[00:00] Kayak gets my flight, hotel and rental car right, so I can tune out travel advice that's just plain wrong.

Speaker 2:
[00:07] Bro, Skycoin, way better than points.

Speaker 3:
[00:10] Never fly during a Scorpio full moon.

Speaker 4:
[00:13] Just tell the manager you'll sue. Instant room upgrade.

Speaker 1:
[00:17] Stop taking bad travel advice. Start comparing hundreds of sites with Kayak and get your trip right.

Speaker 4:
[00:23] Bad advice? You talking to me?

Speaker 1:
[00:25] Kayak, got that right.

Speaker 4:
[00:29] So, you're saying with Hilton Honors I can use points for a free night stay anywhere?

Speaker 3:
[00:34] Anywhere.

Speaker 4:
[00:35] What about fancy places like the Canopy in Paris?

Speaker 3:
[00:38] Yeah, Hilton Honors, baby.

Speaker 4:
[00:40] Or relaxing sanctuaries like the Conrad and Touloume?

Speaker 3:
[00:43] Hilton Honors, baby.

Speaker 4:
[00:45] What about the five-star Waldorf Astoria in the Maldives?

Speaker 3:
[00:48] Are you gonna do this for all 9,000 properties?

Speaker 5:
[00:52] When you want points that can take you anywhere, anytime, it matters where you stay. Hilton, for the stay. Book your spring break now.

[01:02] Hey folks, we'll be back with new episodes of Someone Just Like You next month. But today, we're thrilled to share the pilot episode of a new show we love. It's a serialized supernatural satire called Haunted, The Van Buren Manor. I genuinely dig this show a lot. It's actually laugh-out-loud funny. I mean, like, laugh-out-loud like a weirdo wearing earbuds kind of funny. When their staged ghost hunter investigations lead them to the mysterious Van Buren Manor, the so-called Spirit Sleuths must confront their first real haunting. Trapped inside, their only hope of survival is to unravel a long buried mystery and stop the manor's vengeful matriarch from carrying out a dark plot a century in the making. One that may cut closer to home than they ever imagined. Biting, witty dialogue, absurd humor, and deeply vulnerable character moments, this is a story that reflects the messy, challenging journey of finding yourself, your people and your purpose. If you're looking for a new horror comedy fix, then I recommend checking out Haunted The Van Buren Manor. After you listen to the pilot episode, be sure to hop over onto the main feed of Haunted, where the entire first season will be available to hear. Enjoy!

Speaker 7:
[02:34] Hello, my name is Sebastian McCann, and welcome to another episode of Spirit Sleuths. Today, our team enters the infamous Van Buren Manor, where a century ago, on one fateful night, a tragic fire claimed the lives of 14 innocent souls, souls that many believe still burn within these walls, making this estate our most haunted, God damn it, Phoebe! Sorry. That was a perfect take.

Speaker 8:
[03:02] Just pick it up from there, Bash.

Speaker 7:
[03:04] No, no, back to the top.

Speaker 8:
[03:05] Okay, but…

Speaker 7:
[03:06] Isaac?

Speaker 8:
[03:07] Back to the top. Again.

Speaker 7:
[03:09] Wait, Harper!

Speaker 8:
[03:10] Oh, for sake.

Speaker 9:
[03:11] Yeah?

Speaker 7:
[03:11] We updated the Wikipedia page, right?

Speaker 9:
[03:13] Yeah, yeah, dilapidated grounds, unexplained noises, screams of the dead, the usual. Oh, and the sound of soft weeping that echoes through the overgrown gardens at dusk. For some specificity. And drama.

Speaker 7:
[03:26] Great. Amazing. Maybe it's better to start there in the intro? You know, as we walk through the courtyard?

Speaker 8:
[03:31] Or, and hear me out on this, the way you practice it a million times works great.

Speaker 10:
[03:36] Oh, oh, if we're looking for a fresh way to start, I actually found a local missing persons report from the 90s. Super low info, we could, with some creative liberty, connect his disappearance back to the Van Buren Manor decades later.

Speaker 7:
[03:52] Right. Great isn't good enough, Isaac. We need it to be perfect.

Speaker 10:
[03:55] The reason there wasn't much info is because the person was unhoused.

Speaker 7:
[03:59] We have a chance here.

