she was. I figure she thought the water tank was a good place to hide in because she felt like she was being stalked . The water must have been low when she got in. In the documentary they mention that the volume of water varied through the day. She closed the lid when the water was down and when it came up again she couldn't open the it. She struggled for some time, because when they found her, her clothes were on the bottom of the tank. People tend to do that after some time in water so they can stay afloat for longer. But she eventually got exhausted =(

The door on the elevator didn’t shut because in her panic button pushing she hit the hold door button which holds the door open for a few mins, I forget who exactly but a few sources went to the hotel & went to the elevator to purposely figure out why the door never shut & once they saw what buttons she pushed by comparing the video to the elevator irl it was proven that she had hit the elevator door hold button along with a few others.

That's most likely the explanation for her behavior. She assumed the elevator was sensing someone blocking the doors, so she tried standing in the corner to trick the doors into closing. When that didn't work, she tried to get the elevator to recognize that she was stepping through the doors. Her gesturing could have just been her talking to herself in frustration, unaware there was a camera. It appears disturbing because we have the context of knowing she was later found dead.

This is my theory also. I believe that she was going through a psychotic break. The autopsy report stated she had prescribed medication in her system but had low doses of her BPD medication, meaning she wasn’t taking her medication the last few days she was alive. Elisa’s sister also claimed that when Elisa didn’t take her medication, she would have hallucinations of people chasing her. Elisa’s sister would come home to Elisa hiding in her room from “scary people”. So with that being said, I totally agree with you.

I don't care what anyone says, I think the hotel should have been held responsible. Even if Elisa ended up there purely from mental health reasons and nothing to do with anyone else... they knew she was acting odd (apparently) like the reason the changed her rooms and when she apparently had her outburst saying LA was crazy but so was she, etc, that coupled with the fact that the roof should have been made safer, especially considering the amount of people they have had who have jumped. It could have had surveillance or there could have been more precautions taken to make it safer. That hotel is known for its crimes, it's deaths and all of the terrible stuff that has happened there. I do think the hotel staff are somewhat responsible. Especially because the police dogs did smell Elisa's scent even reaching the fire exit.. they only briefly checked the roof as well (clearly) I'm on a lot of the same medications as Elisa and if she just randomly stopped her medication, she would either get really sick, or even die. She deffo would have needed the hospital. I have bpd, major depression, ocd, anxiety, ptsd and I even struggled a lot with psychosis. I'm not discrediting that she was ill. She absolutely was!- but I still think it could have been foul play, especially because she was talking about meeting these men and whatnot and the cecil hotel is known to have a lot of crimes and a lot of the worst criminals in the USA there. Maybe she was having an episode and someone took advantage of the fact, maybe she was hallucinating because something real had triggered her paranoia, who knows Also, p.s, when it says she was on a lot of drugs, it means medication, she wasn't tripping on acid and smoking crack.

As a person who has had a manic episode and took bipolar medication i relate to this. During my manic episode i was paranoid and thought i needed to go to the basketball court to regain being a “masculine boy.” On the way there, i almost got hit by a car and had suicidal tendencies like thinking i was going to die. Whatever happened to her, may she rest in peace

This case is still haunting, more so because seeing her in the video and knowing the chain of events leading up to her death is frighteningly morbid. Imagining what she must have hallucinated that caused her bizarre behavior, and what she must have been so afraid of that she went up to a scary rooftop alone at night trying to escape from, and knowing its all been her own mind haunting her. Its frightening to think how dark and disturbing life can get even without the paranormal

i remember seeing the clip of her in the elevator when i was a kid, but didn’t look into the story until after visiting la a few weeks ago and heard my friends talking about the hotel when we passed the area. crazy learning the story 10 years after seeing the original video

oh jeez i remember seeing that elevator video when i was little on a trip to san diego, and where we stayed already had rumors of being haunted (the marilyn monroe hotel i forgot the name), so i just thought the hotel where she died was where we were staying and that just freaked me out even more,, basically i was scared the entire trip and couldnt wait to get home. plz never show/ tell ur kids stories like this unless u want them to be traumatized TT

She was naked in the water tank, her clothes floating beside her. That's one thing he forgot to mention. So it wasn't like she tripped and fell in and her clothes came off on the way. She'd have to deliberately take her clothes off, throw them in the tank, and then get in herself, or someone put her in there.

