@@Dikshant62 WAIT! I just found out that a guy went to the hotel to check the elevator and it turns out that under that row of buttons she pushed theres axtually a button to hold the elevator open and still for about 2 minutes. And that button doesnt light up, so she could have pushed it and we wouldnt be able to see it in this video
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.
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.
she already enters a behavior of despair this her theory does not make any sense, she was not wearing those shoes are very different, I believe there is someone else in the elevator
@@suellenandrade2815 if she enters in despair she wouldn’t have stood in the corner so still. I’m sure if you were scared you would be pacing back and forth. She didn’t start pacing till she realised the door wasn’t closing. And the shoe definitely looks like hers it doesn’t appear until she starts to exit the frame and it lifts the moment she’s walking away
Yes. Very odd. No elevator I’ve ever been on has stayed open more than 5 or 10 seconds. This one stays open for more than a minute without someone in the doorway.
Либо она нажимает так много кнопок из-за того, что лифт не закрывается почему-то, и она пытается этим самым сделать так, чтобы он закрылся, либо же она, наоборот, не хочет, чтобы лифт закрывался, хочет, чтобы для чего-то он был открыт и, видимо, нажимая так на много кнопок в лифте, мешает ему закрыться, делает так, чтобы лифт был открыт по-прежнему, здесь либо лифт не закрывается из-за хаотичных ненормальных для лифта нажиманий по нему, либо даже, может, у этого лифта в этом отеле есть специальный какой-то код для того, чтобы лифт был открыт и не закрывался в течении минуты с чем-то - как я заметил в видео, первый раз после того, как она перестала нажимать на кнопки лифта, он так простоял открытым около минуты и пятнадцати секунд, пока она не начала снова на кнопки нажимать, а второй раз после того, как она перестала нажимать на кнопки лифта, он так простоял открытым около минуты и восьми секунд, пока не закрылся.
Exactly yet when she leaves the elevator functions just fine, stopping on every floor with door opening and closing as usual. Something was going on that can’t be explained. I’m so so sorry for her mother and father, also her sister and possibly other siblings. The trauma of losing your child in such an awful and unexplainable way. I can’t imagine the horror and utter devastation. My prayers are with her family and loved ones especially.
What pisses me off is the hotel just had easy access to the water tanks with no key or locks. What the hell? What if someone poisoned the water? Dropped something important in?
It couldn't have been a ghost, she had to have been murdered by a staff working at the hotel. You'd think that they would release camera footage from the roof, but they refused to release it. I'd also like to point out that you would need a special kind of keycard to gain access to the roof. So it was obviously a staff member. I think she was raped and then murdered by a staff and then was placed in a water tank to hide evidence. Overall, I think that the hotel staff are trying to hide this from us.
@@colorado_river5003 thats so fucking scary omg. What do you think about her interacting with someone/thing in the elevator? That cant really be explained unless the whole video is somehow edited
@@Dana-qt8xi I think she just had anxiety and kept looking down the halls to look for any people that could murder her. That's why I think she kept looking out of the elevator and stuff.
No. We know what happened. I don’t take medication for bipolar disorder and I’m not at risk of stopping taking my medication and having a full blown schizo episode. People like her who have the disorder and don’t take medicine are
@EncoreMotion when did i say anything about the supernatural? someone could have killed her. i said to the comment dont assume just like you’re assuming
There probably isn't audio. I don't believe in ghosts. I do work in, and on top of elevators. Someone could have been on top of the elevator. The door operation can be controlled from the top, and you would be looking around wildly if someone was talking to you from the top as well.
Same, i first saw it in 2014 and refused to go in an elevator until I moved into a condo in 2019. But then, i was still terrified and this is the first time im watching the video again even after all the documentaries ive watched.
Rest in peace. This tape is so unsettling to say the least. This is the last known footage of Elisa and that honestly scares me so much. Stay safe everyone please.
Its not uncommon. The sensors get dirty and the relays malfunction. You honestly believe the paranormal need physical objects to freak people out? Come on.. MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMW
What really creeps me out is that we can only see her but she was seeing something else. Something that was on the scene and on the spot, even if we can’t see
@@Epicdomofilmz paranormal entity. If it's visible to one person, the camera can't capture it. There are a lot of inconsistencies in this case. How did she open the heavy door of the reservoir by herself and fall in naked alone? There are several videos from cctv cams with similar incidents in real life on yt Deapht of Despair...
Maybe it was the elevator game you guys should check the videos of tfil they recently went there n also opened a dybbuk box at the terrace don't know why though 🙄but still.
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.
