Starting point is 00:00:00 Close Cascade Activities and Twitching Tongues proudly present Twitchfits Volume 2. 10 more Misfits classics covered faithfully, streaming now, and available on Earth AD Purple Vinyl for 138 hours. Hello, welcome to this very spooky edition of haunt lore. We recommend watching this one because it's very scary and funny, but if you still feel like, listening and want to be scared just from some audio. That's cool too. Enjoy it. We had a great time.
Starting point is 00:00:39 Bye. Hello. Welcome. It's Hauntler time. Where are we, Bo? We're at the Queen Mary. That's right. We're in Long Beach, California, at the world-famous Queen Mary.
Starting point is 00:00:59 Exactly. One of the most haunted destinations in the world. We're here to hopefully catch a glimpse of a spirit or a specter ghoul. A glimpse. A sailor? Anything, really. In order to just finally make you a believer. If only we had somebody with us
Starting point is 00:01:19 that could guide us through this hazard. Wait, oh my God, Rebecca Knight. Hey! Hey, it's Rebecca Knight from the Great Ghost Tour aboard the Queen Mary. Do you have time today? Yeah, why not? Do you know a thing or two about this place?
Starting point is 00:01:30 Ah, just a thing or two. Well, why don't we head in and see what or who we could find? Wow. After you? Ooh. You had Churchill on this thing? Damn. This was his wartime office in World War II.
Starting point is 00:01:48 What? It's shredding. It's beautiful. Hey. Holy, look up that. What? It gives me the CB's here. CBGBs right down there.
Starting point is 00:02:03 Look at this. Just in case. In case of ghouls. Break the glass And the house again So this staircase We kind of believe that this is the genesis The beginning of paranormal activity
Starting point is 00:02:21 Abboard the Queen Mary During the days that she sailed There was a passenger who unfortunately Lost his footing as he made it to the very top step Went up a wave And he went back Unfortunately lost his life Really? This wasn't even that far
Starting point is 00:02:37 Yeah, a guy died right there He hit his neck right over there. Oh, we're going down these stairs. Oh, we're going down these stairs. So stay there for a minute. Sometime later, another woman was making her way up these stairs. Again, the Queen Mary lurches, because we're all the way forward. You can feel it, too.
Starting point is 00:02:53 Yeah, no, I'm right now. She loses her footing, falls to the bottom of the stairs. They find her mostly unconscious. The very last thing that she said was, why did he push me? She died exactly 10 years to the day after the first death. I did. Watch your step. No.
Starting point is 00:03:17 Oh, I almost felt. This is the room. Room B340. This is what has been described as the ship's most haunted room. Paranormal investigators from around the world die for an opportunity just to come and investigate this space. Unfortunately, what most everybody has heard is not entirely true. What's the tea? Once upon a time, a certain house and mouse operated the Queen Mary,
Starting point is 00:03:51 and when they did, they did what they do best, they told stories. One of the stories they told was of the ship's most haunted room. What nobody really realized was that they installed their little effects into the space to amplify that and make it real. Problem is, is when they, when they turned over and a new operator came aboard, they didn't know that any of those things were installed on the room. They were still active.
Starting point is 00:04:18 They were still active. What kind of things? The faucet would run, taps and knocks, different things that made you feel like someone else was in the space. Is this a room you can actively stay in? Starting September, Friday the 13th. Scary day. So where it got scary is that,
Starting point is 00:04:39 when the next operators were in charge overnight guests were randomly being assigned to this room not looking for a haunted overnight stay being woken up in the middle of the night so they would run to the front desk demand a room change front dust got tired of fielding those complaints so they took the room offline and that's when they found the control panel cut the gadgets turn the electronics off put people back in the room once again and still continued to receive complaints so I feel like maybe this became pranksters paradise. While the expectation was set there, if you're a ghost, you're kind of hidden amongst those effects. Well, once they're turned off, maybe it's time to up the ante,
Starting point is 00:05:18 and that's where the stories come from folks getting the sheets pulled off of them in the middle of the night, every single night, because maybe you enjoyed watching people jump out and getting a good fright. So this is a famous room at this point. Very famous. Now, while it was not famous,
Starting point is 00:05:31 and while Disney was not operating it, were there still complaints? Yes. So people didn't know the lore, and Disney hadn't gotten to it yet. Yeah, and people were still saying things like? There's question as to whether there was a death that took place in this room. That record is a little hard to match as if it actually happened in this room
Starting point is 00:05:50 or if that's just where the Disney legend came in, that they, you know, put one of the deaths in this room to account for a haunting. It was the 90s. Oh, so big, it was thriving. Yeah. Lion King. It was their Oscars. Are we able to go in there? We are.
Starting point is 00:06:06 Brittany. Did you bring this? Spirit box? I sure did. What is this? This is my favorite band scene. This is classic Britney Bunder. That's what they call it.
Starting point is 00:06:24 I knew I knew it. Don't worry. I got you. The Great Ghost Project aboard the Queen Mary provides their own spirit box. Oh my God. Oh, here it is. Courtney, if you're watching. This is the real shit.
Starting point is 00:06:43 Also, we have these EMF readers. Damn, you're just sucks, huh? Yeah. That's awesome. I gotcha. You got one? Yo, I got six. No, no, no.
