\nTalk show hosts get a lot of random questions to deal with. Rather than try and sort out their problems in private, many people go on TV to share them with the world. Sometimes, it\u2019s the only way to get the help they need. Of all the bizarre things people have asked on television before, though, this is definitely one of the strangest. Sloane, a guest on Steve Harvey\u2019s talk show \u201cSteve\u201d in 2018, asked the host if he had a solution for her peculiar problem. She lives in a haunted apartment building and can\u2019t convince her boyfriend to spend the night with her, because he\u2019s afraid of where she lives.<\/p>\n

Not exactly known as a paranormal expert, Steve was bemused when Sloane asked if he knew how to persuade her partner to visit her apartment. Most people faced with this question would probably be lost for words, but this is Steve Harvey we\u2019re talking about here. The man has a way with words, and he knows exactly what to say. Unfortunately for Sloane, what Harvey came back with was not what she\u2019d anticipated at all. She couldn\u2019t believe his response after she\u2019d turned to him looking for help. This is why you shouldn\u2019t try to solve all your problems on TV.
\n[post_page_title]Host with the most[\/post_page_title]
\nOur TV screens wouldn\u2019t be the same without Steve Harvey on them. He\u2019s been acting as a host for several decades now, racking up appearances on the game show \u201cFamily Feud,\u201d variety series \u201cLittle Big Shots,\u201d and even the Miss Universe beauty pageant. Harvey\u2019s also known for hosting his own talk shows, with his program \u201cSteve Harvey\u201d winning numerous awards during its five-year run. When it ended, the host made a deal with IMG and NBC to keep the format alive in a new show, \u201cSteve.\u201d The series features many similar aspects as \u201cSteve Harvey,\u201d including audience interaction. However, the host was left regretting this after responding to an audience member\u2019s bizarre request in 2018.
\n
\n
\n[post_page_title]Question and answer[\/post_page_title]
\nTaking questions from the audience is a relatively common feature of talk shows. Although Harvey places more focus on celebrity interviews and comedy routines during the series, he likes reaching out to his viewers and helping them with their problems. He\u2019s a man of the people. The incident in question happened during a segment of the show known as \u201cHey Steve.\u201d People in the audience ask the host a question in the hopes he\u2019ll be able to provide them with a solution. These questions have ranged from things like \u201cHow do I confront people?\u201d to \u201cCan you help me make my online dating profile?\u201d There was one question out of all of these that Harvey wasn\u2019t prepared for, though.

\n[post_page_title]Haunted house[\/post_page_title]
\nDuring a segment of \u201cHey Steve,\u201d Harvey takes a question from Sloane who has a rather peculiar request from the host. She explains that she lives in a \u201cvery old Hollywood apartment building\u201d which is speculated to be haunted. Why do people believe that? There have been several deaths on the property since it was built in the \u201820s, so now it\u2019s believed that their spirits are still lingering in the building. Harvey is no ghostbuster, so what exactly is Sloane hoping he\u2019ll be able to do?
\n
\n
\n[post_page_title]Mysterious voice[\/post_page_title]
\nThe guest further elaborates on what has been going on in her apartment, revealing that on one night, in particular, she\u2019d had a somewhat haunting experience. It had happened while she\u2019d been on the phone having a normal conversation with her boyfriend. Suddenly, out of nowhere, she heard this voice that definitely didn\u2019t belong to her partner. When she asked what the voice was, her boyfriend replied that he hadn\u2019t heard anything, leaving Sloane particularly spooked. The haunting experience wasn\u2019t yet over though.
\n
\n
\n[post_page_title]Eerie atmosphere[\/post_page_title]
\nFollowing the emergence of the voice, the power in Sloane\u2019s apartment building completely switched off. Unsure of what else to do, she went outside and tried to get help. Being out there, the guest described it as \u201cthe eeriest, quietest thing,\u201d which is not the atmosphere you want when you\u2019re afraid something is haunting you. As Sloane continues to talk about the experience, Harvey listens on, growing more bemused by the second. He isn\u2019t sure where this is going, but he is intrigued to find out.