The elevator video had covered time markers, potentially covering up the fact that the video was sped up and slowed down to make it creepy (as well as to make her look more crazy). There was other evidence that she was naked and had potentially body damage that could have pointed to her being sexually assaulted (the hotel has its history with its employees at the time) but it was hidden away because the hotel paid it off. This was a terrible incident and a sad tragedy

@freeziez

2 жыл бұрын

this is extremely misleading information. the time markers are covered but the video shows no evidence of actually being sped up or slowed down. nearly all the deaths at the hotel have come by suicides that are publicly disclosed and there is no evidence that anyone was paid off. the injuries to her body also have scientific explanations related to decomposition, and although it is unsettling that the autopsy report was not as detailed as it should have been, there was no published evidence of sexual assault. also toxicology proved that she wasn't taking all of the medications she needed for her bipolar disorder which very easily could have lead to a manic episode. i'm tired of these true crime nerds sensationalizing a poor woman's death because they can't come to terms with things just happening by accident. tl;dr you're an idiot

@madelineyoung9280

She was most likely naked because she didn’t die immediately in the water tank, and people remove their clothes when drowning to try to swim better. The hotel was probably trying to shut people up because, although this is a terribly tragic death, a business still does want to get sued or have any allegations against them. This was a very, very heartbreaking death, but all signs point to it being an accident. At this point it’s probably respectful to just let her rest and remember her as she was alive instead of speculating on her death. Speculation and investigation probably needs to be left to the investigators or people close to her if they feel it’s necessary.

something creepy when u look at the security footage is the door didntt close in the elavator but right as she left it closed

i can’t believe people thought it was ghosts and that someone was chasing her when she clearly was just trying to get the elevator door shut. she is just doing it in a very extroverted way… RIP Elisa. I think She went into the water tank on her own because there is a ladder and a way to open that latch it was not heavy at all but she was unable to get out and took off her clothes when she got cold/was trying to float because they were heavy. the hotel lied about the doors being locked and it being “difficult” to get into the tank.

But because he had been there and made satanic music that was about ladies in water, Internet people came for him absolutely ruined his life, death threats the lot.

many documentaries describe due to the drugs she felt she was being stalks and went to roof for safety (*information from Instagram shows roofs are where she felt safe*. as she was up there she stumbled upon the tanks and because she was seen only in the morning, the hotel talks about how every morning the water is drained and refills with clean water in the afternoon and night. they say she might off thought to go into the empty tank and close it from thinking she's getting stalked but locked herself in and the water started refilling soon drowning her. but police say the lid of the tank was to sealed for one person to accidently shut. maybe she was pushed maybe she was taken and put into the tank by force? who knows but R.I.P Elisa Lam *

The way her roomates brushed her off is so sad. We are so uneducated about mental health that we think anyone who is “odd” should be pushed away in society- instead of giving them help or asking them if they’re okay. It sucks

I like how no one talks about how if she was inside this whole time. He body is decomposing, so people who drank the water not only consume her body fluids, but maybe some decomposed body parts too. Do this make these people cannibals then? I might be misreading the situation, but I read on this case years ago and that's what I got from it.

i have bipolar disorder, panic disorder, sleep disorder and high depression. i take a cocktail of pills every day, every few hours. so i can understand a manic episode. ive had many.

shes hiding from the ghost of Ramirez

Their is a escape fire ladder on the said of the building that leads to the roof. And Santiago Lopez the janitor was on the roof the day before Elisa lams body was found in one of the tanks,Santiago want to the roof and saw one of the tanks the hatches were open so he closed one of them. And the hatches weight about 40 pounds (idk) if you wanna see the actually footage go to Netflix documentary called " The vanishing of Elisa Lam."

