Hannah Ruble haha the second video he did in this place it happened kind of. a car pulled up and he could hear someone freaking out about seeing his torch then his shadow lol

what video is that?

@@GhostingVibes Ghost Vibes What video is it?

@@krashsite2125 The title is Scary as Hell Alone in Haunted Hotel 3am WV Dan went back, like a crazy person that he is, and made a 23 minute doc about the place.. theres even more in that one than this.

LoL

I think if he did that and actuallly caught shit stalking him he would never go again lol. Good idea though

Yeah, but would you really want to see it? ;)

kahopukehau If *I* ever did that, and caught something behind me... the next video would be of me being admitted to an asylum. And preferably not one of the abandoned ones!

Mike Smith Yes would love to see....bcs I'm safely at home lol

That’s a smart idea!

it was an African American gentleman that wanted his hotel to overlook the scene of the raid in honor of John Brown stand on slavery ….at least 150 years before his time....john was a brave guy to do that back then

@@Nostalgicguy2242 are you really that fucking stupid or are you just your mothers child?

@@tdk7388ify no

i had a picnic there on those rocks on july 4th 1989. she was a waitness at some diner up the road famed for its honey dipped fried chicken. one of my kinder memories of hf wva

Nothing is going to happen. Remote places like this, though they seem scary, are seldom occupied by homeless people. Having been one, people forget that the homeless depend on being connected to supply chains, and in remote areas like this, one would starve if you tried to live out on your own. Unless you were a survivalist type and in that case you wouldn’t need to live in an asbestos infested old building like this.

no squaters are ever in this hotel. it closed in 2008 and we havent seen one since. if there was I'd run them out

***** no it closed in 2008. My cousin worked there until it closed. Look it up

+Xplosion51 and the front end collapse was in 2010

+Xplosion51 I also worked here this year and last as a tour guide bringing people through the hotel up until recently when more of the front started collapsing during a tour and I was told not to do tours anymore. I live 10 minutes from the hotel

+Xplosion51 Master of Decay never said he was a tour guide, before it closed or had damages but after. BTW he is an explorer himself, he would never fib on Dan Bells channel

I stayed there years ago and was just looking at it recently (not inside of course).

Damn shame. Thank you for sharing your story. I really hate when old, formerly magnificent places like this with generations of stories fade into the history.

Damn Hannah

Damn Rigo

Hah! I didn't hear anything, other than Dan saying *_he_* hears something. And I assume the shadow on the wall is Dan's, as lit from behind him by ambient daylight... ?

If you listen closely during that moment, you can hear a loud distant thump and then what sounds to be a door or something moaning deeply. After that nothing.

i heard it....crazy as it sounds...I did hear it...

Oh wow caught that

So are you saying Dan did that himself for make it creepier or to see if we'd notice? Cause who would stalk him all the way through the video just to freak him out by changing the position of a fire extinguisher? Seems pointless.

Is this what we were supposed to be freaked out over? The entire video was creepy to me. I don't see how he did this alone.

I wonder if while he was walking around he accidentally ran into it, knocking it over and probably cursing so that’s where the little edit jump comes in? Idk either way it’s spooky

Weezie didn't you hear him say 10 min mark? and at that time about he said it sounded like someone was above him i thought i heard thuds followed by a child at 12:25 i hear a woman sob/moan

THANK YOU FOR THE JUMP SCARE WARNING. I seriously would have pissed myself if I didn't know it was there

heard it too

Thank you so much for the jump scare warning.

+Fire Twerks Well, judging from the various bits and pieces of ceiling littering the floor I would guess another bit just fell down

I heard it sound like a lil girl

+Dizu Dizme he responds to male viewers hmm... What are you implying?

***** I don't need your life story. Just asking about why you said he responds to male viewers. What's wrong with that? Do you think he ONLY responds to male viewers and not female for some dumb sexist reason?

***** There's a war on women? Thats scary, I had no idea. Actually I thought the complete opposite. Crazy right?

Yeah, you can't treat them like shit anymore, oh the privation you suffer.

Nikkole S m8, ghosts are scientifically impossible. if you brought more people then you are more likely to damage the building or fall through the bad floor...

it is. they tried to sell and do a makeover a few times but failed.

I was thinking the same while watching that porch with big glass windows, white wood and with all that green from outside, it must have been very peaceful also...

Yes Cocco Candies i agree with you. Such a shame the place went to ruin like that

+Anna Ferrara I thought the same

+Clare Bear Me too! It was absolutely gorgeous, and could have easily been reupholstered.

