it was built, was like, was that even a thing?
00:15:09.740
Well, I mean, how far, is Hollywood near, I don't know, geographically retarded.
00:15:22.660
Just because I know like that time is a really strange time for the development of Hollywood, you know, being, I guess, its inception is basically like the early 1910s, you know, and then by 1920 you have, was it 1920 the Cecil Hotel was erect?
00:15:39.620
24, 27 is when the first suicide, or the first recorded suicide.
00:15:43.900
There could have been suicides before that that we just don't, like they didn't record, we didn't know about.
00:15:51.020
It's all, I mean, this also might not have anything to do with it, but it's one degree north of the 33rd parallel.
00:15:59.300
Yeah, I always look at that, whether it's like something is on or around.
00:16:03.460
Seems like the things that are on have more proclivity to have supernatural properties, but still, I mean, if that is like a thin area within, on the earth, the 33rd parallel, things around it will still attract, but I don't know.
00:16:20.000
So you have some serial killers that come in and out.
00:16:25.980
So in like 1984, 85, Richard Ramirez, like the Night Stalker, who is a satanic worshiper, right?
00:16:33.920
He was living in the Cecil Hotel while he was like on his murder spree.
00:16:42.000
I remember learning that because I think we watched the Night Stalker documentary because for whatever reason.
00:16:47.640
Yeah, so he lived there for a while, which is, and like obviously he never killed himself, but in that situation.
00:16:54.700
But like it's interesting that he was attracted to the hotel.
00:16:58.440
Have you seen American Horror Story Hotel like that season?
00:17:08.640
I watched like, I think I stopped watching for American Horror Freaks show because I found everybody so ugly in the circus that I couldn't, none of them were likable.
00:17:17.580
You need to at least have some remotely likable.
00:17:19.480
But each season's different, so you can just like watch a new season.
00:17:22.160
I know, but then they did the Lady Gaga thing too.
00:17:26.140
I was upset with that because I don't like her because I think she's a...
00:17:31.560
Like she's a good person to cast for this because she's already so like satanic and like demonic.
00:17:38.240
But that season is based loosely on the Cecil Hotel.
00:17:53.840
And isn't there some element where like all of these people become not just collected, but they're all...
00:18:00.680
Yeah, I mean, they're kind of trapped there in the same way that you might look at The Shining with that hotel when you have like the spirit of the twins and things like that.
00:18:08.400
The Stanley Hotel isn't actually haunted though.
00:18:12.760
They really like play it up if you ever go there.
00:18:24.240
When we were talking about like the earth being a character.
00:18:30.540
Where they're collecting all the souls on the boat.
00:18:47.780
Because if that many people are dying, maybe collecting souls is the purpose.
00:18:55.520
I mean, yes, that many people in the grand scheme of things.
00:18:58.240
But you don't have like multiple deaths a year.
00:19:01.500
But you do have thousands of people coming in and out per year, right?
00:19:16.980
Maybe it's like anybody that's already having kind of a bad day.
00:19:25.960
I think that the truth of the matter is if it is a demonic thing, at any given moment, you know, we're in spiritual soup.
00:19:34.720
If there's so much going on around us that we can't see and there are things that don't have rights and don't have access to us while other things might for something that we did or something that was, you know, generationally passed on to us, what have you.
00:19:47.620
Not everything that inhabits a spiritual realm has access to you.
00:19:53.760
And some people have less that is given over to the demonic realm than others do.
00:20:02.520
I thought the question, like if believers are going and staying there, maybe they're not being targeted.
00:20:08.180
Like maybe it's non-believers that are being targeted.
00:20:11.620
I mean, I would say that it likely comes down to a number of things, right?
00:20:14.600
Like what sort of rights do these things have over you?
00:20:19.260
What sort of entities are you in agreement with?
00:20:21.880
What sorts of things are attached to you via some hitchhiker thing from generational iniquity?
00:20:29.080
And I think that everybody has a different, their bag looks a little bit different.
00:20:33.040
So do we know, do we know who was like the builder funder for this?
00:20:38.060
So William Banks Hanner, Charles Dix and Robert Shops.
00:20:47.220
They're like three hoteliers that all came together to build this.
00:20:57.340
And it was like initially built for business travelers and tourists.
00:21:00.440
It was designed by Loy Lester Smith, who also designed the City Club building.
00:21:07.580
Or like it's now known as the Primrose Design Building.
00:21:25.820
Like they built this thing and it was supposed to be like this beautiful hotel.
00:21:29.340
It was 14 stories tall, which was a really tall hotel back then.
00:21:43.320
No, there was a decline after the 1940s because of Skid Row becoming increasingly dangerous.
00:21:50.820
Here's Natalie Spooner firing up the battle ropes.
00:22:07.200
Hard to believe you get all of that with one membership.
00:22:16.100
Planet Fitness, the official gym of Hockey Canada.
00:22:18.740
So when it was built, it was built in a good part of town.
00:22:21.840
And Skid Row really wasn't coming up to be like a bad part of town until like the 1950s.
00:22:29.000
The fact that it's specifically 14 stories tall, but hotels notoriously skipped the 13th floor.
00:22:40.640
They started doing that because there was that hotel in New York.
00:22:45.180
That people kept killing themselves on the 13th floor or dying on the 13th floor.
00:23:00.840
Like why on earth was it a common place to do that?
00:23:02.720
No, because there was like an actual hotel in New York.
00:23:05.680
And I think it started in New York because so many people, it was superstition, but so
00:23:23.460
Well, this is, you know, it's common to skip labeling the 13th floor on a high rise building,
00:23:28.180
especially hotels and residential towers in the United States and other Western countries
00:23:41.460
To incorporate that into, I mean, there's no, let's be honest, there's no change in architecture.
00:23:47.000
Really all it is is just the lack of labeling, you know?
00:23:51.220
So, but, but I mean, just to incorporate that at all, it just seems like a thing that you
00:24:05.920
Because nobody wants to stay on the 13th floor.
00:24:08.500
And nobody wants to buy a house where there was a murder kind of a deal.
00:24:11.360
It has like, it's, I think it has its roots back to like Judas being the 13th person at
00:24:21.440
And that, it's kind of funny how that works its way into the zeitgeist and in people's
00:24:26.000
mind where you have architecture, architects not, not labeling the 13th floor.
00:24:34.420
Oh, that was a, that was a movie and everything.
00:24:46.000
And then it makes me wonder, is that why there's not 13 months?
00:24:52.240
I can't, I won't do the math because I'm an idiot, but every month is supposed to be.
00:25:00.000
And with that, you have a remainder that's enough to make a 13th month.
00:25:03.720
And then there is a 13th constellation with it, which is Ophugus.
00:25:07.580
But like our, um, our year wouldn't look the way it does, but we also wouldn't have
00:25:12.860
But if you look at like different things in, uh, nature, I know we're getting off topic
00:25:18.540
Um, like turtles, if you look at their back, their outer ring has 13 slots or no, their
00:25:24.520
outer ring, excuse me, has 28 slots and their inner section has 13.
00:25:28.520
Like it, when you pull up like the, like a picture of a turtle shell, uh, if you think
00:25:37.540
If you think of like, like a moon cycle, um, everything can line up together, but if you
00:25:43.900
look at like the Bible says that the, the sun and the moon were put in the sky as luminaries
00:25:48.700
to, to basically track time to keep time and also the stars and everything for, uh, for
00:25:55.160
But I, I, I think about that often, like we were just talking to, I don't know, I know
00:25:59.140
this is a little bit of a deviation, but we were talking to Ed Mabry yesterday and we were,
00:26:02.460
it was kind of like, you know, these things that have happened over the last year, because
00:26:06.080
as we sit here today, it's, it's, uh, December 30th.
00:26:08.940
And so, um, and one of them was that there was supposed to be this big rapture that happened,
00:26:14.080
you know, September 20th to the 24th, I think was the window, something to that effect.
00:26:19.440
And it just makes me wonder like how effective is any of our ability to predict something
00:26:27.180
based off of a time or a day when does that removal of a 13th month and, and a 13th constellation
00:26:38.260
and all these different things, like, does that really screw up our timekeeping in any
00:26:46.600
I think we're in the little season, but I mean, it is, it's an interesting thought
00:26:53.440
Do I, I don't want to Google that, but, um, you said you've done an episode on it.
00:26:57.500
If we were to make every month, 28 days, then we would have a remainder of enough to make
00:27:06.840
So our, our year would look a little bit different, but also like, because we have a leap year
00:27:12.580
every four years, that would not be necessary anymore.
00:27:19.720
It's been a while since I did this episode, so I don't remember all the different things
00:27:22.680
about it, but, um, like I went into like how the calendar was created and why it looks the
00:27:28.320
And then what, what the purpose of like removing the 13th month was, it doesn't make any sense,
00:27:35.220
but I guess somebody somewhere thought that this was what we should do.
00:27:47.560
It was supposed to be in between June and July.
00:27:51.580
So it'd be January, February, March, April, May, June, Sol, July, August, September.
00:27:56.760
Because then Oct, uh, and actually, no, because the year wouldn't start in January.
00:28:02.360
The year was never supposed to start in January.
00:28:05.440
So then like October, you know, being the eighth month, November being the ninth month, December
00:28:11.060
being the 10th month is what was supposed to happen.
00:28:16.220
That, this is where you get April fools from as well.
00:28:19.760
So the year isn't supposed to start in January.
00:28:23.920
I just, I can't help but wonder about all the things that would change of our understanding
00:28:28.260
of, of time and, and seasons ourselves even, right?
