sam and colby had told you that later tonight the four of you would explore an abandoned haunted hospital down the road from your home town that the four of you were staying at. the four of you including yourself, malia, and the two famous you-tubers.
“i seriously don’t think this is a good idea..” you whisper, packing the essentials that are needed into the black heavy backpack you would be carrying. “well someone mentioned that we should come here to check out this hospital, they say it’s real legit.” colby said. “yeah. it 𝙞𝙨.” you retorted. “my friends and i went one night, one of them took one wrong turn and fell through the floorboards.”
sam and colby both looked at each other than shrugged, going back to putting equipment in their bags. “and, my grandma told me to stay away from that place. it’s bad vibes. serious bad vibes. bad omen. one time, when she went—, the next day she got into a freak car accident. three people died but she survived.” you finished. “that might’ve been something different..” sam said. “might’ve. but our town is probably the safest of drivers here, lot of old people drive here and they’re always under the speed limit.” silence filled the living room once more, before stuffing of the bags continued.
you finished your packing, before adding two bags of your favorite chips and four water bottles into the extra pockets. “i’m gonna go use the restroom before we leave,” you told your group. malia nodded, getting up as well. “i’ll also do that as well.” she followed after you, and she waited for you to be done. you did your business, and then she did her’s.
“so out of all the haunted places we’ve ever explored with them,” she started, washing her hands. “you won’t do this one?” she asked. “i’ve just had super bad experiences with it, like i’ve said. but they want content, so i got to suck it up i guess.., if anything happens though it’s on them and i will be so mad at the two.” you muttered the end. “understandable.” she said.
the two of you walked back together, and the boys had at least two bags in both hands, two more bags are sitting down still and you grab one as malia takes the other. the four of you walk out of the hotel room, heading down the stairs since the elevator was broken. colby and malia took the lead while you and sam were taking sweet time.., not just because you were slowing down on purpose. “are you okay?” sam asked you, stopping at floor two.
“i’m.. not okay with this, but it’s for the fan who requested this. seriously don’t know why they requested this if they know what happened to this place.” you shuddered. sam wrapped an arm around you, rubbed it slightly. “if anything happens you know i will always be there by your side. this video we aren’t splitting up, i mean colby and i are but we will be with you and malia.” he assured you. “by the way,” you announced to the rest of the group. “there might be homeless people inside, when my old friends and i went, i know i for sure saw at least one inside a room.” colby and malia nodded, while sam stood by your side.
the four of you got into sam’s white tesla car, the gear being placed in the trunk of it. sam and colby sat in the front, while you and malia sat behind them. colby picked the camera up, and just like any other video.. “what’s up guys it’s sam and colby!!” he started. “today, we are going to visit and explore this old abandoned, haunted, hospital!” colby spoke. “and where did we here this from? our lovely fan of the week, [samandcolby2000s] had mentioned in one of our videos that this hospital is one of the most haunted buildings in this town. there are others, but they said this one was nothing like the rest.” sam announced.
“before we get started with this video, please welcome our amazing, spectacular guests, malia and yn!” sam clapped and whooped for you both. “our lovely girlfriends.” colby nodded with a proud smile. “we aren’t gonna name the location of this hospital, just for the sake of yn’s safety and her family’s as well, and why we say that is because it’s her home town!” sam exclaimed. “so [samandcolby2000s], if you could please delete your comment when this video gets out, it would mean the world to all of us! and please don’t spread where her hometown is as well.” colby added.
you thanked them both, and then they continued explaining the place. colby turned off the camera, and then sam started up the car and started driving for about seven minutes before the huge white hospital came into view. colby picked up the camera again, turning on. “this hospital has been dated that it opened in the 1900s, and it got abandoned in the 1990s.” sam unfolded the history of the hospital’s opening and closing. “no one really knows why it got shut down, it just did.” colby said. “actually-” you placed your index finger up and pretended to pick your glasses up like that nerd meme, making everyone look at you. sam chuckled.
“the reason why it got abandoned was because another hospital opened, bigger and better. i was born in that hospital, my grandmother still to this day also works in that hospital as well.” you smiled. “awe, cute story.” malia gushed. “everyone from this hospital moved to that hospital, it was closer to the locals as well.”
you continued, “plus it was brand new, and just got that sunshine feeling… even though hospitals can be upsetting, this specific hospital people were always tense, up on their feet, focused real hard, a lot of major freak moments as well. there was one time my mom told me, that when she was in the hospital waiting for her mom, she felt a presence behind her.
