Yeah, but the story can't be true,
because the story said whoever gets
into the room never gets out.
And we got out, because that's what we do, baby.
We go into haunted hotel rooms, and we get out.
But if it's not real, how do you explain
what we saw in the mirror?
Or explain all the people who have gone missing?
I mean, there's the bellhop, that actress,
the family in the '80s, and the ghost hunter.
Okay, well, there's usually an explanation for everything.

You're listening to "The Dangerous Soup,"
the podcast where we talk about all things supernatural,
and today's episode is about a ghost hunter
who literally vanished into thin air.
In 1996, Ricky Hagerty started hunting ghosts
in order to prove that his best friend
was taken by an evil spirit.
[electronic chiming] Game over.
I'm going to go get a lemonade.
Do you want one?
- Sure. Thanks. - Can you watch my stuff?
Yeah. Oh, pink if they have it.
Yeah.
Ricky's search for answers
was looking promising until the night
he checked into the Veil Hotel.
He was hoping to capture some paranormal activity on tape.
But nobody knows if he ever did, because since that night,
neither Ricky nor his video camera have ever been found.
Hey, put that back.

Okay.
Miss king-- Oh, sorry.
Didn't mean to frighten you.
How are we today?
Oh, great. Sorry, I need your help.
My friend's phone was stolen, and I was wondering--
Oh, I'm sorry to hear about that.
When did you realize it was missing?
It's not missing.
Some kid stole it out of her bag and took off.
Oh, can you describe what this kid looked like?
I-I don't know. A little girl, maybe?
Okay, she looks like every little girl ever, okay?
And she ran into the elevator before I could catch her.
Is there a floor hidden beneath the lobby?
Just an ancient burial ground.
Hilarious.
Okay, can you check the cameras to find out where she went?
No, there are no cameras on the premises.
It's a policy of the Veil Resort and Spa.
Okay, what kind of a hotel doesn't have cameras?
The kind of hotel that cares about the privacy
of its esteemed guests.
Or the kind that has something to hide?
Look, I'm very sorry about your friend's phone,
and I promise to keep an eye out
for this little girl that looks like every other little girl,
and if it turns up, I shall let you know.
But in the meantime, perhaps your friend
could use this as a chance to...unplug.
Miss King?
Sorry, I forgot to ask.
How are you your nightmares?
Excuse me?
The other night, you were sleepwalking
in the halls, remember?
Oh.
Thank you.

So you may have heard some of the superstitions
about mirrors, like if you break one,
you'll have seven years of bad luck.
But did you know that the mirror next to your bed
may also be haunted by a ghost?
Many cultures all around the world
believe that mirrors are portals to the other side.
But be careful,
because opening a portal to the other side
can let evil spirits out
that you might not be ready to deal with.