Speaker 10:
[04:00] After he vanished, the town pretty much just ignored the fact...

Speaker 7:
[04:03] To build up this obscure piece of garbage, gothic manner in the middle of nowhere into something beautiful and everlasting. To make it compelling, to tell its story like no one else can.

Speaker 8:
[04:14] So to make something up, you mean?

Speaker 7:
[04:16] Yes. Exactly. Because we're storytellers. Right.

Speaker 9:
[04:22] Right. Oh, I've got it. What about starting with a quote from a local? Someone sad and lonely, you know, because they live here?

Speaker 7:
[04:30] I feel like we already kind of ran that well dry in season two.

Speaker 8:
[04:32] Not to mention we almost got sued for that episode at the Crandall Place outside Milwaukee.

Speaker 7:
[04:36] That woman was senile. For all her family knew, she very well could have had an affair with that local hard-hearing groundskeeper who may or may not have been tormented in a near deafness and insanity by the bodies he helped bury.

Speaker 9:
[04:47] Totally.

Speaker 7:
[04:48] Let's just keep setting up inside so we're ready for sundown. Isaac and I, we're all third take of the intro.

Speaker 10:
[04:53] Seventh.

Speaker 7:
[04:54] Where's Phoebe?

Speaker 10:
[04:55] Directly in front of you.

Speaker 7:
[04:56] Hi. Listen, can you tell Carl when he's finished positioning all the house cameras that we should do a run through of our first setups? I want to get into it right away. Sure. Oh, and can you do sweet for rat droppings? We don't need a repeat of the Tory cabin, right?

Speaker 9:
[05:10] Right.

Speaker 7:
[05:10] It's just, I know it gets a little harder in the dark, so just looking out for you. Honestly, it's like she doesn't even want to do the work.

Speaker 9:
[05:20] You know, I would help her, but that truly sounds miserable. So if you need me, I'll be doing literally anything else.

Speaker 8:
[05:24] Okay.

Speaker 7:
[05:25] So back to the top. Isaac.

Speaker 8:
[05:28] Yeah, sorry. Before we dive back in, we should probably discuss the- Right. Back to the top.

Speaker 7:
[05:39] Desolate decaying grounds, wails of the departed, a dark fiery history never seems to burn away. This is what awaits us tonight, here in the infamous Van Buren Manor. Hi, my name is Sebastian McCann, and welcome to the terrifying premiere- God damn it, Phoebe!

Speaker 6:
[06:17] Haunted, The Van Buren Manor. Chapter One, The Manor.

Speaker 11:
[06:31] So, if we follow Harper back in and move through the foyer down along the courtyard and into the living room.

Speaker 7:
[06:38] Can you reset this EMF reader? It's been bugging out since we got here.

Speaker 8:
[06:41] I got it. Continue.

Speaker 11:
[06:44] Moving back into the living room, we should be able to take Harper right into setup foray.

Speaker 7:
[06:48] Great, great. Big Harper tears. She screams outside, collects herself, comes back in.

Speaker 8:
[06:53] Sorry. Sorry. Doorbell still works though, somehow.

Speaker 7:
[06:57] I love it. This house is perfect.

Speaker 11:
[06:59] Cool, great. I'll just let you know when we have everything fixed and up and running.

Speaker 7:
[07:03] Carl.

Speaker 11:
[07:03] What?

Speaker 7:
[07:03] Wait, fixed? We're not up and running, Isaac?

Speaker 8:
[07:07] Just walk with me. Look, pretty courtyard hallway, overgrown, dusty, very spooky. OK, listen, the important thing to note here is that setup is already ahead of schedule. All the full spectrum cameras and house mics have been positioned throughout the perfect, your words, manor. But, see, even just here in the living room. Right, so, one in that back corner and one hidden above the fireplace over that disturbingly large charred portrait of some woman.

Speaker 7:
[07:44] Yeah, I meant to ask, does that feel foreboding?

Speaker 8:
[07:46] Like when you look at it, it sends a shiver down your spine that makes you almost want to shit yourself or run or both.

Speaker 7:
[07:52] Exactly. Close-ups on that for B-roll.

Speaker 8:
[07:55] As I was saying, we've got the sound systems prepped and almost all our tech setups on standby.

