00:00:04.519 --> 00:00:10.000
Hi Caitlin, Hi Cassie, Hi creepy people. Hello, we had
2
00:00:10.039 --> 00:00:12.599
so much fun hanging out in our costumes that we
3
00:00:12.759 --> 00:00:15.160
just decided that we would give you another bonus and
4
00:00:15.199 --> 00:00:20.199
don't leave them on hang out do bonus stuff. Yeah,
5
00:00:20.239 --> 00:00:23.839
because it's Halloween season and we think you deserve it.
6
00:00:24.160 --> 00:00:26.079
You would deserve it. You worked hard to get to
7
00:00:26.079 --> 00:00:32.920
the spooky season. It's right, and we're rewarding you. And
8
00:00:33.000 --> 00:00:38.520
I said that right the first time. M hm cheers.
9
00:00:38.799 --> 00:00:44.479
So we've been drinking wine. I mean like a glass,
10
00:00:44.520 --> 00:00:47.000
not too much, like just you know, five of these
11
00:00:47.039 --> 00:00:48.119
little tiny glasses.
12
00:00:48.200 --> 00:00:52.880
Fine, I think we've got like a half a bottle
13
00:00:52.960 --> 00:00:53.880
between us.
14
00:00:54.079 --> 00:00:56.119
So I feel like it's not that bad. Oh, nothing
15
00:00:56.200 --> 00:00:58.759
too crazy. He's just trying to make excuses for my
16
00:00:58.799 --> 00:01:02.280
mouth where it's not working. I mean it happens fast, yeah, yeah,
17
00:01:02.359 --> 00:01:05.760
with the mouth. Where's it happens real fast. Well, if
18
00:01:05.799 --> 00:01:08.000
you don't know who we are, this is PNW Haunts
19
00:01:08.040 --> 00:01:11.799
and Homicides. Oh right. We chat about true crime, the paranormal,
20
00:01:12.040 --> 00:01:17.280
anything spooky in the Pacific Northwest and sometimes we do bonuses. Yeah. Yeah,
21
00:01:17.480 --> 00:01:20.840
that's what today is. That's that's what we're doing. So
22
00:01:21.560 --> 00:01:25.079
I mentioned this to Caitlin a while back, like not
23
00:01:25.120 --> 00:01:29.159
that long ago, it was pretty recent, like fifteen minutes ago.
24
00:01:29.920 --> 00:01:32.799
It was a longer ago than that, like in between
25
00:01:32.840 --> 00:01:36.400
a long time and fifteen minutes. Yeah, but she didn't
26
00:01:36.480 --> 00:01:40.120
know what this was at first when I mentioned it. No,
27
00:01:40.439 --> 00:01:42.159
but then I told her it was kind of looped
28
00:01:42.159 --> 00:01:44.599
in with a true crime story and she's like, oh, yeah,
29
00:01:44.959 --> 00:01:48.400
I know that. I know exactly what you're talking about.
30
00:01:48.480 --> 00:01:51.079
I know that ish Yeah. So I was like, well,
31
00:01:51.200 --> 00:01:53.760
let me shittily explain it to you in like one sentence,
32
00:01:53.959 --> 00:01:58.519
and that was cool. It suffeist for then. Yeah, but
33
00:01:58.599 --> 00:02:01.319
I was like, well, what if I actually go deeper
34
00:02:01.359 --> 00:02:03.400
into this and tell her all of the ins and
35
00:02:03.439 --> 00:02:07.439
outs of the Elevator game, A.
36
00:02:07.480 --> 00:02:11.800
Game I would simply never play. I feel not even.
37
00:02:11.639 --> 00:02:15.439
At the Benson. I don't know. I think it's big enough.
38
00:02:15.479 --> 00:02:18.639
You need like ten floors. Oh, how tall is the Benson.
