After watching High Spirits, we went all in on the silly and spooky combos. This episode goes many places, but one of them is to the Clown Motel in Tonopah, Nevada. Here’s a picture from the visit Julia made back in 2018.

Okay, so we watched Peter O’Toole performing Hamlet backwards in this Hut Pizza commercial.
Then we imagined being very rich and flying Pan Am First and Clipper class.
Pan Am wasn’t just for the ultra rich though! Pan Am Budget—You CAN go to Europe
We wondered how this movie was actually advertised, so we watched the High Spirits Trailer
Answer: it surprisingly gives a rundown of most of the plot, and makes it seem more coherent than it is!
After that, we wanted to see more haunted hotels, so we watched a news broadcast in two parts. Ghost hotel part 1
annnnnnnd Ghost hotel part 2
After this was when Julia told the Clown Motel story, and Geoffrey told the story of the time he went on a ghost tour in Salem, Massachusetts with a group including Kim from the Return to Oz episode and Tori from The Peanut Butter Solution episode. Have you ever visited a haunted hotel, been on a memorable ghost tour, or been burned for witchcraft just because you made aloe vera? We’d love to hear all about it!
