00:00:00.320 --> 00:00:05.879
He likes to travel, he likes
to go to different places or to stay
2
00:00:05.879 --> 00:00:11.000
in a hotel, for example,
that that hotel offers him a nice room,
3
00:00:11.800 --> 00:00:16.280
but not any room of lines,
but something that you have love,
4
00:00:16.559 --> 00:00:20.359
that the building is nice, that
he eats well, that there are wide
5
00:00:20.440 --> 00:00:27.480
spaces, that there are these beautiful
stairs, that there are many ornaments,
6
00:00:27.760 --> 00:00:31.440
things to see we are going to
have his own ghosts and his own stories.
7
00:00:33.000 --> 00:00:36.399
If you like tonight, we'
re going to tell you about one
8
00:00:36.479 --> 00:00:42.640
of those hotels where staying means more
than just spending the night. The same
9
00:00:47.280 --> 00:01:00.799
dark side accounts for strange beings,
inexplicable events, diversified stories that otherlinds prefer
10
00:01:00.159 --> 00:01:17.359
ignorant. Don let me bring it
back a little in time. It is
11
00:01:17.480 --> 00:01:23.799
in nineteen hundred and ninety- two
and the American rock band Concrey Blond has
12
00:01:23.920 --> 00:01:30.760
performed in the Texan city of Austin
a tremendous concert. This group in those
13
00:01:30.840 --> 00:01:38.799
years used to give very energetic concerts, full of intensity. Vocalist Johnette Napolitano
14
00:01:38.840 --> 00:01:46.120
had a spectacular voice and continues to
have it. But in the concerts his
15
00:01:46.159 --> 00:01:51.200
performance was to jump, dance,
sing, scream for a while, so
16
00:01:51.239 --> 00:02:00.280
normally, after a long day,
he would end up exhausted at the end
17
00:02:00.280 --> 00:02:06.799
of the day. In Austin and
as part of his whole package of activities,
18
00:02:06.879 --> 00:02:12.039
he is assigned a room in a
downtown hotel. It' s an
19
00:02:12.039 --> 00:02:15.360
old hotel, but it' s
a very special hotel, it' s
20
00:02:15.439 --> 00:02:17.400
a very dear hotel for the city. So you don' t think twice
21
00:02:17.400 --> 00:02:22.639
about it You don' t know
anything about this place It' s really
22
00:02:22.639 --> 00:02:23.879
not something you' re worried about. When he arrives, the only thing
23
00:02:23.960 --> 00:02:28.400
he realizes is that the rooms are
relatively small. But that' s very
24
00:02:28.400 --> 00:02:37.759
good, because it' s comfortable, it' s practical and it has
25
00:02:37.840 --> 00:02:43.400
this old taste like sitting in a
rocking chair with a very old blanket,
26
00:02:43.400 --> 00:02:46.759
very tasty. The rest of the
equipment is distributed in different places. She
27
00:02:46.840 --> 00:02:53.199
stays in this really weird room.
He loves it in the old part of
28
00:02:53.280 --> 00:02:58.000
the hotel. After a while,
already when the staff retires from some things
29
00:02:58.000 --> 00:03:00.919
that has to see if they close
their pero decides to take a good bath,
30
00:03:01.360 --> 00:03:07.159
it turns out that the room has
a beautiful tub. It' s
31
00:03:07.199 --> 00:03:12.000
a room that' s in the
corner, on the top level of the
32
00:03:12.120 --> 00:03:16.159
building, and it' s got
a tub of those strange irons. You
33
00:03:16.280 --> 00:03:23.400
can' t help it by taking
a good bath, warm, steamy,
34
00:03:23.400 --> 00:03:29.039
relaxing. When she finishes bathing,
she wraps herself in a towel with a
35
00:03:29.159 --> 00:03:34.960
bathing gown that says here or the
name and all that. The problem is
36
00:03:34.960 --> 00:03:38.159
that when you go out when you
open the bathroom door, while you are
37
00:03:38.240 --> 00:03:43.280
rubbing with a towel on your head
and suddenly move as you turn your view
38
00:03:43.319 --> 00:03:46.120
to the left. There, by
the window, keep in mind that it
39
00:03:46.159 --> 00:03:52.400
must be more than one in the
morning. By the window there' s
40
00:03:52.439 --> 00:03:55.719
a gentleman, there' s a
man standing in the window looking out.
41
00:03:57.080 --> 00:04:00.800
He' s a guy wearing a
Texan hat, he' s a cowboy.
42
00:04:01.520 --> 00:04:05.240
You can see the figure of this
guy. There she gets shocked and
43
00:04:05.280 --> 00:04:11.919
about to scream and start asking for
help. What the hell is a guy
44
00:04:11.919 --> 00:04:15.400
doing in his room, but when
she' s about to throw the towel
45
00:04:15.719 --> 00:04:20.759
on the floor and run away screaming, that silhouette turns around gently as if
46
00:04:20.800 --> 00:04:24.920
to look at her. But there
is nothing to see, because at the
47
00:04:24.959 --> 00:04:31.319
same time that it makes this movement
in the image, it dissolves in the
48
00:04:33.079 --> 00:04:39.480
air and disappears the singer. This
woman would be very impressed with that temperament
49
00:04:39.560 --> 00:04:45.160
to raise an audience of forty-
zero spectators and put them to frantic dance
50
00:04:45.279 --> 00:04:48.920
with force. She' s been
impressed, but that same force keeps her
51
00:04:49.000 --> 00:04:55.639
from running away. She just gets
really surprised. She would spend the rest
52
00:04:55.639 --> 00:05:01.519
of the night very restless and,
as told in the morning, not only
53
00:05:01.560 --> 00:05:10.319
had she been restless, but she
had even written a song dedicated to the
54
00:05:10.360 --> 00:05:15.079
ghost cowboy in the room, and
it is that the beloved singer johnet Napolitano
55
00:05:15.600 --> 00:05:24.160
had stayed, according to legend,
at the Driskel Hotel in Austin, Texas,
56
00:05:24.399 --> 00:05:29.920
in the United States of America,
a hotel that is famous for being
57
00:05:29.959 --> 00:05:32.839
one of the most haunted in the
world or, at least, of those
58
00:05:32.879 --> 00:05:39.720
with the greatest paranormal presence ever known, would not be the only one.
59
00:05:40.759 --> 00:05:46.000
The singer of the group Euritmix,
who would also give a presentation in the
60
00:05:46.000 --> 00:05:51.079
Austin area, would live something similar
having a character who also smelled of tobacco
61
00:05:51.120 --> 00:05:56.879
in a building where smoking was forbidden. The fact is, the site has
62
00:05:56.920 --> 00:06:03.519
a great story. The building was
built casually, not so long ago.
63
00:06:03.560 --> 00:06:06.879
The land was bought in one thousand
eight hundred and eighty- four, so
64
00:06:08.000 --> 00:06:13.319
it must be about one hundred and
thirty- something years old, but it
65
00:06:13.319 --> 00:06:16.079
is a very particular building. The
guy who built it was Colonel Jesse Driskel.
66
00:06:18.000 --> 00:06:24.199
Triskile wasn' t just some guy. This man had made his fortune
67
00:06:25.079 --> 00:06:30.879
by selling meat to the soldiers,
both Confederate and Union, depending on those
68
00:06:30.959 --> 00:06:34.600
who walked where the cattle were.
He sold him to the highest bidder,
69
00:06:35.560 --> 00:06:39.920
so he wasn' t a man
of strong convictions, he was a businessman,
70
00:06:43.120 --> 00:06:46.720
a farmman. His job was not
to raise cattle, but to buy
71
00:06:46.800 --> 00:06:54.959
them from those who raised them and
carry massive prayers wherever they needed. It
72
00:06:55.040 --> 00:07:00.600
was the time of the bulldozers,
of the cowboys who carried great acts of
73
00:07:00.600 --> 00:07:03.959
cattle. That was Driskild' s
business. Of course in the war.
74
00:07:04.319 --> 00:07:10.920
Many people died in the secession war, the American civil war. But in
75
00:07:10.959 --> 00:07:14.519
reality, he did very well with
that, because he sold his cattle to
76
00:07:14.600 --> 00:07:19.519
whoever bought them. The fact is, he also had another lot of business
77
00:07:19.600 --> 00:07:25.199
and he was a man very much
given to three things, the drink,
78
00:07:25.879 --> 00:07:30.079
the game and, of course,
the ladies. When, being a little
79
00:07:30.120 --> 00:07:33.399
older man, he decides to do
something with all the money he has instead
80
00:07:33.480 --> 00:07:36.680
of keeping it in store, what
he thinks is to build a hotel in
81
00:07:36.879 --> 00:07:42.680
Austin. Casually, at that time
Austin was not the big city, but
82
00:07:42.720 --> 00:07:46.560
rather a town, a dusty town
with dirt streets where people rode on horseback.
83
00:07:48.519 --> 00:07:53.439
There was no electrical energy, of
course, there were no cars,
84
00:07:54.079 --> 00:07:58.120
there was nothing yet. If only
there was a train station and a lot
85
00:07:58.120 --> 00:08:03.519
of dust. But Colonel Chriskile hires
a Texas architect to design that and designs
86
00:08:03.600 --> 00:08:13.639
an incredibly detailed building for him.
The original building had three entrances, depending
87
00:08:13.000 --> 00:08:20.000
on the address. Each entrance had
a function and each one had precious columns
88
00:08:20.319 --> 00:08:24.360
that raised the porch. It was
a relatively small building. Four floors,
89
00:08:24.680 --> 00:08:31.439
with a beautiful central staircase, with
marble, with lots of wooden ornaments.
90
00:08:31.600 --> 00:08:39.399
The interior ornamentation was impressive. The
spaces of the first Riskield were tremendous.
91
00:08:39.799 --> 00:08:43.440
On the second floor was the food
area, there was the dance hall.
92
00:08:45.320 --> 00:08:50.720
In the lower part was the bar, the hall area and some other things
93
00:08:50.759 --> 00:08:56.039
that could be used, such as
the barbershop. This building was thought of
94
00:08:56.080 --> 00:08:58.879
as far away, west was very
elegant for the time. Of course,
95
00:09:00.440 --> 00:09:07.080
they had things like gas lighting.
The long inner corridors were lit with gas
96
00:09:07.120 --> 00:09:13.840
lamps, but the site was filled
with very rough people, cowboys and mules.
97
00:09:15.799 --> 00:09:18.600
So it wasn' t strange that
there were bullets in there, too.
98
00:09:18.080 --> 00:09:20.960
Although the weapons were requested to be
left at the reception, there were
99
00:09:20.960 --> 00:09:28.159
also shots and another very peculiar detail. Since the hotel was known to be
100
00:09:28.279 --> 00:09:35.440
full of very rough people. Thick- mouthed drunk smoker. The ladies were
101
00:09:35.440 --> 00:09:39.840
coming in through a different door.
It was known that ladies would also arrive
102
00:09:39.840 --> 00:09:45.120
and that they would not be exposed
to obscene language and you were and did
103
00:09:45.200 --> 00:09:48.639
not have to be contaminated with tobacco. They had their own entrance that led
104
00:09:48.720 --> 00:09:54.519
them straight to the rooms. Little
detail of gallantry, but not only that.
105
00:09:54.799 --> 00:09:58.840
It also worked very well because Mr
Triskill loved to be visited by Ladies
106
00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:01.639
and so that it was not known
which lady had entered or what time she
107
00:10:01.679 --> 00:10:07.080
had entered. They were coming in
through the ladies' door. So it
108
00:10:07.159 --> 00:10:13.159
was a very peculiar place. Sixty
rooms, had some amenities like a Turkish
109
00:10:13.279 --> 00:10:22.279
bath and four of the rooms,
the corners of each floor had their own
110
00:10:22.360 --> 00:10:28.360
bathroom. Oh, yeah, this
was something that wasn' t used before.