39
00:02:18.759 --> 00:02:21.039
I don't think it's anywhere near that tall. I don't know,
40
00:02:21.280 --> 00:02:24.039
look pretty tall from the outside. Okay, well I'll look
41
00:02:24.159 --> 00:02:27.000
go look it up. I want to know. Oh, it's
42
00:02:27.039 --> 00:02:29.800
twelve stories. Okay, I'm like, it went it went away off.
43
00:02:29.840 --> 00:02:31.759
You're totally right, I don't know why. I was like,
44
00:02:31.840 --> 00:02:35.120
it's like three stories. We did only go to two stories,
45
00:02:35.159 --> 00:02:36.800
like we went to the first level and then the
46
00:02:36.879 --> 00:02:40.719
second level, so we didn't quite get to see all
47
00:02:40.759 --> 00:02:42.840
of the building yet. Yeah.
48
00:02:42.919 --> 00:02:46.759
Yeah, and it's actually technically a thirteen story hotel.
49
00:02:47.560 --> 00:02:54.120
No way. Yeah, I want to go do the Elevator
50
00:02:54.159 --> 00:02:59.400
game at the Benson c It's totally fine. I'll tell
51
00:02:59.400 --> 00:03:00.800
you how to play. We'll be fine.
52
00:03:01.280 --> 00:03:04.680
I'm getting two different answers here. Some are saying twelve,
53
00:03:04.800 --> 00:03:06.000
some are saying thirteen.
54
00:03:06.319 --> 00:03:10.319
So I don't know, maybe because they don't count like
55
00:03:10.439 --> 00:03:14.039
the thirteenth or well, I was thinking maybe they don't count.
56
00:03:14.199 --> 00:03:18.319
The lobby is level one. I don't know, and because
57
00:03:18.360 --> 00:03:20.840
like lobby and then one, two, three, I don't know.
58
00:03:21.240 --> 00:03:25.120
Oh could be yeah, that might make sense, actually I try.
59
00:03:25.520 --> 00:03:30.479
Yeah, look at you. I go in a lot of elevators.
60
00:03:31.080 --> 00:03:36.879
It's probably a normal amount. Yeah, just like average. Well,
61
00:03:36.919 --> 00:03:40.439
this game is also called the Elevator to Another World.
62
00:03:41.000 --> 00:03:44.080
No thank you, or I think the Elevator rituals one
63
00:03:44.120 --> 00:03:48.360
of them. Okay, do you wanna know how to play
64
00:03:48.400 --> 00:03:49.639
and what happens?
65
00:03:50.000 --> 00:03:52.759
I mean sure, I don't want to accidentally play it
66
00:03:53.159 --> 00:03:55.280
without even like realizing, So.
67
00:03:55.439 --> 00:03:57.120
It would be kind of hard, but I can see
68
00:03:57.120 --> 00:03:57.919
how you could do it.
69
00:03:58.280 --> 00:04:01.439
Oh okay, great, buttons.
70
00:04:02.400 --> 00:04:02.879
Just kidding.
71
00:04:03.120 --> 00:04:05.479
Oh is that like all there really is to it?
72
00:04:05.520 --> 00:04:06.520
I mean, I guess you're gonna tell me.
73
00:04:06.560 --> 00:04:08.080
Yeah, I'm gonna tell you. Okay, I'll let you know.
74
00:04:08.960 --> 00:04:10.719
Then we'll decide at the end if we're going to
75
00:04:10.800 --> 00:04:13.240
go to the Benson and play this. Okay. So the
76
00:04:13.280 --> 00:04:17.680
Elevator game is an urban legend, and they say it
77
00:04:17.720 --> 00:04:22.199
started in Korea, or some say Japan. I don't know
78
00:04:22.199 --> 00:04:24.959
if they're just kind of like lumping them in together.
79
00:04:25.279 --> 00:04:28.720
You're like, are you not sure which country? Yeah, but
80
00:04:28.800 --> 00:04:33.680
I think a lot more places say it originated in Korea. Interesting, okay.