“it was closing hour, and only three people were in one of the side wings. that being my mom, my grandma, and my grandma’s coworker. my mom turned around and saw a long, shadowed figure standing in the middle of the hallway. that is the only ever time she felt the paranormal. she never stepped in this place again. always waited outside for her mom.” you ended. the three friends of yours had their mouths open in agape, eyes widened. “you didn’t tell us that story! you should’ve started with that one before the others..” sam excitedly said, a smile on his face.
“yeah, now that one is a true horror story for sure!” colby nodded. “the ones watching this, yn told us two other stories but they weren’t as crazy as the one she just now informed us about.” malia stated, “if you guys 𝙙𝙤 want to hear those stories, i’ll post it either on twitter or threads! just let me know in the comments.” you smiled. “alright.. back to the building! look at how crazy it looks. it’s all boarded up. how are we gonna get inside?” colby asked. “if i am correct…” you started off, “there’s rocks that climb to the second floor, then a concrete balcony that leads inside to the building. hopefully the window that my friends and i went through isn’t boarded up yet.” you mention. sam looked at you, “can you give us the directions to it?” he asked. you nodded.
the four of you sneakily walk to the other side of the hospital, but when you get there, your hoodie string attached to a dead tree branch making you trip and fall onto your butt. “ouch.” you mutter. “are you okay?” sam asked you, offering his hand. you nodded, “yeah i’m fine.” colby then looked at your hoodie closer, with the camera zoomed up on it. “it looks like you need a new.. sam and colby xplr hoodie merch!!” he whispered yelled, his hands moving the camera up and down excitedly. “yeah, look at the end of the strings! they’re already worn out, no plastic protection on them!” sam said. “that’s how you know she wears that shit on the daily!” colby smiled, pumping the air as the camera was pointing at him.
“you can get your own pair in the link down in the bio! get 50% off right now! go go go, people buy these quick guys!” colby spoke to the camera. “alright, let’s get back to the video..” sam said. the four of you continued walking until you saw familiar pile of rocks climbing up to the second floor, a new wet wooden plank on them. “oh that’s new, that plank was never there before. looks like someone else made it easier for other people. i fell way too much on those rocks.” you joked.
sam went first, and held your hands up the poorly made ramp, while malia went behind you and colby last. the four of you stood on the balcony, and sam went straight to the broken window that still hasn’t been boarded up. “hell yeahh brother,” he said with enthusiasm. “can you guys give me your bags?” sam asked, the group one by one gave sam the bags as he carefully placed them inside the building. “i am not ready for the estes method.” you muttered, shaking your head. “oh come on, it’ll be fun!” sam cheered. you deadpanned back at him. he hopped through the window, and held out his gloved hands for yours to take. you carefully climb through, then stood close to sam as you possibly could while sam took malia inside. colby finally came in after her.
“it really hasn’t changed.. the vibes still have stayed the same.” you whisper, looking around the untouched room. glass was everywhere, and then your eyes widened. “oh my god,” you spoke out of nowhere. the three of them turned back to you, “i forgot! i forgot..” you started to pace out of the room, your head peeking left and right. “where oh where are you…” you mumbled, “yn?” your boyfriend, sam asked. you were still deep in thought. colby looked at his best friend confused, sam confused as well with him. malia was just still near colby, not ready to venture out like you.
“if i remember correctly…” you took a left out the door, carefully walking on the broken floor under you. you stopped at room 304, the door shut. you grabbed the rusty gold knob, and started to twist it. “yn!” sam harshly, but not so harshly, yelled at you. “what are you doing?” you let go of the knob and turn back his way, seeing he was 10 feet away from you and colby and malia were 20. “oh, sorry. i must’ve zoned out. when my friends and i came here, we left things in back in this room and wrote on the walls.” you exclaimed with a smile. “well tell us next time,” he let out a nervous chuckle with a small smile. “i don’t want my girlfriend to go missing in an old abandoned hospital,.” he walked towards you, and the rest did as well. you twisted the knob, and nostalgia took over you. “wow..”
you look around, two old hospital beds crooked on either side of the room, one halfway off the thing that held it. mold and other.. stains on either one of them. five chairs all in the center of the room, like a circle. you smiled. “wow. it hasn’t changed at all in here,” one by one you touched the brown old wooden chairs. “we placed these chairs here when we came.” memories flashed in your head, laughter, spooky scary stories told. in the corner of your eye, something flashed. you gasped with a huge grin on your face, and went to that corner to move the debris off the flashy object. it was a white bear with a diamond collar on it, a blue bow in the middle of that collar. “i bought this bear as a joke to scare people in this hospital. i left it here.” you laugh, showing the group the bear.
