One of your best videos yet, and haven’t even finished watching. GO LAURA❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@LauWasHere]

OMG THANKS SO MUCH ❤️❤️❤️

[@HevinsHouse]

Lau !! My partner and I are ready to go exploring with You!! ❣️

[@LebronPhoto1]

I remember that hotel being abandoned for many years and then rebuilt and reopened in the late1980's/early 90's. It's a pity that they could not keep it maintained and operating after all of the time and effort put into rebuilding it. One of the problems I see with hotels in P.R. is that compared to similar options in Mexico, the Dominican Republic and elsewhere, they are kind of expensive. You price a vacation online and you get one price and once you add the resort fees, it's no longer a good deal. These hotels go under because they do not rent enough rooms. They fail to realize that charging a higher rate doesn't get you more money if you rent less rooms.

[@ATinyPlace]

So proud of you! The production level on this vlog is next level! The dude with the red jacket and cigar has 30 cool factor points, giving off some mad MJ thriller music video vibes.

[@TheWaysOfYore1]

Thank you. Kind.

[@LauWasHere]

He was literally effortlessly cool xD but we all were and had our unique cool addition to the video, but in my opinion, the crew made this video amazing, it would’ve been less interesting if it was just me! Thanks Flichi ❤️

[@iannumanfanwright1743]

Ooh...thank you Laura Can't wait to watch this! Please take care of yourself ❤

[@lonewolf33396]

In the quiet halls of the old Normandie Hotel, whispers of past love stories linger like ghosts. I wonder about the lovers who once met within its walls, their romances woven into the fabric of its forgotten history, leaving behind only echoes of passion and longing. Great video, Lau. It took me back in time.

[@AMNIyes]

43:03 That zoom in was hilarious 😂

[@snakeboren4814]

🆒 Video Goddess Laura !!!!

what an impressive and dangerous (collapsing stairs😳) building. It's kind of sad to see such old buildings abandoned. What stories could these walls tell!

Great video good job ❤❤❤

[@heilyhendrix]

That was awesome lau, thanks for a great vid❤

[@LauWasHere]

Thanks Heily!!

[@handyadvice]

One thing ive learned in life. Never go hunting for spirits. They come to you when necessary. Stop doing these things using the devils toys.

[@robertryan8049]

Lau, thank you for the tour. Back in the late 60's I would stay at a nearby motel for the summer (I lived in NY). I would go swimming at the beach next door and then go to the Burger King in the Normandy. It was really cheap back then. I don't remember if I went into the hotel but your exploration filled in the gaps. What a video. Thanks

[@scottgarcia2126]

Man so glad that I subscribed to your channel what an awesome video how you meet up with others and went on that adventure. An thank you for letting me tag along❤️

[@wilfredbarbosa8840]

⚜️ Great video Laura, with great group ghost busters.👻 - Sad to see this lovely Hotel Normandie so destroyed, still remember way back decades, my self walking into this hotel just looking around fully furnished loaded with guess very sad what a waist, blessings always. ⚜️

[@LauWasHere]

The best group I could’ve asked for! So awesome you got to see it in its prime though! Thanks for watching ❤️

[@laurarey5608]

Great video!

[@marlorivera4526]

Great video by far. I love the way you flow with whoever tags-go alone with you, you invite them along. You would have not done it alone, that historical gems are not safe. I have so much respect for you. I thank you for sharing your bravery!! We are just as crazy as you so I can relate to jump in through the window. I do skip the video part with Ghost talking, it's pure evil it's not a normal spirit. They do not play. We want nothing to harm you, you do well without Ghost talking. So back to your beautiful soul, we want to send you a Care Package, what is your sneaker size or slippers you are? You take care, we love you.

[@LauWasHere]

Thanks Marlo! I always welcome anyone who wants to join me, if they give me good vibes of course haha. But the cree was awesome that day. I would have definitely done it alone or found a way but it was better with them. Send me an email about the care package!

[@kennethgibson9527]

Laura you are one brave woman who can stand in the dark of night..& Speak to the dead you are Awesome !!! But to should be scared of the living. Not the dead !!!!

