Woman meets strange man in Las Vegas casino. Then he reveals who he really is. Why are people convinced she met a ghost?

There are the people who haunt Las Vegas, and then there’s haunted Las Vegas. Sometimes, the two overlap. 

TikTok creator Alejandra Coronado (AletheOracle) says, “Vegas is a huge portal for aliens, demons, the dead, angels, all kinds of entities.”

She swears that one day while out with a friend, she met a 144-year-old dead man hanging around a casino bar. 

Who Did She Meet At The Casino In Vegas?

Underneath on-screen text that reads, “Story time: I met a dead man at a Vegas casino.”

The creator then tells a tale of feelings and accidents. Coronado, whose bio describes her as a “Multidimensional Shamanic Practitioner,” asserts that on a recent weekend trip to Las Vegas, she had a truly haunting experience. The video has been viewed over 1.4 million times. 

Because she describes herself as multidimensional (important later) and purports to have seen both angels and demons, Coronado asserts she’s equipped to have conversations with dead people.

“If you’re open-minded and exist in other dimensions, you notice these things,” she says. 

You Can Check Out Anytime, But You Can Never Leave

After making a friend at the casino bar with a (living) man, they leave and go to another bar area in her casino. There, Coronado notices it is very cold. Then she strikes up a conversation with “Pete.”

But she says it’s a telepathic conversation. She contends that Pete is a 144-year-old ghost who has met Einstein and Neil Armstrong. Though she takes the purported encounter in stride, she says she’s getting feelings that this guy isn’t real. And offers as evidence that he’s always hanging around one specific gambling machine, dresses in the same clothes, and never speaks to anyone. Real Hotel California vibes: as the song says, Pete has checked out, but he can never leave.  

But she can, and does. After she leaves with her new friend, they get in a small fender bender. Because of that, they decide not to test their luck any more and return to the bar. Yet for Coronado, it was more than bad luck. She thinks that in another universe, she actually died. 

Back at the casino bar, she gets a feeling that she and her friend are “actually dead,” she says. “I feel like I’m dead. He feels like he’s dead to me,” she elaborates. “Everything felt like something was switching, like we’re crossing over,” she argues. 

Then she says that as she keeps talking to Pete, she has a realization: “It made me feel that we had jumped timelines. Like we had probably died in another reality in that car accident. And now we’re in another reality where we survived it.”

‘Experiences that Fall Outside of Ordinary Explanation‘

In an email to The Mary Sue, Coronado says she initially was drawn to tarot and spirituality as “a tool for self-reflection and personal growth.” Then, as she learned more, she “became interested in the ways different cultures and belief systems understand intuition, consciousness, symbolism, and experiences that fall outside of ordinary explanation.”

As far as her Las Vegas experience and our request for “proof,” she replied, “I cannot prove what I experienced, nor do I claim to know with certainty what occurred. My friend and I did not have identical experiences of the event. What led me to consider the possibility that I had encountered something unusual was not a single piece of evidence, but rather the overall combination of circumstances, timing, my perception of the interaction, and the impression it left on me afterward.”

The Multiverse is Having A Moment 

From Marvel movies to random casino bars, the idea of multiple versions of reality has a lock on pop culture. Scientific American spoke to physicist and author Paul Halpern about the idea of the multiverse. He notes that the concept was introduced by Hugh Everett III, who “speculated that humans experience multiple realities but don’t really know about their doppelgängers.” 

He expanded this idea in his 1957 dissertation: The Many-Worlds Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics. “It was Everett who introduced the idea of the Universe ‘splitting’ into different versions of itself when faced with quantum choices,” reports the MIT Press Reader.

What Happens in Vegas Stays in Vegas? 

Except for a couple of users making tinfoil hat jokes, many are eager to weigh in with their own theories. 

“That’s crazy!!!! Dude what if he’s alive in his reality and you’re the ghost??? [big eye emoji],” says Mi.Im.Ra (@msmimir3). 

Then Robyn (@Robzilaa) offers her take: “Vegas is a huge portal. Y’all went through one mini one together.”

While another user, Jake Warhammer (@jakewarhammer), drops a whammy of an idea: “My conspiracy theory is that casinos limit the perception of time not for humans but to trap spirits in to reap their energy.”