\n
\n
\n[post_page_title]Reached out for help[\/post_page_title]
\nUnsettled by what had happened in her apartment building, Sloane asked her boyfriend to come over and help her. She didn\u2019t want to be alone in a place that was apparently haunted, but this was her home. She couldn\u2019t just suddenly up and leave, so she had to try and get accustomed to the apartment\u2019s spooky qualities. Unfortunately, her boyfriend came back with the answer that she\u2019d been dreading, and it wasn\u2019t for the first time either. This is where Sloane needed Harvey\u2019s help.
\n
\n
\n[post_page_title]Relationship conflict[\/post_page_title]
\nSloane\u2019s boyfriend refused to come over. Ever since he discovered it\u2019s haunted, he\u2019s stayed as far away from her apartment as possible. Whenever the two of them spend time together, they always do it at his place, much to his girlfriend\u2019s annoyance. She doesn\u2019t want to always be the one who has to travel to see him, especially when she has a place of her own. Having explained her story, Sloane then asks Harvey if he knows how she can convince her partner to come back to her haunted apartment.
\n
\n
\n[post_page_title]Is he black?[\/post_page_title]
\nHarvey listened to his guest\u2019s story in silence, but now the ball is in his court. The host is accustomed to being asked for relationship advice, but this is a new one for him. However, he is primed and ready with a response. When the question comes his way, he responds with one of his own – \u201cIs your boyfriend black?\u201d After Sloane responds with, \u201cNo, but he thinks he is,\u201d Harvey knows everything he needs to. He is now certain her boyfriend will never go to her apartment.
\n
\n
\n[post_page_title]Rule number one[\/post_page_title]
\nAccording to Harvey, rule number one in the black manual is that you don\u2019t stay in a haunted house. It\u2019s better to move than stay put in somewhere like that. He says that this is supported by the fact that black people generally don\u2019t fare well in haunted movies. The audience erupts into fits of laughter over Harvey\u2019s response, although Sloane is still at a loss. She\u2019d hoped there would be some way to convince her boyfriend to stay at her apartment, but that seems less likely by the second.
\n
\n
\n[post_page_title]Moving out[\/post_page_title]
\nThere is one thing that is still confusing Harvey about his guest\u2019s predicament. If her apartment is causing so many issues between her and her boyfriend, why is she still there? Why didn\u2019t she move out the second she discovered it was haunted? When Sloane declares that she doesn’t know what to do anymore, Harvey asks her what is still keeping her in the building. He isn\u2019t expecting the answer she gives, but it makes him realize just what kind of person he is dealing with here.
\n
\n
\n[post_page_title]Paranormal junkie[\/post_page_title]
\nWhen asked, Sloane confesses she is something of a paranormal junkie. Harvey has no idea what this means, but when he probes her, she explains. \u201cI like haunted things,\u201d she clears up, much to the host\u2019s surprise. The reason she\u2019d stayed living in her apartment all this time was that she is addicted to the supernatural. She finds the idea of being around ghosts exciting, even if they do still freak her out at times. Unable to understand how anyone could enjoy that, Harvey comes back with a hilarious response.
\n
\n
\n[post_page_title]Oh, you crazy[\/post_page_title]
\nEveryone in the audience starts laughing when Harvey calmly tells Sloane, \u201cOh, you crazy.\u201d The guest agrees with him, taking pride in her interest in the supernatural. After the laughter dies down, though, Harvey still can\u2019t get his head around her obsession. As someone who\u2019s never had a great interest in ghosts and haunted places, he doesn’t see what the attraction is. Even as Sloane continues to explain what drives her desire to explore the supernatural, Harvey remains clueless. Eventually, he decides that he\u2019s had enough.