111
00:10:28.960 --> 00:10:33.480
Before. There were no bathrooms in
the rooms. There was a small
112
00:10:33.559 --> 00:10:37.000
pot of water and a jar for
one to wash one' s face and
113
00:10:37.000 --> 00:10:41.159
hands, but the rest was in
a common bathroom. This hotel innovated by
114
00:10:41.200 --> 00:10:48.759
putting in each corner a room with
bathroom. Casually, Triskell occupied the room
115
00:10:50.799 --> 00:10:56.759
on the corner of the right and
was a great smoker. The fact is
116
00:10:56.759 --> 00:11:01.440
that the businesses were not also even
when the hotel opened with hype and saucer
117
00:11:01.519 --> 00:11:05.879
on December 20th, one thousand eight
hundred and eighty- six, for the
118
00:11:05.879 --> 00:11:13.559
following year it was closed and very
soon would be sold. Tragically, Driskil
119
00:11:13.759 --> 00:11:18.120
would die in a thousand eight hundred
and eighty- eight. He could never
120
00:11:18.200 --> 00:11:22.759
really enjoy the hotel even though he
lived there practically every day from its opening
121
00:11:22.799 --> 00:11:26.759
until his death, the hotel had
to be sold. Some say he lost
122
00:11:26.840 --> 00:11:35.840
it on an unlikely bet, actually, in a terrible winter. Much of
123
00:11:35.919 --> 00:11:43.159
the cattle Driskell had died between drought
and cold. He lost a lot of
124
00:11:43.200 --> 00:11:46.279
money and found himself in the need
to sell the hotel to his brother-
125
00:11:46.440 --> 00:11:52.039
in- law, who at the
time had a bank that he installed in
126
00:11:52.080 --> 00:11:54.320
one of the corners of the building
and where the armored box is still kept.
127
00:11:54.440 --> 00:11:58.120
The fact is that Driskill, with
the sadness of losing his magna work,
128
00:11:58.440 --> 00:12:07.240
dies very soon. From there,
the hotel is changing hands. By
129
00:12:07.320 --> 00:12:13.879
the beginning of the 20th century it
would be remodeled again and about one thousand
130
00:12:13.919 --> 00:12:18.919
nine hundred thirty was built the annex, which is a thirteen- story building
131
00:12:18.919 --> 00:12:22.840
that connects the hotel. Then I' d pass another hand. In a
132
00:12:22.879 --> 00:12:24.720
thousand nine hundred and sixty- six, they were about to demolish it.
133
00:12:24.879 --> 00:12:31.000
The machines were already there, but
fortunately it was saved and the Hyat chain
134
00:12:31.039 --> 00:12:35.360
is currently the owner. Why I
tell you all this, why this hotel
135
00:12:35.440 --> 00:12:41.720
has a great history, a great
story and in the middle of this story
136
00:12:41.879 --> 00:12:50.000
are terrible events and that obviously are
believed to have generated the ghostly presence.
137
00:12:52.519 --> 00:12:58.720
One of the events that is remembered
is a tragic death. You' ll
138
00:12:58.759 --> 00:13:03.960
see in the year of 1,
800 when the hotel opens. Very close
139
00:13:03.000 --> 00:13:11.600
to there they were building Congress for
the Texas Senate, but it wasn'
140
00:13:11.720 --> 00:13:16.600
t finished. Senators from the U
S state of Texas therefore met at the
141
00:13:16.679 --> 00:13:22.039
Driskel Hotel, which was just opened
for sessions. In the famous Ballroom,
142
00:13:22.200 --> 00:13:28.399
everything was built in the Bold Dancerum
or Boldrum, everything was built for the
143
00:13:28.679 --> 00:13:33.039
senators to discuss the issues. So
many of them who came from other regions
144
00:13:33.159 --> 00:13:37.159
of Texas stayed right there. The
fact is that one of these senators,
145
00:13:37.879 --> 00:13:45.919
Temple Leah Houston, arrives there accompanied
by his wife, his little son and
146
00:13:46.000 --> 00:13:50.600
his little girl, Samantha, the
little girl of his eyes, a caramelito,
147
00:13:50.240 --> 00:13:56.360
an incredible creature in her dress with
Caireles, a girl of the Victorian
148
00:13:56.360 --> 00:14:01.039
era, with little shoes that are
very beautiful to a cheerful and playful.
149
00:14:01.200 --> 00:14:07.159
Temple Leah Houston was a very young
man, he was an amazing lawyer who
150
00:14:07.240 --> 00:14:09.919
had developed a very fast activity at
his twenty- five years old. He
151
00:14:11.039 --> 00:14:16.039
was a Senator of the State of
Texas. He was a bar lawyer,
152
00:14:16.399 --> 00:14:22.200
a guy with a lot of money
and very proud of his family. While
153
00:14:22.279 --> 00:14:26.840
you' re staying at the hotel. Everything is going very well, or
154
00:14:26.960 --> 00:14:31.879
at least it seems so. April
1 887, the Senator visits his wife
155
00:14:35.360 --> 00:14:43.799
and children in the room. They' re on the tablenin level in one
156
00:14:43.840 --> 00:14:48.080
of the suites. After saying goodbye
and giving them the kiss of good night,
157
00:14:48.879 --> 00:14:52.440
he returns to the session that is
extending and is held at the end
158
00:14:52.960 --> 00:14:58.039
of the corridor in the living room, in the bal room, as they
159
00:14:58.120 --> 00:15:03.320
called him a ballroom. They'
re locked in there. Without knowing that
160
00:15:03.399 --> 00:15:09.440
while his wife has gone to the
bathroom, little four- year- old
161
00:15:09.519 --> 00:15:16.879
Samanta has taken her ball and gone
out to play in the hallway is late
162
00:15:16.879 --> 00:15:20.679
at night. So there' s
practically no one in the corridors. The
163
00:15:20.759 --> 00:15:26.320
little girl plays by throwing the ball
cheerfully as she laughs by throwing it and
164
00:15:26.320 --> 00:15:33.559
running behind her, not knowing that
death is around the corner, because just
165
00:15:33.639 --> 00:15:41.000
around the corner. The long corridor
leads to the steep stairs that in one
166
00:15:41.039 --> 00:15:46.840
thousand eight hundred and eighty- seven
were entirely marble. The corridor leading to
167
00:15:46.879 --> 00:15:54.720
the stairs is equally marble. Slippery, shiny, thin hard. The little
168
00:15:54.799 --> 00:16:00.399
girl runs with her ball that slops
to the stairs, being happily followed by
169
00:16:00.440 --> 00:16:07.279
the little one that her curls,
those blond caireles fly as she runs laughing
170
00:16:07.440 --> 00:16:11.879
cheerfully, slips and begins to fall
heavy by taking a turn, after another
171
00:16:11.960 --> 00:16:15.360
after another, until reaching the rest
of the ladder where she finds death.
172
00:16:15.440 --> 00:16:22.080
When he hit his head, it
would take a while before someone came by
173
00:16:22.120 --> 00:16:26.399
and realized there was a dead girl
there. When they realize this, they
174
00:16:26.399 --> 00:16:30.120
report immediately everyone knows that this is
Samantha Houston, the Senator' s daughter.
175
00:16:30.399 --> 00:16:37.039
Someone runs to where the session is
and Senator' s Temple Houston comes
176
00:16:37.080 --> 00:16:44.279
running where he finds his dead daughter
lying at the stairwell break. When someone
177
00:16:44.320 --> 00:16:48.759
comes up to want to cover her
up, to want to move her to
178
00:16:48.879 --> 00:16:52.200
do something, he unhooks a gun
and threatens to kill whoever touches her the
179
00:16:53.120 --> 00:16:57.759
girl is alive, he' s
just sleeping, dislocated with the gun in
180
00:16:57.799 --> 00:17:03.880
his hand, threatening everyone who approaches, until finally a fellow senator manages to
181
00:17:03.880 --> 00:17:08.920
take the gun, remove it and
control it. After removing the gun,
182
00:17:10.759 --> 00:17:17.799
the man begs someone to do something, but there' s nothing to do.
183
00:17:18.319 --> 00:17:23.240
The child is dead. This is
reported and the girl is taken out
184
00:17:23.319 --> 00:17:30.440
of the hotel. The press is
also aware, but Driskeld, the owner,
185
00:17:30.519 --> 00:17:36.000
along with the other members of the
Senate, convince journalists only to mention
186
00:17:36.640 --> 00:17:41.119
death. You mustn' t say
the name. However, Senator Houston is
187
00:17:41.200 --> 00:17:47.440
completely destroyed to the point where he
demands that someone portray the child before burying
188
00:17:47.480 --> 00:17:53.880
her. She wants someone to make
a painting of her. Such is his
189
00:17:53.960 --> 00:17:59.200
despair, which does not allow the
creature to be buried until this is done.
190
00:17:59.440 --> 00:18:03.599
A painter or William Henry hull would
be in charge of making the first
191
00:18:04.519 --> 00:18:08.240
sketch of the girl' s body. Of course, he does not draw
192
00:18:08.240 --> 00:18:11.480
it in the state in which he
was on the ladder, much less,
193
00:18:11.079 --> 00:18:15.839
but from the image of the dead
girl, he draws a beautiful creature,
194
00:18:15.400 --> 00:18:22.519
standing with his little dress, with
his ball in his hand. After only
195
00:18:22.599 --> 00:18:27.119
one creature she is buried at her
place of origin about four hundred and fifty
196
00:18:27.119 --> 00:18:33.799
miles from Austin. Senator Temple would
go through a lot of bad time.
197
00:18:33.839 --> 00:18:38.319
In fact, he would die very
young, twenty years after Samantha' s
198
00:18:38.319 --> 00:18:44.440
death, being a drunk man,
still litigating, still being a character in
199
00:18:44.519 --> 00:18:49.799
the law. He dies, probably
because of the galloping alcoholism he was suffering
200
00:18:49.799 --> 00:18:57.680
from. But painting, painting becomes
an interesting piece of this story, because
201
00:18:57.759 --> 00:19:07.720
the painting that was entrusted to William
Henry Hell was never collected. Not the
202
00:19:07.759 --> 00:19:11.720
senator was so wrecked that his wife
didn' t come back for her.
203
00:19:11.839 --> 00:19:18.200
Nor was the painting paid for given
to Colonel Briskil, who would pay his
204
00:19:18.240 --> 00:19:25.559
respects to the Senator, hanging the
image on the stairs. There at the
205
00:19:25.640 --> 00:19:30.480
center of the stairway, where the
two sections converge. The painting, however,
206
00:19:30.839 --> 00:19:37.720
would take on certain peculiar attributes.
From the very beginning she would often
207
00:19:37.720 --> 00:19:45.000
fall from her place constantly, so
she had to be moved some time later,
208
00:19:45.440 --> 00:19:52.200
Senator Houston' s widow would give
the hotel a portrait of her own
209
00:19:52.440 --> 00:19:57.279
tempo leah and her so that they
would be placed together with the portrait of
210
00:19:59.200 --> 00:20:00.200
the girl n n n e r
r or for some error of fate.
211
00:20:00.240 --> 00:20:07.279
And, according to the accounts,
the portraits were placed in separate places and
212
00:20:07.359 --> 00:20:11.440
constantly fell to the floor, until
someone had the good idea of putting them
213
00:20:11.440 --> 00:20:15.200
together. Note that for long periods
of time, the hotel was closed after
214
00:20:15.319 --> 00:20:19.680
the sale of the same, then
in renovations, in periods where there were
215
00:20:19.720 --> 00:20:25.839
no customers, etc. And they
always found the two portraits of Dad and
216
00:20:26.160 --> 00:20:30.119
Mom Houston fallen. When it finally
comes in the remodeling, they put us
217
00:20:30.160 --> 00:20:37.160
in one place and you' ll
wonder what' s deserted from the ghostly
218
00:20:37.200 --> 00:20:38.000
portrait or the cursed portrait. Okay, we' re on our way.
219
00:20:38.880 --> 00:20:45.880
Little Samantha' s image is no
longer in the hotel. For some time
220
00:20:45.920 --> 00:20:52.720
the image was in the old building
at the front. After that, for
221
00:20:53.319 --> 00:21:00.359
some strange reason, images of the
Houston family were assaulted, damaged. Some
222
00:21:00.440 --> 00:21:06.319
vandal damaged them early in the 20th
century. Probably in some Texan government-
223
00:21:06.519 --> 00:21:11.480
related vendetta something similar and the images
were removed and replaced by other pictures.
224
00:21:12.839 --> 00:21:18.160
However, Samantha' s portrait would
be replaced by an image that resembled the
225
00:21:18.759 --> 00:21:23.240
original painting, of which it is
not known exactly where it is. The
226
00:21:23.279 --> 00:21:30.559
painting that replaced Samantha' s image
was a replica, a well- known
227
00:21:32.160 --> 00:21:36.200
replica of a work by a British
author. The work is known as Lope
228
00:21:36.279 --> 00:21:41.519
Letters Love Letters and is a work
by the English painter Charles Treborg Garland.