00:28:31.960
Uh, if we had stuck to that original 13 months kind of a, kind of a deal.
00:28:39.660
We're like 30, technically we're 33% behind if our year is supposed to start.
00:28:57.840
Supposedly in some of the research I found, like that's where, when Jesus was supposed
00:29:01.580
to be born, cause some people argue it's supposed to be in the fall or in the spring, but the
00:29:05.460
spring makes more sense to me because that's like also like, like new birth.
00:29:09.200
And that's when like everything's blooming and that's when everything's supposed to be
00:29:13.480
coming back to life is like, you know, you went through all the dark of winter.
00:29:18.800
And that's when life is born again is April or like March, April, May timeframe.
00:29:23.100
So that makes more sense that that's when Jesus would be born versus like December 25th.
00:29:29.300
Wasn't it Ed that was like, um, if Jesus was born in December 25th, you know, this little
00:29:37.200
The shepherds wouldn't have their, their sheep out as well.
00:29:42.760
It like, doesn't make any sense for it to be Jesus's birth.
00:29:45.460
And so, um, we celebrate it, but we just don't celebrate it like that.
00:29:51.240
The idea that like Christ would return and go like, got my birthday wrong.
00:29:58.780
I mean, it's not even the month you think it is like, damn, that's interesting too.
00:30:04.160
When you think about, um, that verse that talks about, uh, the man of perdition seeking
00:30:12.960
That's, I mean, times would be pretty effectively confused right now.
00:30:16.740
It would be, you know, uh, man, you know, I'm sure somebody out there is screaming, it's
00:30:24.160
Uh, so let's get back to, uh, uh, this, this, this list.
00:30:27.860
So where does the story start for this particular, because we know there's like a bunch of suicides.
00:30:35.540
There's, you know, obviously when you get that many suicides, you're going to have a
00:30:38.620
lot of paranormal investigators and huge supernatural activity off the charts.
00:30:51.580
So then you have Elisa Lam's murder, which are murder.
00:30:59.420
And I think this is why like so many women have heard about it because women are notoriously,
00:31:20.640
Like by the way, Danny, I'll have, you know, that half of our audience is females.
00:31:37.000
My wife likes, uh, my wife likes stuff about murder and also there's rape even better.
00:31:50.060
So when I was thinking about starting a podcast, I was like, I should start a true crime,
00:31:57.700
I mean, you do what you enjoy listening to, right?
00:32:03.420
Like there's everybody starting a true crime podcast.
00:32:07.480
And I was like, well, I'm really interested in conspiracy theories.
00:32:09.900
Who would listen to me talk about conspiracy theories?
00:32:16.700
Someone plotted to do a thing, throw their wife down the stairs, whatever.
00:32:20.900
Uh, and so, yeah, I could see how the two would, I just can't, I watch it.
00:32:26.760
Actually, people look at me all the time and they're like, dude, how do you, gay, how do
00:32:32.120
you, how do you look at the things you look at all the time?
00:32:38.200
But then when I watch women watch true crime, I'm like, how do you watch that shit all the
00:32:46.840
I'll get in the car, listen to true crime, murder all the way to and from dropping my kids
00:32:51.300
And then I get here and I look up conspiracy theories and I'm like, the whole world's
00:32:55.300
And I get back in the car to listen to more true crime as I go get the kids from daycare.
00:33:14.900
Here's Natalie Spooner firing up the battle ropes.
00:33:31.380
Hard to believe you get all of that with one membership.
00:33:40.160
Planet Fitness, the official gym of Hockey Canada.
00:33:46.920
It's probably the most famous death at the Cecil Hotel.
00:33:50.040
And this is kind of what got everybody on this train.
00:33:54.540
And they started finding all these other deaths.
00:33:56.240
And that's when, like, really conspiracies got out of control.
00:33:59.380
So, we should start with the fact that her autopsy shows no signs of any physical or sexual assault at all.
00:34:19.660
So, they just, they basically ruled her death an accidental drowning because, and they noted that she has bipolar disorder and that's probably what led to this.
00:34:29.840
So, her sister, when she was missing, her sister's like, she's not here.
00:34:38.200
So, they went into this already with that, like, thought in their head, like, oh, she's just psychotic.
00:34:45.100
Which, yes, bipolar disorder, you have, like, manic episodes.
00:34:55.680
Well, on this show, I don't know if you're aware of this, but I've gotten to the point now where, through all of our research, not only do we suspect that a lot of mental illness, and I almost used to scoff at people that would say this, and now I'm like, oh, okay, I think this is actually the case, is some form of spiritual oppression.
00:35:13.620
And then, on the flip side of the coin, so much of the mental health apparatus in America is actually birthed out of, you know, our intelligence agency's own interests in human psychology and how to manipulate it.
00:35:28.000
And so, many of these original programs for therapists and psychologists were set up as a selection process to find individuals who would be a good fit for certain programs.
00:35:38.560
And when those programs yielded good fruit, they would start to free-range them.
00:35:47.080
And so, where they would keep you in a lab to give you disassociatives, they're now prescribing you a disassociative drug and keeping, you know, tabs on you that way.
00:35:58.340
You know, that way the government doesn't have to actually pay to keep you in some facility somewhere.
00:36:05.680
And also, you know, be on disassociatives and, you know, they keep, you know, sort of a distant, keep you on a long leash, essentially.
00:36:14.120
So, when I hear Elisa Lamb has a history of bipolar disorder, I already am going to a place where I go, her demons probably played really well with whatever spiritual oppression was happening in this hotel.
00:36:31.920
So, this is one of the most famous pictures, right?
00:36:33.600
So, you got this picture of her in an elevator.
00:36:35.740
And this is where a lot of people are like, what was she doing in the elevator?
00:36:39.200
Because that is also the final and only appearance of her in the hotel.
00:36:45.460
Like, we know she's there, but there's like this gap in time where we don't know where she is.
00:36:50.480
So, the elevator is where we're seeing most of her, like, footage.
00:36:59.900
And people are like, what the heck is she doing in the elevator?
00:37:03.040
What we've kind of decided is that we think that she was probably playing the elevator game.
00:37:12.340
So, it's a South Korean game where you're kind of messing with the supernatural.
00:37:18.780
So, you're trying to get to another dimension is kind of what they're saying.
00:37:26.700
You have to play it in a building that has 10 floors or more because you have to be able to go up to the 10th floor.
00:37:32.980
And most people play this game at night because there won't be people getting on and off the elevator.
00:37:38.220
Because if people get on and off the elevator, the game is over.
00:37:42.180
So, I have it pulled up here because I didn't have it in my notes.
00:37:46.340
You have to press the buttons in a certain order.
00:37:51.120
So, when you get on, when you call the elevator, you have to press the up button, not the down button.
00:37:59.700
So, every single time, whatever floor you get to, you don't get off.
00:38:13.880
On the fifth floor, a woman may or may not get on the elevator with you.
00:38:19.540
So, in her recording, she's seen talking to somebody, but nobody's there.
00:38:23.960
Well, one of the rules, one of the strict rules about this elevator game, if the woman gets on the elevator, firstly, you can see her.
00:38:58.000
But they say she's like this entity that's evil.
00:39:03.660
At any point, if you want to stop the game, you need to go to the first floor.
00:39:12.900
But you should not talk to the woman that gets on the elevator, if she gets on, on the fifth floor.
00:39:20.380
Well, Elisa is seen talking to somebody on the elevator footage, but she's not, like, nobody's actually there.
00:39:29.120
So then that kind of lends to the, that's where I'm leaning more towards the elevator game theory is because I think that by her talking to that, then she got, I wouldn't say possessed, but, like, haunted.
00:39:47.340
Do we have any idea of the, I mean, you can see her.
00:39:56.220
Yeah, she's going up and down, and she gets on and off the elevator, which is where I'm like, well, was she actually playing the elevator again?
00:40:03.860
But if you play it right, when you go to the 10th floor, like, at some point you go to the 10th floor, if you get off, you're in a different dimension.
00:40:13.380
And in your research, have you found any, um, any explanation for the sequence of, uh, of, of, of floors?
00:40:25.260
Because it makes you wonder, like, how do people, um, come up with this sort of a thing?
00:40:30.440
You know, like, uh, it sounds very much like a Bloody Mary, right?
00:40:33.800
Where it's like, how on earth do you come up with the sequence of events to do a Bloody Mary?
00:40:39.900
Uh, you know, it, it, it's just, it's bizarre to me.
00:40:46.660
I want to show a little bit of this footage here.
00:40:51.040
You can look at her behavior and this isn't, you haven't seen this before, right, Top?
00:40:56.240
As I'm, as I'm looking at the, the picture, though, I have seen this picture.
00:41:01.440
And people will be like, well, that's just her mental illness playing.
00:41:05.680
So you could, you could dismiss this as a manic episode or something, but she gets on very
00:41:14.460
I mean, she stands in the corner and she seems to be, watch.
00:41:19.380
But this is weird, too, because the elevator door doesn't close for a really long time.
00:41:26.420
She's looking around, pokes her head out, looks back and forth, hiding on the, hiding in the
00:41:34.320
Like, almost like she's hearing something out in the, in the hallway, because the way
00:41:37.940
that she looked out in the hallway and she keeps, like, peeking around, like, looking
00:41:40.940
to see if somebody's after her or if she's, like, playing hide and seek.
00:41:45.600
I mean, when you know that this is a woman who, who met her demise, uh, relatively shortly
00:41:51.100
after this video, this is the last time she's seen on video, correct?
