I Stay In England's Most Haunted Castle!👉 th-cam.com/video/oSOAEqlA98g/w-d-xo.html
How about staying in the Plaza or Ritz?
Do say haunted 👻 👽
“I’m getting chills” said Tim standing next to the fridge.
LOLOLOL
hahaha
@@WalkWithMeTimikr
Are they multiplying ? 😂
@@shirleyac12 and he's loooosing control!😑
i think it's a little sad that the motel was founded in honor of someone with a genuine love of clowns, but its current owners lean into the spooky clown vibes and paranormal activity. however, i suppose ghost hunters and horror buffs are a much more profitable market than clown superfans haha
They gotta survive 😂. Can't imagine the make a nice profit.
There’s not really any other way to market a motel with thousands of clowns. Even with the original 160, it would have still been difficult if they were in a public space.
It wasn’t the current owners who started it. It was the previous ones, and given what was said allegedly by the previous about difficulties, it makes sense why the current ones would use it more to their advantage.
The opening sequence with the lightning perfectly flashing over the hotel was perfection!
I know right .. couldn't ask for that thunderstorm I got lucky
If you ever get attacked by a group of clowns
Got straight for the juggler
🤪😜
I stayed a night in the IT room with my husband and a good friend two years ago. Nothing spooky happened, but the bed was comfy and we all loved the decor. The clown museum was really cool and the cemetery was very interesting to walk around. It’s a fun place. :)
Thats exactly what a murderous ghost clown would say to lure in unsuspecting victims.
@@mushroom032Never understood a grown adult’s fear of clowns. 🤡 This place is very cool.
@@kthom4595Right, because being a grown adult means you can’t have a fear of anything…
Motels usually are scary - without the need for clowns!
Yea I’ve had some very odd experiences in American motels - that’s why I still love them
Like the owner said, crackheads be breaking in lmao 🤣
Actually I think the ghost hunter might be one of them lol sorry 😂
Exactly.
I live in the Smokies of TN. Some of the motels from here to the flip side in Cherokee NC are absolutely creepy on their own.
In Cherokee, the tourism basically stops after October so it's a sparsely occupied area through March essentially. Surrounded by those mountains, that's enough to unnerve anyone.
Maggie Valley NC is the same nearby.
The motels in Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg off season are pretty much full of freaky locals with meth habits.
Stay farrrrrrr away.
That's why there 's so many horror movies involving motels 🤡
That owner is pretty cool. Good story, and smart idea to just lean into the clown thing 100%.
Interesting, I think the staff give you the stories and your mind does the rest. The second guy can tell a good yarn. I guessed you wouldn't sleep.
Did anyone else hear the man's scream as they left the pennywise room?
yep. i think i wouldve missed it if you hadnt of mentioned it. good spotting.
deffinitley
I have rewind a couple a times to confirm that is was a scream.
I went to this place about a decade ago this place wasn't as themed as it is now.
The new owners have done a really great job from what I've seen in this video.
An EMF reader went red when he went nearer to a bathroom with a light in the roof with cables running by it… shock horror
I know its what I said
I thought the same thing. I don’t mean this to seem rude but it was pretty clear that this EMF guy has no real clue what he’s doing…. Or I guess on the flip side you could say he does and is actively trying to convince people through means that he knows are deceptive. Especially if he knows that the individual doesn’t have a clue on this sort of stuff.
This isn’t me trying to be mean towards him. Seemed like an enjoyable guy, just I can’t look past red flags in what he’s portraying. And I get it, this is part of the marketing for the motel, but it becomes a problem for me when it feels like it’s being faked for profit.
Another glaring issue, and maybe you can find stories on the internet, (I haven’t looked), but stories about it being haunted seem to have mainly become a thing after Ghost Adventures. They are notorious for faking things! I mean seriously, there’s an episode where he’s trying to get it on with a ghost 🤦♀️ and he’s made the claim that the beds found in storage at the Stanley Hotel where beds that people died on. It’s literally not factual at all!!! The point I’m getting at is it seems like the previous owners tried to take advantage of GA’s investigation but maybe didn’t know how to fully and the current owners are leaning more into it with the help of their hoteling knowledge. I can’t say I blame them. I don’t see another way to market a motel with clowns, scary or “not.”