Starting point is 00:06:55 He needs the shitty one, trust me. Because if the shitty one lights up, then you know it's bad. It's Colin. Can I sit in this chair? Yeah. 30 here. I'm still green, Colin. Lamp.
Starting point is 00:07:12 Getting a strong electromagnetic reading from lamp, as well as additional lamp. Do you guys know how those work? Lamps? 2 meters detect EMF, electromagnetic fields. The reason these exist is because pretty much EMF exist in everything in our everyday life. What we hope for, though, when it comes to these guys, is something a bit more solid and direct. Like something that lasts and isn't just pop up for a second. Something that lasts, and it doesn't do that glitchy, flashy, but it's a bit more direct and intention.
Starting point is 00:07:49 And does that rainbow kind of ebb and stays solid bright. I swear to guys. Go back to hell where you belong. But when it does that flashy, glitchy, like an LED Christmas light bulb, it's not a ghost. That's going to be that EMF going through the space, and these are doing their job. Generally, what we look for is when we're in an interaction is being like, hey, could you please touch this number two green light? And then if this reacts after that, that's more compelling of someone kind of, you know, having a conversation with you rather than it just flashing. You have done this before.
Starting point is 00:08:23 Five and a half years here. The gray ghost project, the board of the clean air with Rebecca Knight. We don't have to go that hard on it. We have a K2 meter on this as well. This is an EDI plus. It records a bunch of different data. It's got the K2 on the bottom with the blue. That's a vibration sensor there.
Starting point is 00:08:43 That's the temperature. But what this is looking for is spikes in heat or cold. So red or blue for a hot or cold spike in temperature. On the other side is green for a spike. in humidity and that is yellow for a spike in pressure. Okay. So we've got you covered on that. We have some cat balls, self-explanatory, motion activated.
Starting point is 00:09:02 They're just cat toys. So if someone gave a good stomp on it, it lights up and triggers that motion sensor. Now, do you ever ask Ghost to touch ball? That was not. That was not. It's okay. But is that one of the late night tours.
Starting point is 00:09:17 We're a little adult with our balls. Got she took it, she ran with it. Goal. You think the ghost ever seen a spin cake? About to. Whoa! That was a close one. Okay, let's see. I want to see how
Starting point is 00:09:32 I want that to chill out. And I just want to see how sensitive it is. Because that's cool, you know? Hold on. Okay. Gould. Just for... If your name is,
Starting point is 00:09:49 Harold, do something dope. So we know one thing's for sure. Now try to make them laugh. Harold? What's up? Very hard. Harold, if that is your real name, were you a piece of shit?
Starting point is 00:10:11 Were you a scumbag? You saw that? I saw that. You said, what the fuck? See? Harold, farting and passing gas. Isn't that a hoot? Farting?
Starting point is 00:10:25 Did you do that? Time's going up. The temperature is gradually going up. Not because there's six bodies in here, but because of something else. Obviously, but the pressure meter did just bleak. Did it? It did.
Starting point is 00:10:38 It really did. Hey there, friend. Harold. Oh, that's interesting chair. Original from when the ship was docked here in the 70s. Oh, really? So when was it, obviously it was around in the 40s? She sailed from 1936 to 1967.
Starting point is 00:10:59 Long Beach was the highest bidder and saved her from the scrap yard. She opened to the public here. docked permanently in Long Beach in 1971. COVID was the longest closure she experienced from 2020 until April 2020. Really? Since her conversion of 67 to 71. Wow. Is it mostly a hotel or is it like a debonair?
Starting point is 00:11:20 Like, is it like a great Gatsby gathering place? So she, the, the bid that was secured was so that she would be a stationed, stationary hotel. She's a permanent docked fixture now. She's an event space. She is a nautical time museum, maritime museum. And she is an event center. She's got a convention center, which it's sad to me when you go in it because you walk in and you're suddenly in a concrete box that parts middle of the ship was just gutted to create this concrete convention center room.
Starting point is 00:12:00 Oh, I see. So pieces of the ship are gone, which is just you have to do it. you're going to convert it and make it still functional for what you needed to do today. But there is still sadness about, like, the middle of her just being ripped out. Now, Rebecca, nice, Grey Ghost Project, the board of Queen Mary. Are you a believer? Absolutely. Okay.
Starting point is 00:12:20 I take a skeptical approach just because I kind of want my experiences to be kind of... Objective. I don't want them to have anywhere to where you could dispute something, that you could go, oh, well, it could have been this. It could have been this. I like to get us to the point that potentially the only possible explanation is ghost. We're still dealing with something that we can't see so we can never say, that was a ghost. So I definitely believe, but I like to kind of take that super skeptical, scientific approach to it.
Starting point is 00:12:50 That way it compels the non-believers to see what I do. I believe. He's, I'm all in. He bought this. He bought this. These devices. Yeah. He bought.
Starting point is 00:13:00 I want to, I want that for everyday use. We're really convincing him here today is the goal. I'm down. I think you can make it happen. Let's do it. So we've got a spirit box here, which is essentially a radio scanner. When you hit scan in your car, your car pauses to play the station that has signal. This one keeps going.
Starting point is 00:13:22 So you're just going to hear it as it skips on through. Right. And if something communicates with us... Oh, I see. That sucks. Scary. Sounds like something Anthony's a piece too. Yeah, you know what it?
