Speaker 1: Yes, this is just gonna be like a mini series
Speaker 1: where we just drop a bunch of like more like
Speaker 1: paranormal stuff, that sort of thing. Paranormal. What's the other
Speaker 1: word I'm looking for. It's on the tip of my tongue. Supernatural.
Speaker 1: There we go, supernatural and paranormal stuff.
Speaker 2: Ghosts are ghost is normal.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I tried to help you.
Speaker 1: It just did not appreciate it.
Speaker 2: The effort was there, and it's super fun that this
Speaker 2: is dropping on a Friday, Friday, Happy Friday.
Speaker 1: If you're not listening to this on Friday, well there's
Speaker 1: there's like what one in seven chants, which is like
Speaker 1: a fourteen ish percent chance that you're listening to this
Speaker 1: on a Friday, whether it's the friday we release it
Speaker 1: or not.
Speaker 2: So, but also a very high chance that you're just
Speaker 2: listening to it on the weekend. And weekends are also sweet,
Speaker 2: that's true. I love weekends.
Speaker 1: If you're listening to this on a Monday. I'm sorry
Speaker 1: that you're having to go through a Monday. Hopefully this
Speaker 1: makes your Monday a little bit better.
Speaker 2: This will make it a bit better, just a bit,
Speaker 2: A bit by a bit, I mean a lot so
Speaker 2: much I hate mondays.
Speaker 1: This will make it a good Monday. After this, you'd
Speaker 1: be like, man, mondays are fucking awesome.
Speaker 2: I can get through this week. I can do anything.
Speaker 1: Yes, anything you can do, I can do better. Oh.
Speaker 1: I don't know, though, people are starting to pick favorites
Speaker 1: between you and I.
Speaker 2: You know that, I know, but I'm winning because of
Speaker 2: my freaking train wreck of an episode of five.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, the orgasm print. That's that's getting people pretty good.
Speaker 2: And I begged for you to take that out. Like
Speaker 2: I was like, no, we have to take that out.
Speaker 1: And there was no way I was letting that happen.
Speaker 1: It had to stay in. It had to stay How
Speaker 1: could you take that out?
Speaker 2: I feel like I could have been taken out.
Speaker 1: No, it had had to be left in.
Speaker 2: I think, honestly, I think people dislike us both. So
Speaker 2: it's okay, maybe it's all good.
Speaker 1: Okay, So since this is a mini episode though, a
Speaker 1: little bonus episode, let's get right to this. Yes, so
Speaker 1: we're coming off the Alisa Lamb episode and one of
Speaker 1: the theories is the elevator game.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 1: If you haven't listened to the Alsa Lamb episode yet,
Speaker 1: I recommend you go do. It's a good one, a
Speaker 1: very crazy, crazy story that unfortunately happened to someone. It
Speaker 1: is solved, but a lot of people aren't happy with
Speaker 1: the results, and this is what some people speculate could
Speaker 1: have happened.
Speaker 2: It's very interesting.
Speaker 1: Oh it's crazy. So we're getting into the paranormal world
Speaker 1: here with the elevator game or the Elevator to another world,
Speaker 1: Elevator ritual, elevator hell. It's got a lot of different names,
Speaker 1: but they all mean the same thing.
Speaker 2: I want to hear it.
Speaker 1: So it originated in Korea in the twenty tens, and
Speaker 1: the earliest report that I could find actually was in
Speaker 1: November of two thousand and eight. And I just want
Speaker 1: to give a quick shout out to the ghost inmimachine
Speaker 1: dot com because I'm pretty much not plagiarized. I took
Speaker 1: all the information from there. I wrote it in my
Speaker 1: own way, but I took all the information from that website.
Speaker 1: They did their research through and through they know what
Speaker 1: they're talking about. So thank you very much for all
Speaker 1: the info out there to that website. Go check them out.
Speaker 1: Who do the thing?
Speaker 2: Kiwi is trying to get on this podcast?
Speaker 1: See what's up?
Speaker 2: He literally just rubbed his face against the mic. Jesus
Speaker 2: got goal.
