(Phil gasps)
There is 100% a ghost here.

Thanks, bros.
And you might be like, Phil, where are you?
What the hell is happening?
Well, (laughs) I'm kind of wondering that myself.
As I'm gonna be trying
to spend the night in a haunted hotel.
(thunder)
So I'm here
and scared because of Doctor Sleep,
which is a new film coming out on October 31st
and it is a sequel to The Shining,
which is probably the most famous book
or movie about a haunted hotel
and all of the spirits that live in it.
So to celebrate the spooky season,
I've decided to stay in this old,
notoriously haunted hotel in London
and I've armed myself with some ghost-hunting equipment.
I don't know what it is, it's a thing.
And hopefully were going to see some ghosties.
Or not, I don't know.
Do I want to see one?
I kinda want to see one for the video,
but then I also don't want to be possessed and...
(crickets chirping) pee myself.
It's only 8:00 p.m.
and I'm already getting the heebs and jeebs.
I went to see the film the other day
and let's just say it's pretty tense.
I was gripping my popcorn instead of eating it,
which is probably a first for me.
Also it has its fair share of big scares.
And do you remember in The Shining
there's a little kid, Danny Torrence,
who gets big zoomies on his tricycle
and sees the girls that are like, "Come play with us,"
and the scary one in the bath,
Doctor Sleep is about Danny when he's grown up
to be a kind of troubled adult.
I mean you would be if your dad chased you
through a frozen maze with an ax.
But (laughs) he's also grown up to be Ewan McGregor,
which is pretty lucky.
He has something called the shine,
which is a supernatural gift of some kind,
and I think you mainly see it with him
because he sees the ghosts
and he also has some telepathic abilities as well.
In the film- (loud thud)
I just heard a noise.
Okay, it's begun.
I haven't even started yet.
In the film he goes back to the evil Overlook Hotel
where it all began and let's just say
some spooky stuff goes down...
And that's putting it lightly.
- [Grady Twins] Hello, Danny.
- Why did I decide to do this video after I saw the movie?
I should have done it before,
I'd be far less scared.
Here's what happened earlier when I arrived.
At least it's not room 237.
Okay, I just got in the room
and (laughs) it's not doing itself any favors
because it totally looks haunted.
Full size view of the bed, I mean it's really lovely.
It's just screaming ghostly activity to me.
I'm also in a basement room so I feel like
if there's any dead people,
they'd have been buried beneath my feet.
This little fire burner's cute,
hopefully it won't switch on
in the middle of the night,
and set me on fire
or this fan could blow cold air on me to death.
(laughs) I was like,
what dangerous thing could that do?
Ah yes, my important bucket of metal rods.
Why buy a tissue box or a book when you can combine them?
Hoot hoot (beep).
Terrifying old chair, check.
I'm really confused because there's no bathroom in here.
Wait. Oh.
(laughs) I thought this was a wall.
What's in here?
Oh, that's nice, cursed toilet.
I mean, that looks pretty new,
I don't think the toilet is cursed.
And that is a snazzy shower.
I'm gonna have some good times in here.
That sounded wrong, but you know what I mean.
Rainfall, rain on me ghost daddy.
See, I was all for complimenting the shower
but then this curtain
is not, (laughs) it's not helping my vibes.
I sounded like an old grandmother.
Maybe she already possessed me.
Children, eat my toffee.
That's what my grandma used to say,
"Would you like a toffee,"
every food with a toffee.
The light is also pretty cr-...
Oh my God. (laughs)
That was a fully jump scared.
(ominous tones)
By that, what is that?
It's a bird.
Okay, so that's going to be watching me sleep.
There's the bird, there's the bed.
I feel like I'm in an actual castle.
I'm a bit scared that I'm going to wake up
in the night and there's going to be
a ghost sat in that chair.
Can we tuck it in please?
Goodbye.
Face away, no that's even creepier if it's facing away.
So I dimmed the lights and I thought we could
read about why the hotel is haunted.
So in 1989 the manager of the hotel
was showing a visitor around the hotel,
and there was a group of children laughing
and running around upstairs.
