So, I bought the new Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra to replace my S22 Ultra with the broken charging port. Luckily at&t had a trade-in program that made this extremely inexpensive for me.  I was recently watching a YouTube video on camera features trying ro figure out if there are any settings or features I should be using and discovered something I had seen while playing with the phone but didn't really pay attention to while poking around.

I asked my mom why she didn't just use the bedroom upstairs and she replied that she didn't get good feelings from that room - that she's sensitive to the paranormal and the room scares her.