00:42:01.060
She's stepping sideways forward in, in some sort of little sequence.
00:42:04.780
But also, how come the elevator door has not tried to close this entire time?
00:42:09.480
Not even once has that elevator door attempted to close.
00:42:15.140
And she's not pressed the buttons, not since she's gotten on the elevator.
00:42:19.420
The whole time we've been talking, that door is open.
00:42:23.220
Before, I was like, all right, she's putting her foot in, but now she's completely outside
00:42:32.300
And then, and some people think, oh, well, she's schizophrenic, but she wasn't diagnosed
00:42:41.380
I mean, you could get manic, but like, like this?
00:42:49.180
I mean, you know, like once again, in our research, and most of it is done with the,
00:42:55.440
The sort of the guidance of a clinical psychologist named Dr. Jerry Marzinski, you know, it's,
00:43:01.800
it seems as though it's, it's demonic oppression much more.
00:43:04.980
And given the fact that the medical industry as it stands has no handle on this, is not
00:43:14.400
We have what's known as a mental health crisis.
00:43:16.920
So it's been like two minutes and she's gone nowhere.
00:43:20.360
She's standing outside of the elevator right now.
00:43:27.220
It's almost like she's waiting for somebody, you know?
00:43:32.360
The chat is saying, look at her hand movements.
00:43:34.140
I mean, she's doing a lot of bizarre hand gestures.
00:43:37.280
She came back in moments ago and, and press the same buttons again, but here we go.
00:43:41.440
It's like this elevator is still just wide open.
00:43:49.520
Let's, uh, let's, so, so, um, and we're live at Planet Fitness.
00:43:54.760
Here's Natalie Spooner firing up the battle ropes.
00:44:11.580
Hard to believe you get all of that with one membership.
00:44:20.360
Planet Fitness, the official gym of Hockey Canada.
00:44:38.960
But isn't there a way, this is me playing devil's advocate here.
00:44:42.180
Is there a way that you can press buttons on the elevator to keep the door open?
00:44:50.900
Like, was she playing hide and seek with somebody?
00:44:52.340
Like, she's hiding in one corner and then she's hiding in the other corner.
00:45:04.240
It's just an added layer on a very strange situation.
00:45:07.620
Once again, it's like when when this ends in someone's death.
00:45:11.800
And we'll get into the circumstances of that, super mysterious.
00:45:21.320
You know, you kind of scratch your head at every little detail and it's like chock full
00:45:26.200
This sort of reminds me of this, like a, like a rudimentary way of rando nodding.
00:45:35.200
That's something that, like, that's what Nick Hinton got sort of known for.
00:45:42.980
So, yeah, the guy Nick, he's actually pretty fascinating.
00:45:48.360
I believe it was like either a computer website or a phone app, maybe both.
00:45:54.440
Like, it was like some sort of quantum computing.
00:45:56.580
You'd put it in and it would spit out location.
00:46:04.160
And it was your choice whether you would go to them or not.
00:46:09.320
And then there was like a Reddit forum type chat of people doing this, going to these places,
00:46:22.520
People were getting in a lot of trouble with it.
00:46:24.320
They would go and have mysterious communications with people that seemed to just say something
00:46:28.840
that was hyper relevant and could have only been relevant to that person.
00:46:32.820
And yet a random GPS coordinator sent them there.
00:46:36.960
Well, it was a quantum computer that was spitting out GPS coordinates for them to go to.
00:46:48.760
Like you're going up and down to certain spots to kind of like unlock this code of what will happen.
00:47:02.440
And then like there were people staying in her room.
00:47:10.620
But it makes you wonder could like if she does have bipolar or whatever other mental illness
00:47:16.080
that they've decided to brand her with, could she see something that maybe everybody else
00:47:43.740
The police do an extensive search of this place.
00:47:57.540
That's the only footage we have is what we just saw.
00:48:07.120
But we also don't have any evidence, obviously, of her going to the roof or of her going back
00:48:26.800
But the doors just open and close, open and close, open and close several times on their
00:48:37.880
But actually, but on one floor, though, you think that it would like...
00:48:45.080
Oh, it actually does then go through the cycle of all the buttons that she pressed.
00:48:50.200
I can see every time it opens, the door that it sees is a different color.
00:49:00.280
And then there is no footage from the lobby of her leaving.
00:49:20.700
But were there as many cameras as there are now?
00:49:23.520
But you'd think in a hotel they would at least have cameras, like, in hallways and in
00:49:32.100
Like, if people are starting to, like, I don't know, vandalize the place or they're
00:49:38.440
Like, you're going to want to try to catch them.
00:49:40.300
We're talking about a famous hotel in Los Angeles.
00:49:45.780
I mean, I'm pretty sure a Best Western out here would have some hallway cameras.
00:49:51.420
But, I mean, nevertheless, I guess there isn't.
00:49:53.640
Or else we would have some sort of footage unless they kept that for some reason.
00:49:57.820
I'm sure after this, they probably decided to install some hallway cameras.
00:50:02.220
Well, they ruled her death accidental because of drowning.
00:50:07.340
Like, if they do have the evidence, I don't know.
00:50:10.580
So I don't know why they wouldn't release that now.
00:50:29.720
And if you, like, shimmy it and try to get in, then alarms go off.
00:50:39.940
I guess, from what I'm understanding, she could have broken in, but an alarm would have sounded.
00:50:46.380
Even being in the stairwell to get to the roof door would have sounded an alarm.
00:50:51.960
It's one of those doors where you push on it and the whole...
00:50:58.040
So there's an alternative option, which is she scaled the outside of the building.
00:51:18.000
And we don't know, like, at what point was she on the outside of the building trying to get up.
00:51:25.020
So she went missing, and they didn't find her for three weeks.
00:51:35.600
Because so many people had already jumped off the roof on different occasions.
00:51:40.300
People were jumping off the roof to commit suicide.
00:51:41.940
So they knew that the roof needed to be pretty secure.
00:51:47.980
A building that three years into its inception, almost annually, there's a suicide for the next decade or so.
00:51:58.860
Would more than likely make an effort to keep people from going up to the roof.
00:52:09.100
And likely, they didn't have opening windows anymore.
00:52:13.920
I would agree that that would be something we would do.
00:52:16.600
So some older hotels do still have opening windows.
00:52:20.100
They secure them to where they only open a smidge.
00:52:22.900
So I don't know specifically about the Cecil Hotel if the windows were fully secured.
00:52:28.440
But by 2013, most hotels did not have opening windows.
00:52:37.500
And a hotel with a history of suicide, you're not going to have windows that open.
00:52:46.340
And like you said, in 2013, this is something that's pretty standard.
00:52:50.600
You're not going to go to a hotel that is 14 stories tall in 2014 and easily gain access to the roof or open the windows.
00:53:00.160
I mean, everything by that point was pretty well locked down to avoid that sort of thing.
00:53:09.940
So for three weeks, they're like, we don't know where she went.
00:53:15.740
At that point, I think that they have decided that maybe she's not at the hotel anymore because the investigation, the search of the hotel has kind of concluded.
00:53:23.460
After the first initial search, they were like, well, we did not find any trace of her here.
00:53:28.880
There's no trace of her in this building or on top of the building because they looked.
00:53:35.780
Here's Natalie Spooner firing up the battle ropes.
00:53:52.260
Hard to believe you get all of that with one membership.
00:54:01.040
Planet Fitness, the official gym of Hockey Canada.
00:54:03.600
So then about three weeks later, you have different people that are staying in the hotel.
00:54:09.500
And they're complaining that their water pressure is really low.
00:54:15.680
So they're like, well, there's something weird.
00:54:20.560
There's something weird about the water, right?
00:54:22.360
So maintenance guy goes up to the roof because they have like four like giant thousand gallon water tanks up there.
00:54:30.560
There's something wrong with one of the water tanks.
00:54:33.060
Well, you need a ladder, firstly, to get into the water tanks.
00:54:44.740
So for this little Asian girl to be able to open the lid is very unlikely.
00:54:50.480
And then the way like she was so she was found in one of the water tanks.
00:55:06.220
And once you're in, how are you going to close that water tank door behind you?
00:55:16.280
So you have all these weird situations where you're like, and they had they had searched the roof and they hadn't found no sign of her.
00:55:26.340
And then all of a sudden they find her drinking her.
00:55:33.860
Because she had not decomposed for three weeks in that water tank.
00:55:38.880
The autopsy report does not show any physical or sexual assault and no noticeable markings on her body.
00:55:43.960
However, 0.02% ethanol, so alcohol, was in her bile.
00:55:49.160
Her liver contained an SNRI, which was used to treat her depression, and another drug that was used to treat bipolar and epilepsy.
00:55:59.140
But she was bipolar, so that makes sense that she would have regular amounts of her medications in her system.
00:56:12.520
So they couldn't get a lot of evidence about toxicology.
00:56:23.440
So then people thought it was a murder, but the ruling was an accidental drowning.
00:56:30.440
Right, because she had no other marks on her, but there's no, like, evidence.
00:56:35.420
So then it makes you wonder, well, was it, like, one of the people that would have had access to the roof that put her in there?
00:56:46.180
It makes you really wonder what's going on, you know, in her mind at that time, just given, like, the bizarre elevator footage and then whatever drives her.
00:56:59.580
I mean, let's say she does climb up the water tanks, you know, figures out a way up there, undoes the door, strips her clothes off.
00:57:10.260
Maybe they're thrown off the roof, in which case they get blown.
00:57:16.340
Well, I mean, let's just say, for being generous, they get blown several city blocks away and, you know, whatever, just traffic and shit happens.
