[00:00:00] Speaker 1: I will tell you, I have witnessed many things that are unexplainable. I'm a believer in this hotel, there's definitely spirits. 22 documented jumpers from the hotel back during the Great Depression. They claim that's where all the stories come from.

[00:00:17] Speaker 2: I've heard voices and had elevators run by themselves. Lights will start to flicker as if the spirits are aware of the fact they're being discussed.

[00:00:26] Speaker 3: They just want you to know that they're here. At some point you start to think, am I crazy? Is this really happening? But it is.

[00:00:33] Speaker 4: The Lord Baltimore in Maryland is routinely listed as one of the most haunted hotels in America.

[00:00:38] Speaker 5: Before being here and what happened to me, I was not a believer. I was a skeptic. Adam Grace was a hotel guest in town for a magic conference. I got off the elevator and I took a left to head to my room and just minding my own business. And something pushed me. And I thought it was a person, because it was a shove and it was hard enough where I fell, almost fell down. Turned around and no one was there. And for the people that are watching this, they're just like, oh he just tripped. It wasn't a trip, man. It was not a trip. I've tripped a million times in my life, I know what a trip's like. It was a push. It was a push.

[00:01:15] Speaker 4: Who's all excited for ghost hunting tonight, yeah? My name is Brian Pierce. I'm the director and founder of the Baltimore Paranormal Society. A lot of what we do are public investigations because we also like to educate the public. We'll set up some of our equipment, we'll go throughout the space strategically and use our equipment to try to communicate with any spirit activity that might be there. Is this still a child we're speaking to? Was your mother, did your mother live here? Oh. Oh. The bell and the cat ball went off. Okay, thank you. We hear about all the time of guests who check into the hotel not expecting it to be haunted, not knowing anything about the hauntings. And some guests will check out in the middle of the night.

[00:01:58] Speaker 6: For the most part, we have a hospitable staff and hospitable spirits.

[00:02:04] Speaker 3: I want you to believe just a feeling. When you come through these doors and you walk these halls, you will know if it's really true or not.