18:26 only at a motel could you hear someone randomly screaming in pain and no one blinks an eye
yes I think it was not door
Just heard it too. 😮
I heard it too it was coming from the room but I don't think it's a old ghost ie died recently
The owner is so awesome. I am not super into clown stuff but I would go just for the atmosphere. It's so charming.
Hi Tim, thanks for a very spooky video, there is no way I could stay there, the pictures on the wall would scare and keep me awake.
they did me .. lol
@@WalkWithMeTimawwww bless you.
Same and I'd be checking for eye movement lol...
Just recently discovered this channel and I am glad I did! I have loved the videos I have seen so far!
Appreciate that Brian! thank you
@@WalkWithMeTimextremely professional and very well styled
YES!!! Love visiting spooky hotels! Not personally- I live vicariously through others. This was fab.
Loving the American hotels series! Your sayings are so great. The spontaneous ‘blimey’ is my favorite. I heard you utter one on the Circus Circus video, rightfully so! Lol. Love the genuine honest reactions. Thanks Tim.
Glad you like them! Lol
As soon as you opened the door, there was a creepy vibe, for sure. I wouldn't like to live there alone. The clowns aren't friendly looking. I love this video! Dont be embarrassed, its screaming haunted! The rooms have an unsettling atmosphere. Perhaps you didnt sleep well because a presence wanted you out of their space. You were brave to unpack your bags!!
My thoughts exactly
I really enjoyed this one! Tim you was brave enough to even book and stay here on your own, at least you tried to sleep here! A lot of us probably wont!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Looked cleaner then Circus Circus
😆
Ooh I like the theme, I think there should be more themed hotels, it would make peoples stay more fun 😊 You should try to find more themed ones to show us 😊
If you listen to the part at 18:27 where the man closes the door you can hear a man scream in the background. Just wanted to tell you
It’s motel with other guests. Sounds happen
It was the door squeeking
I woke up this morning in a Halloweeny mood and instantly went on to TH-cam to look for something spooky and I watched a video about this motel, and know you made a video on it, amazing !!!!
That is awesome!
Great episode Tim love your presentation style. If you find anymore alternative road side attractions / motels I’d love that. America seems to be full of them
IM FRIGHTENED!!!
Me too and I haven't watched it yet lol 😮
Just watched it wasn't too bad, but I couldn't have stayed in that room,great vlog though, we don't Tim 😱
ha ha ha you said you like the bed sheets
I be scared to I’m a paranormal investigator but I hate clowns.
Gabby get Tim to say at the station hotel in dudley west mids. Full of ghosts there ghosts nights are great, going around dudley castel and then the hotel
Really interesting to see another perspective on this motel! Ive watched a few videos from paranormal TH-camrs of this motel and this is a brilliant point of view on the functionality of the place!
Really loved this video! Enjoyed the new editing style, the cinematography and the interviews with the staff - probably my fave video you've done 👍
Awesome, thank you!
I'm really sad that you haven't given any prices!!! It's what l love about your videos, it gives me the opportunity to consider going myself 🤷🏼♀️
The "photography welcome" signs are so wholesome.
Did they have complimentary huge clown shoes slippers ?
That room is super cute! Love the vintage refrigerator. Clowns and this decor don’t bother me, would definitely stay here.
Good grief - it's straight out of a Hollywood film, lightning included! It's wonderfully kitsch & creepy, stuck out in the desert, old cemetery...it's got such a vibe!
I just watched all the film... You need to stay in more haunted hotels, you are a natural! In being scared, and it is funny to watch.