Speaker 7:
[08:00] Got it. What's not working?

Speaker 8:
[08:02] Nothing. It's just, you know, it's a slight small thing, like a hiccup, really. I mean, it's with the generator.

Speaker 7:
[08:10] What?

Speaker 8:
[08:10] That Phoebe and Carl are already working on.

Speaker 7:
[08:13] Oh, awesome. Phoebe, Phoebe Duncan is on the case. Thank God. Why on earth would I worry?

Speaker 8:
[08:17] And Carl. Plus, we always have the van as a backup.

Speaker 7:
[08:21] Isaac, it's the power generator.

Speaker 8:
[08:23] I know.

Speaker 7:
[08:23] Which powers everything. Every setup, every camera, every...

Speaker 8:
[08:27] Yeah, I got that. It's fine. OK, everything's going to be fine. Good.

Speaker 9:
[08:32] Great.

Speaker 8:
[08:32] Even.

Speaker 9:
[08:33] Perfect. How once maybe we could pick a place that isn't a total dead zone. Oh, Bash, babe, we should probably do touch ups before you film anything else because you're looking, well, to be honest, pale and clammy. Oh, OK. And a little bit sweaty too.

Speaker 8:
[08:48] Yeah, I'll just leave you to it. Check out the gen and... Oh, set the EMF reader.

Speaker 9:
[08:56] Right here.

Speaker 8:
[08:57] It's reset. So you shouldn't go off or anything.

Speaker 7:
[09:00] That's great, buddy.

Speaker 8:
[09:02] OK, bye.

Speaker 7:
[09:03] That was weird.

Speaker 9:
[09:04] Well, I don't know what to tell you. Isaac's weird. Sit. All I'm saying is, there's got to be an abandoned mall in a city somewhere. Retail dying and all. Maybe that could be haunted. Doesn't even have to be like a major city, you know? Something quaint, like Chicago.

Speaker 7:
[09:19] Yeah, but...

Speaker 9:
[09:20] Maybe your sister's apartment in Queens. Or is that too depressing to believe even ghosts would bother?

Speaker 7:
[09:24] No, I have always said that.

Speaker 9:
[09:26] Bash, what is going on?

Speaker 7:
[09:28] What do you mean?

Speaker 9:
[09:28] I'm being very charming and getting nada. And you were unusually quiet the whole drive up here.

Speaker 7:
[09:33] I was practicing my intro.

Speaker 9:
[09:34] You didn't comment on Phoebe's new Red Cross.

Speaker 7:
[09:36] Okay, those speak for themselves.

Speaker 9:
[09:38] That's true. But at our Sonic stop, you only ordered one burger and a side of plain fries, which you then shared with Phoebe.

Speaker 7:
[09:45] That one's, yeah, that one's fair.

Speaker 9:
[09:46] And now you're brushing me off.

Speaker 7:
[09:48] I'm sorry, babe. I just want to get this one right is all. This manor is basically a blank slate and done right, it could seriously take us to the next level. Come here.

Speaker 9:
[10:01] So that's also why you've been gossiping off to the side of Isaac for two weeks about this place?

Speaker 7:
[10:08] What are you talking about?

Speaker 9:
[10:09] We are anything but subtle, Sebastian. And you've been plotting and scheming and...

Speaker 7:
[10:14] Yeah. Anyway, not to brush you off at all in the slightest, but are we done here?

Speaker 9:
[10:22] Look at me, Bash. Relax. We're here. We're doing our thing. Like always, the manor is going to be...

Speaker 7:
[10:30] God! What...

Speaker 9:
[10:32] what we need it to be? Did the shutters just slam shut on their own?

Speaker 7:
[10:37] This must have been some kind of draft.

Speaker 9:
[10:38] In this stale room? And I mean that in every way you could define it.

Speaker 7:
[10:42] God, it would have been so good if we got that on camera. Damn. I wonder if we can recreate it. Add like a spring to the shutters, set off with a timer. If they just open again.

Speaker 9:
[10:52] Oh, have Phoebe try it later. She's weirdly strong, like an ox or a dung beetle.

Speaker 7:
[10:58] Oh, we could also add like a huge gust of air or like a scream of some kind. You know what? I'm just gonna go ask.