Speaker 1: Okay, So Kiwi aside, thank you to the ghost of
Speaker 1: my machine. There is some debate though where it originated,
Speaker 1: whether it was Korea, Japan, or some other East Asian country,
Speaker 1: But what we do know is that it was a
Speaker 1: game that's or is a game that's a direct link
Speaker 1: to another their world, or so they say, so they say.
Speaker 1: But to go to the other world, there's a series
Speaker 1: of very very specific steps you have to take. Okay, Okay,
Speaker 1: you ready for this?
Speaker 2: Yeah? I really am sure. I really want to know
Speaker 2: what they are.
Speaker 1: Let's go Okay, well let's talk out of play. Okay,
Speaker 1: So it goes. I'm going to be like very specific
Speaker 1: here in these steps. So I'm sorry if it's like
Speaker 1: I'm articulating like very robotic here. But step one, you
Speaker 1: need to find yourself a building of at least ten
Speaker 1: stories tall, ten.
Speaker 2: Stories at least at least Okay, so it could be more.
Speaker 1: Yeah, with level one being the ground level. Sorry in
Speaker 1: your throat, yep, I guess so okay. So step two,
Speaker 1: you enter your chosen building and proceed directly to the elevator,
Speaker 1: like directly.
Speaker 2: Don't stop and get a coffee, just straight to the end.
Speaker 2: No Starbucks okay, don't get your latte okay, no.
Speaker 1: No double Tall, extra Frapple appachinos going on later. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Step three you call the elevator using only the up button.
Speaker 1: Do not touch the down button. This must happen on
Speaker 1: the first floor and only the first floor. Okay, okay.
Speaker 1: Step four. When the door is open to the elevator,
Speaker 1: you must be alone. If someone else enters, do not
Speaker 1: proceedh okay.
Speaker 2: So you got to do this at a time of
Speaker 2: day where it's not very busy.
Speaker 1: Yes, the whole thing. If you get interrupted at all,
Speaker 1: it's not going to work.
Speaker 2: Huh.
Speaker 1: Okay was that those step four right? Okay? Sorry, I
Speaker 1: could just check my list instead of asking you. I guess.
Speaker 1: Step five, press the button for the fourth floor. Step six,
Speaker 1: when it reaches the fourth floor, stay on the elevator
Speaker 1: and press the button for the second floor. That's gonna
Speaker 1: be a theme for the next few steps here. Okay,
Speaker 1: Step seven on the second floor, Stay on the elevator,
Speaker 1: press the button for the floor. Step eight on the
Speaker 1: sixth floor, Stay on, press the button for the second floor.
Speaker 1: Step nine on the second floor, stay on, Press the
Speaker 1: button for the tenth floor. Step ten on the tenth floor,
Speaker 1: Stay on the elevator, and press the button for the
Speaker 1: fifth floor. Now step eleven on that fifth floor. This
Speaker 1: is where things get a little bit creepy and eerie.
Speaker 1: A young woman may enter the elevator. Do not look
Speaker 1: at her, and do not speak to her. She isn't
Speaker 1: what she seems. She is not human, right, Like, this
Speaker 1: gets creepy as fuck. Okay, could you imagine just being
Speaker 1: like a bunch of random floors that you're just punching
Speaker 1: in and even if this isn't real, you're trying it.
Speaker 1: And you get to that floor and a woman does
Speaker 1: come in the elevator.
Speaker 2: Some random woman, just a normal woman.
Speaker 1: And I was watching my pants, oh right, one hundred percent.
Speaker 1: I was watching some YouTube videos of people like trying
Speaker 1: this and stuff, and there was some encounters where this
Speaker 1: actually happened, where a woman come on and it was
Speaker 1: like totally just a random woman, right, But I had
Speaker 1: to like question it. I'm like, is it a plant?
Speaker 1: Like I'm sure some of them they just got like
Speaker 1: a friend to just come on.