What a strange, creepy place! Don’t blame you one bit for sleeping in the car. I would have too! More haunted locations please!!
just one more coming on Sunday :-)
Poor Charlie, Im sure he is traumatized. I know he is so grateful to the new owner stopping the nightcaps 😂😂
Love hotels with a theme like this. What makes someone think "I wanna open a clown hotel?" It's closed down now but they had a museum near me with over hundreds of teapots in it! Fascinating
I believe this was created by the original owners as a honour to their late father, who had a massive love for clowns 😊
It might have just been me but, that skull ornament looked like it had a camera lens in it. Also, the ball that the gentleman kept throwing on the beds is the same type of one that my grandchildren used to play with. . . It lights up and flashes when thrown around 😂
I hope not .. I think it was lights
@@WalkWithMeTim I hope it was lights, I think I would have put it in a drawer ha ha!
Brilliant informative vlog as always Tim - I dont think i could have even tried to sleep in the rooms, so you were alot braver than i would have been.
Thanks for the chat with the current owners. I‘ve seen previous videos of the hotel, and it’s interesting how things have actually changed. IIRC, The previous owners didn‘t play up the scary clown bit - but it was still scary! :D
Brilliant video. Love spooky things like this
Love all your uploads but I could watch a whole series on spooky haunted hotels/motels love the vibes🙌
More to come! Tomorrow
18:06 when the man is talking about getting scratched I heard a sound, and at 18:25 when he’s shutting the door i heard a man yell😰 did anyone else notice this?
I did
It's a motel, there is bound to be people being noisy etc.
Yeah! I came
To the comments to see if anyone else mentioned the yelling 😂
I also heard a man yelling. I said to myself what was that?😱
I hear it! Assumed it was just someone staying there as Tim didn’t put any captions in…. Who knows 🤷🏼♀️
Great vlog Tim,wasnt too bad,some eerie looking clown pics,
I wouldn't have slept in the room either,the bedding was really lovely and bright,thanks for sharing 😊
This video is so good, perfect time of the year for one of these videos!
Hi Tim thank for making the video absolutely loved it.
My pleasure!
Fantastic video Tim. Loved Chris thought he was OTT but very entertaining. To be honest I get a bit freaked out when I'm on my own in a hotel with any sort of weird freaky art/paintings hanging on the walls so this would have completely been a lights on job for me. Don't blame you for staying in the car. Keep up the great work!
Chris is a bit of a tour guide for the hotel and does the tours too
This should be a treat, cheers Tim. 👍
Wow, hearing the stories from the owner Vijay was awesome Tim... thanks!
Absolutely petrified of clowns but cant help but watch Tim. Another great video 🤗 thank you
Glad you enjoyed it
Tim never disappoints.
Brilliant video again ,love this channel
Thank you very much!
Great video! Love the creaking/squeaking of the door
Absolutely loved this vlog Tim. The enthusiasm of the owners is great. I couldn’t see the 🖐️ handprints either 😂.deffo spooky for sure. 😮🤡xx
Thanks 👍
I was waiting for this video to come since you’re in America 🎉
hope you enjoy it
@@WalkWithMeTimsorry couldn’t be able to watch the stream since I had to go to my sisters piano lessons but I’ll watch it now!
Awesome video Tim, i have been waiting for this one and it didn't disappoint 😁❤️
Glad you enjoyed it!
This is so cool! Great video Tim :)
Thanks so much!
My best friend was young then but her parents managed that hotel back in early-mid 90’s for a year. It wasn’t a clown hotel back then. It’s so nostalgic for her to see that. It was also on Ghost Adventures for a haunted investigation motel. She remembers stuff happening back then.
Haha yes I remember this place being on Ghost Adventures 😂
That was epic Tim I've seen this place on lots of paranormal shows,I don't blame you for sleeping in your car I couldn't stay there 💗🌟👻
Tim, I live in Nevada and have been through Tonopah many times. I'm NOT afraid of clowns, but I have to admit that I walked in thinking to stay there... and walked out! The creepy clown vibe is something the owners cultivate but was a bit over the top for me. I see that you've already stayed at the Mizpah, it's our favorite stay location in Tonopah. Good video, I enjoy watching and adding destinations to my bucket list!
