Music video edit
The music video for "Try Honesty," which was directed by Sean Michael Turrell, features the band playing in the Whitby Psychiatric Hospital in Whitby, Ontario. The video hints that the hospital is haunted in several ways, such as shadows without bodies, inanimate objects moving (i.e.: a toy doll opens its eyes without being touched, moving furniture, moving swing), reflections while no-one is there and people in a family picture moving.
