Portals to Hell (2019–…): Season 1, Episode 1 - The Alaskan Hotel - full transcript

Jack and Katrina travel all the way to Juneau, Alaska, to conduct the first-ever investigation of the Alaskan Hotel. Built for luxury, the historic hotel has developed a reputation for demonic activity due to its notorious criminal past.

Ooh, I just got a cold shiver.

Are you here because
someone did a ceremony here?

**** was that?

Yeah, that sounded
like a **** growl.

Is this place a portal to hell?

Geez.

This is **** nuts.

He believes that
you're demonic...

so this should
really piss you off.

All right.

We have arrived.



We have arrived.

How many flights
did you have to get on?

I had to get on two.
How many hours was it for you?

Three.
I'm at hour 21 right now,

of traveling,
coming from the East Coast.

Oh, fun.

Yeah, yeah, lots of fun.

Yeah.
Where are we?

We're in Juneau, Alaska,
right now,

and it is raining and cold.

It kind of looks like

something out of
a Stephen King movie...

That it does.

...so definitely the right
atmosphere for a haunting.



Yep. Fun fact about Juneau --
can't drive in.

Can only get a boat or a plane.

Right, so if dark **** happens,

we're basically stuck here.

Yeah, we're on, like,
an island of doom.

Right? Well, let's hope not.

Let's load up.

So we're in Juneau, about
to investigate The Alaskan,

an old hotel that is notorious
for its rowdy gold-mining past

and intense paranormal activity.

So, I'm actually really excited.

This is the first time

this has ever been investigated
for television.

Yeah.

The Alaskan was built in 1913,

so it's over 100 years old.

It was this epitome of luxury.

With that, though, came
this kind of seedy underbelly

of prostitution
and money laundering

and drugs and all sorts
of deviant behavior.

A lot of times,
we see that history --

especially that kind of
darker side of history --

coming into play
with paranormal experiences.

There's a lot of things
that people say --

attribute to the hauntings here.

What really fascinates me

is the different types of
activity that they're having,

because we don't always
run across that.

I mean, they've been seeing
a woman in their mirrors.

They're having, apparently,

very violent
poltergeist activity.

Yeah, I've heard people are
getting touched in their sleep

and are waking up seeing ghosts
floating above their beds.

I read this one account

where a woman walked into
the bathroom at The Alaskan,

and when she walked out, it was
a completely different building,

so she went through
like a time warp, almost.

Wow.

Which is really, really rare.

There's definitely
some oogie-boogie going on.

So, this is downtown Juneau.

This is downtown Juneau.

Wow.

Hm, there it is. Is there a mall?

Where? The Alaskan Hotel.

Wow, it looks bigger
in the pictures.

Yeah.

The Alaskan.

All right.
In for a wild week.

Okay.

So, I think our next stops are

speaking with Bettye,
who's the owner,

kind of getting
a good understanding

of the layout of the hotel
and what's been going on there.

We really need more specifics

about the types of things that
people have been experiencing.

Whoa.

Oh, did it already
go off right when we walked in?

Literally right when
we walked in.

The moment we crossed the
threshold into this building,

my Mel meter, which picks up
electromagnetic frequencies,

was just launching.

Every wavelength
that that thing tracks,

it's been going off the scale.

Is it paranormal activity?
I don't know.

Is there
energy disturbances here?

Undeniably.

Hi, how are you?

I'm good.
Welcome to The Alaskan.

How can I help you?

I'm Katrina.
This is Jack.

We're actually here
to meet Bettye.

Okay, I can get her for you,
if you'd like.

Yeah, that'd be great.Sure.

I mean, listen, there's a lot
of wireless instruments in here,

between cellphones,
wireless microphones, cameras,

but you see now -- see, it just
dipped all the way back down.

It just jumped up to
20.Yeah, I saw that, too.

Oh, it was 20 or at 10?That went to 21.

All right.
Jack, you're gonna be in 315.Thank you.

And, Katrina, you are
going to be in 219.

Cool. Thank you. Hi, I'm Bettye.

Hi, how's it going?
Jack Osbourne.

I'm the owner of the hotel.

Hi. Katrina.
Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you. Thanks for having us.

Thanks for letting us invade.

Oh.

- Okay.
- Okay.

First and foremost,
what are some of the things

people have reported on seeing
or hearing or feeling?

The two most notorious
are Alice in 219 and 315.

Can you tell me more
about Alice?

