We headed back to the hotel room to do some research and try to see if we could get a bit more history on this place that maybe our tour guides left out. Sam was our sleuth online but Amanda seemed distracted and uneasy.

"Manda, you alright?" I asked watching her pace back and forth.

"No, somethings off. I don't know why. but whatever is in the basement is definitely demonic and evil. Not even the conjuring house made me feel like this," she said. Damn. I knew this had to be serious.

"Guys, the hotel has new owners! As of a year ago!" Sam said showing us the article. The new owners were a younger couple. The husband, Matthew, was a Realtor who finally changed jobs and decided to buy the hotel. His wife, Sarah, was a young woman who owned a homeopathic store that sold tarot cards, crystals, and such! She even sold not only Wiccan things like occult items but even simple essential oils.

"That's when the suicides started!" Kat said anxiously.

"The wife is Wiccan?!" I asked surprised as I read thru the article.

"Could she have started all this?" Sam asked surprised.

"No. It's a male presence.... Just because she's Wiccan doesn't mean she's conjuring evil spirits..." Amanda said quickly.

"We know that but maybe someone bought something from her store? Does she sell Ouija boards?" I asked.

"It says here she doesn't keep them in her store, she believes they truly can be portals and wants to keep those things away from her and her store!" Sam said, "she did an interview with the local paper."

"Wow, so what in the world is going on here?" I asked.

"Should we do a flashlight questioning?" Kat asked.

"We can try. See if any spirits here know anything!" I said. Amanda nodded.

"It feels like a good idea... but we have to be careful we're not too broad with our questions. We want to be very specific!" She said. I nodded as I got the flashlights set up and ready for questions

"Is the older woman here? If you are here will you please turn on one of our flashlights.," I asked. The red one by Amanda began flickering and then turned on.

"Thank you," Sam smiled.

"She's here," Amanda smiled, "right beside Kat!" This made kat tense.

"She's very gentle. She doesn't want you to be afraid. She only wants to talk," Amanda smiled.

"Are you aware of the danger in the basement?" I asked. The light went back off.

"Is it evil?" Kat asked. Both flashlights went on.

"She's scared, she's worried it may be released," Amanda said confused.

"Released? Is something using it or controlling it?" Sam asked. The flashlights went off and our lights began to flicker. The hotel room lights!

"Oh fuck! Shit!" I said in shock at the activity.

"Easy Colby," Amanda said, "she's just scared... she can't talk about it anymore..." the lights stopped and kat was having a tiny panic moment with Sam.

"She's gone. She's definitely scared of whatever it is!" She said. I got our lights back on and turned the flashlights off.

"Something has even the spirits here scared and worried. Something is wrong here. Somethings very wrong!" I said.

It was like something out of a weird Supernatural TV Show episode! Or even an episode of Charmed. Yes yes, I know that show. Jen loved it! The original not the remake! She truly thought the new one insulted the original and didn't line up with the original story. I caught Amanda's eye and it was clear she agreed with my outburst.

"Clearly something isn't right here but why invite something like this in? Why open these kinds of doors?" She asked confused.

"Unless whoever is doing this isn't aware anything is happening?" Kat asked.

"They'd have to, wouldn't they? Especially if that woman thinks it's being controlled by someone!" Sam said.

"Or it's just some idiots playing with a ouija board and thinking it's just a game or a stupid piece of wood?" I asked.

"But how can someone control it if they don't think this sort of thing is real?" Sam asked.

"Guys, stop! No need to bicker. Even if someone is just playing games and not taking it seriously these demons can attach themselves to people and places! It could be as simple as they do this crap downstairs and it's bound there. But either way, someone or something brought it here," she said, "by accident or on purpose,

Either way, it's dangerous! We need to talk to the owners and get more info on these suicides!"

"I agree we can't be playing games with these sorts of things without knowing exactly what we're going up against! If it's truly demonic we need may need to get a priest here, so an actual exorcism or eviction!" I said.

"If we can even find someone who did that!" Kay said, "all I know is I don't know wanna be here anymore. It's freaking me out and I wanna go home!"

"Alright babe I'm sorry we can do this alone, but we can't just ignore this we have to at least research investigate, and try to help!" Sam said, rubbing her back. She really was scared and overwhelmed.

"I have no problems helping you find a local priest and such but I'm gonna have to agree with Kat. I don't want to stay another minute here," Amanda said,

"Okay, let's get you two girls home then, and we can continue on without you!" I said.

"Just promise me you'll stay out of that basement!" Amanda begged.

"Promise! No more basement stuff without a priest!" Sam said.

"Even with a priest! Let him do his job!! you guys stay out of there!!" she said glaring at us both.

"Okay okay, we promise!" I said putting my hands up. It was clear she meant business and I was sure I didn't want to cross her. We helped the girls pack their things before walking them out to catch a cab back to the airport to both head home. We had a lot to figure out and I knew I was so excited about it! Something big was gonna happen. I could feel it!