Speaker 2: Oh okay. I thought it was like, actually just someone
Speaker 2: else if it was a hotel or whatever, someone else
Speaker 2: at the hotel. But no, this like they are actually
Speaker 2: filming some random woman, like this random woman getting on
Speaker 2: because I was thinking, what if it was just like
Speaker 2: you're on the hotel and just some lady is like
Speaker 2: going to get a Starbucks. Yeah, and it just randomly happened.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, and that's that's the thing that can happen
Speaker 1: and that I've seen that happen on YouTube. Oh okay,
Speaker 1: but how many of those times is it actually just
Speaker 1: a random woman. I'm sure some people are just like
Speaker 1: trying to get the views and stuff and like that's true,
Speaker 1: getting their friends to do it sort of thing, like.
Speaker 2: Yeah, any any person that just came on that stage.
Speaker 2: I'm like, okay, I'm out, Yeah, I'm done.
Speaker 1: Okay, So when she enters the elevator, if she does,
Speaker 1: she may or may.
Speaker 2: Not, which is weird.
Speaker 1: I've got a little fury on that a little bit later.
Speaker 1: I'll talk about at the end. Okay, So step twelve,
Speaker 1: Remain on the elevator with the young woman, and press
Speaker 1: the button for the first floor, step thirteen. At this point,
Speaker 1: there are one of two things that's going to happen.
Speaker 1: Either the elevator will descend to the first floor, or
Speaker 1: it will ascend to the tenth floor. If the elevator
Speaker 1: descends to the first floor, exit the elevator as soon
Speaker 1: as the door's open. Do not look back, do not speak.
Speaker 1: Exit the building immediately. You may come back and try
Speaker 1: again another time.
Speaker 2: Okay, so it didn't work.
Speaker 1: Didn't work, or you were declined or something.
Speaker 2: Right, Okay, you weren't worthy, you are not worthy.
Speaker 1: Thor is worthy. Yeah, Thor would make it to the
Speaker 1: tenth floor. If the elevator ascends to the tenth floor,
Speaker 1: the game or ritual was successful. You're on your way
Speaker 1: to another world. If for whatever reason, you have a
Speaker 1: second thought you want to get off, here's what you do.
Speaker 1: You press the button for any other floor in the
Speaker 1: building other than the first or the tenth floor, and
Speaker 1: you must do this before the elevator passes the ninth floor.
Speaker 1: Holy shit, this will cancel the ritual or game.
Speaker 2: All right, well, I would definitely be doing that and
Speaker 2: I probably also wouldn't even be playing this game.
Speaker 1: So if you if you are at this point, you
Speaker 1: might as well go to the tenth floor. I'm just
Speaker 1: gonna say, because there's there's there's a little built in
Speaker 1: thing here where it's it doesn't make a difference.
Speaker 2: Oh boy, Well if that lady was on the elevator though, yeah, okay,
Speaker 2: that's true.
Speaker 1: Rather than spending more time with her, just ditch out
Speaker 1: as soon as you can. Where am I now? I
Speaker 1: gotta look at my list? Okay, So when you reach
Speaker 1: the tenth floor, you may exit the elevator or stay on.
Speaker 1: If you do not exit and want to return home,
Speaker 1: press the button for the first floor and exit the
Speaker 1: elevator and building immediately. So see like, rather than canceling it,
Speaker 1: you might as well just go to the tenth floor,
Speaker 1: see the world real quick, and then exit way.
Speaker 2: Like a little peak. Yeah okay.
Speaker 1: If you do exit on the tenth floor, you are
Speaker 1: now in another world. And if the woman joined you
Speaker 1: on the elevator, she may actually speak to you at
Speaker 1: this point, so it gets a little even creepier. She
Speaker 1: may ask you where you are going. Do not answer,
Speaker 1: Do not speak to her, do not look at her,
Speaker 1: and do not look back to her. Just avoid eye
Speaker 1: contact looking at her at anything. She's not there as
Speaker 1: far as you're concerned.
Speaker 2: Okay, my gosh, Okay, because if this was just like
Speaker 2: another guest or something, they're probably legitimately wanting to know
Speaker 2: where you're going.
Speaker 1: Right, Especially the tenth floor is just like some maintenance
Speaker 1: level or something or something dumb like where's you're going?
Speaker 1: Like you're not supposed to be on this floor, and
Speaker 1: you're just like, I don't know who.
Speaker 2: You are like this, and then she's like how rude
Speaker 2: is right? People answering me?