Starting point is 00:13:40 It's lit. It takes a moment to catch for whatever reason. So it catches something and it stays? No, that's what your car does. This just keeps going. Just keeps going. For whatever reason, FM always takes a minute to catch. I'm trying to get it to a point that you'll hear words.
Starting point is 00:13:59 Sounds like nine snails. I'm going to have to bust out the copper wire to do it. So that was without any breaks of words coming through, but when you hit each station, you're gonna hit it randomly when a song is playing, a DJ is talking, a commercial is on. They're doing a top 40 countdown and saying it's Friday night. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:25 But what you're hoping for is when those words that are said line up to the conversation that you're having. Traditionally, what was originally done with a spirit box, it would just be set out in the middle of space and everybody listens around it, and your brain is all going to interpret this audio version of a roarier. Shack test into whatever you think it is that it's saying.
Starting point is 00:14:43 But if you've asked a question like, what's your name? Everybody's hoping to hear a name. So as it skips through, it goes, it's, and someone will go, it was Dave. They said their name's Dave. So everybody, you don't really know. It's radio scrabble. Pretty much.
Starting point is 00:14:57 It's like Bumblebee from Transformers. Yes, exactly. Exactly. I had no idea. I thought it was audio of spirits boxing. God damn it. So what we're hoping for is when the word. line up to our conversation.
Starting point is 00:15:11 When it's just played out in the middle of space, there's a lot of confirmation bias at play. So the way we eliminate that as much as we can is now one person will be the only one listening to this box. They'll be blindfolded and wear noise-isolating headphones. You'll recognize these because they're drummer's headphones. They're noise isolating, so they're going to give you a clearer sound of what's coming through the radio
Starting point is 00:15:31 rather than adding that additional white noise blocking from noise canceling. So only he will hear this. Only he will hear it once we put the headphones on. on him. And then that leaves us to ask questions and see if we find responses that line up to the questions that we've asked. A great indicator finding conversation. He's going to communicate. I'm going to listen. You'll be the vessel. Yeah. I am the vessel. If you want to take the super skeptical scientific approach, you would want no radio coming through because then if you do have words come through, what the heck is that? What explanation are you left with if it wasn't the radio? When I have people that aren't used to doing this, though, I think it makes you a bit more comfortable
Starting point is 00:16:11 in having at least the radio come through because even if you are just saying radio gibberish and it's not a ghost, it's relaxing you in to potentially hear a ghost. Should I just parrot, whatever I'm here? Correct. Five-year-old child or parrot, repeat everything you hear. You're going to want to do blindfold first. Oh, cool. Yeah, you are. When we ask questions, just things that we find for success here on the ship
Starting point is 00:16:36 is we keep our questions present tense. We don't deal in assuming that they know that they're departed. We've also had experiences where it seems that they are not departed, that they are very much living their life in whatever year it is for them. So we speak in the present tense. Do you work here? Are you going to tell me when to start? Just go in.
Starting point is 00:17:00 Okay. I'm starting. Because it's going to take him a bit just to kind of get into it and hear the gibber. Sient. Perfect. Why? We. And see, that's what I'm mean.
Starting point is 00:17:14 People just peering in. Muchos. Much of people. My name is Colin. This is Bo. They'd love to get to meet you and get to know you. Seems like we lost whatever it caught onto. It's just doing the scanning thing right now.
Starting point is 00:17:27 Yep. There is a point in the radio where you lose all signal and it just kind of dips down. Maybe we're, it's a different, there's changing shifts in here. Could be. Hello there. Around the city. What's your favorite thing? You can see Bo over here.
Starting point is 00:17:45 He's blindfolded in the hat. If you talk to him, hopefully... Allison. He's a very silly guy. He's your favorite thing, Allison. He's Irish and German, Allison? Are you Allison, or is Allison your favorite thing? Is Allison your girl?
Starting point is 00:18:02 It's a very nice thing to say if she's your favorite thing. Are you married? Get out of here. Are you a bachelor? If your answer is ever simply yes, you can use the yellow light to say yes. Or you can let Bo know yes. Okay, here we go. It's coming back. And he'll say yes.
Starting point is 00:18:20 He's doing great. Do you like music? Changes. Changes. Changes. That sounds scary. Custom? Les Paul custom.
Starting point is 00:18:32 No, 100%. That's the best one. Guitar. You know what that is? Or more of a piano. Hundreds? He has hundreds of guitars. ACDC song?
Starting point is 00:18:46 Les Paul. Okay, so I'm going to take it off. Yeah. Back to the scanning thing. Yeah, it will do that where the signal kind of drops out because you're going to find radio stations within our reach and radio stations without. You're going to hear a lot of Spanish music.
Starting point is 00:18:59 There's a lot of Spanish. But you were doing perfect because everything you heard, you were repeating. And no, it's not all he goes. And a lot of it was relevant to what we were talking about. There was a metallic sound. It was interesting because he said, what's your favorite thing? And your response was Allison, which I feel like we just got lucky on radio gibberish.
Starting point is 00:19:17 But if I want to have the empathy that someone said that, That's a very kind thing to say. If you've got a girl, Allison's your favorite thing, of course. You on track? It's pretty crazy. We were talking. We were talking to Los Paul. You said custom, and then ACDC came on.