229
00:21:41.599 --> 00:21:45.799
The play was more or less made
at the same time as Samantha died in
230
00:21:45.839 --> 00:21:48.480
that place. However, what is
there is a replica, It is a
231
00:21:48.559 --> 00:21:56.000
copy made long after by Richard King
in the seventies However, since always that
232
00:21:56.000 --> 00:22:03.160
picture has given many problems. People
who approach and see it feel a strange
233
00:22:03.279 --> 00:22:07.799
nervousness. Every time he has been
changed from the place, the painting falls
234
00:22:10.160 --> 00:22:15.680
down and it is told that those
who put sweets on their feet on a
235
00:22:15.720 --> 00:22:17.400
table the next day were no longer
there. That' s an urban legend.
236
00:22:17.400 --> 00:22:18.880
Actually, the painting is hanging in
a hallway and has never had a
237
00:22:18.920 --> 00:22:23.039
little table, but many people have
been uncomfortable with this picture when they stay
238
00:22:23.119 --> 00:22:27.680
looking at it. They feel dizzy, they feel uncomfortable. But it'
239
00:22:27.720 --> 00:22:33.279
s not just the painting. The
people who have worked at the hotel have
240
00:22:33.319 --> 00:22:37.839
always felt, as the night falls
close to one in the morning, the
241
00:22:37.880 --> 00:22:44.640
noise of a boy playing a girl
is heard how he runs precisely there near
242
00:22:45.200 --> 00:22:48.759
the old staircase, in the main
access, in the old building, in
243
00:22:48.759 --> 00:22:55.039
the building of Driskel, not in
the enlargement. The picture is currently in
244
00:22:55.079 --> 00:22:57.960
the extension, in the annex,
on the fiveth floor, in the old
245
00:22:59.079 --> 00:23:00.680
building. It' s where they
hear each other. In the voices there
246
00:23:00.720 --> 00:23:04.960
is a relationship in this. Some
believe that the girl is attached to her
247
00:23:06.000 --> 00:23:10.440
painting, that she was originally on
the ladder and that she has followed it
248
00:23:10.480 --> 00:23:12.240
even when it is a lithography,
that is, an impression. It'
249
00:23:12.319 --> 00:23:17.400
s not an original. For others. What' s in the picture is
250
00:23:17.480 --> 00:23:19.680
some kind of curse. It'
s a cursed picture like many others.
251
00:23:21.000 --> 00:23:26.200
However, the strongest part of this
Samantha story is the ghost. As late
252
00:23:26.359 --> 00:23:30.839
as two thousand five, two thousand
six, two thousand eight, security guards
253
00:23:30.839 --> 00:23:37.400
have reported entry in the morning hearing
the laughter of a little girl or boy
254
00:23:37.480 --> 00:23:42.519
playing in this place. Even though
they know there' s no one,
255
00:23:42.759 --> 00:23:45.960
even when you can see there'
s no one in the security cameras,
256
00:23:47.279 --> 00:23:51.240
you can hear this. What has
also been reported by visitors is that when
257
00:23:51.359 --> 00:23:55.759
they enter the night, when they
return to their rooms and have been lucky
258
00:23:55.839 --> 00:23:59.799
enough to be touched by the old
rooms in the first building, they come
259
00:23:59.839 --> 00:24:03.519
to hear that, they come to
hear the laughter of a creature. But
260
00:24:03.559 --> 00:24:07.000
when you open the room door to
see who' s making a fuss,
261
00:24:07.240 --> 00:24:11.000
there' s nothing. The corridors
are very long, so it would be
262
00:24:11.039 --> 00:24:15.000
hard to hide and if someone closes
a door, it would be heard.
263
00:24:17.000 --> 00:24:19.880
It' s funny, but for
many, Samantha, she' s never
264
00:24:19.880 --> 00:24:25.319
gone. He' s still there, but he' s not the only
265
00:24:25.319 --> 00:24:29.240
person still there. Another of the
ghosts that has been pointed out is Driskie
266
00:24:29.319 --> 00:24:33.160
himself. Some say that, in
fact, the appearance that Johnet Napolitano saw,
267
00:24:33.880 --> 00:24:37.359
the story with which he started the
program, is none other than the
268
00:24:37.440 --> 00:24:41.000
jessiet Riskill himself, who, by
the way, was known to be very
269
00:24:41.039 --> 00:24:51.680
fond of the company of very varied
ladies and who happened to love that room.
270
00:24:52.319 --> 00:24:56.319
But, in case this isn'
t enough, there' s Miss
271
00:24:56.400 --> 00:25:00.920
Bridges' case. Miss Bridgers was
in charge of the counter in the 1930s.
272
00:25:04.319 --> 00:25:08.319
This woman was the one who received
the visitors, a very Victorian woman,
273
00:25:08.920 --> 00:25:15.720
still wearing her dress to the old
very conservative, very own who practically
274
00:25:15.759 --> 00:25:22.079
lived there. And not only that, but he spent many years working there.
275
00:25:23.519 --> 00:25:27.720
She was in charge of receiving people, of receiving special guests, even
276
00:25:27.799 --> 00:25:33.920
accompanying them to their rooms, of
caring for them in a well- known
277
00:25:33.960 --> 00:25:41.200
person controlled the service people. He
saw that everything was fine in one of
278
00:25:41.200 --> 00:25:48.160
those efficient people attached to his post
always attentively the old desk at the reception
279
00:25:48.200 --> 00:25:52.000
is no longer there. In one
of the renovations of the sixties it was
280
00:25:52.039 --> 00:25:56.960
replaced and is no longer there.
However, for years many people have seen
281
00:25:57.079 --> 00:26:04.839
an older woman of unusual appearance next
to the flowers on the access. In
282
00:26:04.920 --> 00:26:08.440
this place. There are usually flowers
adorning the entrance and they usually see it
283
00:26:08.440 --> 00:26:12.039
there. But when she' s
not there, they know she' s
284
00:26:12.119 --> 00:26:19.240
out there because of the smell of
Mrs Bridges, she always loved having fresh
285
00:26:19.359 --> 00:26:23.000
flowers at the entrance to the building. It was a touch of courtesy and
286
00:26:23.720 --> 00:26:30.119
when it appears, it appears accompanied
by a strong smell of fresh roses.
287
00:26:30.359 --> 00:26:34.799
It has been seen many times and
has been seen as late as the two
288
00:26:34.880 --> 00:26:41.680
thousand years. There are many people
who assure it after this. There are
289
00:26:41.680 --> 00:26:48.519
others, such as the case of
Peter Loles. Mr Peter Lo Lees was
290
00:26:48.640 --> 00:26:55.039
a permanent guest of the Driskie.
This man arrived there in a thousand eight
291
00:26:55.079 --> 00:26:59.119
hundred and eighty- eight, shortly
before Colonel Briskil himself closed it and sold
292
00:26:59.160 --> 00:27:03.559
it. But, as he had
made an advance payment, he stayed at
293
00:27:03.640 --> 00:27:07.880
the hotel even though there were no
other guests. He had his own room
294
00:27:08.559 --> 00:27:14.480
and his own key to entering the
building. The last night he spent at
295
00:27:14.519 --> 00:27:18.000
the hotel was in a thousand nine
hundred and sixteen. Almost thirty years,
296
00:27:18.039 --> 00:27:22.359
twenty- eight years in which he
stayed there. There would be remodeling or
297
00:27:22.359 --> 00:27:26.200
not. There would have been remodeling, there would be customers, there would
298
00:27:26.279 --> 00:27:29.000
be service, it didn' t
matter to him it was there. It
299
00:27:29.039 --> 00:27:37.920
has been seen many times many times. He loved checking his watch for good
300
00:27:37.079 --> 00:27:44.000
on time. For years you'
ve seen a gentleman who suddenly walks down
301
00:27:44.079 --> 00:27:49.119
a corridor, stops taking out a
watch from those little chain that were carried
302
00:27:49.359 --> 00:27:56.519
in the bag of the vest.
Check the time, look, and while
303
00:27:56.599 --> 00:28:03.839
you realize there' s someone watching
you, you disappear Mr Loles is an
304
00:28:03.920 --> 00:28:07.319
entire institution like a ghost in this
building. Practically any waitress. Any employee
305
00:28:07.759 --> 00:28:11.799
who was there during the night has
come to see numerous customers as well.
306
00:28:12.640 --> 00:28:17.799
But the problem with the hotel is
that, well, there are those who
307
00:28:17.920 --> 00:28:21.799
go specifically to live the experience of
meeting a ghost and there are those who
308
00:28:21.799 --> 00:28:27.480
did not know it and carry a
tremendous surprise, because this is frequent and,
309
00:28:29.279 --> 00:28:33.039
for example, in the annex at
the back, which are thirteen levels,
310
00:28:33.200 --> 00:28:37.160
there are also a number of tremendous
stories and is that this site is
311
00:28:37.160 --> 00:28:42.400
also marked. In nineteen hundred and
forty, the hotel was running fullness,
312
00:28:44.559 --> 00:28:47.680
it was at a great moment,
the city was growing. Everything was fine
313
00:28:47.759 --> 00:28:53.960
and in the halls of the old
building were celebrated weddings of bachelorettes, bachelors.
314
00:28:56.200 --> 00:29:00.000
There were great dances, celebrations,
commitments. When they were a compromise,
315
00:29:00.000 --> 00:29:06.480
there was a party, tremendous and
piano orchestra, exuberant meals, beautiful
316
00:29:06.559 --> 00:29:11.960
things. The fact is that in
nineteen hundred and forty, in the middle
317
00:29:11.000 --> 00:29:15.240
of World War II, when the
war was over, a Texan couple is
318
00:29:15.279 --> 00:29:21.680
engaged and is going to marry.
The bride' s father pays for the
319
00:29:21.680 --> 00:29:26.880
hotel, pays for the party.
The most elegant service that could be a
320
00:29:27.000 --> 00:29:30.680
great dinner is going to serve at
all luxury. It separates one of the
321
00:29:30.720 --> 00:29:37.759
best suites. Unfortunately they can'
t in the old building, so they
322
00:29:37.839 --> 00:29:42.400
' re assigned. The room on
the pin fifth floor of the Annex is
323
00:29:42.440 --> 00:29:45.759
a special room with a beautiful tub. It' s a bridal room.
324
00:29:47.759 --> 00:29:55.640
Everything' s perfect, except the
wedding day, the groom doesn' t
325
00:29:55.720 --> 00:29:59.920
show up and he' s never
gonna make it. He sent a missive
326
00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:03.440
ca cancelling the engagement for some reason
that the guy didn' t explain.
327
00:30:04.000 --> 00:30:11.200
He gave up marrying that young woman
who, desperate to find out, rushes
328
00:30:11.240 --> 00:30:18.640
up to her room and locks herself
in while everything was chaos in the living
329
00:30:18.640 --> 00:30:22.400
room, and with guests, and
everything ready, ready to eat. Well,
330
00:30:22.640 --> 00:30:25.079
dinner is served because people have already
arrived and when they are distracted when
331
00:30:25.200 --> 00:30:29.839
they go to the room to look
for the young woman, they find her
332
00:30:29.839 --> 00:30:34.240
dead. The girl had hung herself
from a pipe in one of the dressing
333
00:30:34.279 --> 00:30:37.599
rooms, in one of the closetts, had put something around her neck and
334
00:30:37.599 --> 00:30:42.359
had taken her life dressed as a
bride. From that moment on, so
335
00:30:44.400 --> 00:30:48.079
many people have seen the ghostly bride, especially when there is going to be
336
00:30:48.119 --> 00:30:53.920
a wedding party. There are those
who have seen a woman dressed in white
337
00:30:56.000 --> 00:30:59.480
walking in the path of the area
of the annex of the fifth floor,
338
00:30:59.559 --> 00:31:02.200
to the party hall that is in
the old building. They' ve seen
339
00:31:02.240 --> 00:31:08.200
her walking like that to crash into
a wall and disappear, to walk to
340
00:31:08.240 --> 00:31:14.599
a door that never opens and disappears
to be behind someone. This situation has
341
00:31:14.640 --> 00:31:18.559
sometimes become a little disturbing, because
the ghostly bride of the Triskill, especially
342
00:31:18.240 --> 00:31:22.039
the one in room five hundred twenty- five, which is not the only
343
00:31:23.240 --> 00:31:30.640
one, usually has the aim of
standing behind people. Those couples who are
344
00:31:30.799 --> 00:31:34.319
romantically going to spend their honeymoon at
the driskil or the wedding night while trying
345
00:31:34.400 --> 00:31:41.440
to open the door suddenly realize that
behind them is the ghostly bride. In
346
00:31:41.519 --> 00:31:45.599
the middle of the night more than
one has run away believe me. And
347
00:31:45.680 --> 00:31:48.880
that' s not that weird either, because suddenly, when the doorbell rings
348
00:31:48.920 --> 00:31:52.880
at the reception and someone answers if
I tell me room, I don'
349
00:31:52.880 --> 00:31:55.519
t know what just happened to me. It' s to report a ghost.
