My name is dakota laden.
I am a documentary filmmaker.
For the past few years, I've been investigating
The paranormal with zak bagans and the "ghost adventures" crew.
Dakota laden. Welcome, buddy.
Dakota: I grew up in a house where paranormal activity
Terrorized my entire family.
It has gripped by sister,
My childhood best friend,
And me ever since.
So, I had an idea --
A psychological experiment... Aah!
...Where I would test how terror affects the human mind,
What it reveals about our true selves,
And just how much of it a person can withstand.
To understand the paranormal,
First we need to overcome our fear.
I'm leading us on a road trip to explore
The most haunted abandoned locations in all of america.
Each night, we'll separate and sleep alone.
The catch is, I'm the only one who knows where we're going.

Statler hotel.

Czekaj: The grand and stately statler hotel
In downtown buffalo
Looms large over the city's landscape.
In its glory days, it offered guests every modern amenity,
Including intimate bars for business dealings,
Chandeliered ballrooms and a lavish indoor pool.
When you first walk through the statler,
The beautiful ballrooms in the lobby almost bringing you back
To what the statler must have looked like back in the 1920s.
Hawkins: When it was first built in 1923, and it was finished,
It was one of the first hotels in the united states
That had hotel rooms with bathrooms and showers,
Radios in every single room.
The statler was the gem of buffalo.
It was the most glamorous place to be.
"big names like elvis presley,
Marilyn monroe and dizzy gillespie
Stayed at the statler."
Yeah.
At the time when it was first erected,
It was a hot spot here in buffalo for people...
For the rich and fancy, it sounds like.
Yeah. This was, like, very...
Then it took a turn, a dark turn?
Czekaj: I'm sure that the statler hotel was involved
In some, let's say,
Less-than-stellar activities that were not legal.
The mob was heavily involved in the statler,
And wherever the mob goes, there's gonna be trouble.
Hawkins: Organized crime, it was prominent
In the city of buffalo.
We're right on the border of canada.
It wouldn't take an intelligent man
To guess that there was some alcohol
Smuggled into this building.
Czekaj: Turf wars, deal gone bad,
A snitch that got whacked --
That's why we think the meat locker is so active.
Dakota: Here, objects are thrown by unseen hands.
Doors slam shut on their own.
Evps have shown an entity named frank
Who was allegedly an enforcer for the mob
And a victim named kevin.
Czekaj: If you have 1,100-room hotel,
How are you gonna take someone out?
[ gunshot ]
And where are you gonna put the body?
More than likely, the victim didn't make it out of the hotel
All in one piece.
Dakota: Not only was the statler
The stomping ground of brutal criminals,
Its towering stature also made it a draw
For those who wanted to end their own lives.
Every single floor of the statler
Is considered a suicide floor.
Hawkins: There's so many areas
That I know people have jumped off.
I strongly believe that some of those people
Are still around here at the statler.
A spirit just doesn't become happy
Just because it's ended their own lives.
There's still sadness there.
Dakota: Two hotel managers died while on duty of heart attacks.
Plus industrial accidents like a maid
Whose arm was ripped off by the service elevator
Also added to the body count.
Oh, my gosh. That's so creepy.
There's so much death...
Seriously, there's a ton of death.
...For a hotel.
The 18th floor where the managers lived
Has a lot of paranormal activity.
People report hearing disembodied voices
Whispering in their ear
And shadows darting across hallways.
The area where I've experienced more of a sense of violence
Is on the upper floors.
Hawkins: On the 18th floor,
I've heard noises and voices, footsteps.
People have definitely seen shadows move from,
You know, one room to another.
They're dark, and when you see them,
They're darker than the dark.
If you can picture yourself
Walking down these empty halls,
You are not alone.
They are everywhere.
Dakota: The elevators have been seen operating on their own,
Slowing or stopping on the floors that were not pushed,
Especially on the 11th floor
Where people hear their names called.
One of my creepiest experiences at the statler
Was actually in the elevator.
We were headed up to the 18th floor, and I said,
"well, we don't have to worry, as long as it doesn't stop,"
And all of a sudden, it stopped.
The doors just opened,
And I just said, "don't get off."
Chelsea: If anything happens on the 18th floor,
There's no way in heck you're running down 18 floors.
No.
So you're waiting for the elevator if something...
The haunted elevator. Gee, yeah, yeah.
...The haunted elevator if something bad happens.
It's not even a safe haven.
You don't look so happy, chels.
Oh! Oh, ho, ho, ho, ho!
No way!
I said if I was gonna... If that was...
Dude, dude!
It's funny. You guys all laugh now.
Just wait. You're sick.
You're twisted.
How could I pass on a location like this?

