i set my phone down and went back to asking questions.

"ok, i told corbin what you said"

"cor-bin"

"yes, anything else you'd like to tell me?"

"open box"

"did elton open the dybbuk box?"

"YES"

"ok- are they in danger?"

a large bang came from the elevators and nothing else. i sat in silence for what seemed like forever before i turned off the equipment and packed everything up. for a while i just waited for them to come downstairs. the doors opened and the guys filed out, all talking indistinctly about what happened on the roof. corbin walked over to me and i wrapped him up in a hug. when we let go of each other, i saw that his hand was all red.

"what happened?"

"i was trying to put out a candle by pushing air at it but hit it instead and the wax spilt on me"

"was that after or before elton opened the dybbuk box?"

the guys looked at me in shock and i smiled.

"i texted corbin because the spirt box down here kept saying scary box and roof"

"wait, you used the spirit box by yourself?"

"and the rempod"

"so you made contact with something?"

"yes, elisa mostly but bobby was there too"

"the fact that she was by herself down here and her only contact was text messages and still knew about the dybbuk box is insane"

"did you film it?"

"did i film it? of course i filmed it"

"and this is why you're the best"

i laughed before looking at the elevators where i saw a blurry figure of a woman. i knew it was elisa, and i was sad that i couldn't help her move on. as we packed up our things i made sure that nothing could follow us, then stood by the guys to film our outro. it was weird to say goodbye to this place, it felt like it wanted us to stay there forever. we said goodbye to patti, matt, and josh before going to the airport to fly out to new york for the next video. as we walked through the airport a couple fans stopped us to say hi, which made the whole experience so much better. of course corey needed to get his breakfast, so in turn we almost missed our flight. as we boarded i decided to work on editing some more of the videos to pass the time. when we got through the baggage claim and rented another car, we stopped at a restaurant for dinner. after wasting about two hours just sitting around and talking we drove to the shanley hotel. 

for once i decided to go into an investigation knowing nothing about the place. the building was beautifully restored, the siding still holding pieces of history. i wandered inside and looked around. the wallpaper felt straight from the 1900s and all the glamourous fabrics added to the feeling of going back in time. i could hear the guys messing around outside, and decided to get back at corbin for scaring me at the cecil. i walked into the bathroom and shut the door slightly. i heard the front door open and watched as the guys filed in one by one. corbin was the last one inside, so i reached through the door and grabbed his sleeve. he jumped away from me as corey and elton turned around.

"what the hell!"

"thats payback for cecil"

"that even scared me!"

"what a great start to shanley hotel"

we all made our way towards the front room where cathy was standing. evan and elton messed around with the cameras while cathy handed out papers.