350
00:31:56.119 --> 00:31:59.799
They' re used to it.
They know how to deal with that,
351
00:32:00.160 --> 00:32:02.240
but she' s not the only
ghost bride. In nine hundred and
352
00:32:02.240 --> 00:32:08.880
ninety, a young woman from Houston' s high society in Texas is about
353
00:32:08.920 --> 00:32:13.759
to marry. Everything' s settled, everything' s ready. One of
354
00:32:13.759 --> 00:32:17.759
those great spectacular parties. The party
is going to be in Houston, not
355
00:32:17.799 --> 00:32:24.079
in Austen, but everything is prepared
and exactly the same way as the first
356
00:32:24.119 --> 00:32:30.039
case, suddenly the groom decides to
cancel the wedding arguing that she had failed
357
00:32:30.119 --> 00:32:32.480
her that the young woman had walked. That' s where he made a
358
00:32:32.480 --> 00:32:37.559
story. The guy, so he
cancels the wedding. The young woman,
359
00:32:38.720 --> 00:32:44.839
stripped of her face, has one
last resort. Before the wedding was cancelled,
360
00:32:45.039 --> 00:32:49.559
the groom had given her a credit
card to make some purchases for the
361
00:32:49.599 --> 00:32:55.000
party. So, armed with that
genenédito card, this young lady is moving
362
00:32:55.039 --> 00:33:01.039
to Houston. He stays at the
Thriski Hotel, in one of the rooms
363
00:33:01.559 --> 00:33:07.039
of his choice, the three,
two, nine and from that moment on
364
00:33:07.119 --> 00:33:12.680
he is dedicated to shopping Throughout a
week. Every day he goes and buys
365
00:33:12.799 --> 00:33:20.680
things. He arrives with bags full
of his hands in his room. However,
366
00:33:21.039 --> 00:33:24.079
after a week, suddenly no one
else sees her and it would not
367
00:33:24.119 --> 00:33:30.480
be until three days after they stopped
seeing her. For the last time someone
368
00:33:30.559 --> 00:33:35.839
arrives and with the master key opens
the door to find a terrible scene in
369
00:33:35.880 --> 00:33:42.359
the bathtub of the room. The
body of the young woman who took her
370
00:33:42.400 --> 00:33:46.000
life by shooting herself in the abdomen. The girl has taken a gun,
371
00:33:46.599 --> 00:33:51.160
put on a pillow at the height
of her abdomen and shot herself taking her
372
00:33:51.200 --> 00:33:58.759
life. It collects all that.
The hundreds of packages in the room are
373
00:33:58.759 --> 00:34:02.279
sent to this girl' s family. The room closes, of course,
374
00:34:02.720 --> 00:34:07.039
for some time, but when it
opens again, things get very complicated,
375
00:34:07.199 --> 00:34:12.519
because throughout the same night it can
appear several times, especially if those who
376
00:34:12.559 --> 00:34:19.599
are there are couples of newlywed doors
that are whipped, kisses that are heard
377
00:34:19.639 --> 00:34:25.920
as if someone were kissing, like
a memory of a pleasant moment. The
378
00:34:25.920 --> 00:34:31.000
curtains open, the people who are
sleeping are awakened by something that moves them.
379
00:34:31.920 --> 00:34:38.079
The front door opens and clear,
the laughter, the laughter of the
380
00:34:38.119 --> 00:34:57.719
dead bride that is still heard today
and you would think who lightning wants to
381
00:34:57.760 --> 00:35:00.559
stay there. Well, it'
s a beautiful hotel. It has these
382
00:35:00.599 --> 00:35:06.920
beautiful corridors, full of images,
full of ornaments. The bar is spectacular,
383
00:35:07.039 --> 00:35:14.519
it eats magnificently and the ghosts that
live there are not at all aggressive.
384
00:35:15.079 --> 00:35:19.440
They just like to play a joke. The building, early in the
385
00:35:19.639 --> 00:35:23.719
21st century, is a 100 percent
tobacco- free place, completely forbidden to
386
00:35:23.800 --> 00:35:28.960
smoke. There' s a fine
of several hundred dollars or thousands of dollars
387
00:35:29.000 --> 00:35:31.000
for whoever smokes inside. And yet, it is not so rare that,
388
00:35:31.559 --> 00:35:36.159
as you walk through one of the
corridors of the old building, suddenly you
389
00:35:36.239 --> 00:35:42.599
feel a penetrating smell of strong tobacco, strong, not cigarette tobacco, but
390
00:35:42.719 --> 00:35:49.519
something else very strong. Of course, it' s not that someone is
391
00:35:50.280 --> 00:35:53.679
smoking, but someone who was there
a long time ago is still walking.
392
00:35:54.239 --> 00:35:58.920
Some say it' s Colonel Driskie
himself, some say it can be any
393
00:35:58.960 --> 00:36:02.079
other number of people keep in mind
that in there, while playing a leisure
394
00:36:02.159 --> 00:36:10.559
hand, someone killed someone that simple
still in hostile territory back then. But
395
00:36:10.599 --> 00:36:14.880
one of the places that has attracted
the most attention because of the rare effect
396
00:36:14.960 --> 00:36:19.840
it has is the Maximilian Hall.
There' s a story behind it.
397
00:36:20.920 --> 00:36:28.280
This beautiful living room has eight mirrors. The eight mirrors were manufactured in Europe.
398
00:36:28.639 --> 00:36:34.000
They have a gold- lined,
laminated frame and are of exceptional quality.
399
00:36:35.079 --> 00:36:38.079
They are distributed in such a way
that when one separates and looks at
400
00:36:38.239 --> 00:36:44.639
one of the mirrors, the infinite
effect is immediately generated, since one is
401
00:36:44.679 --> 00:36:49.559
seeing this mirror and the one behind
it is placed in the same direction,
402
00:36:49.760 --> 00:36:54.400
reflects this one and thus mutually generates
an infinite string of images. The sensation
403
00:36:54.440 --> 00:36:59.960
it causes, moreover, is a
sense of sadness, a sense of abandonment,
404
00:37:00.639 --> 00:37:05.239
of loneliness. Some even point out
that it can be a sense of
405
00:37:05.320 --> 00:37:09.159
madness and that these mirrors have a
terrible history behind them. History has to
406
00:37:09.199 --> 00:37:13.960
do with Mexico. That' s
why it' s called the Maximilian Hall.
407
00:37:14.800 --> 00:37:22.360
In Mexico, about one thousand eight
hundred and sixty- sixteen, there
408
00:37:22.840 --> 00:37:27.280
was an emperor of Austrian origin.
It is not the subject of this long
409
00:37:27.280 --> 00:37:30.719
programme. The fact is that Maximilian
of Habsburg was the Mexican emperor. A
410
00:37:30.840 --> 00:37:37.119
stitch that had been thrown by a
group of Mexicans at the time, at
411
00:37:37.599 --> 00:37:42.559
the very moment, tense the country
was very confronted, there were war actions.
412
00:37:42.639 --> 00:37:45.639
The fact is that this man arrives
believing that he will be the great
413
00:37:45.719 --> 00:37:52.400
emperor supported by France, but the
moment the French troops withdraw, he remains
414
00:37:52.559 --> 00:38:00.760
alone and is captured and sentenced to
death. The Mexican President, Benito Juárez,
415
00:38:00.199 --> 00:38:07.440
is the one who regains power and
controls the government and in one thousand
416
00:38:07.519 --> 00:38:13.239
eight hundred and sixty- seven,
Maximilian is executed, shot, his wife
417
00:38:13.239 --> 00:38:19.280
had been sent to Europe with several
commissions, among others. While in Europe,
418
00:38:19.360 --> 00:38:23.559
he had ordered the manufacture of the
eight mirrors to decorate the palace.
419
00:38:23.800 --> 00:38:30.760
In Mexico, the mirrors would be
finished, paid for and shipped by boat,
420
00:38:30.559 --> 00:38:34.920
but they would arrive in New Orleans, in the United States, where
421
00:38:34.920 --> 00:38:39.320
they would be detained. There was
no more Mexican empire. Maximilian had been
422
00:38:39.360 --> 00:38:45.599
executed. His wife, Carlota,
was practically out of her mind in Europe.
423
00:38:45.280 --> 00:38:49.000
Those who claim she went crazy about
the husband' s death. Some
424
00:38:49.079 --> 00:38:53.079
claim she was mentally ill because of
a toxin she had consumed in Mexico as
425
00:38:53.119 --> 00:38:59.159
part of an alleged treatment for infertility. Well, there' s a whole
426
00:38:59.199 --> 00:39:02.599
myth about another program. The fact
is that Carlota is in Europe and there
427
00:39:02.639 --> 00:39:07.280
she stays, she no longer returns
to Mexico and her mirrors, these eight
428
00:39:07.440 --> 00:39:14.320
beautiful and very fine mirrors, stay
for a long time stored in a winery
429
00:39:14.400 --> 00:39:22.400
in New Orleans, until finally someone
sells them and they are bought and installed
430
00:39:22.440 --> 00:39:28.480
in the thirties of the twentieth century
at the Whiskel Hotel where the Maximilian salon
431
00:39:28.599 --> 00:39:35.679
is built, because the mirrors had
been manufactured with that idea. From that
432
00:39:35.719 --> 00:39:38.719
moment on, this space has been
a very rare place. The sensations that
433
00:39:38.800 --> 00:39:44.679
are described are described as deep sadness. Not always and not all people,
434
00:39:45.199 --> 00:39:49.639
not all who are there, perceive
this, but those who are a little
435
00:39:49.679 --> 00:39:54.119
more sensitive can feel very uncomfortable.
So this is a place that has everything,
436
00:39:54.320 --> 00:40:00.360
from the ghost of the child,
the cursed picture, which causes dizziness
437
00:40:00.440 --> 00:40:04.960
and very rare sensations and which is
believed to be related to the ghost of
438
00:40:04.960 --> 00:40:09.079
the girl who sees herself reflected in
this image, the ghost of Mr Lowles,
439
00:40:09.599 --> 00:40:15.400
the ghost of Mrs Bridges, the
ghost of Jessie Dris Hill himself and
440
00:40:15.519 --> 00:40:22.840
the suicide brides. A perfect cocktail
in a beautiful building. He' s
441
00:40:22.880 --> 00:40:28.760
active today. If you want to
stay there it can be clear if it
442
00:40:28.960 --> 00:40:31.000
has value, because if you touch
room five hundred twenty- five, it
443
00:40:31.000 --> 00:40:36.280
is very likely that, in the
middle of the morning, they knock at
444
00:40:36.320 --> 00:40:42.360
your door loudly, as if they
wanted to knock it down, as if
445
00:40:42.360 --> 00:40:50.239
they wanted to open it, because
they know that someone inside has just hanged
446
00:40:50.239 --> 00:40:50.239
themselves but when you open the door
outside, this long corridor is completely empty.
447
00:40:51.760 --> 00:40:54.440
Don' t worry. If you
call the reception desk and there'
448
00:40:54.480 --> 00:41:00.000
s some room available, they'
ll probably give you access and if there
449
00:41:00.239 --> 00:41:02.639
isn' t, they' ll
probably give you your money back, because
450
00:41:02.760 --> 00:41:24.119
they know that there are people who
don' t like ghosts showing up half
451
00:41:24.199 --> 00:41:28.280
the night and now, if I
may, let' s say hello.