Speaker 1: Wow? Anyways, So exit the elevator, and you are now,
Speaker 1: as I say, in this other world o creepy. You
Speaker 1: can look around and you can explore, but do not
Speaker 1: lose sight of the elevator. Make sure you know where
Speaker 1: it is because that's that's your ticket home.
Speaker 2: Oh boy. Okay, so to.
Speaker 1: Return home, you must use that same elevator, So don't
Speaker 1: like try and think that maybe you can use another one.
Speaker 1: It has to be the same.
Speaker 2: One, huh. Okay, So don't really venture off too far.
Speaker 1: Yeah. So the main thing you'll notice about this world
Speaker 1: is that you're the only person there. Love that right,
Speaker 1: I mean solitude, who doesn't want that Once in a while.
Speaker 2: I'm like, that would just be freaking amazing, But then
Speaker 2: it would get so old, sol bat.
Speaker 1: I mean, like, honestly, this world's not sounding too bad.
Speaker 1: I might go there, like on my days off of
Speaker 1: work or something, just to chill, you know. But the
Speaker 1: shitty thing is that your electronics won't work there.
Speaker 2: Okay, but which actually might be nice too, a nice break. Yeah.
Speaker 1: But I mean there's no scroll on TikTok, there's no
Speaker 1: scroll on Instagram.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but people said too much time.
Speaker 1: So that's true. Yeah, mindlessly scrolling.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: So many people who have played the game claim that
Speaker 1: they made it to the other world successfully and say
Speaker 1: that the air seems very heavy. It kind of eventually
Speaker 1: begins to feel like they can't really breathe and they
Speaker 1: get disoriented. Wow, which leads to Alisa Lamb how she
Speaker 1: was disoriented in this elevator right.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so huh.
Speaker 1: There are also multi reports of a faint red hue
Speaker 1: cast over the world with a red cross off on
Speaker 1: the horizon in the distance.
Speaker 2: Oh boy, that seems really eerie, right.
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's like a like an X
Speaker 1: cross or like a like a religious cross or kind
Speaker 1: of cross. It just says cross.
Speaker 2: Huh. So the fact that it's like red, I just
Speaker 2: kind of feel like it's almost like hell.
Speaker 1: Hellish, But it's like a faint red hue, so it
Speaker 1: doesn't it's I don't know, doesn't seem hellish to me.
Speaker 1: It doesn't seem nice. I'll tell you that, but I
Speaker 1: don't know. In my mind, it just seems like more
Speaker 1: eerie and unpleasant than like hell. Okay, Anyways. Allegedly, if
Speaker 1: a player does faint in this world, though, they will
Speaker 1: find themselves waking up back in their home, but it
Speaker 1: is not the same home they left. One player apparently
Speaker 1: thought that she made it home before passing out, but
Speaker 1: then realized she woke up in the other world again.
Speaker 2: Oh boy, how did she get back? Then?
Speaker 1: I mean, that's we don't know. So they're they're unfortunately
Speaker 1: like at this point, there's no resources revealing anything on
Speaker 1: what to do if this happens. So likely, if this
Speaker 1: does happen, you're kind of fucked. You're gonna be trapped.
Speaker 2: So, yeah, play at your own risk. Did we say
Speaker 2: that at the beginning?
Speaker 1: No play at your own risk, lady.
Speaker 2: Your own risk? Yeah, after we've given you all the instructions.
Speaker 2: Now we're saying this, but now.
Speaker 1: The instructions to return home. If you do want here
Speaker 1: we go. What you must do is first find that elevator,
Speaker 1: very same one. Make sure you know where it is,
Speaker 1: track it down, enter the elevator, and go to the
Speaker 1: fourth floor. When you reach the fourth floor, repeat the
Speaker 1: same steps and visit the floors you did and steps
Speaker 1: six through twelve. So go back listen to that. If
Speaker 1: you're actually gonna go do this, I'm not gonna repeat
Speaker 1: the steps because I'm getting caught in mouth as it
Speaker 1: is already. So this leaves you pressing the button for
Speaker 1: the first floor at the end, but the elevator will
Speaker 1: ascend to the tenth floor just like it did before. Okay, here,
Speaker 1: you must cancel the ascension just like pressing that number,
Speaker 1: except for floor one or ten before reaching floor nine.