But I don't want to be on this floor anymore.
Can you make a loud noise, slam a door?
Whoa.

Tanner is, like, the big, lovable protector of the group.
Oh, boy.
He does a really good job putting on a brave face
When he's not at his best, and right now,
Even I can tell that something is going on with him.
I'll be completely honest.
My throat is absolutely killing me right now.
This morning, I woke up and just coughed
And then just spit into the sink.
It was, like, a blackish-brownish, weird,
Like, specks everywhere, so I think what I'm gonna do
Because I really want to make this overnight,
I'm gonna just go to the hospital quick.
I'm sorry, dude. Yeah.
But it's better to be safe. Yeah.
So we just had to send tanner to the hospital.
He is coughing up black mucus,
And that's not a good sign at all.

Kristie: I'm a medium, yes. I'm a psychic medium.
I'm also an empath, comes from the word empathy.

What spirit wants me to feel
And/or what I pick up on from people around me.
I'm also capable of channeling and letting spirit
Truly channel through me. Mm-hmm.
So you've been to the statler hotel.
Yes, I have.
What have you experienced?
I have befriended some mobsters, we'll say.
Mob, the mob. Yes.
The mob. Right.
So there is a mobster, frank,
Who was from what I've been able
To get from him more of an enforcer, and...
For the mafia, right?
The mafia, and I have come into contact
With one of his victims that is still there as well.
Oh, my gosh.
He does not like for me to bring that up usually.
Where's frank?
You can find him in the meat locker.
People would be brought down there,
From what I've been able to gather, to be roughed up,
But there were a lot of people
Who didn't come back up from there either.
Damn. And that's just the way it was.
You may see shadows.
You may even catch glimpses
Of what you think are people, you know...
My gosh. ...Moving around.
You may hear sounds. You may hear knocking.
Your senses are gonna be on high alert in the statler.
It sounds like the statler is very active.
It is. It is very active,
And when you're not at your best,
Mentally, spiritually, physically, emotionally,
You're already vulnerable... Mm-hmm.
...To what's around you,
And it will absolutely wear you down.
You really have to have a healthy respect for the fact
That there are things out there
That are so much bigger than us... Yeah.
...That we are never all gonna understand.
100%.
And we all need to work together to figure it out.
So weird, it's just me and you.
I know. It's just me and you.
Our buddy is gone. Tanner is gone.
It doesn't feel right without tanner.
It feels like we're missing a big piece.
We are missing a big piece.
It sucks.
I bet he'll be okay.
Hope so.
I haven't heard anything from tanner yet.
He's not answering his phone or anything.
I have a bad feeling about this, but...
Mm-hmm.
I'm hoping that he's gonna be able
To make it tonight, but...
We have to have him. He can't miss this one.
This is the biggest location we're going to.
And there's a chance that he still might come...
Yeah. ...With us, right?
I still think it's a 50/50.
I don't really know.
Think that's him.
Yeah, that's tanner.
Yeah, he doesn't look good.
The good thing is he's out of the hospital.
He does not look happy.
What's up, dude?
What's up? What's going on?
So went to the doctors, told them kind of,
Like, you know, the whole what we're doing.
You know, we're in abandoned locations.
It's dusty, all that jazz.
There's black mold in some of these places,
So what they decided, the smartest thing to do
Is for me to get an x-ray.
So I did two x-rays,
And, um...
They gave me a clear bill of health.