+Anna Ferrara I thought you said "curved black hair" haha

+Anna Ferrara You are so sweet when you are concerned :)

+Anna Ferrara He usually does, but his mates aren't always available for out-of-state trips.

nice catch on the fire extinguisher!

Your profile name and picture gives me life

+paramoist Bland typeface can be scary, but while listening with headphones to the 5:48 spot of the video you seem to have pointed out something I overlooked. Tell me if you her a voice there. I believe I hear a voice say, "Talk to me!!" If you click on the scroll bar button at the bottom of the video at the 5:47 mark you should hear the voice around the 5:48-5:49 spot of the video. Click the scroll bar button at that time repeatedly will allow you to better hear it. If all that bores you more than even comic sans, that fine I understand. take care.

+Sora Oathkeeper cus it looks childish and goofy and people misuse it in more serious texts

I always think the same. MacOS' version, "Chalkboard", is also a big offender. The worst one is Comic Sans in bolt letters. Eww..

At least it wasn't Papyrus...

We must be psycho...um, I mean psychic!

A woman died in there in 1999 according to one of the other commenters who looked it up. Way too many human like sounds in that place. You know when your brain instinctually identifies things as human, it happened way too much in this video when normally that just doesn't happen. I would have ran out of there terrified.

Me2 & I found it 3yrs AFTER you did!!

Yes, when you see those credit cards early in the film you know someone is hiding out in the building sometimes. That makes it extremely dangerous. It's possible they are gentle people, but they may be startled by someone coming upon them and become violent out of self-defense.

Wonderful way of saying what he does.

I agree fully, but in that moment I would still have run the fuck out

Ok Katie

Even if it was somebody saying help, it wasn't panicked, sounded more like somebody was looking for assistance.

butpreviously And the Buddy suddenly gets possesed,founds an Old knive on the kitchen floor And.......😈 😱Start to peel an apple for breakfast 😜

Right!!!! Makes me nervous also!! I alway think someone is gonna jump out at him at anytime!!!! Scarred for him!!!! Be safe Dan please!!!

@@shanaemerine9074 the boy doesn't need an extra protection because after we done filming, it was around july-september of that year, much like the very same july in the mid 90s when he and I just sat in the basement turning pages around

I came here to say the same thing.😱

benny s If it is his imagination how did he get it on video ? Things in the mind are not shared. In other words if someone is having a hallucination the video camera should show and hear nothing that the person is seeing or hearing.I agree sir that mold rotten floors and criminals are real threats,but whats in this video is not in my imagination to many things happen that can not be explain.

lammar peeter I agree, but that's not what I meant. There are noises, yes, but they can be easily explained by natural causes, like squeaking items, structure movement, heat/cold expansion etc.. When in stress, our imagination can take completely natural elements and turn these to ghosts. The scary atmosphere in the video, is the result of excellent editing, not ghosts :) anyway, as long as we enjoy these videos, who cares if its real ghosts or just squeaking things? ;)

+benny s i dont think that he was only worried about ghosts. If i was in that I would be worried more about real people and dangerous animals than spirits, even though i am a firm believer in them.

im sorry but that was absolutely clear - someone or something said help any animal cant do this and i have heard a few other things too

+benny s - too true. I'm sitting in my well-lighted apartment, on a Monday morning, with neighbors all around and children out on the sidewalk going to school and I'm feeling totally spooked right now! Just watching the video and reading these comments can totally mess with your mind! I had to laugh at myself when I went into the kitchen to get another cup of coffee.

+Meredith B Thanks, Meredith!

+This is Dan Bell. Dan, don't screw around and end up dead, man. Be careful out there.

+This is Dan Bell. perfect video dan

+This is Dan Bell. Dan!!!! i was wondering if you remember could you please tell me which video it was, that you found that shadow and it looked like it was smoking? and someone was looking through you through the doors keyhole?

+Serena E that was the abandoned children's asylum video

Lisandro Perez Jr. Thank you so much, Lisandro!!

Heat. Melts the blades.

@@usandthem2523 how, the fan isn't even metal. I think it's water vapour soaking the wood, making it floppy Or someone pulled them down

+Smifficans YT :-)

+Smifficans YT i agree too.. i cannot eat while watching abandoned houses or anything abandoned.. i thought i had a problem.. glad to know that im not alone.. lol

+Smifficans YT I'm trying to eat pizza and its freaking hard.