00:57:24.200
Some of it gets blown over here, some of it gets blown over here.
00:57:40.260
It doesn't strike me as something that's designed to be closed from the inside.
00:57:43.580
But, you know, whenever she makes the effort one way or another to close the door behind her, which, because I'm looking at pictures of it, it's not a, it doesn't look like a hinged hatch.
00:57:55.100
It looks like a square steel plate that she would pick up and put to the side.
00:58:00.760
And so, you know, she gets in this, treads water while she fishes her arms back outside the tank to grab this plate to put it back into its fixed position.
00:58:14.200
That's assuming that the water tank is full at the time of her death.
00:58:20.700
And I don't know, I don't know the answer to that question.
00:58:23.240
Because based off of, I can see pictures of guys standing next to it.
00:58:28.260
This thing is probably, you know, eight to nine feet tall.
00:58:36.700
And, yeah, I mean, if it's not filled to the brim, either way to, it's a bizarre thing to have to do and a difficult thing by the looks of it to tread water while naked, reach your arms outside, and then be able to pull this thing over.
00:59:05.000
It looks like it's literally just a cover you would remove.
00:59:09.560
And in order to fix it back in its place, you'd have to lift it up and put it over a smaller...
00:59:17.760
So the hotel staff says the 20-pound lid was difficult to move and required lifting from the top of the tank.
00:59:24.460
The tank stood on a platform, and accessing the tank lid required climbing a steep, narrow ladder.
00:59:30.140
Once on top of the tank, Elisa would have had to stand on the opposite side of the lid straight up and then climb over it to get inside.
00:59:39.520
And also, she had to remove her clothes at some point.
00:59:53.200
This is Los Angeles, so Los Angeles doesn't have winter like that, right?
01:00:05.000
It got cold at night, but it was like 70s during the day.
01:00:07.800
Everybody in the pictures, they're wearing jackets.
01:00:14.380
Even in the photo in the thing, she's wearing a sweater.
01:00:17.260
I can see images of the rooftop here, and everybody is wearing winter clothes.
01:00:25.840
So to be completely nude, and what looks to me like a 110-pound Asian woman, and maybe that's
01:00:44.260
I mean, to do this, you would have to be pretty mission-driven on...
01:00:52.340
I don't even imagine you would get away with this without the scrapes on your arms and shit
01:00:57.000
showing that you were treading water while fishing your arms outside of a steel contraption
01:01:05.320
I mean, we're just talking, you know, sheet metal here.
01:01:09.480
So they say there's no signs at all on her body.
01:01:12.320
So you don't even have the signs of her, like, climbing up the ladder, like, walking on the
01:01:15.620
Like, you'd think there'd be some sort of signs on her feet, because if she's naked, then
01:01:19.040
like, there's got to be some sign of something.
01:01:24.560
It would also strike me that these water towers don't get a ton of play as far as, like,
01:01:33.220
And so there would be some sediment on the lid that would have to be disturbed, probably
01:01:40.460
since the thing was put up there outside of, like, regular maintenance if somebody went
01:01:45.340
But, you know, you would see handprints all over this shit.
01:01:48.460
My father-in-law worked on, like, boilers and, like, water towers and things like this.
01:02:00.180
So he would know in a month time frame if something was wrong with it.
01:02:04.640
And maintenance is supposed to be checking on this.
01:02:07.000
You have the maintenance of the actual building, because he's, like, a third-party contractor.
01:02:10.880
But the maintenance of the building would ideally be checking on it, making sure everything's
01:02:15.200
So people would, at least once a month, be checking on these water tanks.
01:02:21.620
And she was in there for what seemed to be three weeks.
01:02:26.900
We don't know if she was in there for three weeks.
01:02:28.840
You're saying the decomposition doesn't match that time frame.
01:02:36.060
But we also have to remember that right as soon as she went missing, they found no trace
01:02:40.840
They had dogs at the hotel following her scent.
01:02:53.940
And she had to have been in the water tower for some amount of time, because if people are
01:02:58.560
starting to complain that the water pressure's low and that, you know, like, it's starting
01:03:02.680
to smell bad, like, she had to be in the tank for a decent amount of time.
01:03:07.980
I mean, decomp can happen pretty quick, especially in water.
01:03:11.720
Well, just for reference, you know, police tracking dogs are considered highly reliable
01:03:19.980
with success rates ranging from 75 to 97 percent.
01:03:25.220
If she was on that roof, they would have found her scent, because there's not a lot of scents
01:03:37.960
You know, the dogs are probably smelling a lot of things, fentanyl and whatever.
01:03:42.080
But so we're talking about we're talking about like a possible time lapse.
01:03:49.140
Somebody in the chat said that the association between water and portals is always worth considering.
01:03:59.060
That's typically when you get a some portal story is around a body of water, typically running
01:04:04.880
But I don't know if that is when you're dealing with something that is hard to prove in
01:04:09.240
I don't know if that's a constant is that the water has to be running.
01:04:13.140
But I mean, man, it's it's just hard to imagine how she gets in there.
01:04:19.380
I mean, like you said, eight feet tall, eight feet tall.
01:04:23.640
You're you're treading water in a four by eight and a half foot body of water.
01:04:29.180
It's ice cold because it's it's it's covered up.
01:04:40.000
Here's Natalie Spooner firing up the battle ropes.
01:04:56.520
Hard to believe you get all of that with one membership.
01:04:59.160
Get started for one dollar down, then fifteen dollars a month.
01:05:05.300
Planet Fitness, the official gym of Hockey Canada.
01:05:08.120
Which, you know, probably maybe could have its advantages.
01:05:10.620
I'm sure water gets there's a lot of drag on on clothing and water.
01:05:14.060
But and you're you're treading water while you're.
01:05:17.820
Well, no, I don't think she she wouldn't be treading water.
01:05:21.500
So if this is like a metal object and you're trying to get out, she would have been banged up.
01:05:35.220
There's no there's no evidence, no physical or sexual evidence that she was murdered.
01:05:46.280
Well, if you put yourself in there because you were because, you know, I'm I'm operating.
01:05:52.960
But if you put yourself in there, like the moment you begin to to sink, the moment you begin to drown, I feel like even if you are suicidal, there is some struggle that like initially kicks in.
01:06:04.900
Well, how many people actually I'm curious about this.
01:06:06.960
How many people die by drowning, like commit suicide by drowning?
01:06:14.860
I would say that I'm going to get put on a list for looking this up.
01:06:21.300
So, I mean, yeah, hanging would be probably pretty high up there.
01:06:31.720
That sounds like a drowning is up there with self-immolation, which I know has become popular in recent years, but not not the preferred modality.
01:06:43.020
When you look it up, they're like, help is available.
01:06:51.100
Not 8.9% of all suicides, but it is the fourth leading cause of suicide.
01:07:01.180
I think they're probably conflating some of the numbers where like you're jumping off a bridge.
01:07:14.100
Honestly, it's one of the, that and, and like I said, being set on fire are two of the real big scary ones.
01:07:19.880
Actually, so I had this conversation recently with a medical professional and they were telling me that suicide by, or like drowning is not that bad.
01:07:33.260
Like initially, like, cause you, you take like, like a couple big, like, uh, it's uncomfortable.
01:07:38.660
That your body kind of like shuts itself down so you don't feel the rest of it.
01:07:45.740
Whereas like, so like death by fire would suck because until, until your nerves are burnt, but like initially you're feeling all that.
01:07:53.960
Drowning, it's only a little bit where you're like trying to breathe and then your body's like, oh, we can't breathe.
01:07:58.360
So we're just going to just stop feeling all of that.
01:08:09.540
I mean, still, like I said, my, my whole thing is like, uh, to be such a tiny chick, you know, maybe what you're doing is you're holding on to the, the, but then you have one arm to try to get this 20 pound plate, which like, but what are you holding on to?
01:08:26.980
The, the, the edge of the square orifice that you dropped in through.
01:08:30.980
You don't think that the thing, like you think it just sits on top.
01:08:36.060
No, I think from what it looks like to me is there is a raised edge, uh, that is in the same shape as the lid.
01:08:43.080
And the lid is a slightly larger diameter than that raised edge.
01:08:51.280
Or like you could hold on to it, but I mean, I don't know if, you know, if you have a 20 pound dumbbell, you know, for, for a small Asian woman, that's probably pretty heavy.
01:09:00.800
Once you spread that thing out into a plate and, and you're trying to what, grab it, grab the edges of it with your hand.
01:09:08.140
And you've got to try to get your palm underneath it to lift it effectively and return it back.
01:09:12.720
You also have no scratches anywhere on your hand.
01:09:18.000
I mean, look, you, you have to leave some and say like, yeah, she could have.
01:09:30.920
We're talking about somebody that died somewhere else and then was placed there or she, for whatever reason there and just committed suicide.
01:09:40.900
So she wasn't going to fight because she wanted to die.
01:09:48.660
Like, I mean, I've never been that suicidal to be like, like, I'm ready to end everything.
01:09:52.620
So maybe that's where like the disconnect is, you know, like maybe.
01:10:01.580
I'm going back and I'm looking at this video of her in the elevator.
01:10:05.240
And when she's like peeking out, there are there looks to be like an artifact of a video that like kind of cast a shadow or something on the door adjacent to the elevator door.
01:10:20.140
And I don't know if it's just an artifact or like with my mind, I'm like, is it a spooky?
01:10:25.300
You'll kind of like see some shadows moving on it.