Right where we heard the talking...
So I'm gonna put these into an editing program on my phone.
Basically I'm increasing the brightness
And reducing the contrast
So we can get a wide look at the whole room.
Okay.
We're looking right there at this window
Right at the end of the hall, okay?
Notice how there's nothing on the first picture.
This is enhanced now.
Nothing on the second picture,
Third picture there's something on the left side.
Dude, that's transparent.
Then look at this. I'll zoom in.
Boom, there's something right there.
See how, like, it looks like something's
Covering the bottom left, like, almost like a head
On the left bottom of the window?
Yeah.
But notice how you can see through the center of it.
I got to show chelsea and tanner this.
Dude, yeah.
Hey, chelsea, tanner.
Oh, my gosh.
Go for tanner.
You guys got to come look at this picture I caught.
Alright. We'll start heading there right now.
What the... Okay.
Dakota has actually never called us up early.
For evidence.
Huh. This must be big.
Dude, I'm not sleeping up there.
Holy crap.
♪♪
Tanner: Yo, what's up?
Dakota: Okay. Everyone, just take a seat.
This is probably one of the scariest things
I've had happen on a trip.
Me and alex, we got to the 18th floor, and I say,
"can you make a loud noise? Can you slam a door?"
Right after I said, "door," boom, boom,
And then we hear talking, straight up two people talking.
What?
We weren't even thinking paranormal.
We're like, "someone is up here."
We aimed back towards the direction
Where we heard the voices coming from,
And I started taking pictures,
And it looks like we caught a shadow.
So do you guys want to see these photos?
Yeah, I do really badly.
- Here. - What?
Okay. I enhanced them already.
Look at this window when you're scrolling,
That window at the very end, okay?
Okay. Now scroll to the right.
That's nothing there, right?
Mm-hmm. Now scroll to the right.
[ gasps ] whoa.
Shut up.
No way.
Yo, that's an actual freaking shadow.
And it looks like something crosses the window almost,
So you see how you see, like, a head on the bottom left?
Like, you can see the head.
Yeah.
Look at the chest. It's see-through.
See-through. You can see through the chest.
It's, like, a bullet wound or something like that.
Alex: Dude! What?
- Heart attack. - Ooh.
The heart attack on the 18th floor!
That's creepy.
I don't know if that's any connection,
But missing the heart, heart...
No, no, that's a good point. I don't know.
That's incredible.
What the hell?
I know, and that's the exact area
We heard the voices and the loud bangs.
I think that 18th floor has got something up there.
Oh, 100%.
We are going to go and sleep alone.
Freaking crud.
- No! - No way.
No. No.
♪♪
Dakota: You guys ready to face your fears?
Usually we got a lot more activity when we're secluded,
And now it's time to sleep alone
At the biggest location we've ever been to.
Separated by multiple floors.
We've all agreed on the four scariest locations
In this massive abandoned hotel,
And that is the 18th floor, where alex and myself
Captured our first-ever full-bodied apparition,
The 11th floor where you guys heard the screaming, right?
Yep.
That's exactly where we heard the screaming.
The second floor, which is reported to have
The darkest haunting in the entire building...
How many people are here with us?
Many?
...Then a hallway in the basement.
Tanner: That's where our brand-new battery
Went from 127 minutes all the way down to zero.
Everywhere in this building sucks.
Yeah, it is horrible.
So tanner is gonna write out those four scariest areas
That we just agreed on.
Then we're gonna draw, and that's where you go sleep
For the rest of the night.
- Here we go. - Oh, gosh.
The 11th. You're so lucky.
Dakota: Tanner got the 11th floor.
Dude, I will trade you whatever I get next with that.
Alright. Here we go.
I'm gonna draw. What floor?
Second floor. Second floor.
I did not go on the second floor yet.
You guys said the second floor is crazy, right?
Second floor is absolutely nuts.
[ sighs ] well, I hope you're not right.
Alright. Chelsea is up.
But I can't get the 18th floor.
Oh, dude, the 18th floor or the basement.
- Oh [bleep] - yeah.
Yeah, you're either top or bottom.
Alright. She's grabbed it.
No!
- What? - The 18th floor.
My god.
I don't want to do that.
I'll trade with you.
I'll take the 18th.
You can do that. I'm not...
If you really don't want it, I'll take the 18th.
Okay. I'm gonna do it.
You're gonna do it?
I'm gonna try to do it.
I don't want to have rules because of me being a baby.
Alex: But I'm in the basement?
- Yeah. - Yeah.
Dakota: So alex got the basement.
This sucks.
Freaking crud.
Son of a [bleep] here we go.
♪♪
All the way to the top.
This is where you took that picture?
- Yeah. - Yeah, right there.
- Alright. - Alright, chelsea.
Tanner: Good luck.
I can't believe they let me even come up here by myself.
Alright, man. Good night, dude.
Alright, man. Good luck.
Alex: Yeah, I really feel bad for chelsea.
[ clank ] geez.
Let's go get you set.
Alright, dude. Good night.
Night, man.
Right now, I am currently about to go to bed.
I'm on the second floor.
Honestly, I'm not gonna sleep.
I don't think I'm going to sleep at all.
There are 18 floors in this hotel.
I'm on the very, very top.
There has been talking up here.
We saw a creepy shadow thing.
Like, I couldn't even reach my brother
If I wanted to on this walkie.
I can only reach one person, and that's tanner.
I'm on the 11th floor.
This is where me and chelsea heard a very loud scream,
And, well, I don't know.
You're not supposed to hear screams when you're by yourself.
I'm in the freaking basement.
Right around the corner to my left there
Is where the meat lockers are.
I was really hoping
That I wouldn't have to come back down here.