Starting point is 00:19:30 Oh, interesting. I said, do you like guitars? And you said custom. Wow. And then ACDC, and Metallica, apparently. Yeah, Metallica was playing. But no words. It was literally just a guitar tone.
Starting point is 00:19:41 And you knew, g-c-c-c-c-cann-a. Oh. Yeah. I can turn it down or up. No, no, I'm good. Am I your best friend? No. Six Flags.
Starting point is 00:19:57 Via Passa. Are you enjoying your stay? Seven. Do you work here? August. Where's Allison? Is there anything we can do for anyone who may be here? Mission.
Starting point is 00:20:13 Chaos. I asked where Allison was. Mission House. She worked at a mission. Was Allison ever on the ship? Subject. Seems my friends might be able to hear well this evening. Maybe you can tell them the punchline of our usual joke here.
Starting point is 00:20:36 Quatro. What do you call a cow with no legs? It's bizarre, right? Yeah, that's crazy. It goes so fast. It goes really fast. And there's how much Spanish? Mostly Spanish. It's tough.
Starting point is 00:20:56 Anything to line up? Kind of. There was something about Allison. I asked, where is Allison? And he said, House, Mission. San Fernando Mission Valley. Want to do another spot? Yeah, absolutely.
Starting point is 00:21:11 Let's do it. Let's do it. Hello. You be careful on these stairs. Are you real? Oh, these ones aren't even carpeted. Original stairs. Oh, these are original.
Starting point is 00:21:27 Yeah. Holy hell. So these are almost 100 years old. Okay, so 57 ghosts. 57 recorded deaths from the years that she was in service from 1936 to 1967 57 people died on this ship 57 recorded deaths on this ship how many births how many births a one for sure unfortunately it was premature and it is also one of the 57 after you please please holy Lord go go go
Starting point is 00:22:00 that is the original purser what's a purser like your your entertainment hookup. The person that's gonna tell you what there is to do. This is third class, but they didn't call it third class because she was a bougie babe, so they called it tourist class. Saw that. That's a really nice, that's a nice way to phrase it.
Starting point is 00:22:19 Yes. Now, how sight were the Queen Mary owners when the Titanic sank? God. Well, that was way before. So, we were like, way before. There's a little history there, so. So the Queen Mary was being built by Koonard and because it was the Great Depression,
Starting point is 00:22:41 she almost wasn't built, she was almost split into two ships. She is larger than the Titanic. Every time they built a ship, it was always to make it bigger and better, bigger and better, faster and bigger and better. So Koonard ran out of funds to build her, went to the Bank of England, whoever that, you know, asked for a government loan and White Star Line, who, built the Titanic was asking for the same thing. It was the Great Depression. They said, we've got one loan. If you merge, we'll give it to you both and you can have it as one company.
Starting point is 00:23:16 Coonard had been approached by White Star and kept saying, no, no, no, we don't want you, we don't want you. And their hand kind of got forced. So this was the first Coonard White Star ship, which started a new tradition of naming the ships because White Star always ended with an Iq, Titanic. Coonard always ended with an Ia, Mauritania. So this one, there was this great debate as to what the name of the ship was going to be. And there's a great legend about going to the king and saying they wanted to name her after the greatest queen there ever was. And he went, oh, Mary would be thrilled.
Starting point is 00:23:54 They were not intending his wife, Mary. Queen Mary, Sunday, September 19th, 19th, Bound for Scotland. Earth assignment. That was your lottery. That was your lottery. You were able to get a bunk for the night. You had to win the lottery to have somewhere to rest your head for the evening that wasn't wet under the stars up on the sun deck.
Starting point is 00:24:14 That was peak U-boat time. So your life is in danger. 43? Yeah, you might not make it. She got converted into the gray ghost, thus the gray ghost project. She was the gray ghost during World War II with her gray camouflage paint job and was in the gray. and was enlisted to serve her country in the war. She was a target of Hitler,
Starting point is 00:24:36 and she was the fastest ship at the time, so she was able to avoid everything. So we're good. We're good. We're safe on there. She has avoided so many untimely acts. Congratulations, Mary. You beat Hitler.
Starting point is 00:24:52 She did. She did. Ready? Oh. Oh wow. Original elevator. Ooh. Now that I hate.
Starting point is 00:25:04 No! Oh no. See, that would never happen. Something forced that to happen. An electromagnetic. Okay. May I? Sure.
Starting point is 00:25:24 They hate this. Sorry. He can actually play it. Yeah, she's a little loose. Holy Lord, she is haunted. How old is that piano? I'm not sure. Scary.
Starting point is 00:25:51 It's probably the seance going into the chamber. The what? The fucking what? The seance. Brittany, you can do whatever you want. That's dark side. That's the boiler rooms. Really?
Starting point is 00:26:08 Mm-hmm. So it gives you an idea of how big shit is. Crab? It was a steamship. Oh. I would be boiling crab down there. You know what I'm saying? You don't.
Starting point is 00:26:20 You know. Oh, for sure. Oh, yeah. Come on in. Did you ever you ever walk through this alone? Yeah. Okay. This is horrible. This is Holy Lord. Terrifying and awful. No, no, no. I believe this is all wet paint, so be careful on the black. Okay. Now, has this been wet since the ship was built or? I mean, the ship has been wet since she's been in the water. We got pressure. We'll get you guys in here. Oh, this one's chained up? Mecca. This is another location on pretty much every paranormal investigator's bucket list.