“now 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 is cruel.” malia laughed, you laughed with her. “i know i know, but i couldn’t pass it up! this bear was creepy in the store i bought it in.” you giggle with a smile.
“alright! let’s start exploring and see what we get..” sam clapped his hands, but not so loud that people outside could hear. the four of you walked out of the room, and into the main hallway. “what we found online was that even when it was opened, people believed that it was haunted. there was reports of some call bells being rung on their own, even while they were unplugged!” colby told the camera. “others later on, when the hospital was first left abandoned noticed that lights would flicker on and off when this hospital had electricity.” sam continued. “we were also told by yn here that sometimes the mayor would let people of the town make this the ‘haunted house’ for halloween as well, though they stopped continuing that when someone was stabbed here one night.”
you shuddered, “making this place even more haunted..” sam nodded. “for sure! now let’s split up.” your face, along with malia’s had a shock onto it. “what do you mean split up?” malia asked. “you’re going with colby, while yn and i go together. you guys take the left wing, while we take the right. don’t worry yn, we kind of have the safer side of the wing? we got the babies and children on our side.” sam grinned. “child ghosts aren’t meant to be nice are they..?” you asked, a shiver going up your back as colby and malia disappear out of your view. “some can be nice, some can be tricksters, and others are just.. something else.” sam shuddered.
you hummed, “oh okay.. something else. very assuring. very nice.” you joked, sam chuckled lightly. “don’t worry. i won’t let nothing happen to you.., that you don’t like???” sam ended it with a question, “are 𝙮𝙤𝙪 gonna make me do the estes method?” you quiver. he just smiled at you. “sam!” you hit his shoulder playfully, a gasp leaving your lips. “i mean, what are we gonna get out of this estes method anyways? it’s not like we know the story of this hospital, no one knows except the elderly like my grandmother. we should’ve gone over to her to ask.” you hummed. sam shrugged, “oh well. you hear that guys? yn is gonna do the estes method!” sam giggled evilly at the camera, while you pouted behind him as your head touched the back of his back.
“it’s not so bad. at least you’ll be under, i’ll be alone in the room hearing noises.” sam mumbled. “oh yeah. totally not bad. i won’t be hearing creepy laughter and threats come into the headphones!” you sarcastically spoke. the two of you walk on and on, till sam figured the best spot to do the estes method was a random hospital room, abandoned, untouched, like no one hasn’t entered since the 90s. “alright guys! let’s put yn under..” he blind folded you, and you huff. “please don’t leave.” you whimper out, “i promise you, sweetheart. i won’t leave. i’ll have my hand on your knee the whole time.” as he said that, his hand landed on your knee and it freaked you out, even though he told you before hand.
you breathe in, the static was heard from the headphones that was on the chair next to you. “if you guys don’t know what the estes method is, one person goes under with blindfolds and headphones that connect to a spirit box- or a radio, whichever, and the person who isn’t under questions and this device lets the spirits of the place speak freely into it. it’s never clear, but we understand what their point is. you ready?” sam asked you, holding the headphones super close to your ears. your heart pounded, your conscious saying no but what leaves your lips was a “yes.” and the headphones are on.
you can no longer hear sam, and that scares you. so you place your own hand on sam’s cold hands that remains on your knee, his hand switching to the palm to hold your hand better.
for sam, he starts speaking. “if any of the spirits of the hospital is here, i’d like you to come up to this device and speak through it. my lovely girlfriend here, will then speak for you. i’ll ask, you answer. if you don’t want to speak—” sam got cut off by you, “murder.” was the first word you spoke out. and on your end, you just shivered, shaking your head. your hand grabbed sam’s tightly, as you spoke ‘oh my fod’ times 3, “sam.. sam.. it said sam. it said sam twice. it said your name.” you panic. sam’s eyes widened, his heart pounding a bit faster. “yeah… yeah that’s my name. how do you know my name? were you spying on us earlier when one of them said my name?” he asked the spirit.
it was quiet for a minute, until you spoke again. “no.” sam breathed in slowly, “do you know me personally?” he hesitantly asked, and right immediately you answered him. “yes.” to you, it was just nonsense word after words.. but to sam, it was more then that. “sally.” was what you heard, and your whole body moved with shock. “sam i’m not joking, oh my god. sally.” sally was known for being stuck with sam, since the sally house. “if you’re messing with us here, it’s not funny. we want to get to know you, we’ve already had enough with sally.” sam spoke sternly. his hand rubbed yours softly, “run.” you spoke. “oh my god, ew. laughter could he heard after it said run. and not just funny laughter either- ew, ew.” you repeated.