So the visitor went down to reception and was like,
"Um excuse me can you tell those children to be quiet?"
And so the..
(laughs) That voice.
And the receptionist said,
"There are no children checked into the hotel today, sir."
(thunder)
- [Grady Twins] Come and play with us.
- In 1991 someone reported that an old man
had sat on the edge of their bed
in the middle of the night.
No, no.
I don't want an old man on the edge of my bed.
Maybe he could keep me company.
Gerald, come sit with me.
No, I take it back.
(laughs) I take it back.
So apparently the ghosts arrive around midnight,
so I'm going to get cozy,
make myself a coffee,
and then we'll see what we can find.
Okay I don't know if you can hear it
but I was just making a drink and this rumble has started,
in the room...
(soft rumbling)
like a really deep rumble around that corner.
But then it keeps stopping.
(soft rumbling)
It doesn't sound mechanical,
it's just like a really deep vibration...
(louder rumbling)
That's slightly freaking me out.
(laughs) No I'm being serious.
Ghosty, are you there?
Rumble if you're there.
Course it'd stop now.
Maybe they just had something that was vibrating
quite intensely and they dropped it on the floor.
Do we want to know?
Caw! This video is sponsored by Warner Brothers.
(Thunder)
So before I get any or my ghost gadgets out,
I though I could just ask the room
if there's a ghost here.
Just like straight up don't need any technology,
just gonna have a chat.
So-
(thump)
Oh my god. (laughs)
You must have heard that.
I think it was just someone in another room but,
it was definitely a bang.
Make a noise if you're gonna haunt me tonight.
There's lots of creakiness happening. (laughs)
I don't like it.
I'm not fond of the creakiness in this scenario.
The first thing on my ghosty shopping list
was a UV light.
Which is very questionable of a thing to
bring to a hotel room, let's be honest.
But apparently if you switch off the lights,
you might see a ghosty.
Oh my God, look at my teeth.
That's more horrifying than anything that's
going to be in this video.
Oh, nice to meet you.
I'm losing subscribers by the second.
This is quite atmospheric.
Okay, I'm going to admit something now,
I've got a slight, and when I say slight
I mean a medium fear of looking up chimneys.
Especially in the dark
and especially in a haunted hotel.
So, I'm going to have a look up the chimney
but I don't want to do it.
I don't want to do it. (Gasps)
Oh it goes all the way up.
Ugh, oh.
Oh, oh, I don't like it. (laughs)
I don't know why.
I feel like some kind of demon is going to crawl down it
and grab my face and drag me into the sky.
I mean is that Santa?
Am I thinking about Santa?
I don't know but,
no, I would rather
haing, haing,
I would rather there wasn't a chimney in this room.
As much as I love these lamps they kind of
look like they're made of human skin.
Which is giving me vibes.
Every time I turn my back to that chair I'm like,
(gasp)
My jump is making a weird shape.
Go away stop, stop.
Hoot.
Okay, you're 50 times more sinister
in the dark, Mr. Owl.
You can turn around and not face the bed.
I look like a floating head.
It's been about 10 minutes
with the lights fully off
and I am getting a bit nervous now.
There's a lot of creaks and bangs.
And general noises that I know are just other
people but every time I hear one I'm like (gasp).
Deer in the headlights.
So, I'm going to switch the lights on
and use another gadget.
So, I also got a retro tape recorder
which I'm pretty excited by.
And some tapes, if you're a youngling,
you might not even know this is where music came from.
Lets put the tape in.
And I thought I could record the ambience
of the room and see if there's any ghosts
that are like "what up." or whatever.
(feedback)
Oh geez, you press play and record.
What is your name?
Let's stop that, and we can listen back
and see if there's any ghosties on the tape.
What is your name?
(static)
I heard something then, was that just me breathing?
Wait let me play that again.
What is your name?
(static)
That's definitely a sound.
I don't know if its a ghost sound, but it's a sound.
What is your name?
(static)
So what I could do is get the sound file off this
and see if we could like slow it down
or make it more clear.
Hacker action.