452
00:41:28.840 --> 00:41:32.639
We want to greet Patti Chuchuca,

R
1
00:00:00.320 --> 00:00:05.879
He likes to travel, he likes
to go to different places or to stay
2
00:00:05.879 --> 00:00:11.000
in a hotel, for example,
that that hotel offers him a nice room,
3
00:00:11.800 --> 00:00:16.280
but not any room of lines,
but something that you have love,
4
00:00:16.559 --> 00:00:20.359
that the building is nice, that
he eats well, that there are wide
5
00:00:20.440 --> 00:00:27.480
spaces, that there are these beautiful
stairs, that there are many ornaments,
6
00:00:27.760 --> 00:00:31.440
things to see we are going to
have his own ghosts and his own stories.
7
00:00:33.000 --> 00:00:36.399
If you like tonight, we'
re going to tell you about one
8
00:00:36.479 --> 00:00:42.640
of those hotels where staying means more
than just spending the night. The same
9
00:00:47.280 --> 00:01:00.799
dark side accounts for strange beings,
inexplicable events, diversified stories that otherlinds prefer
10
00:01:00.159 --> 00:01:17.359
ignorant. Don let me bring it
back a little in time. It is
11
00:01:17.480 --> 00:01:23.799
in nineteen hundred and ninety- two
and the American rock band Concrey Blond has
12
00:01:23.920 --> 00:01:30.760
performed in the Texan city of Austin
a tremendous concert. This group in those
13
00:01:30.840 --> 00:01:38.799
years used to give very energetic concerts, full of intensity. Vocalist Johnette Napolitano
14
00:01:38.840 --> 00:01:46.120
had a spectacular voice and continues to
have it. But in the concerts his
15
00:01:46.159 --> 00:01:51.200
performance was to jump, dance,
sing, scream for a while, so
16
00:01:51.239 --> 00:02:00.280
normally, after a long day,
he would end up exhausted at the end
17
00:02:00.280 --> 00:02:06.799
of the day. In Austin and
as part of his whole package of activities,
18
00:02:06.879 --> 00:02:12.039
he is assigned a room in a
downtown hotel. It' s an
19
00:02:12.039 --> 00:02:15.360
old hotel, but it' s
a very special hotel, it' s
20
00:02:15.439 --> 00:02:17.400
a very dear hotel for the city. So you don' t think twice
21
00:02:17.400 --> 00:02:22.639
about it You don' t know
anything about this place It' s really
22
00:02:22.639 --> 00:02:23.879
not something you' re worried about. When he arrives, the only thing
23
00:02:23.960 --> 00:02:28.400
he realizes is that the rooms are
relatively small. But that' s very
24
00:02:28.400 --> 00:02:37.759
good, because it' s comfortable, it' s practical and it has
25
00:02:37.840 --> 00:02:43.400
this old taste like sitting in a
rocking chair with a very old blanket,
26
00:02:43.400 --> 00:02:46.759
very tasty. The rest of the
equipment is distributed in different places. She
27
00:02:46.840 --> 00:02:53.199
stays in this really weird room.
He loves it in the old part of
28
00:02:53.280 --> 00:02:58.000
the hotel. After a while,
already when the staff retires from some things
29
00:02:58.000 --> 00:03:00.919
that has to see if they close
their pero decides to take a good bath,
30
00:03:01.360 --> 00:03:07.159
it turns out that the room has
a beautiful tub. It' s
31
00:03:07.199 --> 00:03:12.000
a room that' s in the
corner, on the top level of the
32
00:03:12.120 --> 00:03:16.159
building, and it' s got
a tub of those strange irons. You
33
00:03:16.280 --> 00:03:23.400
can' t help it by taking
a good bath, warm, steamy,
34
00:03:23.400 --> 00:03:29.039
relaxing. When she finishes bathing,
she wraps herself in a towel with a
35
00:03:29.159 --> 00:03:34.960
bathing gown that says here or the
name and all that. The problem is
36
00:03:34.960 --> 00:03:38.159
that when you go out when you
open the bathroom door, while you are
37
00:03:38.240 --> 00:03:43.280
rubbing with a towel on your head
and suddenly move as you turn your view
38
00:03:43.319 --> 00:03:46.120
to the left. There, by
the window, keep in mind that it
39
00:03:46.159 --> 00:03:52.400
must be more than one in the
morning. By the window there' s
40
00:03:52.439 --> 00:03:55.719
a gentleman, there' s a
man standing in the window looking out.
41
00:03:57.080 --> 00:04:00.800
He' s a guy wearing a
Texan hat, he' s a cowboy.
42
00:04:01.520 --> 00:04:05.240
You can see the figure of this
guy. There she gets shocked and
43
00:04:05.280 --> 00:04:11.919
about to scream and start asking for
help. What the hell is a guy
44
00:04:11.919 --> 00:04:15.400
doing in his room, but when
she' s about to throw the towel
45
00:04:15.719 --> 00:04:20.759
on the floor and run away screaming, that silhouette turns around gently as if
46
00:04:20.800 --> 00:04:24.920
to look at her. But there
is nothing to see, because at the
47
00:04:24.959 --> 00:04:31.319
same time that it makes this movement
in the image, it dissolves in the
48
00:04:33.079 --> 00:04:39.480
air and disappears the singer. This
woman would be very impressed with that temperament
49
00:04:39.560 --> 00:04:45.160
to raise an audience of forty-
zero spectators and put them to frantic dance
50
00:04:45.279 --> 00:04:48.920
with force. She' s been
impressed, but that same force keeps her
51
00:04:49.000 --> 00:04:55.639
from running away. She just gets
really surprised. She would spend the rest
52
00:04:55.639 --> 00:05:01.519
of the night very restless and,
as told in the morning, not only
53
00:05:01.560 --> 00:05:10.319
had she been restless, but she
had even written a song dedicated to the
54
00:05:10.360 --> 00:05:15.079
ghost cowboy in the room, and
it is that the beloved singer johnet Napolitano
55
00:05:15.600 --> 00:05:24.160
had stayed, according to legend,
at the Driskel Hotel in Austin, Texas,
56
00:05:24.399 --> 00:05:29.920
in the United States of America,
a hotel that is famous for being
57
00:05:29.959 --> 00:05:32.839
one of the most haunted in the
world or, at least, of those
58
00:05:32.879 --> 00:05:39.720
with the greatest paranormal presence ever known, would not be the only one.
59
00:05:40.759 --> 00:05:46.000
The singer of the group Euritmix,
who would also give a presentation in the
60
00:05:46.000 --> 00:05:51.079
Austin area, would live something similar
having a character who also smelled of tobacco
61
00:05:51.120 --> 00:05:56.879
in a building where smoking was forbidden. The fact is, the site has
62
00:05:56.920 --> 00:06:03.519
a great story. The building was
built casually, not so long ago.
63
00:06:03.560 --> 00:06:06.879
The land was bought in one thousand
eight hundred and eighty- four, so
64
00:06:08.000 --> 00:06:13.319
it must be about one hundred and
thirty- something years old, but it
65
00:06:13.319 --> 00:06:16.079
is a very particular building. The
guy who built it was Colonel Jesse Driskel.
66
00:06:18.000 --> 00:06:24.199
Triskile wasn' t just some guy. This man had made his fortune
67
00:06:25.079 --> 00:06:30.879
by selling meat to the soldiers,
both Confederate and Union, depending on those
68
00:06:30.959 --> 00:06:34.600
who walked where the cattle were.
He sold him to the highest bidder,
69
00:06:35.560 --> 00:06:39.920
so he wasn' t a man
of strong convictions, he was a businessman,
70
00:06:43.120 --> 00:06:46.720
a farmman. His job was not
to raise cattle, but to buy
71
00:06:46.800 --> 00:06:54.959
them from those who raised them and
carry massive prayers wherever they needed. It
72
00:06:55.040 --> 00:07:00.600
was the time of the bulldozers,
of the cowboys who carried great acts of
73
00:07:00.600 --> 00:07:03.959
cattle. That was Driskild' s
business. Of course in the war.
74
00:07:04.319 --> 00:07:10.920
Many people died in the secession war, the American civil war. But in
75
00:07:10.959 --> 00:07:14.519
reality, he did very well with
that, because he sold his cattle to
76
00:07:14.600 --> 00:07:19.519
whoever bought them. The fact is, he also had another lot of business
77
00:07:19.600 --> 00:07:25.199
and he was a man very much
given to three things, the drink,
78
00:07:25.879 --> 00:07:30.079
the game and, of course,
the ladies. When, being a little
79
00:07:30.120 --> 00:07:33.399
older man, he decides to do
something with all the money he has instead
80
00:07:33.480 --> 00:07:36.680
of keeping it in store, what
he thinks is to build a hotel in
81
00:07:36.879 --> 00:07:42.680
Austin. Casually, at that time
Austin was not the big city, but
82
00:07:42.720 --> 00:07:46.560
rather a town, a dusty town
with dirt streets where people rode on horseback.
83
00:07:48.519 --> 00:07:53.439
There was no electrical energy, of
course, there were no cars,
84
00:07:54.079 --> 00:07:58.120
there was nothing yet. If only
there was a train station and a lot
85
00:07:58.120 --> 00:08:03.519
of dust. But Colonel Chriskile hires
a Texas architect to design that and designs
86
00:08:03.600 --> 00:08:13.639
an incredibly detailed building for him.
The original building had three entrances, depending
87
00:08:13.000 --> 00:08:20.000
on the address. Each entrance had
a function and each one had precious columns
88
00:08:20.319 --> 00:08:24.360
that raised the porch. It was
a relatively small building. Four floors,
89
00:08:24.680 --> 00:08:31.439
with a beautiful central staircase, with
marble, with lots of wooden ornaments.
90
00:08:31.600 --> 00:08:39.399
The interior ornamentation was impressive. The
spaces of the first Riskield were tremendous.
91
00:08:39.799 --> 00:08:43.440
On the second floor was the food
area, there was the dance hall.
92
00:08:45.320 --> 00:08:50.720
In the lower part was the bar, the hall area and some other things
93
00:08:50.759 --> 00:08:56.039
that could be used, such as
the barbershop. This building was thought of
94
00:08:56.080 --> 00:08:58.879
as far away, west was very
elegant for the time. Of course,
95
00:09:00.440 --> 00:09:07.080
they had things like gas lighting.
The long inner corridors were lit with gas
96
00:09:07.120 --> 00:09:13.840
lamps, but the site was filled
with very rough people, cowboys and mules.
97
00:09:15.799 --> 00:09:18.600
So it wasn' t strange that
there were bullets in there, too.
98
00:09:18.080 --> 00:09:20.960
Although the weapons were requested to be
left at the reception, there were
99
00:09:20.960 --> 00:09:28.159
also shots and another very peculiar detail. Since the hotel was known to be
100
00:09:28.279 --> 00:09:35.440
full of very rough people. Thick- mouthed drunk smoker. The ladies were
101
00:09:35.440 --> 00:09:39.840
coming in through a different door.
It was known that ladies would also arrive
102
00:09:39.840 --> 00:09:45.120
and that they would not be exposed
to obscene language and you were and did
103
00:09:45.200 --> 00:09:48.639
not have to be contaminated with tobacco. They had their own entrance that led
104
00:09:48.720 --> 00:09:54.519
them straight to the rooms. Little
detail of gallantry, but not only that.
105
00:09:54.799 --> 00:09:58.840
It also worked very well because Mr
Triskill loved to be visited by Ladies
106
00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:01.639
and so that it was not known
which lady had entered or what time she
107
00:10:01.679 --> 00:10:07.080
had entered. They were coming in
through the ladies' door. So it
108
00:10:07.159 --> 00:10:13.159
was a very peculiar place. Sixty
rooms, had some amenities like a Turkish
109
00:10:13.279 --> 00:10:22.279
bath and four of the rooms,
the corners of each floor had their own
110
00:10:22.360 --> 00:10:28.360
bathroom. Oh, yeah, this
was something that wasn' t used before.