Speaker 9:
[11:05] Isaac, yeah, yeah, yeah. Deep breaths, Harper. This can still launch your career off a cliff or maybe you'll get lucky and... Huh. How strange.

Speaker 8:
[11:26] They just slammed closed all on their own. Is Harper okay?

Speaker 7:
[11:30] She's fine. Of course she's fine. It was the window shutters across the room. But I'm thinking, we recreate it.

Speaker 8:
[11:37] Of course you are.

Speaker 7:
[11:38] For when Harper comes back inside, we can call it, call 4B.

Speaker 8:
[11:41] Okay, we have a 4B, Ash.

Speaker 7:
[11:43] Okay, 4A1.

Speaker 8:
[11:45] Okay, we've already worked out all the setups with Carl.

Speaker 7:
[11:48] All I'm suggesting is one change.

Speaker 8:
[11:50] Yeah, but it's never just one change with you, is it?

Speaker 7:
[11:52] Whoa, okay, spicy.

Speaker 8:
[11:55] So, you don't want to add a gush of wind or some electricity or a ghostly voice via the spirit box?

Speaker 7:
[12:01] I... Electricity could be like really cool.

Speaker 8:
[12:04] Case in point. Okay, can you just come in here for a sec? Alright, look, Ash, you're my best friend, so I'm going to level with you. You're spiraling more than usual. The others are going to know something's up. You're right, I am.

Speaker 7:
[12:20] Harper's already suspicious. She mentioned we've been off to the side a lot, whispering about things.

Speaker 8:
[12:24] What do you mean, like, what we're doing right now?

Speaker 7:
[12:26] Oh, yeah, so we should probably cut back on that.

Speaker 8:
[12:29] Or, and this is just a thought, we tell the others what's going on, about, you know, what we're planning.

Speaker 7:
[12:36] No, okay, no, we've been through this. What if they can't handle it? What if we get caught? The less they know, the better. I don't want to put them at risk. They don't deserve it.

Speaker 8:
[12:46] Okay, you're right, and that was actually kind of sweet.

Speaker 7:
[12:50] Yeah, well, this will be good for all of us. When it works, you have everything ready?

Speaker 8:
[12:56] It's all set up for the end of the night.

Speaker 7:
[12:57] Good, a grand finale. Until then, we need to go about business as usual. Just play cool.

Speaker 8:
[13:03] Less secret sidebars.

Speaker 7:
[13:05] Exactly, okay, great meeting.

Speaker 8:
[13:08] I'll go out first.

Speaker 7:
[13:09] And maybe you wait a few minutes before.

Speaker 8:
[13:10] Bash?

Speaker 7:
[13:11] What?

Speaker 8:
[13:12] I think they got the generator fixed.

Speaker 7:
[13:14] Oh, great, wait, how do you know?

Speaker 8:
[13:16] The tiny red light on that camera in the corner means it's on, recording everything that we just. Oh, so you'll make sure the footage gets deleted, yep.

Speaker 7:
[13:26] Great, see, we make a great team. I was supposed to go. Okay, real funny, guys. I'm glad we got things working, though, seriously. And that was basically all I was asking for with the shutters, so. Hello? Harper? You rehearsing? Because I'm not not impressed.

Speaker 2:
[13:56] What the?

Speaker 8:
[14:05] Tell the others what's going on. You know what we're planning?

Speaker 7:
[14:07] What if we get caught? I put them at risk. I put them at risk. I put them at risk.

Speaker 2:
[14:13] Leave and never come back. She wants me to go, then she can come and tell me herself.

Speaker 8:
[14:26] That was pretty good.

Speaker 9:
[14:27] Oh, hey, thank you. Yeah, I want to be a little raspy for tonight. The acoustics out here are incredible. They kind of remind me of my grandfather's villa in Venice. How is...

Speaker 8:
[14:39] You go.

Speaker 9:
[14:40] Everything good inside, I mean?

Speaker 8:
[14:43] Yeah, shop talk and all that.

Speaker 9:
[14:45] Yeah, naturally.

Speaker 8:
[14:46] How about with you out here? I mean...

Speaker 9:
[14:51] Yeah. Yeah, sun's about down, though, so...

Speaker 8:
[14:55] We should have our team meeting.

Speaker 10:
[14:56] Or maybe...

Speaker 7:
[14:58] Okay, what the fuck are you all playing at? What?

