My mom died during a psychotic episode similar to this. She was afraid of being followed and went somewhere to be alone, but without food. We struggled to understand what happened for the same reasons - it’s so antithetical to what someone in their right mind would do. And yet the mind is a powerful thing. We see killers or the supernatural in these cases because we can’t understand what it’s like to be them. So we can’t imagine how they’d end up this way. If someone you know talks about hearing voices or is paranoid, take it seriously and get them some help. You can save someone’s life. I wish I had

I am very sorry about your mom. I practically disagree with this theory alot, she was talking to someone or she was trying to do something. She looks like she is describing something. If she went into that water tank, how would she close it? There would have been bruises on how her fingers. Now, hiding a body in a water tank is a way to get rid of fingerprints. I think she was about to be sex****** assaulted. Assuming her state when found she wasn't though. Plus, if she had an epsiode you need to be specific. Did her family ever say she had such epsiodes for the 22 years of living? She was killed and we refuse to except this, it was a horrible death. If she went up the fire escape she was running obviously. It was most likely a former hotel staff from when she was staying. The police might already know but haven't revealed the info. If this had happened it was maybe two men. Relating to your theory if she had done so, the person who Left her body closed the tank and just left her there, or the tank top just fell magically. I am so sorry for your mom. No one deserves the pain of their mom dying please take care of yourself :)

Some elevators have a hold button that staff use when they're loading luggage into/out of an elevator and it'll take a while. This is usually a feature on freight and staff-only area elevators, but some smaller hotels (or at least, ones that see less guest traffic) have the feature on their public elevators rather than putting in separate elevators just for the purpose. She probably pressed the hold button. These can delay the elevator for set time intervals (usually 1-5 minutes) or as an on/off feature (but those are pretty rare these days for safety reasons, and might not even be legal in the US anymore). She probably hit a delay button as she was going down the list.

Don. Why would the LAPD blur out the timestamp on the video they released? So that tells us people are putting in the effort to mislead and thus we will never get the complete thruth about this.

In my opinion most probably Elisa suffered a psychotic break - this can happen even if she was taking her medication. She was afraid someone was after her, the small inconvenience that the elevator wasn’t working triggered her fear. Perhaps she tried to escape from the windows and reached the tab. My hypothesis is that the staff had accidentally left it open and then either closed the tab without paying attention that someone was inside or they were afraid of getting in trouble for leaving the tab open and decided to close it.

This video was spliced a few places at least. The elevator closing for the first time. Also interestingly what indicates a minute passing takes ~80 seconds from 0:00 to 1:20 and then 1:20 to 2:41. Okay, strange but consistent. However it changes again after 7 seconds 2:41 to 2:48. There is a light shift at 2:29 the frame after Elisa's foot exits view completely. There is also a light shift in 2:34. Again at 2:50. Now the elevator close. Keep you on the bottom panel. The first frame of 2:58 has a blur that you will be able to see in the bottom panel, the floor tiles, and the reflection of the top and bottom sections of the elevator wall. The second frame the door magically partially closed. The third and subsequent frames we aren't blurred anymore. Now, The open and closes. I believe that the last open and everything we before the door close are the same place. The first open after the door close at 2:58 is different than what we saw previously. Look at the wood, the length is different. Anyway, my wrist is in a lot of pain, i'm stopping.

Ok im confused. I seen a video talking about demons on a channel that's no longer on you tube and it showed this video and what said parts of the video that haven't been seen. This was years ago and in the longer video she comes back into the elevator and is held against the left wall if i remember correctly and appears to be strangled by something invisible to the camera. Now i seen the video and it looked like it was part of the original video no altercations and this was before AI was really being used. Now i cant find that video ANYWHERE??? Does anyone else remember seeing another version of things or watching the video on that other channel??? The channel was lioness of yeshua i think?

If you look closely to the reflectance on elevator door side to right that is reflecting the hallway to the left, then watch when she is inside, there is clear movement in left hallway and she keeps looking to the left and starts talking and indicating that the elevator does not close to them. There is definatelly someone in the hallway to the left with her.