sam bit his lip with concern, but continued. “do you have a message for us?” he asked the spirit. you responded. “run.” again. “it just keeps saying run again and again sam, it’s repeating it too many times for me to keep up..” your body starts to shake, and you couldn’t help it. the voice in the headphones was low, but more and more as it said run over again, it started to get loud every time it said that word. you wince, but try for sam. “why do you keep saying run?” sam asked. “it’s not saying anything else sam, i don’t like this…” you whimper, clutching harder on sam. sam finally touches you out, and you take off the headphones and blindfold. your whole body was shaken, and you looked terrified. “i’m sorry,” you murmur, looking to the floor, “no.. no hey. don’t be sorry for what you can’t control. i’m sorry for not pulling you out sooner my love.” sam’s forehead touched yours, the both of you staying like that.
he kissed your cheek lovingly, before getting up from his seat. “if you want, we don’t have to include this into the video.” you shook your head, “you know we have too. the fans wanna see every second,” you shrugged. “i’m alright now. it was just.. it felt like it was taking my soul,” you placed your hand on the middle of your chest, your fingers visibly shaking. sam frowned at the thought, “well as you guys can see, we don’t fake this shit.” he pointed back at you. you hid behind sam, just because you felt more comfortable right behind him close. you can hear footsteps outside the room and you jump in fear. they were loud footsteps, and sam held you tightly. “hello?” he called out, his camera turned to the door.
your hands clasp to your mouth, a feared gasp leaving your body. the knob turned, and the door opened slowly. “colby.. malia.., i swear if you’re fucking with us!” sam barked, shielding you completely. “what are you two shitheads doing in my room?” a raspy voice asked, growled. you close your eyes tightly, holding onto sam’s back jacket. “sam..” your legs start to shake, and you begin to cry ever so lightly. “we’re just about to leave. we are so sorry-” as you and sam try to leave the room, the homeless man grabs you from behind sam; his muddy and wet hands on your arms, you scream, and you start to kick and kick. “sam!!” you scream, thrusting around the stale room sam grabs the male’s arm, his fist swinging on either side of the male, but this guy was fast. sam’s fist caught the old wall, and the male started to run with you in his arms.
you scream out, hoping malia and colby would hear it. his dirty hands clasp your mouth, and you’re too scared to even bite whatever was on his hand. pair of footsteps could be heard from down the hallway and the man stopped, you stomped on his foot, and he yelped, letting go of you. you run towards those pair of footsteps, malia and colby in view.
you get behind both of them, malia holding you tight as colby runs at the guy, sam behind him. the two of them get one or two punches, before blue and red sirens could be seen outside. the four of you run off, leaving the homeless man in the hall alone. your sobs could be heard through the running, all your equipment kind of slowing you all down, but all you four thought about was getting the hell out of there. finally towards sam’s tesla, bags were thrown on the floor. malia in the front with colby driving, the four of you getting away before the cops ever knew you were there.
sam and you were in the back, closely seated together. you hiss, grabbing sam’s hand. blood was all over it, his knuckles busted open. “ouch baby,” you whisper, your eyes looking into his with worry. “psh, don’t worry about it.” with his un hurt hand, he shrugs it. you grabbed your black bag, and unzip it. thankfully for you, you held the medic kit for your bag. you spray his hand with petroleum jelly, and rubbed it after. “does it hurt?” you ask, a stupid question really. “a little. but anything for you,” he kissed your cheek. you rolled your eyes.
“guys what the hell happened?” colby asked, breaking the silence. “we were just done with the estes method, which, by the way- was a bit crazy. but then we heard footsteps and then.. homeless guy got all messed up and crazy. i tried punching him but he dodged like a pro fighter, put my hand through a wall.” sam exclaimed. “damn..” manila muttered. “i told you guys, bad omen…” you shook your head, focused on sam’s hand as you wrapped it up. sam and colby just looked at each other with concern, but say nothing else. 
you kiss his hand, multiple times nonetheless. he chuckles at your action, “i’m fine baby.” he says. “no you’re not.” you argue. “you’re the one not fine, you were shaking after that estes method. i’m so sorry i put you through that,” he apologized once more. “baby forget the estes method, that fucking homeless man got you good.” you point at his hand. “whatever whatever. i’ll injure myself if i have to save you.”
you smile softly at that, “please don’t.”
“yes ma’am.”