Well, Alice came in maybe
around the '30s, I would think,

and so Alice and her boyfriend
moved in and lived in 219,

and he went away to mine,
and while he was gone --

Now, this place was still
kind of a working woman's place,

and so she decided to take
a little on the side.

Well, he came home unexpectedly
and caught her,

and he shot her dead
in her bed... Wow.

...and then he
hung himself in 219.

I know you're super interested

in what's gonna happen
in your room,

but I want to hear about 315.

I could tell you when we go up.

All right.

- Here we are.
- Okay.

You open it, sir.

Wow.

I keep all the curtains closed.

I got to get over there.

- You want to go to the exit?
- You need to stand over there?

Yes, I'd like to stand
by the exit, please.

- Okay.
- Okay.

It's a very weird vibe in here.

I checked this Navy sailor in,

and he said, "I want
the most haunted room,"

and I thought,
"Oh, great. Trouble."

I just knew that was trouble.

And then when he came in,
about 11:00 at night,

there was screaming,

and he started screaming,
screaming, screaming,

and he was saying, "Help!

Let me out of here!
Stop!"

Then, at some point,
he had cut himself,

and he wrote on the wall,
"Help."

And then just a bunch of blood,
and blood was everywhere.

And he was by himself
in the room?

Yes.
Wow.

I'm not gonna open the window,
but I am gonna show you this.

Then what he did was
he went through this window.

He jumped
through it? Yeah.

He dropped all the way down,
third floor.

How long ago did that happen?

Oh, it wasn't that long ago.

- That's pretty recent.
- Okay, wow.

So this is why you keep
the curtain closed,

because of him? Yeah.

Also, there have been
reports of a poltergeist,

you know,
throwing things around,

and aggressive hauntings.

It definitely sounds like you're
gonna have a fun night in here.

Yeah, yeah, I think so.

Would you mind
showing me to my room?

Yeah, come on. Good luck.

Yeah, thanks.

After this one,
I don't know what to expect.

I like your room even less.

- Oh, that's comforting.
- Oh, gee.

All right, let's get the number

for the Juneau
Police Department.

So this is Alice's room?
Yeah.

I just don't like this room.

So, what have people
experienced in here, though?

You kinda told me a little bit
downstairs, but...

Well, just creepiness.

I don't let anybody
in there, usually.

A lot of people check out,
and they don't always...

You know, they want a refund.

They don't always want
to pay for it.

Right. They'll just leave.

So I lose revenue.

Hey, how's it going?

I was wondering if it was
possible if you could put me

in touch with someone
who works in records?

Well, yeah, no,
it's about The Alaskan Hotel.

You might remember the incident.

My son is
super interested in it.

Joshua is just, like,
fascinated by it. Mm-hmm.

So he told me things
that I didn't know.

So then, your son -- Josh, right?
Yes.

When will he be here?
When can I talk to him?

This afternoon.

I have to look when he bartends.

Okay.

Hi.

- Come on in, guys.
- Joshua? Hey.

We're gonna talk to Josh.

Josh is the bar manager.

He's lived in this building
his entire life

and has had experiences
coming out the wazoo.

With that,
we want to kind of pinpoint

something to kind of go after.

So, now, going through
this hotel's history... JOSHUA: Mm-hmm.

...obviously, some deviant
behavior happening, right?

Oh, like, you have no idea.

Like what?

We've had a few things

we don't really like
to talk about

and a couple of experiences that
were traumatic to me --

like, something, for example,
in room 213.

What happened?

A man was beaten
and left to die,

and a lot of people can't stand
to be in that room

for that very reason.

What's been the thing
that kind of

makes you not want to come
to work on certain days?

Are you sure you're
ready for this, Jack?

I'm absolutely ready.

We used to rent out hot tubs.

The last hot tub
that we ever rented

is now a poltergeist.

What do you mean by that?

Charlie was a guest.

He died in this building.
He died in this basement.

In the hot tub? In the hot tub.

He drowned, but he didn't leave.

His anger, his feelings
of betrayal remain yet with us.

If we ever take anyone
down in there,

we run the risk that something
will happen to them later.

So, have people
seen him -- Charlie?

Oh, yeah.

They've seen him
in the basement,

and they've felt him --

especially pretty girls.

Do you think it's
just Charlie down there,

or is there something else?

Oh, there are other things,

but the other things down there
are not human.

When you say "not human,"
do you mean...?

Oh, there are a couple that
you would label as demonic.