81
00:04:34.480 --> 00:04:41.079
And this game kind of gained popularity in like twenty
82
00:04:41.160 --> 00:04:47.759
thirteen because of a very sad thing, Alisa Lamb's death
83
00:04:48.120 --> 00:04:53.240
at the Cecil Hotel in La and so there there
84
00:04:53.360 --> 00:04:56.439
was footage of her kind of acting strange in an
85
00:04:56.519 --> 00:04:59.600
elevator and so people just kind of were like, Oh,
86
00:04:59.720 --> 00:05:03.600
she's playing the Elevator game, and like that's what killed her.
87
00:05:04.439 --> 00:05:06.600
I don't obviously, I don't think that's true.
88
00:05:07.199 --> 00:05:11.040
Yeah, kind of seems like not so much, because if
89
00:05:11.040 --> 00:05:13.600
it's supposed to be taking you to another world like
90
00:05:13.720 --> 00:05:16.839
that piece of it did not work out to be true.
91
00:05:16.959 --> 00:05:21.920
Yeah, spoiler alert, unless it took her there and spat
92
00:05:21.920 --> 00:05:24.480
her back out, because there's some there's some weird things
93
00:05:24.480 --> 00:05:26.639
that happen at the end if you don't end it right.
94
00:05:27.639 --> 00:05:31.000
Oh but obviously I don't think that's what happened to her,
95
00:05:31.120 --> 00:05:34.519
but okay, yeah, but kind of like a wigiboard, like yeah,
96
00:05:34.600 --> 00:05:37.240
like if you don't close it out right, okay, have
97
00:05:37.319 --> 00:05:45.279
you left so so intense. But that's the reason it
98
00:05:45.519 --> 00:05:48.600
got kind of linked to her stories because there was
99
00:05:48.680 --> 00:05:51.600
footage of her in an elevator, and then obviously online
100
00:05:52.680 --> 00:05:55.680
people wit nuts about it and have all of their
101
00:05:55.720 --> 00:06:00.000
own theories about true crime and so all of the sleuths,
102
00:06:00.160 --> 00:06:06.160
it's forever linked, unfortunately. Yeah, so this is a game.
103
00:06:06.240 --> 00:06:09.720
You can play alone, or you can share this experience
104
00:06:09.759 --> 00:06:14.000
with a friend. Caitlin, it did my weird wink. That
105
00:06:14.079 --> 00:06:19.000
was just my cheek moving. Yeah.
106
00:06:19.040 --> 00:06:23.879
I don't think that's as enticing or convincing as you
107
00:06:24.000 --> 00:06:24.839
might be thinking.
108
00:06:24.959 --> 00:06:29.399
Don't you want to play with me? I could be
109
00:06:29.439 --> 00:06:32.360
in a haunted house. I'd be really good. You really
110
00:06:32.360 --> 00:06:36.600
would be. Yeah, you were born for this. So it
111
00:06:36.680 --> 00:06:39.639
needs a building with at least ten floors, so the
112
00:06:39.720 --> 00:06:43.759
ventsen would work. We look that up and they say
113
00:06:43.800 --> 00:06:46.000
it does have to be a public building too, so
114
00:06:46.120 --> 00:06:48.839
not like your own private building. I guess if you
115
00:06:49.000 --> 00:06:51.480
have a building with ten floors when you just.
116
00:06:51.560 --> 00:06:55.560
Like casually own, Yeah, something that's ten or more stories.
117
00:06:55.680 --> 00:06:58.160
Yeah, so it does have to be a public and
118
00:06:58.279 --> 00:07:02.759
obviously it needs to have an elevator. Yeah, fair point,
119
00:07:02.879 --> 00:07:07.160
fair point, it is in the name of the game. Yeah. Yeah.