I don’t think there was anyone outside the elevator. When she initially walks into the elevator she doesn’t look in distress. I think she hides in the corner to see if there is someone holding the button. When she jumps out it sort of seems like a “got you” moment. When she realises there’s no one there I think the erratic hand movements is her trying to see if there was anything physically stopping the door from closing. She then looks frustrated , grabbing her hair and playing with her hands. The second time she gets into the elevator she presses heaps of buttons. She seems just as confused as to why the door isn’t closing as we are.

Not an expert on elevators, but I assume that it stayed open simply because it operates by detecting motion. They are built that way in an effort to keep them from shutting while someone is still in the process of stepping in or out. Elisa repeatedly darted in and out of the thing the entire time she was there. As far as the elevator is concerned, it wasn't going to shut until she was out of the way, which is, probably, why we saw it abruptly do so as soon as she disappeared from view.

It's not frightened behavior, though. Anxious, maybe, but not frightened. Her body language throughout the video is 100% playful. She's in the corner waiting to surprise someone who never comes in, or even near. I think someone promised her an illicit nighttime swim in the water tank, and for whatever reason, she trusted them enough not to realize they were avoiding cameras on the way to the roof -- this one in particular. This is a four-minute argument about taking the stairs.

But what does she do with her hands at 1:57

As it says in the documentary, she had bipolar disorder and wasn't taking her pills. Her family mentioned she sometimes had hallucinations which leads to panic attacks, so there might've been nobody with her and she could've been having hallucinations that there was somebody coming to kill her which is why she was acting strange. She went to the rooftop, and saw the water tank as her hiding spot to protect herself. She got in, and took off her clothes to try and swim up because she probably thought the weight of her clothes were pushing her down. But I will respect everyone's theories, so don't feel pressured to follow the same theory as me.

Probably some employee took advantage of her inconvenience and took her to the terrace to abuse her upstairs, since there were no cameras there. She obviously tried to resist, but it was murderous. So, to stand as a witness, the clerk threw the body into the water tank (to get rid of fingerprints), his only mistake was closing the lid. In order for the hotel's image not to get ugly these days after everything that happened, the owner made an agreement with the police to stifle the case as much as possible, which is consistent with the edited videos and insufficient information, making it appear to be a suicide for bipolar disorder.

During maniac episodes people experience being delusional and hallucinations. In the documentary it alway states that her family says she’s had breakdowns before, some that often led to her being hospitalized.

Cant believe this was 10 years ago, i remember got scared watching this Its sad to see her final days on earth to be like this 😢

The fact that she got all those hallucinations is because she did not know the existence of that "hold open" button... Seriously, what is the purpose of that btn???

This is the exact behavior we saw at the emergency room when homeless people or the people down the street at the halfway house came off their meds or suffered a break with reality. They made all sorts of weird hand movements, spoke with people who were not there, and moved in obsessive-compulsive patterns and generally repeated tics over and over. What you're seeing here is not a person being pursued by a killer or a ghost or a person from another dimension. If there were another person threatening her, she would have run away. Instead, like a person suffering a psychotic break, she is alternating between paranoia and calm, wandering like she does not know where she is, repeating patterns, and fidgeting with her environment. It IS scary to watch. Psychotic breaks are VERY scary to watch. I know. But they are not supernatural, and they require no conspiracy or help from others to occur.

You can Google more info about this, and you'll find that employees at the hotel have revealed that the hatch to the tank is not heavy at all. There was a fire escape that provided easy access. It is very easy to imagine that in her altered state, she took her clothes off and climbed in. It would not be uncommon for somebody in this state to imagine they were overheated, covered in ants, just plain itchy for no apparent reason, or simply to be so dissociated they didn't know what they were doing, and climb right in. Her clothes were set aside, like she took them off and intended to put them back on. They weren't stolen or hidden. Why? Because there was nobody else there to steal or hide them.

Finally someone made this one. In the end this should be very clear, she was sick and took 4 different meds and her friend didn't want to sleep in the same room with her because of "odd behavior". But the tank part still makes me wonder, I mean for a person in this state to climb the ladder to the roof, and then to a 10ft tall tank and then jump in there without clothes on and then closing the hatch is way too fishy.