Can we go take a look
in the basement?

Follow me. Oh, really?

I'll show you down
in the basement

if you really want to see it.

Okay.

Okay, Charlie, we're coming in,
ready or not.

Oh, whoa.
You see that?

Much colder in here.

Josh proceeded to talk in Latin

and mention stuff
about demonic entities,

and it's kind of thrown me.

Ooh, I got the chills.

Josh gave us the guided tour
of the basement

and proceeded to talk in Latin

and mention stuff about
demonic entities and...

What are you --
Why do you do that?

Just to scare off the bad ones.
The really, really bad ones.

The demonic ones? Yes.

It's kind of thrown me.

This case is kind of evolving
into something else.

Where I'm standing right now

is where Charlie took
his last breath in 1998.

Charlie
drowned here.Hmm.

I pulled him out of the hot tub

and gave him CPR.

I was the first person
to touch him after he died,

and I know that he's still here.

We've never used this room
in 20 years.

Wow.

The worst things he does
are to girls.

Guys he'll usually leave alone,

but girls,
especially pretty girls,

I've seen them
run away screaming.

He touches girls.
He gropes them.

Like, sexually?
Yes.

What about -- You had mentioned

there's other things down here,
though, besides Charlie.

There are a couple
of demonic spirits.

I've seen one of them,
a long time ago,

and they are more off in
the north end of the building.

What do they look like
when you see them?

Uh, I generally only see
silhouettes,

so I saw a dark image
that looked like it had horns.

Whatever's in the basement,

whether it's Charles,
a demonic entity,

I want to hone in.

What is it,
what's it doing there,

and why is it there?

The being that I saw

was back in the farthest,
darkest corner

of the entire building --
right back in here.

What did it do?
Did it just stay there?

It just stood there
and watched me.

So, why would a demon
be here, though?

I have no idea
why a demon would be

in this particular place.

Has there ever been a history

of any kind of satanic worship
in the hotel,

or any kind of...?

Anyone back in the '70s

doing weird rituals here
or anything

when it was abandoned?

Things have happened.

Priests have come through --
exorcists, even.

To exorcise the building
or a person?

The building. The building?

Yeah.

Have you guys ever had
any incidences

of demonic possession
or anything?

Yes.
Yes.

Ooh, there's something around.

Charlie just doesn't
want us to be here.

- It's Charlie?
- It's Charlie.

- It's Charlie.
- It's Charlie.

It's Charlie.

In this particular area,
where we're standing right now,

the demonic spirits
are the strongest.

- Okay.
- And it's partly because --

When you said "Charlie"

and when you started talking
about demonic spirits, this --

Look, demonic spirits.

Oh, yeah.
It goes off.

And Charlie's right behind you.

Yeah.
Ooh.

He's not happy that we're here.

He's just -- He's just
to the left of you.

Yeah, I'm cold, like,
right here.

Uh-huh.

This is...

There's an atmospheric
disturbance right now.

The REM pod
is massively reacting.

Okay, so, I think --
Do you want to go upstairs?

Yeah. And you can kind of
explain to us

what's been going on
in that area? Yeah.

So, we're gonna go
up to the third floor.

What's so special
about this place,

this building, its history?

Like, what is it that's
just drawing so much in?

We don't --
Well, it's the meridians.

You would call them ley lines.
Mm-hmm.

One of the things that we've
been coming up in our research

is the nexus of ley lines
that run under here,

and could that create kind of
a doorway to the other world,

which a lot of people
believe it can.

This building has a lot
of energy that flows through it.

I had a medium come in here,
and we befriended each other,

and she showed me
an actual video of orbs

floating down this very hall.

- Hmm.
- Whoa.

And she described a spirit

that kept her awake
through the night

that was floating
three feet above her in the bed,

and that was in room 203.

It's an energy vortex,
is what we're looking at.

It's a doorway for things
to come through.

Yes.

To be honest, I've been
doing this a long time,

and I'm thoroughly confused

as to
what's going on here... Okay.

...because
there's so much,

not only historically,
but also spiritually,

you know, and, I guess,

what Jack and I are trying to
get to the bottom of is, why?

Why do you have
so much activity?

A lot of times,
you go to a location,

and they're like,

"Ah, the woman in black
is seen over there,

and the man with the hat
is in that corner,"

and that's kind of, like, it,

but here,
it's every nook and cranny

has some intense activity.

