Ghost Stories with Jordan Peterson

we ask all of our guests if they have a ghost stories supernatural experiences UFO sightings anything like that you don't need to get to the end if you don't you can say no that's perfectly fine but do you have any supernatural experiences mm-hmm you do all right am i sharing it I have to figure out which I'll show you the one that's funnier I think okay okay so I went to Nashville and to a scientific conference and I looked online to to book hotel we booked a hotel and then I went down to Nashville and my former graduate advisor was coming staying in the same hotel but he didn't come with me and student of mine who had become a professor was also coming into town okay so so got to this hotel and I didn't know that Nashville that had been hollowed out like the downtown wasn't good there are lots of abandoned buildings it was pretty crime-ridden not a fun place there trying to put it back together but the hotel that I had rented was sort of in the middle of this and it was the 70s hotel and so it's kind of in a sketchy neighborhood so that was interesting so I walked in but the lobby was beautiful like they had completely redone it there were replicas of like Renaissance paintings on the roof it was all marble it was really quite impressive and then right next door to the lobby there was this huge restaurant that probably sat three four hundred people really big restaurant and I looked in the restaurant there wasn't a single person there and there was this steam table you know full of stainless steel trays huge trays and all there was was like mac and cheese and green beans and know what green beans are like if they're like soaking in hot water for like eight hours you don't want to eat those things so that's all there was and I thought that's kind of weird and there was no people in there no staff no people that's weird so anyways I checked in and I went up and the rest of the hotel really hadn't been fixed up since the 1970s so it smelled like smoke the carpets were old I went into my room I was kind of ratty but it was okay put my computer on the bed put my my luggage on the bed and called my graduate student and went out to have some barbecue so that's fine so then I came back and got into my room and my graduate student came along this was Colin the guy who invented that personality test and I walked in and all the drawers in the cabinets were open like so there was a bureau four drawers and four drawers side to side and there was the little table between the beds and there was a desk and all of the drawers were opened and not just a little bit open like completely open but my computer was still on the bed and so was the luggage and I thought well that's weird I didn't open those damn drawers and if someone came in here to steal something why didn't they take the computer that would be the logical thing to do so we closed all the drawers and then we thought well maybe like maybe a big truck went by and like that's a pretty stupid I thought this is but we couldn't think of anything else yeah we kind of shook the cabinet to see if we could get the door stole and we'd shut all the drawers and when we turned around the damn drawer on the desk was open again so we shot that so okay so I had opened the drawer was open in the middle little cabinet between the beds too and there was a Gideon Bible in there and it was open and it was open to the line that says ye yea though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I will fear no evil and I thought well that was pretty interesting and close that closed the door and my graduate we talked for a while graduate student left and I thought I didn't really think much of it I thought it was weird you know but but it whatever was weird so then I went to sleep in the middle of night I woke up and I thought you know that wasn't just weird that was really weird it was like someone was in my room right because otherwise why were the drawers open and why were they open like what's going on and well and so the next morning I went downstairs to this girl black girl behind the counter and I I walked up and I said look I don't want to alarm you but I went out last night and when I came back into my room all the drawers are open I think someone was in my room and she said I don't want to alarm you cut you know this place is haunted and I always come to work with a baseball bat and I thought it was it was surreal right and it was it was it was like a movie moment it was ridiculous so I went talk to my graduate advisor an older guy who had been in the hotel and he said that the night before he had taken a shower and when he came out there were two drawers open in his in his room and so he's damned RORO and I'll finish this off with the other weird part of this story which isn't quite so ghostly but it's also extremely weird and it just gives you a sense of the place so we went for breakfast the next day and I took two different graduate students for breakfast we went to this restaurant right next door and there was no one there and there was no same one in the hotel same one they very fancy green marble like it might have been quite a place back in the nineteen seventy so we're sitting there and sitting there and sitting there and sitting there for like half an hour and finally this waiter walks by and we stop me say well do you have any menus he says well we don't have menus and I said well what do you mean you don't have menus he said you can just order anything you want yeah you just order anything you want okay so we ordered eggs and breakfast we'll have breakfast how would that be so then we're sitting there talking and we waited and we waited and we waited and we waited it was like 45 minutes 50 minutes there no one's there finally he comes out with these plates and he puts the plate down in front of me and it's quite nicely garnished and there's two eggs on it and they are I swear they are raw well they have not been caught and I looked at him and I looked in the plate and there was the same with the other two people that were there they gave them eggs that would had just been put on the plate I said well correct work right on it wasn't like they were undercooked they weren't they just some clear on the top they were raw right but nicely decorated sure I thought so he'll help we said okay look look like we called him back or we said you know these eggs are wrong they're not comped it's like what's going on he said oh oh we'll fix that so and he went off into the kitchen and it was like 20 minutes later and he brought it back and they were cooked okay so we've been in there for like two hours by that point late for the conference and I was laughing to my to my students I said well the only thing that could possibly top that off as if it was ridiculously expensive he brought the bill it was like eighty three dollars well yeah so what was he a ghost I don't know well he wasn't that Raider that's for sure and he certainly wasn't a cop [Music]