+Smifficans YT I apparently can't or forget to even drink. I am so damn thirsty after watchin a few of these. I used to always be exploring abandoned places and stuff, always alone the first time... its some intense nostalgia I am having i guess. ;3

I ate a burrito that was shitting refried beans all over the back of my hand

+RockSteady I just got one. Hopefully it will save me if the ceiling ever collapses on me. lol

+This is Dan Bell. You should also consider bringing some kinda weapon. Like a taser or a stun gun. You never know what kind of crazy junkies could be lurking around in these places.

***** Yeah I know. Several years ago I was doing safeguard work, mainly in the south side of Chicago. (Winterizing or boarding up foreclosed homes.) And we'd run into a few of 'em. They'd either bolt outta there or nervously grab their things and leave quietly, so luckily we never ran into any hostile ones. But we were prepared. We had long, heavy Maglite flashlights, hammers, wrenches etc. It's good to have _something_ just in case.

+Regina Reece Look up at his profile picture... Maybe not young, but uuuhhh... Never mind.

+This is Dan Bell. do you wear a facemask for asbestos exposure?

***** It was a mixture of 80s country, 90s funk and we’re done in 2000.

This is Dan Bell. Oh yeah, the 00s should have been "let's paint everything magnolia" but they must have known the end was nigh if they gave up decorating long before.

I actually stayed here a couple of times before it closed. It was pretty much a dump. Nothing special about it. We would go off season when the rooms were super cheap and stay the weekend. Lots of booze, food and merriment.

***** o hay nice meeting you here

+Sarah Hartman Please describe briefly like, what kinds of things happened there. I'm interested of knowing a few from your personal experience so as to look into other experiences that might be similar or the same as yours from others. Salaam !

well I worked third shift at the hilltop house hotel in harpers ferry in the year 2000/2001 i was a audit clerk and a night desk clerk. there was several different times that crazy things happened in the hotel. I would get phone calls from the rooms that were not occupied, I would go up to the rooms that were unoccupied by guest and there would be no signs of anyone in the room and the room would look as if it was unoccupied ready for guest check in, so number one eerie phone calls to front desk from unoccupied rooms, second after the guest would check out in the morning we would have to do a walk through to see if the guests left anything and the rooms were ready to be cleaned by house keeeping on one occasion I checked one of the suite rooms and as soon as I walked in the room the door shut behind me thinking it was just the wind or a old hotel I paid it no mind to turn around to see the rocking chair in the room rocking back and forth and when what ever was in the room noticed I seen the chair moving it stopped as soon as I turned to leave the room the chair started rocking again, also different times guests would check in and about eleven at night on different occasions they would check out saying they couldn't stay there because of feelings that something was at the end of the bed watching them or there children would wake up out of a dead sleep screaming and crying, several times guests would check in and reguest to move to different rooms in the newer part of the hotel because the main part of the hotel was too eerie to stay in, I also several times heard music coming from the dinning room where the paino was as if it played by itself. and it was a old style piano so there was no way any music was coming from it unless someone was actually sitting there playing it. these are just a few encounters I had at the hill top house, it was actually a very beautiful hotel at one time and it was actually a great place to stay, with many years of changing hands and just being left to fall apart that is why the condition of the hotel is the shape its in now. when it was sold in 2009 by mr Stanhagen, to the new owners they were under aggreement the hotel would be tore down and rebuilt and to this day six years a

the hotel still remains rundown and left to continue to fall apart I wish they would rebuild because its a great location for a hotel and I know from personal experience its very calming and relaxing being there in the hilltop, even with the couple ghosts that continue roaming the halls, its still a beautiful place and I would still stay there if it was still open

Sarah Hartman Thanks for sharing your story. I normally don't ask ppl to share their experiences because some already give a little insight as to what they are or might be. But in this case being that it seemed like a place as big as this one would be occupied by other beings I just had to ask. Almost every story I've read from other both in and out of comments shares the same, if not similar type of experiences. I don't know if you are a Believer but in my case, as a brother once said, if the Djinn try to intimidate you by moving around objects or throwing them, generally, throwing them back to them from where they were thrown stops this activity. In other words never show them that you fear or intimidate them. In your case it seems like you did the right thing by ignoring them. Thanks again and Peace be with You.

+Sarah Hartman I have no doubt about that. I can sense that it's haunted. There's a lot of energy there.

me!! :D I love this stuff :D

I watched in 2015 too. Does that count?

Love it 😎

Me.