01:10:28.100
But like, you know, it's it's shitty, grainy elevator footage and there's no way to really know what you're looking at.
01:10:37.440
But that directly across the door with a horizontal gray bar on it does appear to be a door.
01:10:42.820
Because later on in the video, you will see that when it goes to another floor.
01:10:53.420
Like, but when when I'm like hiding around a corner and I'm going to scare my toddler, you know, like I'll jump out.
01:11:01.320
Like, it doesn't like and if you're scared, that's not what you're doing.
01:11:15.640
You're talking about like bipolar disorder as well.
01:11:17.800
So this is somebody that could just, I don't know, presumably go from one extreme to the other.
01:11:30.260
She it's it's a fine line between distress and almost playfulness.
01:11:41.760
Like how you're going to because at first she gets in and like she kind of stands in the corner, like almost like she's a little scared.
01:11:47.980
And then the way she like looks out, you're like, OK, that's fear.
01:11:50.560
But then she jumps out and then she stands just like outside the elevator.
01:11:54.040
You're like, why are you doing the fucking hokey pokey?
01:12:00.080
I think Robert brings up a very good point here.
01:12:06.640
And I don't know much about a bit of an enigma, really, Korean people.
01:12:11.760
So that could we could chalk this whole thing up to just being Korean, I suppose.
01:12:16.800
And I guess like like socially, they do play games that are not things that we would normally play.
01:12:21.960
And they play differently because I was friends with a Korean for a little while and she would do things.
01:12:33.240
People move and like, yeah, I tend to move away from people that play strange games.
01:12:38.980
But I mean, you know, once again, it's just like this whole thing.
01:12:43.760
If it was just the water tower alone in a vacuum, we found a body in a water tower.
01:12:55.640
But this leading up to it, you know, this bizarre elevator scene and then layer on top of it, the, the, you know, crazy history of the Cecil Hotel in general.
01:13:08.120
It's like this is just there's too much because I see like some people will just say, oh, it's just a suicide.
01:13:18.220
Here's Natalie Spooner firing up the battle ropes.
01:13:34.720
Hard to believe you get all of that with one membership.
01:13:43.300
Planet Fitness, the official gym of Hockey Canada.
01:13:46.340
Well, so there's, there's a theory that it's a copycat murder.
01:14:04.620
So basically like it's almost a parallel of Elisa Lam's case because there was a body discovered in the rooftop.
01:14:15.300
Um, and the film's plot and real life tragedy involve a woman in an apartment building experiencing like strange water problems and this like dark water effect or this element in the plumbing.
01:14:27.460
Um, the movie really centers around like supernatural occurrences, like being haunted by a ghost.
01:14:38.760
And the weird part is that the ghost or the target of the ghost.
01:14:44.380
So the ghost was haunting this, um, six-year-old girl whose name's Cecilia and she's the main character.
01:14:59.600
So right here in the corner, you see the water tower.
01:15:02.580
I mean, the body was in the water tower, but like it's, it's so weird and haunting and like the daughter who is the, the target of the haunting is Cecilia and she's the main character.
01:15:20.300
So, so that reminds me of, um, of the, uh, white noise film, but white noise was really wild because it was like, it came out.
01:15:29.900
And then a week later, the plot happened in real life, which is, you know, we've talked about on the show, but, um, the Ohio train derailment.
01:15:36.480
Um, now in the film, it takes place in the eighties, you know, um, and a lot of the, interestingly enough, much of the cast, as far as like extras and background came from, uh, uh, uh, East Palestine, Ohio, which is where it happened in real life.
01:15:54.160
But you have a train derailment and a toxic, you know, chemical spill.
01:15:58.380
And then there are additional layers to the film that are very bizarre, but we've talked about them ad nauseum on this show.
01:16:04.440
Um, but then it takes place in real life only a week after or so it's released on Netflix.
01:16:11.940
Um, and because of the complexity of that situation, you would never recuse it of being a copycat, right?
01:16:18.500
I mean, yeah, you couldn't say somebody derailed the train because of the Netflix film.
01:16:22.940
Uh, you just are forced to look at that and go, I don't know what that is.
01:16:28.600
But this, this film comes out when 2005, 2005, 2005.
01:16:33.800
And then eight years later, this thing happens.
01:16:36.880
I mean, man, yeah, you could call it a copycat, but that still doesn't account for the bizarre
01:16:44.640
I mean, does a copycat also have the expertise to leave no evidence behind whatsoever signs
01:16:53.340
But also you would think that like, this does, you're going to copycat, right.
01:16:57.720
If you're going to copycat a movie, then you would do it kind of closer to when that movie
01:17:03.820
I mean, imagine just being such a big fan of like anything Jennifer Connelly did.
01:17:07.960
I'm such a big fan of this five-star movie that you would go and, you know, it's not a
01:17:13.000
Like it was, but how many times in our life, like you're saying with white noise, like
01:17:17.920
that a movie happens and it's so similar to what's happening in real life.
01:17:22.580
And they're like, no, you're basing that off of like how many conspiracies where we're
01:17:28.800
Like they're literally telling us what's happening in real life.
01:17:34.080
The Simpsons too, the predicting things like, no, the Simpsons are telling us what's
01:17:39.040
And the way I've begun looking at these things, cause it's kind of like your mind wants to
01:17:42.240
jump to some grand conspiracy about like somebody who's orchestrating these events is also letting
01:17:48.760
But I think I'm more comfortable with the idea of like, actually, if you listen to these
01:17:55.700
These ideas come through some sort of spiritual inspiration.
01:18:00.920
And we talk about it all the time on this show, whether it's like the muses with Greek
01:18:07.000
culture, where our, you know, their great works of art come from, they come from the
01:18:12.480
Or if you're talking about one of our favorite examples is Santana, the guitarist Santana,
01:18:20.720
who says that his inspiration comes from Metatron.
01:18:24.500
Metatron, who is like, I believe a fallen angel.
01:18:26.780
Um, so the idea that this would be a supernatural event and that someone would have received
01:18:34.600
this as some sort of inspired download or something eight years beforehand and, and said,
01:18:42.100
Um, that seems kind of more likely than maybe the Jews doing the orchestra.
01:18:47.620
I don't think the Jews had anything to do with this as an Asian.
01:18:49.420
But it makes you think that, uh, like, like, so these, these, uh, pre-programmed events
01:18:56.080
or, uh, revelation of the method sort of thing.
01:18:58.700
I always look at it like, oh, they have to tell you, but maybe it's more of like, uh, I
01:19:04.460
Like, you know how the Maserat, the story is written in the stars already.
01:19:07.820
So there's like a before beginning present and there's an end to this and these entities
01:19:13.280
have already, like they'll, they simultaneously exist and they torment you, but they've already
01:19:18.540
been judged and cast in the lake of fire and it's, it's like, it's done for them, but it's
01:19:24.000
I just wonder if, I don't know, let's say the director of this movie or the writer of
01:19:28.920
this movie, you know, you receive a download because this is not uncommon.
01:19:31.960
You receive a download of this story and you're like, like kind of how we're talking about
01:19:37.660
And you just get this, that this thing happened, has happened, will happen.
01:19:42.040
I don't know, but I'm going to write about it now.
01:19:56.660
This is, this is the idea of the calendar as well.
01:20:00.600
We're like, where exactly are we in the timeline?
01:20:07.220
Well, to that point, like I've been deep diving into remote viewing a little bit lately.
01:20:11.220
And so like, it makes me wonder, and this, this is far fetched, but like could, cause
01:20:17.300
when you're remote viewing, or you're doing an out-of-body experience, time and space
01:20:21.580
Like you can go anywhere, you can be anywhere at any time.
01:20:24.200
And so like, are they seeing things and they're like, oh, let's go back and let's make a movie
01:20:28.680
because they're saying that the CIA runs Hollywood, right?
01:20:32.860
They're like, oh, let's make a movie about this event that's going to happen.
01:20:36.400
And then like, maybe we can cover it up better or whatever.
01:20:40.260
I mean, I don't know if there's like a big plan, but this will make a really good movie
01:20:48.140
And then they turned it into, or a civilian remote viewer.
01:20:52.680
And they're like, this is going to be a great movie.
01:20:55.580
I think there could definitely be something to that.
01:20:57.240
I mean, somebody said the other day, like how many times is somebody's like disembodied
01:21:03.220
voice or whatever, actually some fed just fucking like blasting some shit into their
01:21:10.620
But when you think about the processes that ancient people have used to channel, right?
01:21:20.220
So people will take this thing and they'll close their eyes and they'll start moving this
01:21:24.380
And then when they're done, they'll look at what they, or the same thing with music, right?
01:21:30.420
You're just kind of jamming and looking for something.
01:21:34.820
You're opening yourself up and you're looking for something that sounds right.
01:21:37.800
And then all of a sudden it starts manifesting on your guitar or whatever it is.
01:21:41.500
And you plug in, you sync up to that frequency, which is where these things operate.
01:21:46.720
I think writing is very much the same way where like people, you experience this or maybe not
01:21:53.780
you, but we're all familiar with the stories of like, there's a difference between an individual
01:21:59.340
experiencing writer's block, but then what is the exact opposite of writer's block?
01:22:04.060
It is this flow state where it's just coming and you're just going.
01:22:08.360
And when you're done and you're left with, you're taken aback by this piece that you just
01:22:13.920
And I think that, um, certainly then that leaves, you know, not just music on the table, not
01:22:21.680
just pieces of art, you know, physical art drawing on the table, but, but movies too,
01:22:31.200
It was like, you think, uh, this bitch, what's her name?