\n
\n
\n[post_page_title]Beyond help[\/post_page_title]
\n\u201cI\u2019ve been in all the scariest most haunted abandoned mental asylums,\u201d Sloane elaborates hoping it will help her case, but it doesn\u2019t. By this point, Harvey is struggling to work out what advice he can possibly give his guest, and he thinks she\u2019s beyond help. When she starts talking about how she has a problem with ghosts following her home, that proves to be the final straw for the host. He has no answer to her question, so he does the only other thing he can think of.
\n
\n
\n[post_page_title]Sending her out[\/post_page_title]
\nWith no helpful advice to offer his guest, Harvey demands that his \u2018security\u2019 \u201cPut her out.\u201d Everyone, including Sloane, starts laughing at the host\u2019s request, but this is no joke. A man in a blue suit comes over to the guest and leads her out of the audience. The good-natured request for her to leave gets a lot of applause from everyone else, but Harvey isn\u2019t quite finished yet. As she is on her way out, the host calls her back for one final attempt to help.
\n
\n
\n[post_page_title]Getting on stage[\/post_page_title]
\nSloane has no idea why she is being called onto the stage, but she follows Harvey\u2019s directions nonetheless. As she walks over to him, the host also calls over a woman named Jen from backstage. The two women aren\u2019t sure why they are being introduced to each other, but it quickly becomes apparent when Harvey refers to Jen as the show\u2019s \u201cresident Christian.\u201d Once again, everyone bursts into laughter, including the two on stage, but Harvey isn\u2019t done with his joking around just yet.
\n
\n
\n[post_page_title]The holy treatment[\/post_page_title]
\nAs everyone in the audience quietens down, Harvey explains to his guest exactly what Jen is going to do. He tells her that she\u2019ll take her backstage and throw some holy water over her in the hope that she will be healed. Seeing as Sloane believes that these various spirits are following her, maybe dousing her in holy water will keep them at bay. There is no assurance it will work, but Harvey feels that there is no harm in trying.
\n
\n
\n[post_page_title]Leaving things unresolved[\/post_page_title]
\nShortly afterwards, Jen and Sloane walk off the stage, leaving Harvey on his own once again. He\u2019s failed to answer his guest\u2019s question, but he’s given everyone in the audience a good dose of humor. We\u2019re not sure many talk show hosts would be able to provide a solution to Sloane\u2019s problem, so Harvey did well to tackle things the way he did. How his guest will deal with her issue is yet to be seen, but we\u2019re sure if there are any major developments, she\u2019ll keep Harvey informed.
\n
\n
\n[post_page_title]Haunted hotel[\/post_page_title]
\nYou can hardly blame Sloane\u2019s boyfriend for not wanting to stay in her haunted apartment. After all, many people would be equally resistant to stay somewhere supposedly teeming with ghosts. Several sports stars came to regret sleeping in a haunted hotel in Scranton, Pennsylvania, after having supernatural experiences that left them spooked. David Price and Wade Davis both had to check out after one night there when they heard mysterious knocks and screams, and the room became unbearably hot. Needless to say, they didn\u2019t get a good night\u2019s sleep.
\n
\n
\n[post_page_title]Ghostly encounters[\/post_page_title]
\nPrice and Davis aren\u2019t the only people to have had terrifying experiences in the Scranton hotel. Ryan Tatusko, another sports star, revealed that several of his teammates noticed supernatural events during a stay there. One guest\u2019s glass slid across the table and smashed on the ground, while another crossed paths with what they believe was a ghostly figure. Tatusko\u2019s coach encountered someone in the hallway and stepped aside so they could pass by, only for him to discover there was no-one there. He stayed somewhere else the following night.
\n
\n
\n[post_page_title]What to believe?[\/post_page_title]
\nTo some people, events like this have an obvious logical explanation, while to others, it\u2019s a sure sign that ghosts exist. Although we can\u2019t prove which of these is right, Sloane\u2019s boyfriend is perfectly entitled to be afraid of her haunted apartment. We wouldn\u2019t fancy sleeping somewhere that\u2019s supposedly experienced supernatural activity. We don\u2019t think Steve Harvey would either. From the sounds of it, he wants nothing to do with all these ghosts apparently following Sloane around, and we\u2019re right there with him.