Starting point is 00:27:10 Unfortunately, it was closed from at least 2018 until we came back aboard the ship. We've been able to reopen it at least in a small way. So welcome to the world famous first class swimming school. Wow, yeah. As soon as you mentioned, you just wouldn't see it. That slide? That slide is, I got to hit that motherfucker. I have got to hit that slide.
Starting point is 00:27:37 Thank you. Look at this little teddy. I could make this, Jill. It is 80 degrees in here? Yeah. She'd be light. She's a hot one. Man, it's a hot one.
Starting point is 00:27:46 It just retains heat down here. So we can't go over there? No, unfortunately. Yeah. Yeah, that's fair. So this was the room that people felt like they needed to cry in? This was the room that people felt like they needed to cry in for a few days, which to me I found a little interesting just in that I wondered if a little girl was going through a moment.
Starting point is 00:28:03 going through a moment or having a fight with a friend and if maybe they were kind of feeling those emotions of that. The reason so many like to come and investigate this space is because of the legend of Jackie. It's been said since the 1970s that there was a little girl who drowned in the swimming pool. But this is a ship. They have impeccable records and logs. No such drowning ever occurred. Because if there's 57 people dying.
Starting point is 00:28:25 You know. We know. What's 58? You know? They're going to write it down. Exactly. Yeah, right. So the only record of any injury that
Starting point is 00:28:33 occurred in this room was a woman who bumped her nose and her lip on the bottom of the pool. Probably got a margarita was fine. No little girl drowned in the pool. She did a six. Six feet in the shallow, 12 feet of three. They also, when they first launched her, they had diving boards on her. They were a little overzealous and then they realized gravity. While you're going across the ocean and someone jumps up, they're going to jump up and the pool will no longer be beneath them. So that, no, that doesn't work like that. Because that's insane. That looks awesome.
Starting point is 00:29:05 Can we do this? Yeah, right. Was Titanic real? Like the story? Where's Rhodes? Jack Dawson. He's from Wisconsin. Is that true?
Starting point is 00:29:17 Allegedly. Couldn't swim for shit. Titanic predated this by like 20 years. Who knows? I do. We'll never know. Usually we come in here. We find children, which is why we have got this guy.
Starting point is 00:29:32 We've got a boo body. He's set up to do EVPs. What's an eBP? Electronic voice phenomenon. You set out an audio recorder. You hope to get a response on there. I just don't like it because if you do get an answer, you're now five minutes behind that answer
Starting point is 00:29:45 when you finally play it back. So it just doesn't feel beneficial when your conversation isn't real time. I like that you're very scientific. There's no control. I'm a believer. No. But because he's built for EVPs,
Starting point is 00:29:58 he's got like 30 questions. He just asked them on a shuffle. We don't use him for his EVP function, but we use him. passively for his other functions he has built in. I don't like... He starts with saying hello, you're gonna hate him more in a moment. Hello!
Starting point is 00:30:10 Kill... Kill me! Oh my god. So, if we don't use him for those questions to elicit a verbal response... Shut. He's got a few different cues that let us know if he's sensing someone coming over to play with him.
Starting point is 00:30:26 Permission to kick him into the pool. That's for EDP, so if you were doing an audio recording... We're gonna leave the learning and say, And that's kind of, he becomes his own little investigator. You set down a recorder with him, you set him down, and you leave the room. That way you're like, no human was in the space. So if something is on there, you're like, what the heck was that? We set out the other things to see if we get any responses there.
Starting point is 00:30:48 But that way we can ask questions that can have a yes or no response. So if we find a yes, one of the things hopefully will light up. I got you there. One, two, three, man. I know, he's just going to do his thing. He's just gonna do his thing. I wish he had a mute, but because he set up for EVPs, he just does his thing.
Starting point is 00:31:08 But I just turn him down to his lowest setting so that he's the least amount of obnoxious. There we go. If you're with us tonight, could you make this turn yellow, please? What's the number? Number two, if that could turn yellow, we would be so happy. We would be so indebted to you.
Starting point is 00:31:32 I'll give you so much money. Money is the currency that we use still. Maybe you're already playing hide and seek. Ali, Ali oxen free! Could you turn on one of them balls if you're here? Madam or sir? Are you shy? Maybe it's tea time.
Starting point is 00:32:01 Oh. Yeah, I don't like them. Oh, you know what? German. Oh, well I got a friend for you. Let's man. I'd love to meet him. I'm friend. Hey, friend.
Starting point is 00:32:17 Spreckenze Deutsch. I'm scared. It was a yellow light for, got a friend for you. Really? Say something to be his friend. Hello, uh, the heistu,
Starting point is 00:32:33 we gettis in. Do you haste? How much do you speak German? Are you pretty? Conversationally, yeah. Oh, I got a place we gotta do ASTIS. Let's go. Let's go.
Starting point is 00:32:48 This is too scary for me. Eat that. That is terrifying. I'm getting a reading. I'm getting a live one. I have, nothing's happening to me. Oh. Rebecca.
Starting point is 00:33:14 No. Oh, it's, yeah. Oh shit. It just like, just cut out of nowhere. If that is somebody making it happen, could you step away, please? Yeah, you're probably just hitting something, because nothing's ever like that long and consistent.