01:22:34.520
Um, JK Rowling, you know, they're like, oh, she just came up with it.
01:22:38.460
She was kind of like down in her luck and on her last dollar and she would write it on
01:22:44.480
She was scrying, you know, she admits to that now.
01:22:47.820
And what do we, we watched, uh, I watched weapons and we were talking to donut about the
01:22:56.960
And there's so much that they're revealing through it.
01:22:58.960
And then when you do a little Google search, when they were interviewing the director, he said
01:23:04.740
We talked to Tom Althouse, the original creator of the matrix.
01:23:08.400
And once we really got down to it, so he says, I don't know, dude is holding like these,
01:23:12.980
uh, manuscripts and everything and everything is stamped and approved and there's seals on
01:23:17.740
And you know, this and that, I mean, it's a hell of a story to make up if it is a made
01:23:21.560
up story, but either way, midway through the episode, he's like, it came to me like
01:23:26.620
Well, how many people say that about their dreams?
01:23:28.880
He'll tell about their dreams all the time where they're like, I had this dream.
01:23:34.740
Like I woke up and I like had to write, or I woke up and I had to create this thing
01:23:46.160
Um, one day I woke up and I think, I don't know what this is because we talk about dreams
01:23:52.540
all the time on this show and now we have a drop for it every single time.
01:23:55.240
Um, but I woke up one day and I swear I'm like the worst because if the spiritual realm
01:24:00.620
is trying to nudge me to like do a thing, I'm like too lazy because I woke up and for
01:24:07.980
I just had this memory of, uh, Ugaritic texts, the Ugaritic texts, Ugaritic texts was like
01:24:13.920
in my head, like echoing in my head when I woke up and I was like, what is that?
01:24:19.800
And then I simply never made any effort to do anything about it.
01:24:22.640
Like it was like everything in me was compelling me to like look up, research, Ugaritic texts,
01:24:26.820
look into the U, something about, and I was like, nah, I simply can't do that.
01:24:31.220
But how many people listen to a thing like that, they pursue it and there's something
01:24:36.100
there and then it opens up this doorway to some, you know, massive body of work or whatever.
01:24:40.980
Um, Robert, what could have happened for you a lot, David?
01:24:48.520
What could have happened if you looked into it?
01:24:51.440
I mean, sometimes I look it up and then I remember, I forget what the hell it said.
01:24:56.360
You know, I know that, I don't know if it's got something to do with like the Dead Sea Scrolls
01:24:59.680
or something like that, but you know, it's like, oh, there's something here.
01:25:03.680
I know among the Dead Sea Scrolls is where like that book of Enoch, I think was found or
01:25:11.140
Spiritual realm is highly disappointed with me.
01:25:13.360
Um, but I, I think this guy out here with his podcast, he's got this thing where he's
01:25:19.620
saying all this shit and instead he's saying dumb things.
01:25:22.120
Um, so yeah, man, I think that all of that is, is on the table.
01:25:27.940
Here's Natalie Spooner firing up the battle ropes.
01:25:44.760
Hard to believe you get all of that with one membership.
01:25:53.540
Planet Fitness, the official gym of Hockey Canada.
01:25:55.900
Uh, so when I look at that film, Dark Water, I think somebody was just an unwitting participant
01:26:03.120
in something that was more spiritual than they probably, in fact, I think a lot of the times
01:26:08.700
when assholes are on stages accepting awards for this great work or that great work, like
01:26:16.640
You were the facilitator of a thing that was nudged spiritually.
01:26:20.340
I wonder how much, uh, this woman, the, the Asian lady played in like, like actual knowing
01:26:27.220
If, if something like that did happen to her, but what happens, what happens afterward?
01:26:32.500
So there's this investigation, nobody knows, and the hotel is shut down.
01:26:43.020
It looks like, uh, the hotel shut down like 2021.
01:26:48.420
So it was featured on ghost adventures in 2021 because it'd been like it, their claim was
01:26:57.300
Um, it opened for that crew, but like it had been closed.
01:27:02.480
I'm trying to find in my notes when it was closed.
01:27:10.260
Like, it was this the final straw or it was just like, no, I think this is a health violation.
01:27:14.340
So it had been open and closed prior because like they used it.
01:27:20.240
They, it closed down as a hotel, but then they used it for, um, like, uh, section eight
01:27:29.840
So I used it for like section eight housing for a while too.
01:27:36.480
Adding to the layers of, of, I used to live in a section eight building.
01:27:42.800
Well, actually I've lived in twice in section eight buildings and one of them, my, my, my
01:27:49.020
wife, we would see just this little shadow all the time, peeking around corners.
01:27:55.820
You know, every time we would turn, it felt like.
01:28:01.400
How could they not be haunted when you look at the behavior of the people that live there?
01:28:10.820
Your electric is free for the most part, but you're living with animals and you guys, like
01:28:15.880
you come out of your apartments, you kill each other, you shoot each other.
01:28:25.820
You could hear the screaming, you know, between couples or families behind closed doors.
01:28:31.020
It's a haunted place, but we don't look at it like that.
01:28:35.520
And we'll like, kind of like make fun of it in a way.
01:28:38.120
But also like, like all the anger, that's like that, what it's like the, like the energy
01:28:49.180
And that's, that's what these things feed off of.
01:28:53.460
And so it's weird when it's around, like, I guess, whatever would be racist, but it's
01:28:59.800
Like for some reason, shadow people, I don't consider it haunted, right?
01:29:10.820
They put all the black people in one area and they created it to be a ghetto, to be what
01:29:15.260
And it's just like, and they gave them crack and they would kill each other.
01:29:18.520
Well, I mean, the, the story of the projects where I'm from is like, they were created in
01:29:23.140
the seventies and it was actually a pretty nice, diverse community of like all, all people.
01:29:28.400
My, my parents are Puerto Rican, but there was like Irish people, you know, obviously
01:29:31.820
like lower class on the, on the monetary scale.
01:29:35.280
And then when, then when like black people were started to be pushed into, into these places.
01:29:42.260
And again, it's like, is, I don't, I don't know.
01:29:44.400
It's like, it's fun to just be racist and be like, yeah, black people.
01:29:50.460
Well, there's a level of misery that's like stacked on itself.
01:29:53.480
And it's like, what happens when you, you put all the poor people in one spot, which
01:29:56.780
you're guaranteeing is you're putting all of the energy of despair and frustration and
01:30:06.820
Like if you talk to my parents who grew up there, when it was like a, and I think I know
01:30:12.460
what it is, if we're going to be serious, it's, it's not necessarily race.
01:30:16.620
Um, because when they grew up there, there's a lot of people, there's like a whole mixed
01:30:21.880
generation of people from every race that you can, besides Chinese, they weren't really
01:30:29.300
Like the, everyone, you know, they had their struggles.
01:30:31.220
They, if they could pay, they helped each other out.
01:30:36.060
When the black people came in, they came in with, uh, like this crack epidemic.
01:30:42.200
So you're, we're, we're adding like this race layer that everyone, it's very easy to
01:30:47.560
There's a principality associated with that sort of drug use.
01:30:51.380
Because it doesn't make sense why such a beautiful play, like the, the projects there are
01:30:56.160
Like some of them, uh, in Coney Island, you can go and it has like panorama windows of
01:31:04.840
And then to the left, you can see like the boardwalk and the, the Ferris wheel.
01:31:10.260
Like on the top four, I'm like, this is a million dollar condo you should be paying for, but
01:31:16.920
And it's like that probably because of, I mean, once the drugs are inserted, there's
01:31:20.180
just a downward spiral in whatever happened there.
01:31:23.220
And it's like, it, again, it's easy to exacerbate it, right?
01:31:25.860
They, they facilitate the, the crack epidemic by flooding the hood with cocaine.
01:31:30.720
And then what they do is they launched the war on drugs, which either, if you don't die
01:31:34.920
from the crack trade, you meeting all the violence associated with the, you know, and
01:31:39.460
the gangs and everything that are associated with selling it, uh, you end up in prison because
01:31:43.420
of the war on drugs, then you destabilize every household that's in that area.
01:31:48.020
So there's a, there's a principality associated with this, with this drug.
01:31:52.680
Um, and there's a heaviness from, you know, all the violence that's associated with selling
01:31:58.220
And then whatever is left, the men get thrown in prison.
01:32:05.640
If the men are the spiritual head of the household, they're gone.
01:32:11.640
So the family is vulnerable to all of the spiritual, you know, comings and goings.
01:32:16.640
The question is like, how come they didn't flood the area, like this specific area that
01:32:22.740
we're talking about with drugs prior to the black people coming to that area?
01:32:26.600
Like it's the projects anyway, it's, it's low income anyway.
01:32:29.340
Because they made an effort to destroy the black community.
01:32:34.940
So if you didn't want to destroy a community, this is exactly how you do it.
01:32:42.660
Because this is what you think of like, yeah, like when you think of like hauntings in the
01:32:47.840
You think of like hauntings with, hauntings are like white people shit.
01:32:53.660
You don't hear of black people being haunted because they don't want black people to realize
01:32:58.800
that there's a spiritual implication to what they're dealing with.
01:33:06.080
Like when, when I go, I have to go to New York in two weeks.
01:33:13.480
And I'm like, not looking forward to it because there is a spiritual heaviness of this.
01:33:16.520
Like when you go there, damn, it needs, that place needs an exorcism.
01:33:30.080
So you create heavy spiritual warfare against the black community and then you make it culturally
01:33:37.240
humorous to, to associate like ghosts and black people.