He was throwing out stuff
about demons, talking in Latin,

was kind of
going all over the place

with all these other deaths
that occurred here,

and so Katrina and I discussed.

She's gonna go
talk to him alone,

try and piece together the story
a little more clearly.

So, thank you for coming back.

I wanted to chat because, like,
what do you want from all this?

What I would like to know

is everything to do with where.
Mmm.

So, I'd like to know
where you found what.

That's all.
Okay.

Because that's where
I'm kind of blind.

When I was doing a lot of
work conjuring spirits...

Mm-hmm.
Let me stop.

Did you conjure spirits here?
Yes.

You conjured them here?

Uh, only a couple of times,
but yes.

What does that mean?

When you conjure,
what does that mean to you?

Well, it's external.
It's evocation.

You're taking something
from the middle plateau,

and you're bringing it here.

Interesting.
Okay.

And maybe that's
part of the reason why

there's so much erratic,
kind of, paranormal behavior?

Honestly, yes.

You had mentioned
to Jack downstairs

that there were
satanic rituals here --

in this building?

Well, satanic, I'm not sure,
but definitely diabolical.

People used black magic.

So people used black magic
here in this hotel?

Mm-hmm, and I consider that
to be diabolical.

Like 315.

I know that, at some point,
there was some sort

of dark magic that was
practiced in that room.

So, 315, you know for a fact,
people practiced

black magic in there
and that's also the room

where the guy threw himself
out the window.

Yes. I'm fairly certain
that there was something

diabolical happened there.
- That's a pretty interesting

correlation between
those two events, then.

Hmm.

So it turns out that Joshua

had not given us the full story.

Hello.

- Hello, hello.
- Hey, how'd it go?

I ended up speaking
to a lieutenant

who was actually one of the
first responders on-scene here

when the gentleman threw
himself out the window?

- Mm-hmm.
- And what he described was,

when he got here,

he could hear a full
commotion in the room.

He was banging
on the door, saying,

"Let us in! Let us in!
Who's in there with you?"

It sounded like there
were two people.

So he heard two separate voices?

He just said it sounded
like two different people.

Gotcha.

And then he sent me
an audio file.

I've been actually waiting
'cause I haven't listened to it.

It's from like is body cam?

This was from, yeah, his --

Before the guy, cops
started wearing body cams,

they all just wore
little digital tape recorders

around their necks.
Shall we start it?

Yeah, let's give it a go.

Sounds like
he's saying, "punch"?

Hard to make out, right?

Hmm.

That's intense.

Yeah.

Let's put the paranormal-
investigator lens on.

He kept saying, you know,
he wrote in blood, "Help me."

People heard him screaming,
"Let me out! Let me out!"

Then, when the cops get here,
they were under the impression

that there could've been
more than one person in here.

- Mm-hmm.
- Could there have been

some kind of aggressive
poltergeist-type entity

in here that was actually
responsible for this?

That's very odd.

It is.

How do you feel sleeping
in here tonight?

The only thing that's
weird is, you know,

this Mel Meter keeps
shootin' off the scales.

So I have a device
downstairs in my bedroom

that's gonna work
similar to yours

and then we also have --
We have full-spectrum

cameras that we can
set up in our rooms.

Cool.

So, there's yours, my friend.

Groovy, groovy.

Oh, cool. I've got a perfect
view of the room.

- Nice.
- All right.

Good night. See you
in the morning. Hasta mañana.

All right.
You're on.

Good night, guys.

You know, we'll sleep here...

Good night

...and if anything happens,
hopefully, we can document it.

How'd you sleep last night?

- Um, not great.
- No?

- No.
- Why?

Well, I didn't feel comfortable
turnin' the lights out.

Oh, really? I also slept
with the lights on.

And then, around 4:00 am,
I just kinda pinged awake.

I just didn't feel
comfortable in that room.

So that's weird because I had

kind of a similar experience,

but I woke up exactly
at like 4:03.

- Wow.
- And I couldn't get back to bed

for like half an hour.

I'm laying down.

This thing keeps going off,
like all night.

I guess something consistently
that we are seeing

is that gear
is fluctuating a lot.

Yeah, I think that --
I can't explain this

right now.
- Yeah, and it's interesting,

reviewing the footage
from our rooms

because Jack and I found
some shared experiences,

but, I had really -up
dreams last night.

They were about murder.

I can't prove that it does
have any connection

to what we're doing, but,
it might have something to do

with the things going on here.

Blake, can I get that cable?