Excluding the clowns and creepy stuff, the motel actually seemed pretty alright! Compared to most motels in this country, it looked clean (from what I could tell), and fairly taken care of (except that vent fan. That needed to be fixed!).
I stayed there right before the current owners took over. It was definitely in rougher shape then. We heard a weird scraping noise at our door around 9:00 pm. It was a couple of sketchy looking people prying the clown sign off of the door. They said they were doing maintenance. The rundown vibe it had added to the creepiness. But I’d rather stay there now. It looks nicer.
I'm not frightened of clowns, but i wouldn't stay in any of the rooms. Waking up to that horrid clown piccys definitely not for me. You certainly braver than me Tim.
Wow the states really have everything, another brilliant video Tim.
Hi Tim Love this is personally would not stay in there ever . Your a brave Man. The little ball the man was throwing around was one of them we used to play with. That man loves his job he really takes it seriously. Great vlog thanks for sharing with us. Love to you as always Tracey 💕 xxxx
Great video Tim. I'd have rather of stayed in the room than in the car 😂 I do believe in the paranormal but that motel is just trying to create a spooky atmosphere. If it were a fairy themed motel then people would say they had seen fairies 🧚♀️ I so enjoy walking around cemeteries, reading the headstones and wondering what that person was like, what did they do for a living etc. To me it's like reading a biography. Looking for to some Halloween themed vlogs from you maybe?
You're braver than me, cemeteries creep me out and I feel uncomfortable being surrounded by dead people x.x
Hi Tim I was never frightened of clowns but now since watching the film IT & now this 😮I’d not even want one of those items in my home bad vibes !! No way would I have slept in there you’d still see the faces in the dark no way 😬you are brave Tim. I bet Gaby was glad she didn’t go 😬
ha ha yes she's never bothered anyway
I found this channel and find myself binge watching it, sooo good!
brilliant!Thank you
Love all your videos sir, this was a whole new level. Terrified of clowns so I must be a sadist as I think I’d enjoy staying there 😂 The staff seem like great characters. Hard pass on The Exorcist room though - pure nightmare fuel right there. Thank you for upping the ante with every place you stay and you’re definitely not a sellout. We have self preservation instincts for a reason. I’m very sceptical too (even wrote a research paper on what happens to our brains when we think we experience an anomalous event like ‘seeing a ghost’) but I think I’d probably bottle it too 🤷🏻♀️
A lot of those rooms would look pretty charming if you took all the "evil clown" hangings and books out of them, and maybe fixed the creaking of the doors. Even most of the clowns in the collection room looked sweet; it's just the three or four evil looking ones that kind of ruined the mood for me..though I'm sure it makes it cool for those people that like to see that kind of stuff. As far as the chills and other sensations go, the tugging on the leg by invisible spirits-I tend to get those once in a while without even visiting any famously haunted place lol Maybe you just become more aware of them because the place has been labelled as haunted. Though I don't blame you for sleeping in the car-I would have just asked for the paintings to be taken down and turned around so I didn't have to look at them. The beds in those rooms did look pretty comfy. It's possible the spirits living there don't like the creepy looking pictures either and that's why they're so active. But that's just my theory about it.
I have read about that place; it was great to see a video about it. Cheers
Never heard of this hotel, looks neat! Great video recap (:
I didn't stay here but I did visit the Museum and walked around the place. Nice and clean. Bought a couple of souvenirs and the next time I'm traveling to Vegas, I really need to spend at least one night there. And honestly, Hotels in Vegas can learn something from the Clown Hotel: Bring back the coffee pots and refrigerators into the rooms!