2021

alright vivy calm down

I can see where you're coming from. You can see his unedited clips on his second channel: FILM IT. Another thing, the sounds and music just add to the whole effect and make it creepier when a real sound occurs or something extreme.

+American Wrestler - absolutely!!🤗

I agree

i agree. i think the silence is creepier than some halloween sound fx tape playing in the background. it's a psychological thing, too... if youre adding the music, whos to say you didnt add the other creepy sounds. it kills the legitimacy for me. plus, as you said... it makes it really hard to hear what he wants me to hear.

Haha, I would be right behind you, running and screaming.. Lol

***** Yes, that's me..lol

+jaggirl 2003 HA Id be in front of her running like crazy!!

We are a sad lot..lol

+jaggirl 2003 hahahahah I would be walking slowly in back of you singing weird ass songs

What's funny is burkittsville is only 15 minutes from there.

Clarinut LOL! I though the same!

+misshobbity were u talking about the toilet set on the ground?

MORE POWER!

Behold, my genius!

The scariest portrait.......... in the world!!

ASMRWhisperLight. When I first walked up the steps and saw that thing, I almost screamed. Whoever drew it was quite clever. Haha.

ASMRWhisperLight. I know! I had just swallowed a sip of coffee, too. I nearly choked.

TheCatAteMyShoe I DID choke and I wasn't even drinking anything!! P.s. sorry to hear about your shoe.

This is Dan Bell. You did well not to scream lol and yeah I agree the drawing was clever if not a little devious. Hope there's some more dead motel/hotel vids coming they're really good. I like the old timey music as well, gives a different feel to the vids compared to other Urban Explorer channels.

THE SLAKJAWMCGRAW It's ok. It was an flip flop that he decided was delicious and worth destroying.

+twisterdar1 (dar) jup that dragging on the ground is an chair or bed that been replaysed

on the crying part I hear also help!

good catch on the girl asking for help. definately an evp and class a too!

Yeah. He's a hack. Just like the ghost shows on the tube. Cut the existential bullshi! Dude and we might believe it-OR HEAR IT DOOFUS

Holy crap I hear the crying now that's crazyyyy

Exactly! Plus everywhere you see large paint peels it's Lead Paint, Definitely need the Resperator!

You meant respirator. But its fine.

PFBM hope you've since cleaned your piss closet

PFBM hope you're lying. if not I hope youre living situation is better

😆🤣

@@Alex-uy7pc how often do you clean yours and even more what kind of clothes do you wear when you engange in your so called cleaning duties?

Regina Reece oh you dirty thing.

Thanks, Brian. They were in the basement of the other building.

This is Dan Bell. don't know how I missed them! Oh well :)

That other building was very confusing, like a maze. I doubt I saw the whole place myself. So many weird rooms tucked away. The hotel as a whole is a very mismatched building. It's like they just kept adding and adding.

This is Dan Bell. yeah that's exactly what I thought as well (that they added on several times over the years).

+This is Dan Bell. whats the music in the intro?

I am, December 8,2019

Right here right now

Yes, watched this a couple times this year. Wish Dan was doing more of this and not shitty motels on the east coast. There's only so many drugs and crackheads you can find in a motel. Only so many cockroaches and bedbugs you can find. In fact, Tom the cockroach actually told me the other day "yeah, I miss Dan's old stuff too. Dude really sold out after that Ted talk." True story bro

Yes, in fact I've been by the hotel recently...just outside of course. Years ago I stayed there.

aNyOnE eLsE hEre In 2073?

Thanks, man!!

It was

I noticed that too! Do you remember what video it was in? I think I've also seen the face on a different channel, in an abandoned hospital. I wonder who drew it and why.

OMG YES I SAW THAT VIDEO where the drawing of the nose got chipped off?? it was a mall or some place.. it had Crack dealers in it

i remember seeing that one too! just watched it yesterday actually. he said something about why would someone ruin this and how it was such a shame that they did.

YES IVE SEEN IT BEFORE TOO!! I can't remember what video the same exact face was in though :( also go to the house where the dad killed his baby son, there's a drawing in the exact same style of a woman

Must have been awesome. What’s it like to see this video?

Lucky you!

Aren’t you just a little weirdo

Is that it that's the view you want?

heard it too , it couldn't have been Dan because this sounded like a real little girl

tho i thought it was in my ear do! and i don't own headphones 0_0

It was a girl saying "help"

i heard it in my ear! 0_0

I heard an inquisitive cat. Mreow?