I feel she was murdered and that it was one of the staff she was found dead on the roof you need a special key card to get into and I think the elevator was shut down
Michelle Cena Nah me either, you’re fine lol. I’m just confused bc when she first got on it, she was fine though, but the doors didn’t budge at all for a few long moments. The elevators at my job are crusty and dinky but the doors close a good five or so seconds after getting on them. But she waited awhile so I’m wondering wtf gave
Not to be cheesy, but this still haunts me to this day. Whether she was killed or killed herself, she was found in the hotel water tank. Guests were complaining of the taste/appearance of the water... the DEAD BODY WATER...........
Joniqua Alvarez some people think she might of been playing the elevator game which is a ritual too get you into a ‘different world’ however to get to this world a woman will step into the elevator with you on the 5th floor and you shouldn’t look at her or speak to her cause she’s apparently not human
Perhaps the person posdibly a woman asking her to meet up on the top of building where the water tanks are, we might have seen the person if the cctv footage hadn't been erased
It’s just so heartbreaking how terrified she must have been, believing someone was coming after her until the last second of her life. I hope she’s happy and well in Heaven.
@@Carolina_Panthers145 ah yes, christians believing that everything fucking revolves around them again, how nice :) And how fucking dare you to have the BLM sign as your icon when you're clearly not liberal..
No ones talking about why the elevator door closes that way? It looks like someone edited the video so there is obviously something they don’t want us knowing about.
@@zenkia8190 seriously??? Well in my Apartment's elevator there's a button for opening the elevator's door but it's not like it stays open upto 2 minutes ....
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.
i vibe with this theory a lot ! but there were some people she knew saying that her medication was going ok? and how did she get to the rooftop herself when there were the doors that always started alarming when they were opened? scary.
@@kerttukaroliina9343 She most likley went through out a window to get to the rooftop, and might've been lying to her non-relatives about the whole medication thing. But yes, the whole case is creepy and there isn't enough evidence to say if she was murdered or not. It's kind of weird.
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.
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.
Yeah, she pressed multiple buttons starting from the top to bottom. As the door was about to close she pressed the "hold door" button which i assume made the door stay open
Y qué tal si estaba esperando a alguien? Por eso apretó el botón? Por eso se escondía como tratar de asustarl@ y después al no querer ir le hizo señas? Probablemente la persona era sordomuda y al final esa persona no quiso y Elisa solo fué tras esa persona.
@@QuinnTheTailor even if she pressed the "hold door" button, the door would have only stayed open for an amount of time and them attempt to close again, which it didn't do after that again.
@@Pinguinlala normally yes, most ordinary apartment elevators close quicker. But maybe this one is an older or different system. Especially because its a hotel elevator. The doors might stay open until you press again or press the "door close" button or maybe the timer for staying open is simply much longer... because hotel customers often come suitcases or room service needs longer door timers for their cleaning and food service. Hard to tell

It was the most impressive documentary I've ever watched. It has helped me gain new perspectives on many issues that touch different areas of life. I'm so sorry we lost such a sincere person.
Wasn't that good. Most of the people made baseless accusations and assumptions. Morbid just did crazy stuff for fans. The girl more than likely kill herself
It changed how I see the mystery of Elisa lam and how I first knew the story from another RUclipsr but this documentary changed my POV towards this case , Elisa lam you will forever be missed 🙌 RIP I hope heaven is treating you right ❤️
Quomodo cecidisti de caelo, Lucifer , fili aurorae?! Deiectus es in terram, qui deiciebas gentes!, qui dicebas in corde tuo: ‘In caelum conscendam, super astra Dei exaltabo solium meum, sedebo in monte conventus in lateribus aquilonis; ascendam super altitudinem nubium, similis ero Altissimo ...........................
She is acting extremely cautiously, as if something scary is present, that's why she keeps stepping backwards and going back to see what's there , those hand gestures, she is definitely talking with someone
The fact that her parents DIDNT want to let her go out by herself is scary. The moment they let her go on a vacation alone, she tragically dies. She promised that she would call the every night letting them know she was alive and well, I can't imagine how they felt to not receive a phone call that night.
@@Ritsukaberry because she was 21 so her parents trusted her as she was an adult but she promised to call them every night so her parents could check on her
@@EkaterinaIHeris A few months before this trip, she had taken another trip almost clear across the country. She lived in BC and took a trip, I believe alone, to Ontario. It stood out to me when I was reading her blogs, because she visited the city I live in. Apparently nothing remarkable happened, because she didn't post much about it. She mentioned she had stayed in hostels, which is why I don't believe her parents went with her.
One thing I've always wondered about this video.. why I think someone set her up. Is how long the door stayed open. Like she was in the elevator for SO long and the door never once closed until she walked away... Like someone was holding it opening until she gave up using it.
Whoever was outside the elevator knew it had a camera. And didnt want to be spotted. So they stood there pressing the open button until she walked out of camera frame . They took her by the hair at 2:32
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.