We're just gettin' all prepped
for the night investigation.

We're running cables,
cameras just in position.

It's already starting.
I know.

Alice, are you here?

Okay, so, yeah, I just hope
some things pop off.

Ooh waaaaah!

I'm ready to roll my sleeves
up and get started.

All right. Let's --

Let me walk you
through the camera setups.

This is 315.
- So this is your room.

My room, and then here
is the basement.

I have the other flare
down there.

Here is your bedroom.

Okay.

And then, the old bar.

The old bar, perfect.
So we have

pretty good coverage.
- We've got great coverage.

So, where should we start?

Let's start in our bedrooms.

- Okay, good idea.
- Then we'll work our way down.

All right.

Can I come in?

Hey, Alice, I'm here with
two of my friends...

...and I just wanna
talk to you.

Your heart's racing?

- Mm-hmm.
- What does that mean for you?

Is it weird I feel better
when I'm with Katrina?

Hold me.

All right.
Here we are.

Interesting.

This is picking up a signal.

All right.

Back in my room,
where I have been sleepin'.

Ooh! Okay,
feelin' a little anxious.

Gonna be honest.

Okay, so we're gonna try

an audio device
that I have here.

It takes phonetic sounds

and the thought
in the paranormal is that,

when you get a coherent
word or sentence,

then it's an actual spirit
trying to communicate with you,

so, if Alice is here,

or if somebody other
than Alice is here,

we might be able
to get some answers.

Can you tell me
who comes to this room?

What is your name?

-Alice.

Alice.
See? That was crazy.

Alice, are the stories
true about you?

People keep saying
your boyfriend shot you.

Is that true?

Why do you stay in this hotel?

What did that say?

Rape?

Why do you stay in this hotel?

What did that say?

Rape?

That's really weird, actually.

How did you die?!

"Rest."
What did you hear?

You heard rape again?

Yeah. Are you
hearing this?

You heard it, too,
"Alice" and "rape"?

Ohhh.

Alice and her boyfriend
moved in and lived in 219.

Now, this place was still
kind of a workin' woman's place

and so she decided to take
a little on the side.

Everyone kind of blames her
as being a working girl.

Maybe she wasn't.

I mean, I don't know.

It happens quite often.
People get attacked

and people blame that person.

Why do I feel sick
all of a sudden?

"Passing through."
Can you hear that?

Are you passing
through this room

or are you passing through me?

Is there anyone
in the room with us?

If so, please, make some noise.

Knock on a wall, creek
a floorboard, move something.

It's the temperature
fluctuation.

I have no idea what's causing
the temperature fluctuation

at all.

This room, I mean, there's
no draft coming in here.

This, the radiator's not on.

If there's any presence with us,
please make yourself known.

Yeah.

Yeah, it sounded
like a floorboard.

Is someone here with us up here?

Ooh, I just got a cold shiver.

Still gettin' it bad.

Is something here
with us right now?

You just creaked a door
or a floorboard.

Can you do it again?

Are you here because someone
did a ceremony here?

The **** was that?

Yeah, that sounded
like a **** growl.

The **** was that?

Are you demonic?

- Let's stop this for a second.
- This fool shot me.

So you heard "rape"
multiple times?

- Did you hear that, Addison?
- Yeah, I did.

You heard "rape" too?

I'm gonna tell you something
I didn't tell you before

- Yeah?
- because it was extremely

personal in this room,

but, at some point in the night,

I woke up to what felt like

hands crawling up my legs

in a very like intimate manner.

I felt violated.

A lot of people check out.

They'll just leave.

He touches girls.
He gropes them.

- Like sexually?
- Yes.

Absolutely felt violated
and I didn't tell you.

I didn't tell anybody
about that.

There is so many layers
of different type

of activity happening.

You know, you have

to start wondering:
Is it all connected

to this building?

Let us know you're here.

Let us know you're here.

That's the temperature
gauge goin' off.

Are you back in this room?

All right.
We're here.

We hear you.

It's the REM pod.

You brought us back
into the room

and you took us out
and you brought us back in.

Are you playing with us?

Can you help me figure out
where to go next

so I can get evidence?

"Up."

That's where Jack is.
Jack is up.

Okay. I'll go up.

I'll go up!

Ooh, it's heavy back here.

Yeah.

So this floor
definitely has like

a darker energy, it feels like.

It plays with you up here.

Yeah, that's what
it's been doin'

the whole time.
- Yeah.