111
00:10:28.960 --> 00:10:33.480
Before. There were no bathrooms in
the rooms. There was a small
112
00:10:33.559 --> 00:10:37.000
pot of water and a jar for
one to wash one' s face and
113
00:10:37.000 --> 00:10:41.159
hands, but the rest was in
a common bathroom. This hotel innovated by
114
00:10:41.200 --> 00:10:48.759
putting in each corner a room with
bathroom. Casually, Triskell occupied the room
115
00:10:50.799 --> 00:10:56.759
on the corner of the right and
was a great smoker. The fact is
116
00:10:56.759 --> 00:11:01.440
that the businesses were not also even
when the hotel opened with hype and saucer
117
00:11:01.519 --> 00:11:05.879
on December 20th, one thousand eight
hundred and eighty- six, for the
118
00:11:05.879 --> 00:11:13.559
following year it was closed and very
soon would be sold. Tragically, Driskil
119
00:11:13.759 --> 00:11:18.120
would die in a thousand eight hundred
and eighty- eight. He could never
120
00:11:18.200 --> 00:11:22.759
really enjoy the hotel even though he
lived there practically every day from its opening
121
00:11:22.799 --> 00:11:26.759
until his death, the hotel had
to be sold. Some say he lost
122
00:11:26.840 --> 00:11:35.840
it on an unlikely bet, actually, in a terrible winter. Much of
123
00:11:35.919 --> 00:11:43.159
the cattle Driskell had died between drought
and cold. He lost a lot of
124
00:11:43.200 --> 00:11:46.279
money and found himself in the need
to sell the hotel to his brother-
125
00:11:46.440 --> 00:11:52.039
in- law, who at the
time had a bank that he installed in
126
00:11:52.080 --> 00:11:54.320
one of the corners of the building
and where the armored box is still kept.
127
00:11:54.440 --> 00:11:58.120
The fact is that Driskill, with
the sadness of losing his magna work,
128
00:11:58.440 --> 00:12:07.240
dies very soon. From there,
the hotel is changing hands. By
129
00:12:07.320 --> 00:12:13.879
the beginning of the 20th century it
would be remodeled again and about one thousand
130
00:12:13.919 --> 00:12:18.919
nine hundred thirty was built the annex, which is a thirteen- story building
131
00:12:18.919 --> 00:12:22.840
that connects the hotel. Then I' d pass another hand. In a
132
00:12:22.879 --> 00:12:24.720
thousand nine hundred and sixty- six, they were about to demolish it.
133
00:12:24.879 --> 00:12:31.000
The machines were already there, but
fortunately it was saved and the Hyat chain
134
00:12:31.039 --> 00:12:35.360
is currently the owner. Why I
tell you all this, why this hotel
135
00:12:35.440 --> 00:12:41.720
has a great history, a great
story and in the middle of this story
136
00:12:41.879 --> 00:12:50.000
are terrible events and that obviously are
believed to have generated the ghostly presence.
137
00:12:52.519 --> 00:12:58.720
One of the events that is remembered
is a tragic death. You' ll
138
00:12:58.759 --> 00:13:03.960
see in the year of 1,
800 when the hotel opens. Very close
139
00:13:03.000 --> 00:13:11.600
to there they were building Congress for
the Texas Senate, but it wasn'
140
00:13:11.720 --> 00:13:16.600
t finished. Senators from the U
S state of Texas therefore met at the
141
00:13:16.679 --> 00:13:22.039
Driskel Hotel, which was just opened
for sessions. In the famous Ballroom,
142
00:13:22.200 --> 00:13:28.399
everything was built in the Bold Dancerum
or Boldrum, everything was built for the
143
00:13:28.679 --> 00:13:33.039
senators to discuss the issues. So
many of them who came from other regions
144
00:13:33.159 --> 00:13:37.159
of Texas stayed right there. The
fact is that one of these senators,
145
00:13:37.879 --> 00:13:45.919
Temple Leah Houston, arrives there accompanied
by his wife, his little son and
146
00:13:46.000 --> 00:13:50.600
his little girl, Samantha, the
little girl of his eyes, a caramelito,
147
00:13:50.240 --> 00:13:56.360
an incredible creature in her dress with
Caireles, a girl of the Victorian
148
00:13:56.360 --> 00:14:01.039
era, with little shoes that are
very beautiful to a cheerful and playful.
149
00:14:01.200 --> 00:14:07.159
Temple Leah Houston was a very young
man, he was an amazing lawyer who
150
00:14:07.240 --> 00:14:09.919
had developed a very fast activity at
his twenty- five years old. He
151
00:14:11.039 --> 00:14:16.039
was a Senator of the State of
Texas. He was a bar lawyer,
152
00:14:16.399 --> 00:14:22.200
a guy with a lot of money
and very proud of his family. While
153
00:14:22.279 --> 00:14:26.840
you' re staying at the hotel. Everything is going very well, or
154
00:14:26.960 --> 00:14:31.879
at least it seems so. April
1 887, the Senator visits his wife
155
00:14:35.360 --> 00:14:43.799
and children in the room. They' re on the tablenin level in one
156
00:14:43.840 --> 00:14:48.080
of the suites. After saying goodbye
and giving them the kiss of good night,
157
00:14:48.879 --> 00:14:52.440
he returns to the session that is
extending and is held at the end
158
00:14:52.960 --> 00:14:58.039
of the corridor in the living room, in the bal room, as they
159
00:14:58.120 --> 00:15:03.320
called him a ballroom. They'
re locked in there. Without knowing that
160
00:15:03.399 --> 00:15:09.440
while his wife has gone to the
bathroom, little four- year- old
161
00:15:09.519 --> 00:15:16.879
Samanta has taken her ball and gone
out to play in the hallway is late
162
00:15:16.879 --> 00:15:20.679
at night. So there' s
practically no one in the corridors. The
163
00:15:20.759 --> 00:15:26.320
little girl plays by throwing the ball
cheerfully as she laughs by throwing it and
164
00:15:26.320 --> 00:15:33.559
running behind her, not knowing that
death is around the corner, because just
165
00:15:33.639 --> 00:15:41.000
around the corner. The long corridor
leads to the steep stairs that in one
166
00:15:41.039 --> 00:15:46.840
thousand eight hundred and eighty- seven
were entirely marble. The corridor leading to
167
00:15:46.879 --> 00:15:54.720
the stairs is equally marble. Slippery, shiny, thin hard. The little
168
00:15:54.799 --> 00:16:00.399
girl runs with her ball that slops
to the stairs, being happily followed by
169
00:16:00.440 --> 00:16:07.279
the little one that her curls,
those blond caireles fly as she runs laughing
170
00:16:07.440 --> 00:16:11.879
cheerfully, slips and begins to fall
heavy by taking a turn, after another
171
00:16:11.960 --> 00:16:15.360
after another, until reaching the rest
of the ladder where she finds death.
172
00:16:15.440 --> 00:16:22.080
When he hit his head, it
would take a while before someone came by
173
00:16:22.120 --> 00:16:26.399
and realized there was a dead girl
there. When they realize this, they
174
00:16:26.399 --> 00:16:30.120
report immediately everyone knows that this is
Samantha Houston, the Senator' s daughter.
175
00:16:30.399 --> 00:16:37.039
Someone runs to where the session is
and Senator' s Temple Houston comes
176
00:16:37.080 --> 00:16:44.279
running where he finds his dead daughter
lying at the stairwell break. When someone
177
00:16:44.320 --> 00:16:48.759
comes up to want to cover her
up, to want to move her to
178
00:16:48.879 --> 00:16:52.200
do something, he unhooks a gun
and threatens to kill whoever touches her the
179
00:16:53.120 --> 00:16:57.759
girl is alive, he' s
just sleeping, dislocated with the gun in
180
00:16:57.799 --> 00:17:03.880
his hand, threatening everyone who approaches, until finally a fellow senator manages to
181
00:17:03.880 --> 00:17:08.920
take the gun, remove it and
control it. After removing the gun,
182
00:17:10.759 --> 00:17:17.799
the man begs someone to do something, but there' s nothing to do.
183
00:17:18.319 --> 00:17:23.240
The child is dead. This is
reported and the girl is taken out
184
00:17:23.319 --> 00:17:30.440
of the hotel. The press is
also aware, but Driskeld, the owner,
185
00:17:30.519 --> 00:17:36.000
along with the other members of the
Senate, convince journalists only to mention
186
00:17:36.640 --> 00:17:41.119
death. You mustn' t say
the name. However, Senator Houston is
187
00:17:41.200 --> 00:17:47.440
completely destroyed to the point where he
demands that someone portray the child before burying
188
00:17:47.480 --> 00:17:53.880
her. She wants someone to make
a painting of her. Such is his
189
00:17:53.960 --> 00:17:59.200
despair, which does not allow the
creature to be buried until this is done.
190
00:17:59.440 --> 00:18:03.599
A painter or William Henry hull would
be in charge of making the first
191
00:18:04.519 --> 00:18:08.240
sketch of the girl' s body. Of course, he does not draw
192
00:18:08.240 --> 00:18:11.480
it in the state in which he
was on the ladder, much less,
193
00:18:11.079 --> 00:18:15.839
but from the image of the dead
girl, he draws a beautiful creature,
194
00:18:15.400 --> 00:18:22.519
standing with his little dress, with
his ball in his hand. After only
195
00:18:22.599 --> 00:18:27.119
one creature she is buried at her
place of origin about four hundred and fifty
196
00:18:27.119 --> 00:18:33.799
miles from Austin. Senator Temple would
go through a lot of bad time.
197
00:18:33.839 --> 00:18:38.319
In fact, he would die very
young, twenty years after Samantha' s
198
00:18:38.319 --> 00:18:44.440
death, being a drunk man,
still litigating, still being a character in
199
00:18:44.519 --> 00:18:49.799
the law. He dies, probably
because of the galloping alcoholism he was suffering
200
00:18:49.799 --> 00:18:57.680
from. But painting, painting becomes
an interesting piece of this story, because
201
00:18:57.759 --> 00:19:07.720
the painting that was entrusted to William
Henry Hell was never collected. Not the
202
00:19:07.759 --> 00:19:11.720
senator was so wrecked that his wife
didn' t come back for her.
203
00:19:11.839 --> 00:19:18.200
Nor was the painting paid for given
to Colonel Briskil, who would pay his
204
00:19:18.240 --> 00:19:25.559
respects to the Senator, hanging the
image on the stairs. There at the
205
00:19:25.640 --> 00:19:30.480
center of the stairway, where the
two sections converge. The painting, however,
206
00:19:30.839 --> 00:19:37.720
would take on certain peculiar attributes.
From the very beginning she would often
207
00:19:37.720 --> 00:19:45.000
fall from her place constantly, so
she had to be moved some time later,
208
00:19:45.440 --> 00:19:52.200
Senator Houston' s widow would give
the hotel a portrait of her own
209
00:19:52.440 --> 00:19:57.279
tempo leah and her so that they
would be placed together with the portrait of
210
00:19:59.200 --> 00:20:00.200
the girl n n n e r
r or for some error of fate.
211
00:20:00.240 --> 00:20:07.279
And, according to the accounts,
the portraits were placed in separate places and
212
00:20:07.359 --> 00:20:11.440
constantly fell to the floor, until
someone had the good idea of putting them
213
00:20:11.440 --> 00:20:15.200
together. Note that for long periods
of time, the hotel was closed after
214
00:20:15.319 --> 00:20:19.680
the sale of the same, then
in renovations, in periods where there were
215
00:20:19.720 --> 00:20:25.839
no customers, etc. And they
always found the two portraits of Dad and
216
00:20:26.160 --> 00:20:30.119
Mom Houston fallen. When it finally
comes in the remodeling, they put us
217
00:20:30.160 --> 00:20:37.160
in one place and you' ll
wonder what' s deserted from the ghostly
218
00:20:37.200 --> 00:20:38.000
portrait or the cursed portrait. Okay, we' re on our way.
219
00:20:38.880 --> 00:20:45.880
Little Samantha' s image is no
longer in the hotel. For some time
220
00:20:45.920 --> 00:20:52.720
the image was in the old building
at the front. After that, for
221
00:20:53.319 --> 00:21:00.359
some strange reason, images of the
Houston family were assaulted, damaged. Some
222
00:21:00.440 --> 00:21:06.319
vandal damaged them early in the 20th
century. Probably in some Texan government-
223
00:21:06.519 --> 00:21:11.480
related vendetta something similar and the images
were removed and replaced by other pictures.
224
00:21:12.839 --> 00:21:18.160
However, Samantha' s portrait would
be replaced by an image that resembled the
225
00:21:18.759 --> 00:21:23.240
original painting, of which it is
not known exactly where it is. The
226
00:21:23.279 --> 00:21:30.559
painting that replaced Samantha' s image
was a replica, a well- known
227
00:21:32.160 --> 00:21:36.200
replica of a work by a British
author. The work is known as Lope
228
00:21:36.279 --> 00:21:41.519
Letters Love Letters and is a work
by the English painter Charles Treborg Garland.