01:33:40.980
Like black people specifically don't deal with ghosts, which I don't think there's ever really
01:33:45.620
I think there are things masquerading as dead children and shit, whatever you're going to
01:33:53.280
Um, which is why they always present that way either as a murdered woman or, uh, or a lost
01:33:58.980
child spirit because they're luring you in to, to engage with them.
01:34:02.500
And then as soon as you do that, you know, it has some sort of foothold on your life.
01:34:09.320
I always thought the leprechaun was horrifying too.
01:34:16.660
Cause there was Leprechaun, which was like a scary movie.
01:34:19.660
And then there was like Leprechaun in the hood.
01:34:25.720
So I never watched the Leprechaun, the scary movie because I don't do scary movies.
01:34:36.260
It's like when Scream and all like, um, like the scary movie was all coming out.
01:34:44.260
Um, somebody in the chat brought up the idea of voodoo too, which is like, yeah, a certain
01:34:50.340
people group, you know, has principalities that they're more vulnerable to.
01:34:56.960
So that's why you get like voodoo or hoodoo that comes from like Haiti and things of that
01:35:03.120
Africa has its own ancestral spiritual worship that they are accustomed to.
01:35:11.540
I was making the joke before about like, I don't understand, uh, Chinese people or Korean
01:35:16.120
people, but it's like, nah, their customs are going to be foreign to what.
01:35:22.180
And they're, they're engaging in a lot of that ancestral, uh, worship and things of
01:35:26.380
So yeah, man, I mean, I think maybe it just so happens that because Irish and obviously
01:35:34.200
they have, there's a, there's deep Catholicism with it within, you know, Irish and Italians.
01:35:39.040
And so they have their own thing when you look into like the Druids and Celtic mythology and
01:35:45.040
stuff when it comes to, uh, Scottish and, and Irish lore.
01:35:51.060
And maybe, maybe, I don't know, maybe that kind of thing is experiencing a resurgence.
01:35:54.560
But, um, when it comes to like, especially migrants from, from Africa or from Haiti in particular, or any of these places, like, yeah, they were just experiencing that ancestral worship, uh, these, uh, nature deities and things like that.
01:36:10.520
And then all of a sudden they're here and, you know, they're trying to assimilate and shit is really hard.
01:36:16.580
Especially when the government is weaponizing your music against you, uh, you know, flooding
01:36:22.160
the hoods with, with crack red lining so that you can't buy property anywhere.
01:36:26.780
You can't get approved for a mortgage outside of the hood.
01:36:29.140
You know, there's a lot of things that are, it's almost like an experiment on like how spiritually
01:36:34.140
twisted can you make an area and a, and a people group.
01:36:42.620
Let me answer your question because I found, I found my, the answer to your question is when
01:36:48.520
So in 2014, uh, Richard Bourne from New York bought the hotel.
01:36:56.780
They promised they were going to like preserve the architecture or whatever.
01:37:00.780
In 2017, they actually closed it for renovations.
01:37:05.100
So they stopped the renovations in December of 2021.
01:37:08.640
One, they reopened as an affordable housing complex operated by the Skid Row housing trust.
01:37:17.860
And then, um, now Reverend Dylan Littlefield performs acts of service at the Cecil hotel
01:37:29.780
And so the hotel has been for sale since 2024 in 2025, there's still residents living in
01:37:36.500
the hotel, but the Skid Row housing trust phone number is no longer in service.
01:37:43.000
They're not the people operating the facility anymore.
01:37:54.360
That is one of the heaviest spiritual, then go, Hey, let's give this to poor people.
01:38:04.280
They're like, Oh, this has been, there's so much like death and destruction and despair
01:38:09.760
Let's go ahead and move a bunch of poor people into it.
01:38:13.840
This is what, like we're, we're doing a food drive.
01:38:20.360
So probably like the fifth or six or something.
01:38:22.720
We raised, we raised a good amount of money for it.
01:38:26.080
Cause it's like a lot of money, but like, I don't want to give, like, if we're given
01:38:29.420
to people that are poor, I don't want to give them shit.
01:38:42.560
Cause I, I was like, we can go to Publix and just buy nothing but beer.
01:38:48.240
You can buy a lot of cheap stuff that are like all this.
01:38:50.740
That's why I was talking about the church and like, uh, using, using their, uh, their
01:38:55.480
Because if you buy these perishables, most of them are like, you know, it's toxic garbage.
01:38:59.780
And then you really think about what got this person here in the first place.
01:39:02.380
It's like, yeah, a lot of that, a lot of swap of all varieties.
01:39:05.800
Well, they're going to be sick and they're going to like, when you're sick and you eat a bunch
01:39:09.980
of like junk and then like, you don't really want to move and you want to just like sit
01:39:13.360
around and then you're lazy and now you're eating those Doritos and drinking.
01:39:16.220
The soda while you're playing video games, because that's all you have the energy to
01:39:20.660
But like now those video games have with your head and people have anxiety because
01:39:24.620
they're just scrolling on social media all day long and they just eat junk food.
01:39:27.860
And your microbiome, your gut microbiome is like the second brain that causes the depression
01:39:33.020
that caused the anxiety that causes inflammation that causes all this, um, immunity, it like
01:39:39.080
And you're just like feeding that with like shit food.
01:39:44.560
Here's Natalie Spooner firing up the battle ropes.
01:40:01.060
Hard to believe you get all of that with one membership.
01:40:09.840
Planet Fitness, the official gym of Hockey Canada.
01:40:19.520
This, this, um, this hotel, you said it's on Skid Row.
01:40:26.860
I wonder if I want, man, I, I think what you're missing here with, with the, uh,
01:40:33.860
I guess your deep dive into this is like, you probably got a deep dive into Skid Row.
01:40:39.540
Because if this place was there before that neighborhood went to trash and in the neighborhood
01:40:44.580
goes to trash because of policy, but there's like, there are other factors as well.
01:40:48.240
So you kind of have to factor in all of these things and see like what happened here.
01:40:54.360
Was that, was this a hotel, the catalyst or was, is this hotel just kind of a, a symptom
01:41:02.540
It is interesting that there are sick areas though, because like not all of LA went to
01:41:11.680
So it makes you wonder, like, I mean, if the theory that the Cecil hotel is this portal,
01:41:24.820
It's interesting that it's a, a tower, or can you bring this up top?
01:41:31.100
Like, you know, you have this land that is, you know, poisoned and then you have this tower
01:41:40.840
Like, it's like this, you know, almost like the enemy planting its flag in its stronghold.
01:41:47.620
You know, it's like what happens below there on the baseline is Skid Row.
01:41:53.560
It's this, I mean, incredible level of despair.
01:41:56.840
It's the same thing with like Kensington, you know, where you look at it and you, you're
01:42:00.480
just like, this is a real spiritual stronghold.
01:42:04.340
And, and then hovering above it is suicide tower.
01:42:11.700
Like looking at it when Skid Row really came to prominence, you're seeing a lot of deaths
01:42:17.960
And then into the eighties when we have like, um, you know, the serial killers that come in.
01:42:22.740
Well, that's going to happen because the area is bad.
01:42:42.200
It just feels like, um, sort of a, a, a unique case in a body of really horrific shit, not
01:42:52.760
And then you zoom out and what are you really looking at?
01:42:55.100
You're looking at LA, you know, which is what is, what, what, what is Losa?
01:43:07.660
Like the more you zoom out on that situation, the more you realize like, this is just all
01:43:24.520
I've heard people say that where you get off the plane at LA and you could just feel like
01:43:28.100
the spiritual, I've never been, I have no interest in, in going.
01:43:31.080
Like have you ever been to a place where you get off the plane?
01:43:38.500
When I went to New Orleans, you could feel like there was really something there.
01:43:43.740
Um, and, and a lot of it, you know, the, the stuff.
01:43:49.480
And it gives itself away, meaning you could just look at it and go like, Oh, it's pretty
01:43:54.020
And of course, you know, within the lore of, uh, of, of New Orleans, it's nothing but voodoo
01:43:59.880
and, and, uh, you know, Santa Muerta and all this shit that, that they do out there.
01:44:05.260
But, um, the look of it too, you know, the architecture, it's like this, um, it's beautiful,
01:44:15.200
It's, there's like, you know, this, this, uh, what would you call it?
01:44:24.460
And, and it's like, when you look at it, you're like, it's part of a tourist attraction.
01:44:30.380
It's this window into a time where, yeah, I mean, you know, we had all these people,
01:44:35.260
people here from different countries and we were importing people from Haiti, like crazy
01:44:40.480
And this is like the epicenter for like, uh, vampire lore in America is new Orleans.
01:44:47.220
And they've not changed anything about this place.
01:44:49.740
And when you look at it, you're like, the only thing that's holding this building together
01:44:53.700
is something spiritual because for all intents and purposes, it should be, uh, vacant.
01:45:00.180
It should be, what do you, what do you, what do you call it when this, when this, when
01:45:03.220
the city shuts a place down, you know, like it's condemned, it should be condemned, but
01:45:07.980
instead there are people going in there, they're serving drinks, you're having food, but you're
01:45:11.540
looking at it and you go, this doesn't make any sense, man.
01:45:16.120
And then you look at, um, you know, what happened where the, where the, the levees broke,
01:45:24.280
You know, all the death and the looting and it's just like additional layers of, of,
01:45:35.180
I mean, as soon as the, the sun, you don't have to wait for the sun to go down, dude.
01:45:40.620
Like we can, we can look, we just talked about this case for like an hour and a half.