120
00:07:07.759 --> 00:07:11.319
To play this game, you get in the elevator and
121
00:07:11.399 --> 00:07:15.879
you ride the floors in a certain order. Oh and
122
00:07:15.959 --> 00:07:19.079
if someone enters the elevator on one of the floors
123
00:07:19.079 --> 00:07:22.319
that you stop at, or one of the players gets out,
124
00:07:22.480 --> 00:07:25.879
you have to restart. Oh okay, so you can't really
125
00:07:25.920 --> 00:07:27.920
interact with anybody.
126
00:07:28.160 --> 00:07:32.079
It's kind of starting to sound like Monopoly, like the
127
00:07:32.160 --> 00:07:35.600
longest game ever, because it's a hotel, and how the
128
00:07:35.680 --> 00:07:38.040
hell are you supposed to be uninterrupted?
129
00:07:38.319 --> 00:07:40.439
Right, Well, doesn't have to be a hotel, it just
130
00:07:40.480 --> 00:07:44.439
has to be a public building. True, but I don't
131
00:07:44.480 --> 00:07:47.160
know the cecil how pop in that was in the
132
00:07:47.199 --> 00:07:50.600
middle of the night, Like obviously some shit went down
133
00:07:50.639 --> 00:07:55.639
without anybody knowing, so yeah, yeah, that's true. Yeah, but
134
00:07:55.639 --> 00:07:58.120
the bed thy Yeah, it seemed pretty I feel like
135
00:07:58.120 --> 00:08:00.040
we would have to do it in the middle of
136
00:08:00.079 --> 00:08:03.199
the night, probably because it was people come in, and
137
00:08:03.839 --> 00:08:06.160
we said before they use the bar as like a
138
00:08:06.240 --> 00:08:09.279
public space, so it's not just people staying there that
139
00:08:09.319 --> 00:08:13.680
come in the building. Yeah, it's pretty busy, I imagine. Yeah.
140
00:08:14.040 --> 00:08:16.160
I don't know how many elevators they have to, like
141
00:08:16.199 --> 00:08:19.600
if they just have like one or if they have multiple.
142
00:08:19.720 --> 00:08:23.360
That obviously depends on the traffic.
143
00:08:24.600 --> 00:08:27.839
I think at the Benson they probably have just the
144
00:08:27.879 --> 00:08:32.720
one because remember she was talking about how and correct
145
00:08:32.720 --> 00:08:34.840
me if I'm remembering this wrong, but I think she
146
00:08:34.960 --> 00:08:37.000
was talking about how most hotels at the time would
147
00:08:37.039 --> 00:08:39.240
have had like a staircase on this side of the
148
00:08:39.279 --> 00:08:41.759
building and then a staircase on like the opposite side,
149
00:08:42.320 --> 00:08:45.799
and the Benson just has the one to get up
150
00:08:45.840 --> 00:08:51.039
to like guest rooms. So I think probably, I mean
151
00:08:51.360 --> 00:08:54.720
it's been renovated and things. Obviously we talked about that
152
00:08:54.879 --> 00:08:58.759
quite a bit, yeah, over the years, but I would
153
00:08:58.799 --> 00:09:03.960
think probably putting in just the one elevator, yeah, would
154
00:09:04.000 --> 00:09:06.159
be like the easiest way to go about it.
155
00:09:06.000 --> 00:09:08.399
But we'll have to see when we go back. Maybe
156
00:09:08.480 --> 00:09:11.320
service elevators, though I feel like that is a little
157
00:09:11.320 --> 00:09:14.440
bit different. Dude, using a service elevator would be like
158
00:09:15.080 --> 00:09:19.080
extra creepy for this game. I think, Yeah, I kind
159
00:09:19.080 --> 00:09:22.840
of want to do that. Okay, Okay, let's continue convincing
160
00:09:22.919 --> 00:09:25.360
Caaitln to never ever play this game, because that's basically
161
00:09:25.360 --> 00:09:29.120
what I'm doing here. Yeah. Essentially, so you start by
162
00:09:29.200 --> 00:09:33.879
going to the fourth floor, and then if there's no interruptions,
163
00:09:34.559 --> 00:09:36.919
no one comes in or out, you go down to
164
00:09:37.000 --> 00:09:40.559
the second floor. Okay. Then you go up to floor
165
00:09:40.679 --> 00:09:46.960
six okay, and then back down to floor two okay,
166
00:09:47.000 --> 00:09:50.759
and then all the way up to floor ten. Oh.