[ bang! ]
Whoa!
I just heard a very loud bang.

What is going on?
Hello?
No way.
The elevator is moving. Please do not open.
No! Hello?

No, no!
Alex, can you get [bleep] up here right now?
What happened?
Dude, the elevator just came from wherever it was
And opened on the second floor.
Holy [bleep] okay.
I'm coming. I'm coming.
Dude, hustle. I am freaking out.
The [bleep] okay.
I'm coming right now. I'm on the elevator.
Oh, my gosh.
Please leave me alone.
Whatever is doing that, leave me alone.
Oh, my god. Alex.
- Dude. - Alex.
- Yo. Dude [bleep]
Dude, what the hell is wrong with this floor?
I don't know, but I cannot be up here anymore, not alone.
You can sit if you want to.
Oh, my god.

Hello? [bleep]
Is there anybody in there?
No.
[bleep] honest to god.
No. I told you!
Dude, I think you pissed something off.
I think I pissed something off, too.
I don't know how, though. I wasn't even mean or anything.
No. I don't know what to think.
Something's up here. Something's messing with us.
I do not want to do this anymore. No.
I am, like, really about to break.
I'm sitting down.
Well, I think we've all had enough for now.
I'm so messed up right now.
My head is just scrambled.
I think it's time that we got out of here.
The sun is out now, and it's time to wrap this up.

Chelsea. - Oh.
- You okay? - Yeah, dude.
I just am so glad to hear your voice right now.
Holy crap.
That was so scary.
Dakota: Alright. We are done.
We are done with the statler hotel.
Tanner: Oh, golly.
That was so intense, you guys.
Chelsea: The statler did not disappoint.
I actually underestimated
How big 950,000 square feet really is.
- I can't believe... - Whoo!
Tanner: Because it was so large, it was just really lonely.
It was so weird being by yourself
And knowing that you're floors and floors separated.
That was bone-chilling.
I did not think that this hotel would scare me
As much as it did.
I almost actually had a full mental breakdown,
And I had to call alex up to my sleeping arrangement
Because I was so scared, which is a little embarrassing
Because I thought I was a little tougher than that,
But I guess not.
Alex: Dakota sounded more scared
Than I have ever heard him in my life,
And I've been friends with him for a long time.
♪♪
- Bye, statler. - Bye.
See you later.
Chelsea: This journey, I'm really trying to max out
On what I am capable of doing,
And I'm fairly surprised at how far I've come.
You know, I can see the finish line, but every time
I put my head on that pillow,
I think I made the wrong decision every time.
It is going to send chills down your spine
When you find out where we're going next.
Alex: I don't know what to expect.
We all know he's not gonna give us
Some little rinky-dink location where we can all hold hands
And be touching all four corners of the walls.
Tanner: If I know dakota,
It's going to be the worst of the worst,
But I feel like I've grown in where, like,
I still get very scared.
However, it's almost like I'm familiar with being scared,
And I'm comfortable around being frightened.
Dakota: This has been an absolutely wild ride.
We've gone through a lot emotionally,
Physically and just spiritually,
But this next one will challenge us like
We have never been challenged before.