We'd be down there.

It'd make a noise here.
We'd come here.

It would go there.
We'd go there.

It'd come back here.

So whatever it is
is flowing freely.

Mm-hmm.

Who are we talking to up here?

"Satan."
Did it just say, "Satan"?

- Mm-hmm.
- Did I hear that right?

Yeah.

We feel the story
is actually much darker

than we, really, anticipated.

Jack and I need to get answers
for Bettye and Joshua.

Where do we go
to get those answers?

"Go down"?

- "Down."
- Downstairs.

The basement is definitely
a place where we have

to go back to and investigate,
especially now that Joshua's

giving us this warning
that girls, specifically,

don't have a good time
down there.

The worst things
he does are to girls.

You know, obviously,
I'm the girl,

so, I'm gonna have to go back
and spend a significant amount

of time down there
to see what happens.

- All right.
- All right.

You guys ready to descend?

Yeah, so you guys will
head up, monitor us.

- Yeah. -We'll wait for
you to get up there.

- Yeah. All right. Good luck.
- All right. Good luck, guys.

You okay?

Okay.

Okay, Charlie!

Charlie!
I brought my friend with me.

This is Elaine.

This is the basement.

This is the darkest spot,

where the most negative
activity has occurred,

- Yeah?
- And we know,

exactly 20 years ago,

a man named Charlie died
right in this spot.

- Charlie drowned here.
- Hmm.

I pulled him out of the hot tub

and gave him CPR.

So Josh very much believes
that Charlie is down here

and that he is angry.

There's also demons seen
back here in the boiler area.

There are a couple
of demonic spirits

right back inhere.

And so we're gonna see
if we can get him

to come out and play.

I wanna talk to Charlie.

And we're not leaving until
we get an answer from you.

Like...

You coming closer to Elaine?

Felt like it.

You felt something
come towards you.

Come closer,

even if you're not Charlie.

I don't care
who you are right now.

Yeah.

Charlie, if you're not happy
with us being here, show us.

I'm not convinced
that you are as powerful

as Joshua says you are.

Okay, so I have this prototype.

It was specifically
built for us.

- Okay.
- And, basically,

how it works:
It's gonna measure

for temperature changes
and for movement,

so, if anything comes
within its path,

it will light up
and also give us a sound

so we know that something's
interacting with it.

Just gonna turn it on.

Okay.

So, Elaine, I just saw something

to the right of you, right here.

It was just really thin, white,
just for like a second.

It was almost like
a long string of white

and it sort of went from the top

to the bottom
over your shoulder.

I don't care who you are.

If you're the demon,
if you're Charlie,

if you're Alice,
if you're somebody else,

any of you, I need answers.

Jack needs answers.

This device will be able
to communicate with you.

If you walk next to it,

you can set this off
and I'll be able to help.

If Charlie is down here
with us right now,

can you make that device go off?

Charlie, if this is you

Just went off.

And neither of were moving.

We were perfectly still.

Charlie, is there anyone else
down here with us?

Can you make that...?

Oh, something's
down there with 'em.

There's someone else down here.

Okay. Charlie,

I need you to help us.

Is that Alice?

I need answers about Joshua.

Can you make that light up

if Joshua invited
something negative in here,

either on purpose or by mistake.

Oh.

Okay.

Oo-ooh.

If Joshua invited

something negative in here,

either on purpose or by mistake.

Oh.

Oo-ooh.

No, that room is significant
because that is where

Joshua allegedly saw
this demonic shadow figure.

There are a couple
of demonic spirits.

I've seen one of them,
a long time ago.

Something has come in here
and interacted with us.

I think it was Charlie 'cause,

anytime we ask for Charlie,
we would get a response,

so that tells me it's not --
It's one of two things.

It's either not as negative
as Joshua thinks it is

and it's something else, or,

it's attached to a person.

Would be him.

If he's the one
that interacted with it,

if he's the one that
calls it, that demon,

if he's the one
that comes down here,

burns incense, and speaks Latin,

it would be him.

It's interesting
because I think, initially,

when Jack and I came here,

you know, we heard about Alice
and we fully expected,

"Okay, these are the spirits
we're gonna investigate.

This is who we're
gonna interact with."

- No.
- But Alice's story,

to me, it always
struck me as odd.

A murder-suicide in the 1930s,
there would be some evidence

of that happening,
so, that being said,

I'm not sayin' people haven't
experienced those spirits.