167
00:09:50.799 --> 00:09:53.399
And this is all like if anybody gets in or
168
00:09:53.399 --> 00:09:56.120
out at any point, you got to start all over again.
169
00:09:57.919 --> 00:10:00.240
So the next one you do, you go down to
170
00:10:00.399 --> 00:10:03.080
the fifth floor, and this is where some shit kind
171
00:10:03.080 --> 00:10:09.679
of starts to happen. Allegedly. If there's a woman that
172
00:10:09.960 --> 00:10:13.600
enters the elevator with you at the fifth floor, do
173
00:10:13.879 --> 00:10:18.720
not look at her, do not talk to her, like,
174
00:10:18.879 --> 00:10:22.039
don't acknowledge her at all. Pretend she does not exist.
175
00:10:22.759 --> 00:10:27.600
This woman is not a woman. Oh boy, she's not human.
176
00:10:28.080 --> 00:10:30.600
Oh boy, if you do talk to her, look at her,
177
00:10:31.000 --> 00:10:35.000
acknowledge her, she might decide that she needs to keep
178
00:10:35.039 --> 00:10:41.159
you for her own But for why, I don't know.
179
00:10:41.519 --> 00:10:47.080
It didn't say oh, to play with you. Also, I
180
00:10:47.120 --> 00:10:49.240
don't know how you're supposed to know, Like what if
181
00:10:49.240 --> 00:10:51.320
it's just a normal woman getting on at the fifth
182
00:10:51.360 --> 00:10:54.759
floor and you have to start all over. I mean,
183
00:10:54.840 --> 00:10:57.679
I guess you don't know until you know. But if
184
00:10:57.679 --> 00:11:01.200
it's at four five after doing the other sequences, just
185
00:11:01.279 --> 00:11:03.399
don't even even if you think it might be human,
186
00:11:03.559 --> 00:11:06.000
just like, don't yeah, don't acknowledge.
187
00:11:06.200 --> 00:11:11.200
I mean I feel like that really follows like my typical.
188
00:11:10.879 --> 00:11:16.679
Preference more interactions in a public setting. No thank you.
189
00:11:17.240 --> 00:11:19.600
I just wonder, like how hard she tries to get
190
00:11:19.679 --> 00:11:22.399
you to talk to her though, Oh, will she start
191
00:11:22.440 --> 00:11:25.399
talking to you? Like, hey, where are you from? What's
192
00:11:25.440 --> 00:11:29.480
a good restaurant in town? Like? Does she normal?
193
00:11:29.600 --> 00:11:32.320
You can't even look at her, so, I mean, is
194
00:11:32.360 --> 00:11:35.240
she doing something crazy that you can see like in
195
00:11:35.279 --> 00:11:36.440
the corner of your eye?
196
00:11:36.720 --> 00:11:40.600
Like yeah, I was just thinking like you can see
197
00:11:40.600 --> 00:11:46.480
her probably like on your peripheries, and I don't want that.
198
00:11:47.919 --> 00:11:49.559
I mean, I kind of do. I just want to
199
00:11:49.600 --> 00:11:53.879
see what happens, like I want to know, but I
200
00:11:53.879 --> 00:11:57.320
don't really need to experience it for myself. Fine, I'll
201
00:11:57.360 --> 00:11:59.799
do it by myself. To wait the lobby and make
202
00:11:59.840 --> 00:12:01.440
sure I come back. Yeah.
203
00:12:01.639 --> 00:12:04.399
Yeah, somebody called the Ghostbusters.