Great stuff! There was definitely a creepy vibe about that room but I’ve felt like that in ordinary motels. I think it’s the lack of light and low ceilings and somehow they never feel particularly safe. But it may also be the thought that there may be a serial killer in the room next door 😮
Clowns don’t bother me but that room is definitely not going to give anyone a relaxing stay. I’ll be giving it a miss. 😂
Been waiting for you to go here!
Great video! Love your channel!
Thanks so much!
Great video and SOOO scary!! Did you hear the shouting/screaming from a man at 18:26 when you left the room?
I had bad vibes as soon as you entered that room, I’m not surprised you slept in the car!!
I heard it on replay
It was the door creaking 😊
OK, I do believe in spirits (kinda. I'm open-minded) - but even I'm a bit skeptical with some things. Like how the EMF went red...near the ELECTRIC LIGHT. And a light flickering - well, wasn't there a storm that night? And it's a motel in the middle of nowhere? Power's bound to have a few surges. I have to say, the second guy you talked to - he's a born storyteller, and that probably played on your mind overnight.
yes agree with the EMF and said that but the light flicker the storm had passed and it did that later too
One thing that did freak me out, and this happened after I wrote that comment - at one point you were in the motel bedroom talking to the camera. Out of nowhere, the animals in my room went absolutely WILD. I have two budgies and a dog, and the budgies started squawking, yelling and flapping around the cage, and my dog went from lying quietly to sprinting out of my room as fast as he could. Now I'm not saying they sensed anything from a video, but I do wonder if some sound was picked up that's too high for us to hear, but not for birds and dogs. Might have to watch it again and see if they have the same reaction.@@WalkWithMeTim
Update: Not the EXACT same reaction, but the birds were playing close attention the whole time you were filming in the PennyWise room. Interesting....
Love your content , binge watching today
Awesome! Thank you!
It’s the graveyard that is the creepiest looking for me. Great video I enjoyed it!
I thought there was something mentioned about spooky Clowns!
Unexpected surprise for this evening Tim 😃
I'm prepared to be spooked 👻
watch with the lights off ;-)
@@WalkWithMeTim Cor blimey Tim.
I don't think I'm that brave 🤣
lmfao@@IvoryWhites
Good video Tim, as someone who struggles to believe in paranormal activity it does seem that they are trying to create a naritive for business
Exactly and gullible people will pay more money for a staying in what is barely a 2star property
Great vid, that guy making the bed was pretty scary!!!
This one was very interesting. Thanks Tim
Hold an emf meter up near a light “I’m getting a reading” 😂😂
as I did say to him lol
@@WalkWithMeTim love the channel though videos are brilliant! Keep it going!
😂😂😂😂
Struggling with this one Tim. I’m more listening than watching . Hate clowns so very much 🤮🤣
one of your best video yet if not the best
Good video as usual very enjoyable to watch
Glad you enjoyed it
A toothless hillbilly with keys to the room would be enough reason for me to sleep in the car.
Lol exactly, I was thinking "of course the ghost explanation guy looks like this"
Be nice!
Amazing videos :) at 18.28 did anyone hear that man yelling? Freaky
yes that was wired .. unless it came from another room
Really enjoying your videos. This place looks very cool and unique, never heard of it before. Definitely gives me spooky vibes, I don't think I could stay overnight there myself 😮
Great content lad
The dude showing you around is the scariest part .
now now be nice
Haha 😆
What a wacky place, no wonder you felt spooked. Great video!
Thanks for watching
Nice motel! I loved the bedspreads and cool decorations. I would like to go there!
There's something strange in the neighbourhood who you gonna call........... Clown busters. 🤡🤡🤡😂🤣
Tim, I love your content but this episode was too much for me haha. love it though
Awesome video - would definitely go as part of a West Coast trip.
Wow Tim it really is a scary place I loved it when the hand moved when ghost Adventures was filming I've never seen Zac move so fast the graveyard does it for me though love it 😊😊😊
I have to imagine this would be the equivalent to a spider themed hotel with thousands of arachnids freely roaming around the property. Idk how you all with a clown aversion are getting through this
