I still remember the first ever time watching this security cam footage, and being absolutely freaked out by it. It's still a video that gives me the chills. It's a tragic, scary, and very intriguing story that still doesn't have a very solid explanation behind it. I guess we should start with a little backstory. Elisa Lam was a Canadian student sight-seeing around California, registering a room at the Cecil Hotel (one of the most haunted and fucked-up buildings in the world, but that's a story for another time). Fellow guests had complained about her erratic behavior before the incident even though she had been normal in the days before. That brings us to the elevator footage which contains many creepy nuggets and oddities; Elisa contorts her limbs in a strange manner, moves in and out of the elevator after pressing multiple buttons, the elevator seems to be malfunctioning in the first place, and it even seems like Elisa may have been hiding from someone or something. Many theories have been offered up, from demonic possession, to a mental breakdown (Elsia was known to have bipolar disorder), to drug or alcohol use, to some kind of serial killer stalking her. Eventually though, Elisa would end up in the hotel's water tank, and it would be nearly a week before she was discovered, all the while hotel guests used the contaminated water to drink and shower. The autopsy report was a source of much controversy due to the long length it took to complete, along with the footage itself, which is theorized to have been doctored. The autopsy also notably supports none of the theories put forward; there was no sign of assault, or drug use, or suicide, and it was ruled an accident. While it has been several years now, the case of Elisa Lam still captures attention and demands answers. We may never know the full truth of all the events that transpired that night, but I hope one day someone out there could shed some light on it.