204
00:12:05.840 --> 00:12:07.639
So if you make it through that and you don't
205
00:12:07.679 --> 00:12:10.039
speak or talk to her, I guess she goes away.
206
00:12:11.039 --> 00:12:14.840
And then you have to press the first floor button. Okay.
207
00:12:15.080 --> 00:12:18.080
The elevator then will either go down to the first
208
00:12:18.080 --> 00:12:22.080
floor normally in which you exit and you never look back.
209
00:12:22.159 --> 00:12:28.480
You just leave, just go, but it might start going
210
00:12:28.600 --> 00:12:31.399
up to the tenth floor instead of the first floor
211
00:12:31.480 --> 00:12:35.639
like the button you pushed. Okay. If the elevator reaches
212
00:12:35.720 --> 00:12:40.799
the tenth floor without interruption, you can then exit the elevator.
213
00:12:40.840 --> 00:12:43.320
For the first time in this entire game, you are
214
00:12:43.360 --> 00:12:49.080
allowed to exit the elevator and if a woman asks
215
00:12:49.200 --> 00:12:52.919
in a very high pitched voice, where are you going?
216
00:12:53.240 --> 00:12:56.840
What's wrong? I don't know if that's her voice, that's
217
00:12:56.879 --> 00:12:59.120
just what I interpreted the high pitch to be. Well,
218
00:12:59.200 --> 00:13:02.240
I mean, I for one and hate it, but don't
219
00:13:02.279 --> 00:13:06.840
respond to her. Okay, do the same thing, totally ignore it. Okay.
220
00:13:06.960 --> 00:13:09.399
Once you get off on the tenth floor. You are
221
00:13:09.600 --> 00:13:13.879
in another world, okay, like you're there. You made it,
222
00:13:14.000 --> 00:13:20.360
you crossed over into the unknown, and you're alone there.
223
00:13:20.679 --> 00:13:22.919
I mean, you could have your partner who you're playing with,
224
00:13:23.039 --> 00:13:26.080
but otherwise, no one else is in this world except
225
00:13:26.080 --> 00:13:28.320
for I guess this person who's asking what's wrong. I
226
00:13:28.320 --> 00:13:29.879
don't know where they're at or where they come from.
227
00:13:29.960 --> 00:13:34.480
I feel like that's ominous. You might not. It looks
228
00:13:34.519 --> 00:13:36.240
like you don't see them, though you kind of just
229
00:13:36.320 --> 00:13:39.679
maybe hear them. I'm not really sure. Okay, there's not
230
00:13:39.759 --> 00:13:41.000
a ton of details.
231
00:13:41.399 --> 00:13:43.440
Yeah, I mean, I would imagine this would be a
232
00:13:43.440 --> 00:13:45.600
difficult thing to report back on.
233
00:13:45.799 --> 00:13:48.960
Yeah, yeah, Okay. Also, your husband just walked by the
234
00:13:49.039 --> 00:13:51.879
little crack in the door, and I almost peed my
235
00:13:51.960 --> 00:13:53.039
pants even though I just.
236
00:13:53.039 --> 00:14:00.120
Peed Holy shit, what are husbands for if not to
237
00:14:00.279 --> 00:14:02.840
make you a little bit freaked out, so much so.
238
00:14:02.879 --> 00:14:07.080
They almost scare the pepa out of you. It's fine, baby,
239
00:14:07.080 --> 00:14:10.799
you're scaring the pp out of us. What do you say?
240
00:14:10.799 --> 00:14:14.120
I'm sorry, I'm almost done. I don't know what he's doing.
241
00:14:14.320 --> 00:14:22.000
I never know what he's doing. Where's my meat loaf? Ma? Okay,
242
00:14:22.039 --> 00:14:25.519
so we're kind of distracting ourselves. Well, let's keep going
243
00:14:26.879 --> 00:14:27.679
because there's more.