01:45:44.360
And really, I think what we're looking at is this larger picture of everything around
01:45:48.820
it, like this lady is just, uh, she's just a circumstance.
01:45:53.920
She's a symptom of, of one of many things that has and will happen in this spot.
01:46:01.580
Like it's, it's the reason why I left New York because I got to a certain point and I
01:46:07.040
looked around me and I was like, what's left to save?
01:46:09.100
Like, what could you actually pull out of this dump?
01:46:12.800
Like if you buy that hotel, you could fix it up.
01:46:20.500
Daniel and Babylon, like Daniel didn't fix Babylon, but he's, he's there in Babylon.
01:46:26.380
There's still like, God still has people who are, you know, on that side in that place.
01:46:39.000
Like, I don't think, I don't think LA gets saved.
01:46:43.400
I think if there's really a dude in the Cecil hotel, who's a reverend and he's bringing
01:46:49.400
God to these people, like that guy is doing really serious work.
01:46:53.780
If that's the nature of what he's doing, like that's unbelievable work.
01:46:59.400
I don't think God calls that reverend to save Skid Row, the Cecil hotel, Los Angeles.
01:47:05.400
I think there are just people in the belly of the beast that are saving souls and, and
01:47:10.320
that's about the best that you're going to get until something, you know, until New Jerusalem
01:47:16.640
Like, I don't think that, I think those places are gone.
01:47:24.740
It's harder to look past because of all the crazy things.
01:47:30.100
But I mean, you could say that about so many different places, like how many places are
01:47:33.300
haunted, quote unquote, because people have died there.
01:47:36.360
Um, but really it's just a symptom of the area.
01:47:43.380
I think it's just like the concentration of it.
01:47:46.460
I think it's like, if you were looking for, um, the head of the zit, it might be right there.
01:47:52.680
It might be like the Cecil hotel, you know, and the irritation around it.
01:47:57.520
Like I said, in where they built those affordable.
01:48:01.360
Where they built the affordable housing projects in Coney Island, it's a peninsula, but the
01:48:07.400
surrounding area is called Graves End and they call that for a reason.
01:48:10.440
Like that's where the graves end from the Indians that they killed.
01:48:13.780
So it's like that house, my old house and all these places built on Indian burial ground.
01:48:19.060
And then you kind of wonder why this place is forsaken.
01:48:37.500
I'm leaning more towards the idea that like she, um, she got in there through some sort
01:48:46.000
Like she didn't, she wasn't conventionally, you know, climbing into it.
01:48:52.680
I just feel like there would be so much evidence.
01:48:55.660
I mean, if they're, if they're bringing out the dogs, um, then after this case came to
01:49:01.660
a head and they found her, they would have done some sort of forensics.
01:49:05.540
So if there was anything that was worth anything that indicated somebody else was involved,
01:49:10.240
anybody, anything that indicated that she, you know, did this on her own, you know, uh,
01:49:14.720
it just, I feel like it would have come up, but instead you're left with these strange
01:49:18.800
Like there's no marks, there's no signs of anybody else being involved.
01:49:21.820
Like, it sounds like we don't understand the way she got in there.
01:49:25.960
How many times, I don't know if you listen to a lot of true crime, but how many, how many
01:49:31.860
murders, how many times have like somebody has clearly murdered this person and they're
01:49:36.340
like, ah, accidental drowning, ah, accidental, accidental death, natural causes.
01:49:43.880
You're like, no, there's strangulation marks on their neck.
01:49:49.940
I also, I think that they typically will find, um, you know, you watch like these, these for
01:49:57.140
the few that I have and the way that they figure out like the involvement of, you know, this
01:50:02.260
other perpetrator is like through the most obscure shit.
01:50:05.920
You know, we found DNA strands, we found hair, we found the same mud on this shoe prints that
01:50:12.040
we found in the tires that belong to the RAV4 that this fucking dude drove.
01:50:17.000
Like, it's like all these things and here they're like nothing, nothing.
01:50:23.920
Um, yeah, that's what, like you said, was she murdered?
01:50:35.340
I don't, I, those are like two separate things.
01:50:43.740
And then she was in there, but like not put in there.
01:50:54.040
Well, so she could have been experiencing a manic episode, but what you have to understand
01:50:57.840
or what you have to remember is that she had her medication in her system.
01:51:06.320
Here's Natalie Spooner firing up the battle ropes.

Hard to believe you get all of that with one membership.
01:51:31.580
Planet Fitness, the official gym of Hockey Canada.
01:51:33.940
Typically, when you're bipolar, like you find a good cocktail, you're good.
01:51:38.800
And so like you can really regulate your your moods.
01:51:41.840
You're not doing like massive like dips and spikes.
01:51:46.200
And she was on her depression medication as well.
01:51:48.560
So if she was having a manic episode, that means that none of her medication was working.
01:51:52.940
But she's still taking it because typically what I've experienced with bipolar is that they will stop taking their medicine because they're feeling good.
01:52:04.260
But if she's still taking it, it was in her system.
01:52:10.580
Well, that's where I don't believe that she's in a manic episode at all.
01:52:13.440
Well, the thing about that is I mean, there was a video going viral recently where a guy was wearing I think those like Ray-Bans kind of, you know, that records.
01:52:27.980
He's describing his symptoms and they're giving him a diagnosis and they're giving him a prescription.
01:52:33.020
And he'll go to another doctor, you know, psychologist, whatever, describe the exact same set of symptoms, different diagnosis, different prescription.
01:52:50.700
And it's like he gets hit with like, you know, depression, bipolar, bipolar, schizophrenic, you know, whatever.
01:52:59.520
Like every possible, you know, damning psychological diagnosis you can get, this guy gets it.
01:53:06.020
But he's telling them all the same shit, which goes to show you like it's like, yeah, see, Marnie Mack said that she's seen it.
01:53:11.740
It was going viral and it's like, wait a second, what?
01:53:15.040
So you can bring the same symptoms to a different doctor.
01:53:17.500
They'll give you a different prescription, some shit you can't even pronounce, and a different diagnosis.
01:53:22.920
So what I'm getting at is under a different diagnosis, she could have been diagnosed bipolar, schizophrenic.
01:53:31.920
And if she was bipolar, schizophrenic, I would definitely be more grounded in my assumption that this is demonic in nature.
01:53:40.740
But if she had just a different instead of just manic bipolar or whatever the hell it was, if it was bipolar, schizophrenic, I would have said, oh, yeah, this is 100% demonic.
01:53:49.280
I think we need a little bit more background on her because like, is she prone to having these schizophrenic almost episodes, right?
01:53:57.760
Because that, like, to me, watching that video, it almost seems schizophrenic.
01:54:04.020
So like, is she prone to this type of behavior?
01:54:08.600
Or is this something that she's never experienced before?
01:54:11.780
However, and that's why, like, her roommates, her roommate, her roommates, her sister, like, not her roommates, but whoever was in, like, staying in the same room as her, and her sister had also said that they were worried about her erratic behavior.
01:54:25.860
Because, like, to me, if I was worried about my sister's erratic behavior, but she's often doing this, I'd be like, this is a symptom of her bipolar.
01:54:34.940
This is a symptom of her schizophrenia, whatever it is a symptom, like, she has this diagnosis, and she does this a lot.
01:54:43.840
But, like, your sister is saying, I'm worried about her erratic behavior, as if that's not normal.
01:54:52.700
That's something that I would be very interested in knowing, is like, what is her history with that?
01:55:02.480
And was that hotel coordinating, in a way, with her behavior?
01:55:08.440
So she was still in university, by the way, that's interesting.
01:55:12.860
So she wasn't even, like, I was wondering what her occupation was, because sometimes there's, I would be interested in knowing her family.
01:55:19.720
Because, you know, very often when you look into an individual that has a tragedy that befalls them, and there's also, in conjunction, some mental health issue, you will find, like, oh, yeah.
01:55:33.040
And then, very close relative was military intelligence.
01:55:39.020
So I would be interested in knowing that, but that's not what I'm getting right now.
01:55:50.160
But I think it's just one thing that stands out in a sea of strange shit.
01:55:54.540
In fact, I bet you, if anybody cared to look, you would find that the people that are on the ground level there at Skid Row all have the most horrifying and supernatural testimonies.
01:56:06.960
You know, you look at the whole Kensington Avenue thing, and everybody's walking around like zombies, or not walking around, just standing and frozen in time, which you see that all the time.
01:56:18.420
And if you gave these people the time of day, if you can get any clarity out of them, I'm sure that you would get supernatural testimony after supernatural testimony after supernatural testimony.
01:56:31.280
And it's just one of those things I don't think we're going to get answers for.
01:56:34.480
But, you know, it's interesting to hear what the Cecil Hotel has turned into, which is Section 8 housing where a reverend is working.
01:56:45.880
Now it's just housing where, like, homeless, it's basically homeless housing run by nobody.
01:56:50.100
But the reverend is there, like, doing God's work.
01:56:55.980
Because we could find him and get – he's probably busy.
01:56:59.020
I mean, I'm sure he would take some time because he's trying to bring, like, awareness to it.
01:57:03.440
Like, if he can bring awareness to it, maybe he can get help.
01:57:05.460
I wonder if he would be cautious in his characterization of what he's doing because I know if you're desperate for help, you often want to stay away from the more fantastic elements of whatever it is that you're doing because you then narrow the doorway through which people might enter to offer you help.
01:57:24.380
But, yeah, that would be interesting maybe to reach out to him.
01:57:30.520
Before we get out of here one more time, let's let everybody know where they can find you.