I enhanced it and you can kinda hear something.
It doesn't really (laughs)
It doesn't really sound like anything.
But, I've listened to it about 1000 times
and I might be going crazy or I think it
sounds a bit like "Henry" or "Help me"
or "Horny" or (laughs)
or "Help the bees" I don't know.
Listen.
(static with slight strange sound)
It's like (breathes heavily).
I don't remember breathing like that.
so I slowed it down and we've got...
(static with slight strange sound).
That's definitely like a rwaaaa rwaaaa ha waa.
And then I reversed it,
(static reversed strange sound).
Now that to me sounds like brown dog.
(static)
(speaking slowly) Brown dog.
My hypothesis is (laughs) Gerald
had a brown dog that was called Henry.
Or, I just breathed when I was recording.
It's made my heart go a little bit,
cause its kinda weird and I'm on my own and
I've been told this room is haunted so I'm on edge.
That tapping has started again.
Can you just stop whatever you're doing in there.
What's happening, you're covered by the curtain.
The next thing I got was this
electromagnetic frequency reader.
Which I'm very excited by
and I might just use in all of my everyday life.
It basically scans to see
where electromagnetic frequencies are higher
which I think ghosts produce,
according to the internet.
So it has light green, dark green,
yellow, orange and red.
And I think if it goes into the orange or red
then we're in ghost territory.
Do I release any?
No.
Quite interesting though cause look my laptop,
orange, ooooh.
Let's get the creepy cauldron out of the way first.
Any ghosts?
We're safe.
Any ghosts in this fire?
No, only the flames of hell.
Scary corner?
Ghosties?
No.
The lamp?
No, the lamp is fine.
Hoot hoot, this video is sponsored
by Warner Brothers.
Any ghosts on the bed?
(gasp)
On this side of the bed it's going red.
That's crazy.
What? What is over here, is it a lamp?
No it's not, the lamp is..oh it's got a bit.
No.
(gasp) There is 100% a ghost here.
Gerald, touch my hand.
Give me a sign.
Well, that's horrifying.
I'm going to be sleeping on this side of the bed,
I'm making a pillow fort between me and Gerald.
Toilet ghost?
I nearly dropped it in the toilet.
Oh my God.
That would have been (laughs) a disaster.
Is there ghosts in the shower?
That's weird.
Is there currently a naked ghost here
and we just can't see it?
It's gone back to green again now.
Obviously it didn't like that compliment.
(gasp)
Oooh, ah ah, what?
No. There's 100% a naked, showering ghost.
I want to take a shower later
so that's going to be...
Oh, it's in the sink as well.
Oh great, okay I just hate this room.
So in the Dr. Sleep movie Danny Torrence
communicates with a teenage girl called Abra,
who also has the shine.
He communicates with her through telepathy
using a chalkboard.
So, I thought I'd try a bit of automatic writing,
is that what its called?
Psychic writing.
Something writing.
Where basically you clear your mind and just
let your hand take you wherever you go
and then the ghost (laughs) will give you a message.
I hate the sensation of chalk on chalkboard,
so this is a big sacrifice for you guys.
Right, Gerald, come into my brain
and possess my hand.
I'm not even gonna think about what's happening.
Redruuum.
That looks a bit like a face.
It's like a screaming face.
Can you see that?
And then that one could be a musical note,
so maybe Gerald had a funky haircut
and then was an opera singer.
That looks like a lamp actually, can you see that?
Maybe the ghost is in the lamp.
My thing, the thing, where's my phone?
It's stopping now. That was so weird.
It was just flashing red. Oh it's back, its back.
No.
Is there a ghost?
If you're a ghost, flash red.
Why would like such a boost of electromagnetism
just come into the room?
That's the most ghosty thing.
There is literal tapping coming from behind
the shower curtain.
(tapping sound)
And I haven't used the shower yet.
(tapping sound)
(metal scraping sound)
(louder tapping)
What is that?
Why are you making a noise?
If you're the ghost keep tapping.
(tapping sound)
That's really weird, it sounds like it's
coming from this light.