Speaker 1: So you have to cancel that esson.
Speaker 2: Actually, there's so many steps I would end up screwing
Speaker 2: something up for sure.
Speaker 1: Yeah see I've again I've got a theory on this. Okay,
Speaker 1: So you have to cancel the ascension before reaching that floor.
Speaker 1: I mean, if you do it right, the elevator will
Speaker 1: descend to the first floor and the doors will open. Now,
Speaker 1: of course, your reaction is immediately going to be like,
Speaker 1: got to get the fuck out of here. So I'm
Speaker 1: standing next to this creepy ass lady, I just saw
Speaker 1: this crazy ass fucking world. I want to go home.
Speaker 1: I want to get me some nachos.
Speaker 2: Yes, and Margarita's yes.
Speaker 1: Especially Margarita'. Oh, man, don't do it. Do not leave
Speaker 1: the elevator. Stay on the elevator.
Speaker 2: Okay, what floor are you on at this point, sir,
Speaker 2: on the first floor, and you're not allowed to leave.
Speaker 1: Do not leave, and I'm going to tell you why,
Speaker 1: because it may seem like you're in your world, but
Speaker 1: you may not be. Before you leave the elevator, take
Speaker 1: a moment, look closely at the surroundings, make sure that
Speaker 1: everything is right. If there seems to be one little
Speaker 1: thing off, repeat the last five steps as many times necessary,
Speaker 1: and then you can get off the elevator only when
Speaker 1: you were one hundred percent certain you have returned home.
Speaker 2: I always think shit's off those I'm like, how long
Speaker 2: would I be on there trying to figure out if
Speaker 2: I'm in the right Look.
Speaker 1: That bitch's face, Oh, that's definitely off.
Speaker 2: Oh my word.
Speaker 1: So if any if at any point you look at her,
Speaker 1: talk to this woman though, if she does get on
Speaker 1: at the fifth floor, she may not. She may not. Yeah,
Speaker 1: she may decide or sorry, hold on, she may yeah. Okay, sorry,
Speaker 1: There's one more thing I'm gonna say before I get
Speaker 1: to that. During this whole time, she may antagonize you.
Speaker 1: It's said, Oh wow, she may antagonize you. She may
Speaker 1: like get rude or question you or something. Ignore her.
Speaker 1: Whatever you do, do not look at her, do not
Speaker 1: speak to her. If you do talk to her, she
Speaker 1: may decide to keep you. That's all it says, keep
Speaker 1: you for her own yes, So do not talk to
Speaker 1: her if you ever return, ever want to return home.
Speaker 1: And that is the elevator game. The elevator game.
Speaker 2: I don't like any of that.
Speaker 1: I've got some theories about this.
Speaker 2: I would like to hear these theories because.
Speaker 1: I love the supernatural, I love the paranormal. But I'm
Speaker 1: a big time skeptic of things. I love to hear stories,
Speaker 1: and I love to try and debunk. And my theory
Speaker 1: on this is, as much as it sounds amazing and cool,
Speaker 1: I think it is one hundred percent bullshit. And the
Speaker 1: reason why I say that I want to I want
Speaker 1: to believe in it, but I think it's bullshit for
Speaker 1: a few reasons. Here, I'm going to start with the
Speaker 1: woman getting on the elevator. She may or may not
Speaker 1: get on the elevator. Sounds like a contingency plan here, like,
Speaker 1: if you are playing it correctly, she may or may not. Well,
Speaker 1: how do you know if you're playing it correctly? Then
Speaker 1: the only way you know if you're playing it correctly
Speaker 1: is to get to the other world. Yeah, because at
Speaker 1: the final step it says you push the button for
Speaker 1: the first floor. If you did it and you get
Speaker 1: to go, you'll go to the tenth floor instead. Right,
Speaker 1: If we were to go play right now and it's fake,
Speaker 1: we push the button for the first floor, Oh shit,
Speaker 1: it didn't work. The woman didn't get on. It just
Speaker 1: didn't work. We're on the first floor. We have to leave.
