We go back to the room, it's like 12 30-ish. Jason and I go to bed. Jason's fast asleep. The lights are out fully in our room. - I'm blacked out in my room. - I don't even know if, yeah, you were black yet. All of a sudden, the bedside lamp on Jason's side turns on. The lamp has like a switch, like a twisty switch. So it's pitch black and all of a sudden I'm up kind of feeling anxious watching the monitor and this lamp turns on out of nowhere. I turned to him and I'm like, Jason, wake up. The lamp turned on next to you and he's like, sorry, sorry, he turns it off. I'm like, no, it turned on out of nowhere and he's like groggy and drunk and doesn't understand what I'm saying and I'm like, he goes back to bed and I'm like, okay, it's fine, everything's fine. Then at 4 a.m., I realize like, I have to pee. And I cannot-- - And you're terrified. - Oh, oh, I'm 10 out of 10 terrified. I would rather pee the bed than get up alone and go pee. I wake Jason up and I'm like, hey, there was a ghost that turned on the lamp. I have to pee, can you please, if you love me? Wake up for one second and just, can you just make eye contact with me while I pee? That way, if I see a ghost, you'll also see the ghost and I won't be alone seeing a ghost and wondering if I've gone fully mentally insane. And he's like, Jason, also Jason's seen ghost twice. We talked about it previously on an episode. I'm like, he's like, yeah, I got you. And I'm like, perfect, that's why I love you. I go pee, I come back to bed. And he's like, what happened with the lamp? And I'm like, Jason, it turned on by itself. I'm telling him the story, all of a sudden. This is two hours later, the lamp clicks on and turns on again. Jason and I look at each other in a panic. I'm a scaredy cat. Jason is not, I look at Jason and I go, I can't sleep here, we have to go. And he goes, yeah, you know, it's probably better to leave right now because we won't have any traffic than if we leave in the morning on a Monday because like, yeah, let's pack and go. And as soon as I realized that he was being like, like we should get out of here. Tough guy, like we should get out of here. I was like, oh, it's time to go 100%. Let's go. And we packed up all of our stuff at 430 in the morning, gotten in Uber and went all the way home. Because of the ghost. Because it was haunted. Yeah, literally.