Speaker 10:
[15:01] Us?

Speaker 8:
[15:01] No, nothing. What are you talking about?

Speaker 9:
[15:03] Smooth.

Speaker 7:
[15:03] I heard Harper scream.

Speaker 9:
[15:04] Oh, pretty good, right?

Speaker 7:
[15:06] Yeah, but how did you... With the crying and the radio and the voices? What? What?

Speaker 9:
[15:11] I was just doing my vocal exercises, Bash.

Speaker 7:
[15:13] Of course. Yeah.

Speaker 11:
[15:14] No.

Speaker 7:
[15:15] Good.

Speaker 11:
[15:15] Good.

Speaker 7:
[15:15] That's what you're...

Speaker 11:
[15:16] Good.

Speaker 8:
[15:17] What happened with the radio?

Speaker 7:
[15:18] Nothing. The radio?

Speaker 9:
[15:19] What?

Speaker 7:
[15:19] What?

Speaker 9:
[15:20] What?

Speaker 7:
[15:20] All good.

Speaker 8:
[15:21] You've literally just said something.

Speaker 7:
[15:22] Oh my God. Let it go, man. Jesus.

Speaker 9:
[15:25] Okay. You two are being hella weird. So to move us on, my prep packet, there wasn't a list of season sponsors.

Speaker 7:
[15:31] Oh, those. Yeah. It's just, those are...

Speaker 8:
[15:34] They're the same. Same as last season.

Speaker 9:
[15:38] Yep.

Speaker 7:
[15:38] Exactly. That's what I was going to say.

Speaker 8:
[15:39] I just said it. But we're on the same page about it.

Speaker 9:
[15:42] Yeah.

Speaker 7:
[15:43] And okay.

Speaker 9:
[15:43] Okay. Yeah. I will work those in.

Speaker 1:
[15:47] Perfect. Yeah.

Speaker 9:
[15:48] Maybe in the meantime, you work in some sage burning. Not so much for the manor, but for whatever is going on with this awkwardness.

Speaker 11:
[15:59] Hey, have you guys seen Phoebe? She's supposed to be helping me set up the guest bedroom upstairs. It's a tricky one. We have this like wire.

Speaker 9:
[16:06] Let me stop you right there, Carl. I don't care.

Speaker 11:
[16:09] Okay. Well, Phoebe's been MIA for like 30 minutes.

Speaker 8:
[16:13] She's not on any of the cams?

Speaker 11:
[16:15] No, not that I could see.

Speaker 7:
[16:16] But you've been watching, though, and listening?

Speaker 11:
[16:20] Not closely. Why? I don't know.

Speaker 2:
[16:23] Why?

Speaker 7:
[16:24] Let it go, man.

Speaker 2:
[16:25] Jesus.

Speaker 11:
[16:25] Okay. I guess I could come through some of the earlier footage.

Speaker 2:
[16:29] No.

Speaker 11:
[16:30] No.

Speaker 7:
[16:30] I mean, she can't have gotten far, right? It's Phoebe we're talking about here. Come on. She probably found a dead plant on the ground and is in the middle of a conversation with her.

Speaker 8:
[16:39] Okay. So how does that make any sense?

Speaker 7:
[16:41] I don't know. Let it go, man.

Speaker 8:
[16:42] Stop. Stop.

Speaker 7:
[16:43] Isaac here can handle the footage. We, being the rest of us, should just all go out and look for her.

Speaker 9:
[16:51] Really? There's still a lot to take care of.

Speaker 7:
[16:53] You'll have time for last looks, Harper. Oh.

Speaker 9:
[16:55] Okay. Well, yeah. Then let's go find her. I mean, really? She's locked in a room somewhere. You just wait.

Speaker 7:
[17:01] Okay.

Speaker 8:
[17:01] Then I'll be in the van going through that earlier footage to find Phoebe, obviously, for her. Okay.

Speaker 7:
[17:12] Bye.

Speaker 8:
[17:13] Bye.

Speaker 7:
[17:20] Any luck?

Speaker 9:
[17:21] Nothing around here.

Speaker 7:
[17:23] Not back either.

Speaker 9:
[17:24] Carl's upstairs working again, but he's already checked those rooms. He did mention he couldn't get into the primary suite though. You don't think?

