Vanessa Williams

Somebody had done a a lot of us were having issues with other unexplained things and there was a seance upstairs and they found out that one of the people that worked at a woman who apparently was one of the house cleaners had hung herself in the basement of the building and she was wandering from apartment to apartment.

Vanessa Williams

I'm going to go change my underwear.

Young Hollywood

Young Hollywood

Really? Well, thank you. I I beg to differ. He's very handsome. So 666 Park Avenue. We we brought out the chairs for you, the red velvet chairs to sort of make you feel like comfortable as if you were in New York. Now, where do you think the creepier and crazier things happen at Comic-Con or at 666 Park Avenue?

Dave Annable

I would have to say 666.

Vanessa Williams

Yeah, we got some unfortunate things that do.

Dave Annable

Yeah, there uh and this looks like a lot of fun, I'll be honest. Uh you know, we we've definitely seen a lot of fun costumes. On the way over we uh we saw a guy in a Speedo and boots. Now, I really don't know who that who he is or what superhero he is, but damn it, he looked great. He had a his abs were great.

Vanessa Williams

Yeah.

Dave Annable

I was like, I was like, who's your trainer, buddy?

Young Hollywood

How did it go?

Dave Annable

Perfect for Friday the 13th viewing. I mean, it was perfect. Yeah. And uh we were uh very pleasantly surprised uh cuz the room was packed. It was uh it was kind of a packed house in there.

Vanessa Williams

The Drake, known for the finest living in the city.

Dave Annable

I am taking you dress shopping.

Vanessa Williams

Well done, my dear.

Vanessa Williams

Home to 80 residents. Hi, I'm Louise. Jane, nice to meet you. You stop by for drinks sometime. It's a friendly building. But don't let the amenities fool you.

Young Hollywood

Obviously, if you two were to come here and dress up, you're not going to wear speedos. What would be your costume of choice?

Vanessa Williams

Ooh. Um, maybe Wonder Woman.

Young Hollywood

Oh, I like that. You would make a great. Any chance we can make that happen? Next year. Supernatural things happen on the show. I mean.

Vanessa Williams

Yeah, there you go.

Young Hollywood

What would you what would yours be?

Dave Annable

Uh you know, uh uh I'm a big Superman fan, although I don't think I could fill out the the suit.

Young Hollywood

Do either of you have any horrible landlord or haunting stories?

Vanessa Williams

Um, I've got a couple. Actually, one of my when I was at Syracuse, we lived in a building that was built back in the days of the Erie Canal. And um, watching TV one time and I had a a plant that was uh hanging plant. It is early 80s, late 70s, early 80s.

Young Hollywood

But Macrame?

Vanessa Williams

It was macrame fern hanging in the corner. And I had there was a mat that was um pinned up uh on the wall uh on top of a bookcase, and the TV was there, and uh we just saw the the fern just like someone brushed it and it swung started swinging back and forth. And mind you, there's not an open window anywhere in sight. So we looked at that and stared as you just see that? And then we watched TV again and uh then the entire uh mat fell down off the wall, hit some of the books and fell in front of us. And then there was a tie hanging on a on a another thumbnail over there. And it was like somebody had taken the tie and flicked it so it was going back and forth like a pendulum. Somebody had done a a lot of us were having issues with other unexplained things and there was a seance upstairs and they found out that one of the people that worked at a woman who apparently was one of the house cleaners had hung herself in the basement of the building and she was wandering from apartment to apartment.

Vanessa Williams

I'm going to go change my underwear. I think they tore this this building down now.

Dave Annable

Yeah. Um, yeah, well, same. I mean, we uh funny story. It was like last month. I was uh lay in bed with my wife. We were going to bed for the night and uh turn off the lights, watching television and about a half an hour later, all of a sudden the lights just went on. And I was like, be the man. I was like, okay, you know, the guy in the speedo. I was like, yeah, right. I was like, it's probably like a breaker thing. And then I walked over and noticed that the switch was all the way up. And I was like, okay, I'm going to go use the restroom. And uh I was like, be cool, be cool, be cool, be cool cuz she was freaking out. But so yeah, I definitely do think whatever it is, you know, I I think there's probably something out there. you know.

Young Hollywood