I just think maybe we
don't have the story right.

Has anybody ever come to you,
saying they were woken up

in the middle of the night,
feeling violated?

- Yes.
- What have they said to you?

A woman who was
a guest here described

there was no one in the room.

Hmm.
- This is an invisible presence

and she was being
pressed onto the bed.

Interesting.

I was in Alice's room,
investigating.

We had a camera operator with us

and one of our producers with us

and we were using
a audio device.

We specifically heard
the name Alice

come through three times.

- Wow.
- And then, we kept getting

the word rape come through
multiple times.

- Rape?
- Rape.

Wow.
- Yeah.

It was really rough back
in the frontier here,

in the beginning,
and so I'm sure

that women were treated roughly.

One of our production
assistants had a dream

about Alice and, in that dream,

Alice told her
she was misunderstood.

Misunderstood?!

Ugh! I'm getting
cold chills. Ah!

I think we should talk about

your experiences in your room.

Yeah. So, in 315, I think
I experienced what you described

as that spiritual highway
through the third floor.

You know, any time
that we were communicating,

it would send us in different
places on the floor.

Yeah, there's something
up there, for sure.

It felt like standing
in like a --

in like -- on a busy street.
- Mm-hmm.

I went downstairs
to the basement

with our producer Elaine
'cause we're both females

and you had said
specifically that Charlie

doesn't necessarily like
females down in the basement.

We had a device that tests
for temperature and motion.

Now, Elaine and I, we were
standing perfectly still.

We would ask for Charlie
to come forward

and this device
would light up and beep,

which indicates that something
in that area is moving

and it would only happen
when we asked for Charlie.

- Ah.
- Just from that session, alone,

we can say Charlie is here,
in some form.

Yeah.

With that, Jack was checking
through our footage

- Yeah. -and he found something
that we wanna show you.

Sure, so let me explain
to you this technology.

This is a very new camera
and what it does is

it overlays where there's
movement in a single shot.

It will only pick up on things
that, essentially, trip it off.

Check this out.

See that?
- Ah!

- And then --
- Oh, wow.

Wow, look at --
- And there are two more.

Now, that's --
I've seen that before!

Yes!
- Me too. Yes.

I kind of looked up one time

and I thought,
"What is that?"

And it was that!

The only other time
I've something similar,

where it's like an anomaly
of a shadow show up on a camera,

usually has ties
to demonic hauntings.

We actually think there might be

a couple reasons why
that has been seen.

Yeah.
And you were explaining

some of the things
that have occurred here,

some of the rituals
that took place here

and so I'm just curious about
have you ever participated

in any of the kind of more

- Unwittingly.
- nefarious...?

Unwittingly.
This isn't something

I really like
to talk about, but,

I dated a girl, once,

whose mother
was using black magic

to control her family.

And I knew this.

Very foolishly, I remained

in a relationship with
her for almost a year.

During that time,
her mother somehow managed

to get a hold of a piece of hair

or an object that belonged to me

and the reason I know this

is because her daughter
had a dream.

She woke up and then saw

a demonic figure with my head.

I woke up simultaneously
- Uhh!

You didn't tell me that.
- and I was living

in room 223

Mm.
- at the time.

Yeah. Okay, so there's
our missing piece

of the puzzle, right?

I mean, that's

really helpful information.
- Yeah.

Through the course
of our investigation,

we found out that Joshua's
been involved

in some stuff,
willingly and unwillingly.

He kind of opened himself up
more than he intended to

and maybe that's allowing
some of these things

to come through
and make communication.

But I think, moving forward,
you, in particular,

you have to be really careful.

Typically, my experience,

and, I think,
in your experience, too,

we haven't seen that end
very well for people.

No.

It seems like I've got
my homework

ahead of me for that one.
- You definitely do, yeah.

-I really certainly do.

I mean, you've done more
than I ever expected.

It's been an adventure.
- Absolutely has.

-Wow. I was not expecting

what we got out of this
journey, so, thank you.

This hotel, you know,
has housekeepers.

It's a hotel.

They just need to bring in
a spiritual housekeeper

more often than not.

What's your thoughts
on The Alaskan Hotel?

I kept feeling like we
were chasing something

and we didn't get it
until the very end,

right as we were checking out.
- So true.

Josh is a pretty
unique individual

and, whatever's goin' on here,
you know, it's drawn to him.

You know, is this place
a portal to hell?

I'll say yeah, for sure.