Speaker 7:
[17:30] Nah, that door has been jammed shut since we got here. We gotta break it down. I mean, we've done that before, and I don't think any of the ghosts are gonna mind.

Speaker 9:
[17:38] Uh-huh. No, it's just, have you noticed that everything in the manor seems pretty well preserved? I mean, this house was engulfed in a huge fire, right? That's what the county record that Phoebe pulled said, but it's still standing. Every room, every wall, every door and window shutter.

Speaker 7:
[17:59] Almost like the fire didn't destroy so much as it fossilized the place. Doesn't matter. When we're done here, all anyone's gonna know about are the fires that took down the great and infamous Van Buren Manor.

Speaker 8:
[18:11] Guys, I think I got something.

Speaker 9:
[18:12] Oh, about what? Phoebe. Right, shit. Sorry, right, Phoebe.

Speaker 8:
[18:17] Yeah, I was combing through the footage we have since the house cams came back on. Seems like she went down into the cellar 45 minutes ago.

Speaker 7:
[18:25] And hasn't come up?

Speaker 8:
[18:27] That would be correct, Sebastian. She has not come up.

Speaker 7:
[18:29] And you checked all the footage?

Speaker 8:
[18:31] Yes, Bash.

Speaker 7:
[18:31] You checked like everything?

Speaker 8:
[18:33] I know what you mean.

Speaker 7:
[18:34] With the Elvin?

Speaker 8:
[18:34] Yes, everything was checked.

Speaker 9:
[18:36] So, Phoebe, I would just like to point out that I told you all she accidentally locked herself somewhere. I mean, Jesus, it's pitch black down there.

Speaker 7:
[18:48] Maybe she was looking for another way out.

Speaker 8:
[18:50] The door wasn't locked, though.

Speaker 7:
[18:52] Right. Anyway, we should just go down. Yeah, David, we should go down. I was getting there.

Speaker 9:
[18:59] So... Hey, uh, Pheebs?

Speaker 7:
[19:04] I mean, she knows we're on a tight schedule, right?

Speaker 9:
[19:06] Phoebe, sweetie, we're gonna do our team meeting. So, if you could just come on back up out of the complete and utter darkness... Well, we tried.

Speaker 7:
[19:19] Yeah, we could just do the team meeting without her.

Speaker 9:
[19:21] I think so. Let's just shut this and... Hey, guys.

Speaker 2:
[19:24] Oh, come on, dude.

Speaker 9:
[19:25] Why have you been down in the cellar for so long?

Speaker 10:
[19:27] I just went down there, like, a minute ago to check for rat droppings. Like I was asked to do, by the way.

Speaker 9:
[19:32] Phoebe, it's been almost an hour.

Speaker 10:
[19:35] Oh, oh, you guys are messing with me. Okay, got it. Got it.

Speaker 7:
[19:41] Wait, Phoebe, this is not a joke.

Speaker 10:
[19:43] Let's just get into the tea meeting so when the sun goes down...

Speaker 7:
[19:48] There's no way it's already dark out.

Speaker 8:
[19:50] How is this possible? I literally just came inside and it was light out. What the hell?

Speaker 7:
[19:56] Again with the shutters? Is this going to keep happening? Can we get, like, a steady cam up or something?

Speaker 10:
[20:02] That was upstairs.

Speaker 8:
[20:04] Uh, Carl? You good, bro?

Speaker 9:
[20:05] It's a coincidence. As it's coincidences.

Speaker 10:
[20:09] Statistically, the likelihood of coincidences...

Speaker 9:
[20:10] Oh, shut up, Phoebe!

Speaker 10:
[20:11] Okay.

Speaker 7:
[20:13] All these shutters are jammed, too.

Speaker 9:
[20:15] Try that other window.

Speaker 10:
[20:17] No, it won't open.

Speaker 9:
[20:18] Are you doing this, Phoebe?

Speaker 12:
[20:19] What?

Speaker 10:
[20:20] No!

Speaker 9:
[20:20] Is this all some kind of sick joke?

Speaker 12:
[20:22] It's not.

Speaker 13:
[20:22] It's...

Speaker 12:
[20:22] I'm not... What are you talking about?

Speaker 9:
[20:32] Are we actually gonna die in here?
