Summary

Legend:

In the 1890's an illicit affair centered around a hotel in Norway ends badly. Are the departed lovers still hanging around the original section of the hotel's top floor?

Background:

Marc Brugnoni and Marisol McIlvain work for a large travel and entertainment company in their marketing department. This means they frequently are sent to exotic locations around the world to produce high-end filmed content to inspire people to come and visit. On this 2013 trip to the Geiranger Fjord in Norway, they both experience something unexplained in their rooms and their denial of the events drop away when it comes up just prior to the beginning of the next shooting day at breakfast, and that wasn't the end of it.

0:07.4	I don't think there is a huge throng of people really being disappointed by it.
0:13.0	Yeah, because I know you I know you announced it where on our webpage. I announced it.
0:17.8	We teased it on episode number nine and then saying it was gonna be number 10. Okay. Number 10 was not it.
0:23.8	And then in number 10, we did not tease it, but in the newsletter that went out announcing number 10, I said it'll be eight number 11.
0:32.4	And now this is number 11 and guess what it's not about.
0:36.2	So it's on like 10 to 15 different platforms where you've painted. I told you not to do that.

0:48.5	Yes.
0:49.1	Yeah. Burning of the ships. Is that right? Yeah. Yeah.

1:03.8	I had seen it years ago, but I had to refresh my memory.
1:07.0	And that's Scott's idea is let's just always announce the next thing, which is that's fine.
1:13.3	Except that you know, schedules get in the way and that's what happened this time.
1:16.6	We're actually the last couple of times.
1:18.2	Yeah. Well, we're on a tight schedule and in reality for us, yes.
1:22.2	I mean, and when it comes to pre and post production is just me.
1:27.6	It's one guy. He's not rubbing me.
1:29.0	No, no, no. I'm not saying this to make you feel bad.