Starting point is 00:33:40 Oh yeah, you got the control panels right there. They must have turned something on today. Where? See that? No. Uh-huh. Watch out! Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:33:53 My grandmas are dead. She's so far. What the hell, Rebecca? Oh, this sucks. Oh, my God. Bridge. London, this. Wow.
Starting point is 00:34:07 So was this where, like, equipment was? What, we're talking to? This is enough. boiler room so this is boiler overlook and it really gives you the idea of just how big the ship is where are we in the ship um that is gonna be almost bottom decks if not bottom of the ship are we underwater at this moment no okay um I can take you underwater to where you can see the propeller yeah oh she's fucking with us Jesus Christ this is what she's doing she's good
Starting point is 00:34:46 I'm out of solid 12 here. 12-1. Um, EPP. 12 peepies. You should get a doctor for that. Oh. This is scary. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:03 Oh, listen to me that. Loud as hell. Put the shotgun in there. Listen to just how loud that is. Don't drop it, Steven, for calls. What do we got? Where? What?
Starting point is 00:35:40 Oh, these are the people that die. Is it? The 57 recorded deaths. The names and faces cause of death. Whoa. Cerebral hemorrhage. Found dead in cabin. What's the story?
Starting point is 00:35:53 What's going on with Mr. OS Redfield? That would be someone that they didn't do the autopsy for, and when they brought them back to land, that they felt no need to go back and notify the ship what the official cause of death was. Damn, he was jacked. Yeah, he was raped. Mrs. S. Boothman is who fell on the stair.
Starting point is 00:36:11 Oh, wow, yeah. Ten years later. So she's a hero. Why did he push me? Oh. She's a really good person. And this is Mr. Sitchell up over here. Thompson, Ford, Martin.
Starting point is 00:36:19 Los Sullivan. Cohn, Ferris, William. Healy. Mealy. Fatal fall on a forward stair. Mr. G. S. Wayman. Is it? Is it?
Starting point is 00:36:36 Oh yeah, it is. What's their name? That was 60 years ago into the day. E. Griffin? 70. 64? It's 60 to the day. I got one.
Starting point is 00:36:46 What's his name? It's Mrs. Mrs. Mrs. E. Griffin. Wow. Wow. Is this a speakeasy? What do we got?
Starting point is 00:36:55 It was kind of. This was where it all began for me. This was the first spots that I started investigating in because we had the key to lock that door. And this is where we kind of laid the groundwork of meeting who I consider friends aboard the ship. Oh. Is this a form? Yeah. Was anybody actually this skinny?
Starting point is 00:37:13 Uh, me. Victorian times maybe. True, yeah. If you stood behind that, we wouldn't be able to see the thing. You know, my waist would be invisible. Exactly the same. You know what it feels like? It feels like Bioshock.
Starting point is 00:37:29 It does, yeah. There was a steampunk convention that they had on the ship, and it was freaking great, because everybody was all basically Bioshock, just steampunk on the ship. I can see that. Is this OG luggage? Edison was changed.
Starting point is 00:37:45 facing after Tesla. It was a whole like... Cool. It was cool. Good thing. Did you get there, Ridley? Watch your step. Happy death day to Miss E. Griffith, 60 years ago today. The lucky lady.
Starting point is 00:38:09 I got nothing in here. No, we do. Nothing? I'm getting a hard zero. E. Griffith. Elizabeth? Elizabeth? Elektra? Elena
Starting point is 00:38:24 Elzbeth I'm going with Elbeth Little Timmy Oh Timmy is actually a name we have found That responds on the show Timmy was a pop-in-ass name When this thing is found
Starting point is 00:38:39 He prefers Timothy Sure, okay Respect We've got a Timmy Let me run something by you Yeah I've had a theory That I shared on the show before That this kind of
Starting point is 00:38:49 Is proof of now If you know when you would put your cell phone next to like a speaker. That, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, that nobody's right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But when a text was incoming. Yeah, yeah, anything like that.
Starting point is 00:39:01 I had a thought that what people are seeing as spirits or whatever we know as ghosts. Those, much like the two pieces of technology that don't really work together, are trying to communicate. And that's kind of what's happening. So you're saying it's just text coming through?
Starting point is 00:39:16 It's, yeah, well, it's two things that I don't know what you are, you don't know why, but here's the best I can do. Well, this is. Well, this is also kind of why I don't treat everybody as your ghost because you're dead. That's why I like to keep the present tense when I come in to ask questions. In this space, we had night after night after night, a conversation that we were getting responses each night that this person was a sailor.
Starting point is 00:39:39 They worked here aboard the ship. And then we started discussing, you know, when you dream and you wake up in the morning and you're exhausted because you were working the whole night or you created this world that was absolutely real to you or something was just different about a place that you know, but it was real. And you can go back and revisit that land and you end up back there in different nights, different dreams. So we started conceptualizing, what if a ghost is who you are when you're dreaming? What if that is what happens?
Starting point is 00:40:09 So somebody in here is hitting the Huff and even more puff grand jack. So we had it. Someone here is flying. We had a night that this gentleman night after night was saying, yes, I'm a sailor. conversation with him and he would kind of fade in and out and out and out of a dream and it was in that way like when you drift out of a dream or in a dream when you're drifting in and out of sleep and I thought that I should ask do you think you're dreaming and at this point I would always be in 1940s victory roles 1940s dress red lips I look appropriate to a potential sailor's time and space and if this girl who looks absolutely normal to your world goes do you think you're dreaming yeah I think I woke that poor boy up from a nap. Timmy? Who knows?