(tapping sound)
Goodbye, tappy mctapison.
The last thing in my bag of tricks is this
motion sensor light, which was actually sold
as a ghost motion sensor.
So don't think its a typical one.
I'm going to put this at the other side of the room,
and (laughs) I feel like this is a terrible idea.
and if something moves in the room, like a ghost,
this is gonna light up.
I just realized for the entirety of filming
this video that my pajamas have been inside out.
So give yourself a pat on the back if you noticed.
Haven't even gone to bed yet
and this is already quite a scary experience.
I mean when this went red, I freaked out.
I don't think we should ignore
all the evidence we got.
I mean this went crazy for no reason,
we have the weird noise on the recorder,
we have the tappy taps that came from nowhere, the noise.
So basically I proved ghosts real
and we should (laughs) stop debating it.
But now the hardest thing, I've got to go to bed.
I might watch something calming on my laptop
so I (laughs) I don't just fully freak out.
I'm gonna have a haunted shower and then
get into bed. I'm robing it up.
You've got to do it if you come to a hotel.
You've got to put the robe on.
I had a slight experience in the shower,
which (laughs) I thought was paranormal,
but I actually just pressed my butt against
the cold tap and fully sprayed myself
with cold water.
It was (laughs) horrifying but also terrifying
because I thought the ghost that I'd seen
from the electromagnetic thing had arrived.
I've got a divinely chocolate cookie,
Something just moved on the ceiling.
It was just a shadow, like a shadow moved.
Is it my? No. What was that?
Okay. There's something on the ceiling.
Gerald is it? I wanna enjoy this cookie
so can you just wait two minutes.
This light was on earlier and now its just
not working. Unless the bulb just went.
But that is a coincidence
to say we had the lamp that the ghost drew.
Am I seeing a pattern in everything?
Or is it haunted?
I'm obviously in bed, I've built my pillow fort
so Gerald can't get me.
This is a bit of a precarious situation
for my bed drink but there's no bedside table
on this side and I don't want to sleep
on that side cause that's where the ghost is.
So I'm just hoping I don't flail around
in my sleep otherwise the ghost
in the chair is going to get a wet crotch.
I fully was about to go to sleep
with my contact lenses on.
So, that was a close call.
That would be the true horror,
Phil goes to hospital
because his eyes have fused together.
Oooh, I'm a ghost.

(Suspenseful music)
Okay, I'm actually peeing in my pajamas because
the ghost lamp just freakin' lamped it up.
I did roll over quite violently in bed. (laughs)
I was having a dream about ghosts,
oh, that's another story.
But my heart is beating so fast.
Oh, okay it's gone.
It's kinda worse now its gone.
It's too dark.
It might've been just me rolling over,
but if I try and roll over now.
Oh, okay, (laughs) so it was me jiggling around.
(laughs) That must have been a pretty epic roll over in bed.
I will try not to do that again.
Uh, it's gone.
I got up to pee and it sounds like I'm peeing now,
(laughs) it's not me.
It's the tap is dripping
and I swear I fully screwed that in.
Okay, why don't I just switch the lights on
before I start talking to you.
Oooh that is some interesting bed hair.
You all right, Buzzer, did I wake you up?
I can't sleep.
I think its just the adrenaline
of waking up to that light earlier.
So I'm gonna count some sheep.
Maybe Danny Torrence could come in
and help me drift off.
Not in a dying way just in a sleep way.
(thunder)
(ominous tone)
Morning has broken.
I've survived.
(children cheering)
I didn't get eaten by a ghost.
I actually slept for about probably five hours.
I didn't hear any children running around or screaming.
Which was one of the things.
But I did sense Gerald (child laughing)
might have been in the room.
I think I was so tired that even if he was dancing
around on my bed I wouldn't have noticed.
So Gerald there you go.
You win.
We didn't get conclusive proof
but I did feel a bit of a spook.
Give me a thumbs up if you enjoyed this video.
I hope you have a happy Halloween
and I will see you very soon.
Goo-oo-oodbye.
Make sure you check out Doctor Sleep if you want a spook