It's weird how so many people die there

How did she post about losing her phone? Did she have a laptop or something?

Make sure you save this somewhere. I’m pretty sure That Chapter has removed this video. I can’t seem to find it and yours may be the only one left.

Johnny Harris did a great take on that hotel. It fell into a shitty area that was intentionally used by LA to contain the homeless population.

She should see the Coffee house

Voiceover: "Here's a picture of a ghost apparently..." Rae: "Burn down the building." lmao Zero hesitation she was like KILL IT, KILL IT WITH FIRE! XD

the very first problem with this is that she was allowed to go somewhere alone even with depression and bipolar disorder. she has no support of shes gonna have an episode. second is that the exit to the roofs arent freaking lock, it should always be 100% lock, thats the highest part of the damn building and an area where theres little or no security. third is that there should have been a securtiy room or a small monitor area where the elevator camera can be viewed in real time.

omg, im on one of the same medications as her lol

The description for the movie Dark Water is actually incorrect. No biggie, but it's actually about a little girl who fell into the water tank and drowned and had since been a ghost in the building. Also includes the water being dark due to her body being in there. It's a great movie tho lol.

She went up there to take pictures and it was dark and fell in is what happened.. but then again her phone nor camera was ever found

7:06 that “how?” part really rubbed me the wrong way. of course they didn’t want to tell the police she was bipolar!! if they (the police) initially realized she was bipolar they would have brushed her case off saying she just ran away and that she’s an adult so she can take care of herself, or something to that effect. people with mental illnesses are never taken as seriously as those without. not saying the guy making the video is terrible or anything, but that felt a little insensitive lmao

My cousin is bipolar and from that short clip it seems very clear to me she is having a manic episode. My cousin thinks there are people after her all the time and acts similar. Even though she is on medication, we would never let her travel alone. I'm shocked her parents let her travel by herself.

Unfortunately in Asian culture there is a lot of stigmatism against mental disorders and they probably pretended that it didn't exist. Or didn't want to believe it. If you google you'll find a article from a Vancouver based Chinese newspaper where Elisa's father gave a interview and said that Elisa was a smart girl and not bipolar (even though the common agreement is that she was). So that shows that unfortunately she did not get the right emotional support that she needed. She wrote about that in her blog as well

The very definition of coincidence Elisa Lam Lam-elisa

she was crazy.

I don’t blame the parents for suing. It is way to easy for someone to get up there, which is dangerous and a safety hazard. You never know who is gonna book a night at a hotel. And plus I don’t think water tanks should be open no matter what. So I definitely don’t blame the parents for suing.

I think She was playing the elevator game if anyone didn’t know. But the elevator game is when u play with a certain button on the elevator then u go into another dimension, and the will be a lady who u are NOT to speak. Look at and interact with her or you will unfortunately end up dead like as an example the girl in the video. But if you manage to escape her and go back to your/our world your safe but i dont recommended on playing this game. Well idk I cant make sure of it but that’s what I think of what I’m seeing

hard disagree. she was most likely experiencing psychosis, judging by her hallucinatory actions and general behaviour. she was able to get onto the roof, and most likely climbed into the open hatch OR fell into it. theres nothing paranormal about this, as there are logical explanations for how she ended up in a water tank.

Just saying we will never know what actually happened because they were taking about what was most likely what happened to her. I might be wrong sorry but I was just saying what I thought about because in the game the elevator door dont shut until the game is over soo Yh just saying what I thought of it. You might be right but I’m just saying a theory of what I think.

@@zoeysleiman6921 your kindness is appreciated yet considering all of the factors of her mental health, I believe she also had depression, and she could have been suffering from hallucinations, (unsure if this was confirmed) it does seem most likely that it's the one grounded in reality? If that makes sense, as in playing the elevator game for an adult woman who is bipolar and unhappy seems a little weird, not saying it couldn't happen! But we dont even know if she new what the elevator game was right? Valkyrae also mentioned drugs so that would also play a part