Speaker 2: Oh, Like, you wouldn't know if it worked.
Speaker 1: You mean, the only way you know it worked is
Speaker 1: if you end up on the tenth floor instead of
Speaker 1: the first.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: So if you and I go play one hundred times
Speaker 1: and it doesn't work any time, it's just saying, oh, well,
Speaker 1: it just didn't work. There's too many contingency plans built in.
Speaker 1: There's too many fail safes. First of all, there's so
Speaker 1: many steps, so you can just say you can just
Speaker 1: blame it on well, you obviously didn't get the steps right.
Speaker 2: Or what APMs I there's some person at floor ten
Speaker 2: just pushing the button to go down.
Speaker 1: Not too but there's you can't be interrupted. You have
Speaker 1: to do the steps exactly. The woman may or may
Speaker 1: not enter, and you may or may not even if
Speaker 1: you do it correctly, end up in the other world.
Speaker 1: There's too many fail safes in this to suggest that
Speaker 1: it was your fault and not the ritual or game's fault.
Speaker 1: And that makes me say it's false, just based on
Speaker 1: the fact that there's too many ways that it's your
Speaker 1: fault and not the game's fault.
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's be honest. You has time for this shit,
Speaker 2: even that's true.
Speaker 1: Also, the electronics not working in the other other world
Speaker 1: because now you can't take photos or video litter.
Speaker 2: Oh oh yeah, okay, I never even thought about that.
Speaker 2: That being why.
Speaker 1: So as much as I love this story, I called
Speaker 1: one bullshit on it. It's cool to think about, but
Speaker 1: I just can't get behind this one.
Speaker 2: It's cool, Like it's that it makes your imagination go
Speaker 2: a little wild, right, So that's what's really fun about it.
Speaker 1: There are some that I'm going to touch on soon
Speaker 1: that I fully get behind that I'm just like, this
Speaker 1: has to be real. Oh my god, it's fucked up.
Speaker 1: But we're going to say that for another time.
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, I actually just thought about this one too,
Speaker 2: that back from high school. But maybe I won't Okay,
Speaker 2: well I can't. I don't know if I can remember
Speaker 2: the name, but I remember it being like you had
Speaker 2: to like touch the mirror with like.
Speaker 1: Wet hands, touch the mirror.
Speaker 2: Bloody, and then you're supposed to see bloody Mary.
Speaker 1: Oh, Bloody Mary is one where I believe you say
Speaker 1: bloody Mary three.
Speaker 2: Times and I thought you have touched the mirror with
Speaker 2: your hands wet.
Speaker 1: I don't know, I I'm not sure.
Speaker 2: A little interesting. It was a big thing when we
Speaker 2: were in high school.
Speaker 1: It was pre high school for me. It was like
Speaker 1: elementary for me.
Speaker 2: Okay, well maybe too.
Speaker 1: I don't know, but Bloody Mary is definitely going to
Speaker 1: be an episode we touch on. I want to do
Speaker 1: research on that one. Good because that one's been around
Speaker 1: a long time.
Speaker 2: I feel like I almost try. I feel like I
Speaker 2: tried it, did it work? No? And I rallyed did
Speaker 2: something wrong? And plus I probably like didn't want to
Speaker 2: see that shit.
Speaker 1: Probably that's right.
Speaker 2: You have to believe too, maybe.
Speaker 1: Yeah, if you don't believe, she won't show you just
Speaker 1: gotta believe.
Speaker 2: You have to really believe. Hey, but that was sweet,
Speaker 2: That was awesome.
Speaker 1: I look forward to doing more of these.
Speaker 2: Yeah, little fun bonus I like it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and we'll catch you guys on Tuesday as well.
Speaker 1: And Nicole is going to be presenting this one, right
Speaker 1: or am I? No?
Speaker 2: I don't think we've decided yet.
Speaker 1: Maybe we'll just drop and just let them see who
Speaker 1: it's going to be.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no tips onsoever for you.
Speaker 1: All Right, Well that's one way to go into the weekend.
Speaker 2: Okay, thanks for listening, and stay wicked. Peace,
