In 2015 Ruth Chase created sketches for “No Vacancy”, filmed at The Holbrooke Hotel in Grass Valley, CA. for a TV reality program called The Dead Files on The Travel Channel.
MEETING AMY ALLEN
Amy was a freaking trip, in all the best ways. An incredibly interesting, strange, distant, and focused person—she was the real deal. Sitting with her felt like being with someone who was hallucinating. My guess is that she was reading spirits and energy the whole time. As we sat in a hotel room to film the scene, sitting across the table from each other, it felt like she was reading me, or the room around me. Her eyes darted back and forth, over and around me, but never looked directly at me, even when I spoke to her. I loved every minute of it. After our scene together, I sat down to draw what she had described, both on camera and off, texting her photos of the progress to ensure the image matched what she saw. The hardest part of drawing a quality piece was dealing with all the distractions that pulled me away from being in my own space of channeling. Though, I wouldn’t have wanted to mix in with the energy there, so I guess it worked out for the best.