229
00:21:41.599 --> 00:21:45.799
The play was more or less made
at the same time as Samantha died in
230
00:21:45.839 --> 00:21:48.480
that place. However, what is
there is a replica, It is a
231
00:21:48.559 --> 00:21:56.000
copy made long after by Richard King
in the seventies However, since always that
232
00:21:56.000 --> 00:22:03.160
picture has given many problems. People
who approach and see it feel a strange
233
00:22:03.279 --> 00:22:07.799
nervousness. Every time he has been
changed from the place, the painting falls
234
00:22:10.160 --> 00:22:15.680
down and it is told that those
who put sweets on their feet on a
235
00:22:15.720 --> 00:22:17.400
table the next day were no longer
there. That' s an urban legend.
236
00:22:17.400 --> 00:22:18.880
Actually, the painting is hanging in
a hallway and has never had a
237
00:22:18.920 --> 00:22:23.039
little table, but many people have
been uncomfortable with this picture when they stay
238
00:22:23.119 --> 00:22:27.680
looking at it. They feel dizzy, they feel uncomfortable. But it'
239
00:22:27.720 --> 00:22:33.279
s not just the painting. The
people who have worked at the hotel have
240
00:22:33.319 --> 00:22:37.839
always felt, as the night falls
close to one in the morning, the
241
00:22:37.880 --> 00:22:44.640
noise of a boy playing a girl
is heard how he runs precisely there near
242
00:22:45.200 --> 00:22:48.759
the old staircase, in the main
access, in the old building, in
243
00:22:48.759 --> 00:22:55.039
the building of Driskel, not in
the enlargement. The picture is currently in
244
00:22:55.079 --> 00:22:57.960
the extension, in the annex,
on the fiveth floor, in the old
245
00:22:59.079 --> 00:23:00.680
building. It' s where they
hear each other. In the voices there
246
00:23:00.720 --> 00:23:04.960
is a relationship in this. Some
believe that the girl is attached to her
247
00:23:06.000 --> 00:23:10.440
painting, that she was originally on
the ladder and that she has followed it
248
00:23:10.480 --> 00:23:12.240
even when it is a lithography,
that is, an impression. It'
249
00:23:12.319 --> 00:23:17.400
s not an original. For others. What' s in the picture is
250
00:23:17.480 --> 00:23:19.680
some kind of curse. It'
s a cursed picture like many others.
251
00:23:21.000 --> 00:23:26.200
However, the strongest part of this
Samantha story is the ghost. As late
252
00:23:26.359 --> 00:23:30.839
as two thousand five, two thousand
six, two thousand eight, security guards
253
00:23:30.839 --> 00:23:37.400
have reported entry in the morning hearing
the laughter of a little girl or boy
254
00:23:37.480 --> 00:23:42.519
playing in this place. Even though
they know there' s no one,
255
00:23:42.759 --> 00:23:45.960
even when you can see there'
s no one in the security cameras,
256
00:23:47.279 --> 00:23:51.240
you can hear this. What has
also been reported by visitors is that when
257
00:23:51.359 --> 00:23:55.759
they enter the night, when they
return to their rooms and have been lucky
258
00:23:55.839 --> 00:23:59.799
enough to be touched by the old
rooms in the first building, they come
259
00:23:59.839 --> 00:24:03.519
to hear that, they come to
hear the laughter of a creature. But
260
00:24:03.559 --> 00:24:07.000
when you open the room door to
see who' s making a fuss,
261
00:24:07.240 --> 00:24:11.000
there' s nothing. The corridors
are very long, so it would be
262
00:24:11.039 --> 00:24:15.000
hard to hide and if someone closes
a door, it would be heard.
263
00:24:17.000 --> 00:24:19.880
It' s funny, but for
many, Samantha, she' s never
264
00:24:19.880 --> 00:24:25.319
gone. He' s still there, but he' s not the only
265
00:24:25.319 --> 00:24:29.240
person still there. Another of the
ghosts that has been pointed out is Driskie
266
00:24:29.319 --> 00:24:33.160
himself. Some say that, in
fact, the appearance that Johnet Napolitano saw,
267
00:24:33.880 --> 00:24:37.359
the story with which he started the
program, is none other than the
268
00:24:37.440 --> 00:24:41.000
jessiet Riskill himself, who, by
the way, was known to be very
269
00:24:41.039 --> 00:24:51.680
fond of the company of very varied
ladies and who happened to love that room.
270
00:24:52.319 --> 00:24:56.319
But, in case this isn'
t enough, there' s Miss
271
00:24:56.400 --> 00:25:00.920
Bridges' case. Miss Bridgers was
in charge of the counter in the 1930s.
272
00:25:04.319 --> 00:25:08.319
This woman was the one who received
the visitors, a very Victorian woman,
273
00:25:08.920 --> 00:25:15.720
still wearing her dress to the old
very conservative, very own who practically
274
00:25:15.759 --> 00:25:22.079
lived there. And not only that, but he spent many years working there.
275
00:25:23.519 --> 00:25:27.720
She was in charge of receiving people, of receiving special guests, even
276
00:25:27.799 --> 00:25:33.920
accompanying them to their rooms, of
caring for them in a well- known
277
00:25:33.960 --> 00:25:41.200
person controlled the service people. He
saw that everything was fine in one of
278
00:25:41.200 --> 00:25:48.160
those efficient people attached to his post
always attentively the old desk at the reception
279
00:25:48.200 --> 00:25:52.000
is no longer there. In one
of the renovations of the sixties it was
280
00:25:52.039 --> 00:25:56.960
replaced and is no longer there.
However, for years many people have seen
281
00:25:57.079 --> 00:26:04.839
an older woman of unusual appearance next
to the flowers on the access. In
282
00:26:04.920 --> 00:26:08.440
this place. There are usually flowers
adorning the entrance and they usually see it
283
00:26:08.440 --> 00:26:12.039
there. But when she' s
not there, they know she' s
284
00:26:12.119 --> 00:26:19.240
out there because of the smell of
Mrs Bridges, she always loved having fresh
285
00:26:19.359 --> 00:26:23.000
flowers at the entrance to the building. It was a touch of courtesy and
286
00:26:23.720 --> 00:26:30.119
when it appears, it appears accompanied
by a strong smell of fresh roses.
287
00:26:30.359 --> 00:26:34.799
It has been seen many times and
has been seen as late as the two
288
00:26:34.880 --> 00:26:41.680
thousand years. There are many people
who assure it after this. There are
289
00:26:41.680 --> 00:26:48.519
others, such as the case of
Peter Loles. Mr Peter Lo Lees was
290
00:26:48.640 --> 00:26:55.039
a permanent guest of the Driskie.
This man arrived there in a thousand eight
291
00:26:55.079 --> 00:26:59.119
hundred and eighty- eight, shortly
before Colonel Briskil himself closed it and sold
292
00:26:59.160 --> 00:27:03.559
it. But, as he had
made an advance payment, he stayed at
293
00:27:03.640 --> 00:27:07.880
the hotel even though there were no
other guests. He had his own room
294
00:27:08.559 --> 00:27:14.480
and his own key to entering the
building. The last night he spent at
295
00:27:14.519 --> 00:27:18.000
the hotel was in a thousand nine
hundred and sixteen. Almost thirty years,
296
00:27:18.039 --> 00:27:22.359
twenty- eight years in which he
stayed there. There would be remodeling or
297
00:27:22.359 --> 00:27:26.200
not. There would have been remodeling, there would be customers, there would
298
00:27:26.279 --> 00:27:29.000
be service, it didn' t
matter to him it was there. It
299
00:27:29.039 --> 00:27:37.920
has been seen many times many times. He loved checking his watch for good
300
00:27:37.079 --> 00:27:44.000
on time. For years you'
ve seen a gentleman who suddenly walks down
301
00:27:44.079 --> 00:27:49.119
a corridor, stops taking out a
watch from those little chain that were carried
302
00:27:49.359 --> 00:27:56.519
in the bag of the vest.
Check the time, look, and while
303
00:27:56.599 --> 00:28:03.839
you realize there' s someone watching
you, you disappear Mr Loles is an
304
00:28:03.920 --> 00:28:07.319
entire institution like a ghost in this
building. Practically any waitress. Any employee
305
00:28:07.759 --> 00:28:11.799
who was there during the night has
come to see numerous customers as well.
306
00:28:12.640 --> 00:28:17.799
But the problem with the hotel is
that, well, there are those who
307
00:28:17.920 --> 00:28:21.799
go specifically to live the experience of
meeting a ghost and there are those who
308
00:28:21.799 --> 00:28:27.480
did not know it and carry a
tremendous surprise, because this is frequent and,
309
00:28:29.279 --> 00:28:33.039
for example, in the annex at
the back, which are thirteen levels,
310
00:28:33.200 --> 00:28:37.160
there are also a number of tremendous
stories and is that this site is
311
00:28:37.160 --> 00:28:42.400
also marked. In nineteen hundred and
forty, the hotel was running fullness,
312
00:28:44.559 --> 00:28:47.680
it was at a great moment,
the city was growing. Everything was fine
313
00:28:47.759 --> 00:28:53.960
and in the halls of the old
building were celebrated weddings of bachelorettes, bachelors.
314
00:28:56.200 --> 00:29:00.000
There were great dances, celebrations,
commitments. When they were a compromise,
315
00:29:00.000 --> 00:29:06.480
there was a party, tremendous and
piano orchestra, exuberant meals, beautiful
316
00:29:06.559 --> 00:29:11.960
things. The fact is that in
nineteen hundred and forty, in the middle
317
00:29:11.000 --> 00:29:15.240
of World War II, when the
war was over, a Texan couple is
318
00:29:15.279 --> 00:29:21.680
engaged and is going to marry.
The bride' s father pays for the
319
00:29:21.680 --> 00:29:26.880
hotel, pays for the party.
The most elegant service that could be a
320
00:29:27.000 --> 00:29:30.680
great dinner is going to serve at
all luxury. It separates one of the
321
00:29:30.720 --> 00:29:37.759
best suites. Unfortunately they can'
t in the old building, so they
322
00:29:37.839 --> 00:29:42.400
' re assigned. The room on
the pin fifth floor of the Annex is
323
00:29:42.440 --> 00:29:45.759
a special room with a beautiful tub. It' s a bridal room.
324
00:29:47.759 --> 00:29:55.640
Everything' s perfect, except the
wedding day, the groom doesn' t
325
00:29:55.720 --> 00:29:59.920
show up and he' s never
gonna make it. He sent a missive
326
00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:03.440
ca cancelling the engagement for some reason
that the guy didn' t explain.
327
00:30:04.000 --> 00:30:11.200
He gave up marrying that young woman
who, desperate to find out, rushes
328
00:30:11.240 --> 00:30:18.640
up to her room and locks herself
in while everything was chaos in the living
329
00:30:18.640 --> 00:30:22.400
room, and with guests, and
everything ready, ready to eat. Well,
330
00:30:22.640 --> 00:30:25.079
dinner is served because people have already
arrived and when they are distracted when
331
00:30:25.200 --> 00:30:29.839
they go to the room to look
for the young woman, they find her
332
00:30:29.839 --> 00:30:34.240
dead. The girl had hung herself
from a pipe in one of the dressing
333
00:30:34.279 --> 00:30:37.599
rooms, in one of the closetts, had put something around her neck and
334
00:30:37.599 --> 00:30:42.359
had taken her life dressed as a
bride. From that moment on, so
335
00:30:44.400 --> 00:30:48.079
many people have seen the ghostly bride, especially when there is going to be
336
00:30:48.119 --> 00:30:53.920
a wedding party. There are those
who have seen a woman dressed in white
337
00:30:56.000 --> 00:30:59.480
walking in the path of the area
of the annex of the fifth floor,
338
00:30:59.559 --> 00:31:02.200
to the party hall that is in
the old building. They' ve seen
339
00:31:02.240 --> 00:31:08.200
her walking like that to crash into
a wall and disappear, to walk to
340
00:31:08.240 --> 00:31:14.599
a door that never opens and disappears
to be behind someone. This situation has
341
00:31:14.640 --> 00:31:18.559
sometimes become a little disturbing, because
the ghostly bride of the Triskill, especially
342
00:31:18.240 --> 00:31:22.039
the one in room five hundred twenty- five, which is not the only
343
00:31:23.240 --> 00:31:30.640
one, usually has the aim of
standing behind people. Those couples who are
344
00:31:30.799 --> 00:31:34.319
romantically going to spend their honeymoon at
the driskil or the wedding night while trying
345
00:31:34.400 --> 00:31:41.440
to open the door suddenly realize that
behind them is the ghostly bride. In
346
00:31:41.519 --> 00:31:45.599
the middle of the night more than
one has run away believe me. And
347
00:31:45.680 --> 00:31:48.880
that' s not that weird either, because suddenly, when the doorbell rings
348
00:31:48.920 --> 00:31:52.880
at the reception and someone answers if
I tell me room, I don'
349
00:31:52.880 --> 00:31:55.519
t know what just happened to me. It' s to report a ghost.