Starting point is 00:40:55 But we never had that conversation again. But when we would talk to him, we were like, hey, we just talked to you yesterday. No, we just talked to you last week. No, we've just been talking this whole time. Yeah. Our conversation never ended. So for us, a day moved on, a month moved on. We went through time, but he stayed there as if he was in that conversation with us the whole time.
Starting point is 00:41:17 So do we have these weird time-slippy things? Is that why maybe a ghost isn't just someone who's departed in living in our time? But do we brush up against time somewhere? Especially on a ship that experience so much energy at certain points in time. You want to do Aestis? Let's do it. You still got your blindfold? I got it.
Starting point is 00:41:37 I had a dream I met Shaq the other name. And that's how you met Shaq. He was a nice guy. A little that. It is hot like the big engine. Yeah. Do you want a fan? No, no, no.
Starting point is 00:41:50 Thank you. I want what they felt. headphones to start. Do we know what this space actually was? Is this storage or? This was a cruise space. This was actually, I've been told that this might have been the mess hall. So this would have been where you got your grub.
Starting point is 00:42:05 There might have been some bunks in here, which when I learned that, I was like, so I really might have woken up a sailor from his dreams. Makes sense that he was asleep here. But this was the space for the men responsible for docking the ship, which is why that opening is there, so that they would hurry their butts up that ladder and get out on the deck and get up on the deck. deck and get her docked. That's horrible. Oh, there's coins. Yeah, people treat it like a wishing well. Oh. All right. It's been too hot. It's hot as hell. Are you ready? I'm sorry, friend.
Starting point is 00:42:31 No, it's okay. Oh. I'll play your song before we go. What's their song? Their favorite song. Oh. Is that, uh, the entertainer? No. Um, it's my friend the German. Oh, gotcha. Got one other thing. I think I brought. Hey friend Since my friend's calling him Beau They would love to get to know you If you're willing My friend Bo here speaks German
Starting point is 00:43:03 Sprekenze Deutsch If that's comfortable for you You might be able to speak to him in German And he might understand Fluently Fluently Someone had said they might be his friend Down at the pool
Starting point is 00:43:17 Did you come along with us? Don't? Tent maker But I won't pay it too much mind Uh, what's your favorite thing? The friendship between Bo and Colin. You're too close to me. If anyone's here this evening, can you find that orange box closer down towards us?
Starting point is 00:43:50 Or my box. That's true. You can use my box anytime, Sailor. Have you been gone at Fortnite? There's all kinds of toys back there that you could use. This thing lights up if you wanted to light that up. What do you think about Jackie in the pool? A little quiet, huh?
Starting point is 00:44:25 Have you heard of the Titanic? Tell me? So James Cameron actually made a movie about it. I won a bunch of awards. It was the highest grossing movie of all time until Avatar, which he also made. Can you believe that? Now it's an Avengers movie, but... Barely.
Starting point is 00:44:49 What do you think of Rebecca Knight from the Grey Ghost Project aboard the Queen Mary? Oh shit. You have to take a shit? You? You? I do. That's correct.
Starting point is 00:45:12 Almost always. This is paid? No, not necessarily. People do pay her for this, though. She's very good at it. Is there anything you'd like to do while we're here? Not really getting any words. There's vibes.
Starting point is 00:45:41 It was all, like, all static, like most of the time. I want the mic to catch with this. I'll get in there because maybe you could speak German. Okay. Where? What? Do it again? No, no, I'll get in there.
Starting point is 00:45:56 He'll go in. Not wait if you speak German. I'll dive in. Now, apologies if my German is off. You know, give me a break. Um, hello. Haistu, haissensy, um, Griffith. It sounds so scary.
Starting point is 00:46:15 Can you, Griffith? Are you Griffith here? Yes. I could say, Uh, have you friends? No. Raising. Kinder?
Starting point is 00:46:39 I hope that gasp comes through. German. Oh, Deutsche. Okay, speakin'de Deutsch? Oh, she died in the 60s. I mean, she was living through the lore. Well, it's not just going to be her necessarily. True.
Starting point is 00:46:55 There's lots of options. anyone that could be here. I know. But remember, why would she be here? She probably has a happier memory somewhere else. So true. Bien. See, we want to go to the good places. Good memories. Palibur, France. Yeah, Spain. So, uh, uh, uh, Vihistu. Vi he he he'senzi. Abla Spanish. Sprekenz English. Venezuela. Some Germans went there after the war.
Starting point is 00:47:51 If there's someone here this evening, could you come to the orange box and make the yellow light flash so that we know you're here tonight, please? Let us. Por favor? Amario, por favor? Perhaps you would just enjoy listening to music instead. Colin here would love to know your name
Starting point is 00:48:14 if you're with us this evening. If you're willing to share your name or a nickname, could you tell the gentleman seated there in the headphones what your name is, please? London. London could be a name. Of all time. Could you tell me something about yourself?
Starting point is 00:48:32 Do you tell the temperature in Fahrenheit or Celsius? Without? Mostly static. Yeah. It's different than it was in the room. Yeah, big time. Yeah. She said, what is your name?