[@DavidFortman-et2jj]

Great video Lau! What a beautiful building. Too bad it's in such bad disrepair. Imagine what it would be like to stay there in the 40's. Glad you had good people with you. Hola amigos! ❤ Those stairs on the roof falling like that was crazy. And then the scream. I think a spirit didn't want to be bothered by the living. Glad you all got out OK. Oh, your hair is beautiful windblown or not. ❤❤❤

[@LauWasHere]

I can only imagine! But I was blessed to have met them (: what a crazy night! Thank you for watching and commenting 🙏🏻

[@DavidFortman-et2jj]

@LauWasHere Gracias for all the fun videos Lau! I love them all even if some make me say,"Don't do that!". LOL Keep them coming and I'll watch them all. Via con Dios my friend.

[@brauliofelicianoelloquitos9143]

Thank you laura enjoyed the video of the old normandy abandoned hotel I drove by there in 2006 (guess it was open then) on my way to el morro 😊 It looked so magical Unfortunately I never went there but thank you for the footage 😀 God bless

[@LauWasHere]

Thanks for watching! At some point I probably saw it too when it was open but I don’t remember xD blessings!

Laura if you plan to go some where that is known to be windy, try putting your hair into a pony tail. I truly enjoyed the video. Continue sharing them but be safe.

[@LauWasHere]

That’s what the sunglasses do for me! Never been a huge pony tail fan but thank you!

Lau, quiero darte las gracias por todo lo que haces. Te conoci por el video del avion de American Aurlines en Roosevelt Roads y ahora miro tus videos con entusiasmo. Vivio en Cakifornia cerca de Los Angeles. Me llevas a tantos sutios de la isla que ni siquiera sabia que exitian. Be careful girl, aveces pienso que te arriesgas un poco.

Hi Lau it will be a good idea to film a video of the Arecibo Observatory, just a suggestion.

This video makes it so that I can’t wait for you to get your spirit box. This is exactly the kind of video that I would love to see it in.

Omg Lau: Totally loved this video. You girls have balls💪🏼💪🏼Thank you for taking us along. The Roosevelt Roads is a whole 1:00:13 abandoned world. Shopping stores, bowling lanes( would have loved a bowling pin to keep),a theatre( I saw on another KZbin video),all those apartments!! The Freakin USA used, misused, and abused our island and our ppl. The least they could have done was to at least give those apartments to the PR ppl, but NO, they preferred to leave their trash instead 😡🤬so annoying, sad, n insulting!

Gracias!! Es de mis favoritos hasta ahora. Y mi crew fue lo mejor que me paso ese dia, ellos hicieron este video el mejor video!

[@alyrios]

I remember being at the Sixto Escobar in the early 90s for the Justas LAI and my university was assigned the bleachers closest to the hotel and I remember looking up at the Normandie and seeing the gringo tourists looking out the windows towards us students making a racket during the competitions. That was wild. I remember seeing the hotel abandoned when I was a kid, then it opened again in 90 and then it closed again. I think I may had been inside the lobby once. I think! 😁 ETA: You guys just made me feel old! I was active duty during 9/11. Yeah, I remember it very well. 😶

La arquitectura del Normandí se conoce como 30s art Decor, es de acuerdo a la época y lo que en ese tiempo se veía como futurista e industrial, acá en los Ángeles California viví en una casa tipo Suiss shakette con mi interiores tipo 30s art Decor, viví ahí 12 años y la casa tenía fantasmas, si plural fantasmas! Viví ahí con mi ex esposa y mis 3 hijos, y todos tuvimos experiencias en esa casa al igual visitantes, amigos y familiares que nos venían a ver tuvieron experiencias en esa casa.

[@TheWaysOfYore1]

Si, el Art Deco era muy popular en la época en la que se construyó el Normandie. Especialmente en la cultura estadounidense, la cual influyó mucho en la construcción del Hotel. Olvidé mencionar eso!

[@keylafloresmaysonet6068]

That's so sad close the Hotel 😢

[@Precide]

I have a couple good locations i recommend checking out. I went to purrto Rico about a year and a half ago and explored some places. The Decommissioned NSGA Sabana Seca site is super secluded and creepy. it's an old military base. Also, the Parque De Pelota stadium in Arecibo is an old baseball stadium it was super cool, and it had some seats left (just watch out for drug needles)

That type of dowsing rods are for finding water. Maybe they're for ghosts too I dunno about that, but if you walk around your yard with them they'll cross when you're over a water pipe. Anyway great video thanks!