I think the official story is the truth here. She was having a psychotic attack. She thinks somebody is to out to get her, gets in the lift presses buttons the doors don't close. She thinks someone is out there that is pushing buttons causing the lift not to move. She hides and tries to see, then jumps out of the lift to catch him in surprise. Then she does weird movements because her distress goes up. Then runs to the roof and gets in the water tank to hide or falls in it, but can't get out. Removes her clothes due to hypothermia, and eventually drowns. It is a very sad death. Editing this comment for the many people asking about how she closed the lid: There are different reports if the tank was actually open or not, and a civilian later sneaked into the roof and recorded that half of the tanks were open so I am assuming it was open, or maybe was closed later by one of the staff. If someone closed it don't know how they wouldn't see the body though.

Besides some civilian later climbed to the roof to show how easy it is to do so via fire escape and recorded the area, and half of the tanks were open. Which means they can be open. Are they that hard to open anyway?

@@nivedj your mind hides a lot of your strength. If your off the deep end yoir body isn't functioning as deemed normal so you'll just be on a Autopilot like mode. When in our daily lives we react to nerves , senses and info our body feeds back to our brain and we STOP with strength stuff when our system throws up warnings. Imagine having 0 of those warnings you literally just Dzo stuff as your mind is just going over random motions / signals ignoring most things.

explination of the doors not closing: many times in the video you can see her spam pressing almost all of the elevator doors. a button elevators usually have is a button to keep the doors open for 30 seconds or even 2 minutes. you might have seen these buttons yourself. they typically show elevator doors and arrows point forward (door close button) or arrows pointing away from eachother (doors open button). because the doors stay open for quite a while, it was most likely closer to a 2 minute timer.

The fact that this has no audio. It wouldve greatly helped the case. You sure this is the only tape offered by the hotel?

Why on earth did the doors stay open for so long?? On every other floor the doors opened for a seconds, then closed. Even with her pressing the buttons she did, they shouldn't have stayed open for so long. What is going on there?

+openskies11 watch how far door was opened at 0.05 then watch at 3.18 and 3.46 ( use slowmo of youtube). the door was opened too far first time. maybe thats why the door was not closing because it was stuck. now was it automatically closed at 2.58? I dont think so. there was something going on at 2.57. there was was a edit i think.

@@Plazmasoldier I can confirm elevators in old buildings in Downtown LA are horrendous. I was running a big delivery a few weeks ago and was sliding big boxes into an elevator when the door started closing on me and legitimately would not stop, even with me moving my arms for the sensors. I tried to hold the doors apart but they kept closing on my upper body, so obviously I got out of the way to prevent any Final Destination stuff from happening. My boxes got trapped in there and one of the boxes fell against the door which wouldn't allow the doors to open. The elevator was stuck for 30 minutes, then started hopping to random floors.

Rest easy, Elisa Lam ❤

There is some people that have been in the hotel to investigate and there is a button to hold the door, apparently if you press it the door will be open for 2 entire minutes until it closes. And also in the video it seems that there is a cut of almost 60 seconds (people on the internet have analyzed the video and the blurry date and time), so tbh the door didn’t closed immediately when she left. Anyways it is some strange behavior for an elevator

Nothing will rest in peace as long as she was killed by something paranormal. Most of the people don't believe in that stuff. Here in Italy we had a pretty similar case with a 21 year old lady who was possessed by an evil entity that even in her funeral black shadows were present looking at her corpse.

she had bipolar and her parents didn't want her traveling alone because of her unpredictable behavior in the past. the one time she goes on vacay alone, she dies :( I strongly believe she was mid manic episode here, probably lacking sleep, and super paranoid in a foreign country & sketchy ass hotel. as far as the water tank...I will always be puzzled there.

Y’know, as She clicked the buttons, they were Trying to close.. you can see them Trying To close like a Tiny bit, as if somebody is standing/walking there, Then when she stands visible To The door, You can KINDA see a dark figure walking towards her.. May you Rest in peace, Elisa Lam.