Starting point is 00:48:53 And not a split second. You said, London. It's kind of cool. What was the one that you gasped at? Oh, oh, I asked in German if you had, if they had friends. He said, no. No, or was it alone? It was kind of both because of the timing on that.
Starting point is 00:49:14 If it was a response, I said, are you lonely down here? And you said, do you have friends? And the no came at a good time for are you lonely? And then he said, raising. Something changed with the green light. Oh, the green light on the battery died up there. Oh, okay. I'm going to play the song.
Starting point is 00:49:31 Interesting. Are Ouija board standard QWERTY format? Standard what? Quirty keyboard format? You know? No. Oh, okay. Yeah, they're just too low, rose.
Starting point is 00:49:48 I'm feeling a breeze. I'm calling it. I'm feeling a breeze. Let's go into room. Get you to a propeller box. Oh. Prop box. I'm propell you into that, man.
Starting point is 00:50:11 Haunted elevators haunted. Haunted elevators. Haunted elevators. People report getting into the elevator, having the doors open and no one comes in. The doors open as if to let somebody off. They feel somebody brush past them, but nobody is in there with them. Can we?
Starting point is 00:50:27 May we? Come on in? That was perfect. You think so? Come on in. We're just... Next question. Why are these haunted?
Starting point is 00:50:42 What do we got? So people report coming. People report coming into the elevator and as they stand here they see a reflection. That's just coming behind them. But nobody's there when they turned to look. Oh, I see. And then the doors will open on a deck that they didn't ask for and they'll feel as if somebody walks past them when the door is open and exit the elevator. Just like now.
Starting point is 00:51:07 Oh, you didn't select that. No. And nobody's here getting on either, so. Huh. Hope they enjoy their stay. This kind of reminds me of Luigi's mansion a little bit. Oh my goodness. Welcome to the first class ballroom.
Starting point is 00:51:27 Whoa! This is the grandest thing. How restored is this? The carpeting is from at least the 70s or later, so this is not carpeting from when she was in service. They're more about cork flooring to absorb water. Yeah. Spin me.
Starting point is 00:51:47 But I believe the ball, the dance floor there, I believe it should be original. Really? I believe so. On the final voyage, Bob Hope took that stage. No way. Who? Bob Hope.
Starting point is 00:51:59 Throw a spin kick. Yeah. And you guys will appreciate that the theme of this room is music. Oh. Every of these engravings, these sculpture pieces here, all depict music in some way or another. Even that one above the fireplace there has two unicorns and when two unicorns horns rub it makes beautiful music. Is that true? I knew they were real.
Starting point is 00:52:29 Well, is it just hot as fuck on here? The the poor cook in the kitchen, his nickname is lobster because he would turn very bright red. He was the final recorded death upon the ship in that final voyage. He overheated cooking in the kitchen. On the final voyage? There was a death on the very first and the very last voyage. So the hundred and first and the first, or a thousandth and first and first. Jeez, that's horrible. RIP, the homie lobster.
Starting point is 00:52:58 Lobster. No, I hate it. This propels the ship. Oh my God, I hate it. Oh, wow. Oh, my God. That's horrible. Oh, that's horrible.
Starting point is 00:53:19 Dude. Yeah. Oh, Lord. And any structure on these parts? No, there is a whole bunch of fish in our little waterway outside. And we used to have a scuba diver in there. Oh, good, good, good. And give you an idea of your size to propeller.
Starting point is 00:53:38 It's my nightmare. Yeah, this is a lovely room of death. Yep. I don't like that at all. That feels bad. Feels bad, man. That's been the worst thing available. This whole excruion. Because propellers are real.
Starting point is 00:53:56 And it will kill you. I can't shake it, that really, really didn't like that. The propeller? You know the part in the Titanic where the dude falls and ping? Yeah. What's you real? We'll never know. Oh.
Starting point is 00:54:20 Wow. It's on, oh. What? Are they sweat? No. That was weird. There's a pathway there. That was weird.
Starting point is 00:54:38 I don't like that. Wow. All right. Oh, are these the flags? Yeah, signal flags. Cool. So they can spell a message. How can they even see?
Starting point is 00:54:52 I know. So my fiancé, unfortunately, lost his parents when he was five years old. Okay. He came back here who was asked to do a show here aboard the shit, and when he came back to shoot the promotional material for it, He put his hands on the wheel and he looked out and he suddenly had a flashback memory of him being five years old Putting his hands on that wheel going how did they even see out of this shit? Whoa
Starting point is 00:55:17 He didn't remember that it was the last place he saw his parents alive Holy hell He's the leaves brutal So this is a compass Right? Or something? Yes, well it's telling you this is the degrees of the rushes So if you need to go five degrees to starboard five degrees so all three are in operation at once beats me where did she make port um South Hampton and New York that was a test
Starting point is 00:55:56 she was right kill it she got it take you down to the view that's the view horrible no wonder did they hit a fire iceberg wrong ship yeah well yeah But I could have danced all night. Well, that concludes our time here at the Queen Mary on the Grey Ghost tour with Rebecca Knight. Thanks guys. Thank you so much for having us.

Starting point is 00:56:46 So. Did you know that's her favorite song? No? What you mean? Damn. We got to come back. Because I, there's, there's, I think there's some unfinished business in there. Absolutely.