350
00:31:56.119 --> 00:31:59.799
They' re used to it.
They know how to deal with that,
351
00:32:00.160 --> 00:32:02.240
but she' s not the only
ghost bride. In nine hundred and
352
00:32:02.240 --> 00:32:08.880
ninety, a young woman from Houston' s high society in Texas is about
353
00:32:08.920 --> 00:32:13.759
to marry. Everything' s settled, everything' s ready. One of
354
00:32:13.759 --> 00:32:17.759
those great spectacular parties. The party
is going to be in Houston, not
355
00:32:17.799 --> 00:32:24.079
in Austen, but everything is prepared
and exactly the same way as the first
356
00:32:24.119 --> 00:32:30.039
case, suddenly the groom decides to
cancel the wedding arguing that she had failed
357
00:32:30.119 --> 00:32:32.480
her that the young woman had walked. That' s where he made a
358
00:32:32.480 --> 00:32:37.559
story. The guy, so he
cancels the wedding. The young woman,
359
00:32:38.720 --> 00:32:44.839
stripped of her face, has one
last resort. Before the wedding was cancelled,
360
00:32:45.039 --> 00:32:49.559
the groom had given her a credit
card to make some purchases for the
361
00:32:49.599 --> 00:32:55.000
party. So, armed with that
genenédito card, this young lady is moving
362
00:32:55.039 --> 00:33:01.039
to Houston. He stays at the
Thriski Hotel, in one of the rooms
363
00:33:01.559 --> 00:33:07.039
of his choice, the three,
two, nine and from that moment on
364
00:33:07.119 --> 00:33:12.680
he is dedicated to shopping Throughout a
week. Every day he goes and buys
365
00:33:12.799 --> 00:33:20.680
things. He arrives with bags full
of his hands in his room. However,
366
00:33:21.039 --> 00:33:24.079
after a week, suddenly no one
else sees her and it would not
367
00:33:24.119 --> 00:33:30.480
be until three days after they stopped
seeing her. For the last time someone
368
00:33:30.559 --> 00:33:35.839
arrives and with the master key opens
the door to find a terrible scene in
369
00:33:35.880 --> 00:33:42.359
the bathtub of the room. The
body of the young woman who took her
370
00:33:42.400 --> 00:33:46.000
life by shooting herself in the abdomen. The girl has taken a gun,
371
00:33:46.599 --> 00:33:51.160
put on a pillow at the height
of her abdomen and shot herself taking her
372
00:33:51.200 --> 00:33:58.759
life. It collects all that.
The hundreds of packages in the room are
373
00:33:58.759 --> 00:34:02.279
sent to this girl' s family. The room closes, of course,
374
00:34:02.720 --> 00:34:07.039
for some time, but when it
opens again, things get very complicated,
375
00:34:07.199 --> 00:34:12.519
because throughout the same night it can
appear several times, especially if those who
376
00:34:12.559 --> 00:34:19.599
are there are couples of newlywed doors
that are whipped, kisses that are heard
377
00:34:19.639 --> 00:34:25.920
as if someone were kissing, like
a memory of a pleasant moment. The
378
00:34:25.920 --> 00:34:31.000
curtains open, the people who are
sleeping are awakened by something that moves them.
379
00:34:31.920 --> 00:34:38.079
The front door opens and clear,
the laughter, the laughter of the
380
00:34:38.119 --> 00:34:57.719
dead bride that is still heard today
and you would think who lightning wants to
381
00:34:57.760 --> 00:35:00.559
stay there. Well, it'
s a beautiful hotel. It has these
382
00:35:00.599 --> 00:35:06.920
beautiful corridors, full of images,
full of ornaments. The bar is spectacular,
383
00:35:07.039 --> 00:35:14.519
it eats magnificently and the ghosts that
live there are not at all aggressive.
384
00:35:15.079 --> 00:35:19.440
They just like to play a joke. The building, early in the
385
00:35:19.639 --> 00:35:23.719
21st century, is a 100 percent
tobacco- free place, completely forbidden to
386
00:35:23.800 --> 00:35:28.960
smoke. There' s a fine
of several hundred dollars or thousands of dollars
387
00:35:29.000 --> 00:35:31.000
for whoever smokes inside. And yet, it is not so rare that,
388
00:35:31.559 --> 00:35:36.159
as you walk through one of the
corridors of the old building, suddenly you
389
00:35:36.239 --> 00:35:42.599
feel a penetrating smell of strong tobacco, strong, not cigarette tobacco, but
390
00:35:42.719 --> 00:35:49.519
something else very strong. Of course, it' s not that someone is
391
00:35:50.280 --> 00:35:53.679
smoking, but someone who was there
a long time ago is still walking.
392
00:35:54.239 --> 00:35:58.920
Some say it' s Colonel Driskie
himself, some say it can be any
393
00:35:58.960 --> 00:36:02.079
other number of people keep in mind
that in there, while playing a leisure
394
00:36:02.159 --> 00:36:10.559
hand, someone killed someone that simple
still in hostile territory back then. But
395
00:36:10.599 --> 00:36:14.880
one of the places that has attracted
the most attention because of the rare effect
396
00:36:14.960 --> 00:36:19.840
it has is the Maximilian Hall.
There' s a story behind it.
397
00:36:20.920 --> 00:36:28.280
This beautiful living room has eight mirrors. The eight mirrors were manufactured in Europe.
398
00:36:28.639 --> 00:36:34.000
They have a gold- lined,
laminated frame and are of exceptional quality.
399
00:36:35.079 --> 00:36:38.079
They are distributed in such a way
that when one separates and looks at
400
00:36:38.239 --> 00:36:44.639
one of the mirrors, the infinite
effect is immediately generated, since one is
401
00:36:44.679 --> 00:36:49.559
seeing this mirror and the one behind
it is placed in the same direction,
402
00:36:49.760 --> 00:36:54.400
reflects this one and thus mutually generates
an infinite string of images. The sensation
403
00:36:54.440 --> 00:36:59.960
it causes, moreover, is a
sense of sadness, a sense of abandonment,
404
00:37:00.639 --> 00:37:05.239
of loneliness. Some even point out
that it can be a sense of
405
00:37:05.320 --> 00:37:09.159
madness and that these mirrors have a
terrible history behind them. History has to
406
00:37:09.199 --> 00:37:13.960
do with Mexico. That' s
why it' s called the Maximilian Hall.
407
00:37:14.800 --> 00:37:22.360
In Mexico, about one thousand eight
hundred and sixty- sixteen, there
408
00:37:22.840 --> 00:37:27.280
was an emperor of Austrian origin.
It is not the subject of this long
409
00:37:27.280 --> 00:37:30.719
programme. The fact is that Maximilian
of Habsburg was the Mexican emperor. A
410
00:37:30.840 --> 00:37:37.119
stitch that had been thrown by a
group of Mexicans at the time, at
411
00:37:37.599 --> 00:37:42.559
the very moment, tense the country
was very confronted, there were war actions.
412
00:37:42.639 --> 00:37:45.639
The fact is that this man arrives
believing that he will be the great
413
00:37:45.719 --> 00:37:52.400
emperor supported by France, but the
moment the French troops withdraw, he remains
414
00:37:52.559 --> 00:38:00.760
alone and is captured and sentenced to
death. The Mexican President, Benito Juárez,
415
00:38:00.199 --> 00:38:07.440
is the one who regains power and
controls the government and in one thousand
416
00:38:07.519 --> 00:38:13.239
eight hundred and sixty- seven,
Maximilian is executed, shot, his wife
417
00:38:13.239 --> 00:38:19.280
had been sent to Europe with several
commissions, among others. While in Europe,
418
00:38:19.360 --> 00:38:23.559
he had ordered the manufacture of the
eight mirrors to decorate the palace.
419
00:38:23.800 --> 00:38:30.760
In Mexico, the mirrors would be
finished, paid for and shipped by boat,
420
00:38:30.559 --> 00:38:34.920
but they would arrive in New Orleans, in the United States, where
421
00:38:34.920 --> 00:38:39.320
they would be detained. There was
no more Mexican empire. Maximilian had been
422
00:38:39.360 --> 00:38:45.599
executed. His wife, Carlota,
was practically out of her mind in Europe.
423
00:38:45.280 --> 00:38:49.000
Those who claim she went crazy about
the husband' s death. Some
424
00:38:49.079 --> 00:38:53.079
claim she was mentally ill because of
a toxin she had consumed in Mexico as
425
00:38:53.119 --> 00:38:59.159
part of an alleged treatment for infertility. Well, there' s a whole
426
00:38:59.199 --> 00:39:02.599
myth about another program. The fact
is that Carlota is in Europe and there
427
00:39:02.639 --> 00:39:07.280
she stays, she no longer returns
to Mexico and her mirrors, these eight
428
00:39:07.440 --> 00:39:14.320
beautiful and very fine mirrors, stay
for a long time stored in a winery
429
00:39:14.400 --> 00:39:22.400
in New Orleans, until finally someone
sells them and they are bought and installed
430
00:39:22.440 --> 00:39:28.480
in the thirties of the twentieth century
at the Whiskel Hotel where the Maximilian salon
431
00:39:28.599 --> 00:39:35.679
is built, because the mirrors had
been manufactured with that idea. From that
432
00:39:35.719 --> 00:39:38.719
moment on, this space has been
a very rare place. The sensations that
433
00:39:38.800 --> 00:39:44.679
are described are described as deep sadness. Not always and not all people,
434
00:39:45.199 --> 00:39:49.639
not all who are there, perceive
this, but those who are a little
435
00:39:49.679 --> 00:39:54.119
more sensitive can feel very uncomfortable.
So this is a place that has everything,
436
00:39:54.320 --> 00:40:00.360
from the ghost of the child,
the cursed picture, which causes dizziness
437
00:40:00.440 --> 00:40:04.960
and very rare sensations and which is
believed to be related to the ghost of
438
00:40:04.960 --> 00:40:09.079
the girl who sees herself reflected in
this image, the ghost of Mr Lowles,
439
00:40:09.599 --> 00:40:15.400
the ghost of Mrs Bridges, the
ghost of Jessie Dris Hill himself and
440
00:40:15.519 --> 00:40:22.840
the suicide brides. A perfect cocktail
in a beautiful building. He' s
441
00:40:22.880 --> 00:40:28.760
active today. If you want to
stay there it can be clear if it
442
00:40:28.960 --> 00:40:31.000
has value, because if you touch
room five hundred twenty- five, it
443
00:40:31.000 --> 00:40:36.280
is very likely that, in the
middle of the morning, they knock at
444
00:40:36.320 --> 00:40:42.360
your door loudly, as if they
wanted to knock it down, as if
445
00:40:42.360 --> 00:40:50.239
they wanted to open it, because
they know that someone inside has just hanged
446
00:40:50.239 --> 00:40:50.239
themselves but when you open the door
outside, this long corridor is completely empty.
447
00:40:51.760 --> 00:40:54.440
Don' t worry. If you
call the reception desk and there'
448
00:40:54.480 --> 00:41:00.000
s some room available, they'
ll probably give you access and if there
449
00:41:00.239 --> 00:41:02.639
isn' t, they' ll
probably give you your money back, because
450
00:41:02.760 --> 00:41:24.119
they know that there are people who
don' t like ghosts showing up half
451
00:41:24.199 --> 00:41:28.280
the night and now, if I
may, let' s say hello.
452
00:41:28.840 --> 00:41:32.639
We want to greet Patti Chuchuca,
who is in Ecuador and is a faithful

00:41:32.639 --> 00:41:37.079