@@Avelcaine make sense tho. I am guessing that she is not trying to make the elevator close but to make it open (?) So the guys who are not detected would go in (?).
@@Avelcaine If she was playful, why did she try to go down when she walked inside the elevator? That doesn't seem like she was waiting for someone, I think that her manic episode got worse after she realized that the elevator was broken. She thought that her imaginary person did it to the elevator, so she went outside to talk to him.
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 :)
I'm sorry about your mom....this is a heart breaking story....I've seen to many Cecil hotel videos but i can't get over them to know the misery of elisa lams death
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.
The scariest thing about this whole case is the people drank the water from the tank she was in. It's still sad though. I'm pretty sure this hotel is closed though.A lot of suicide and murder there.
@@rafaelvaldivia4698 she had bipolar, wasent taking her meds at the time of her death meaning she probably did have an episode and tripped the fuck out
@@jaydenkenworthy2454 but there are things that just don't add up with that, like how did she end up naked? how did she end up in the tank? why was there rectal bleeding and trauma but no where else? it just doesn't add up with psychotic episode
Anyone else feel so uncomfortable and weird watching this especially when she does her hand movements😳it just seems so unormal and unsettling, gives me the spooks
i belive with her hand movements she belived that she was swimming. and she was not taking her medicene an if she wasnt taking it she would see things that werent there and here voices that werent there. then i think that why she went up o try to swim thats why i belive she went up in the water tank
@@sophiar9823 no do some research maybe , the door to get on roof was locced , and theres a game u play here where u enter some different universe and if u break the rules u die , and i believe she also saw how she was dying thats why she was "swimming" but also idk , all ik is its some paranormal shit not cause of medicine not being took
@@lrecklessl did you watch the Netflix documentary? Have you done some research? The police dogs had her scent leading all the way up to a fire escape that led to the roof. Elisa had a history of not taking her meds, and in the autopsy report there was hardly any in her system. I believed for the longest time that she was murdered but it’s most respectful to think logically. She was having a bipolar manic episode. She believed somebody was chasing her. 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. As much as I love the paranormal accepts we can get into this case, we have to think actual logic here and not folklore.
@@lrecklessl also I have an article that you can read sites.gsu./anesujunior/support-2/ it gives a further explanation to the whole medication thing just copy and paste.
I actually wish I was in that lobby. I don't know what I could have done. I would like to have thought I could have done something. I feel a guilt I my husband tells me I don't deserve because I was no where near the area (was in Kentucky). But still doesn't stop one from wishing they could have been there.
I'm reading a book right now called Gone At Midnight: The Mysterious Death of Elisa Lam. In the book it says that her autopsy shows there was no water in her lungs. When a person dies from drowning, there's water in their lungs. Just something to think about.
Hi Marcy, I'm reading the same book, and in it Jake covers that. There is such a thing as a "dry drowning" which really I see as asphyxiation, where water will cut off your airway but no water actually fills your lungs. Jake also mentions there are coroner examinations to determine this in the autopsy, but in this case they were not done.
the video was cut after she walks out of frame. 1. The seconds in certain moments are stopped and then resume. 2. When the door finally closes it is already almost halfway, then when the lift goes to the other floors, the door closes starting from the beginning and not from the middle
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.
@@nivedj I don't know, maybe it took time for the system to recover after she pressed all the buttons, sometimes happens with electronic stuff. Or maybe it was malfunctioning.
@@nivedj Didn't the investigators later say that it was actually open or something similar? 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.
The elevator doors were not closing, she looks as if she is hiding from someone, she then looks as if she is explaining something to someone, she then leaves and the elevator acts normally. Her body was found inside a water storage tank, and they had to drain it, and cut it open to retrieve her body. The lid was very heavy, how did it get closed? How did she fit inside the small opening?
At first... it looks like she’s confused at why the doors won’t close so that kinda explains the weird jumping in & out.. maybe trying to see if they would close? And then she presses all the buttons, again maybe trying to get the doors to close? But then her looking like she’s talking to someone- it doesn’t make sense. I want to convince myself that she’s conversing with someone down the hall & explaining the issue with the elevator doors but something just seems weird/odd. Off. And then the doors close. I don’t get it. Strange 😳
@@Dzoni_u_kupaoni Its not bad if you can tolerate the crazy conspiracy theorists and the fact that it's a little dragged out. It could be done in 2 episodes, but they stretch it out for 4.
this is terrifying, the fact people were drinking the water with fragments of her BODY in it is so scary, i’m sending prayers to her family, she seemed like such a sweet person:(
I feel so bad for her and her family. Imagine if this was the only known footage left of your loved ones, how heartbreaking would it be to see them in such a state. Poor woman rest in peace I hope someday they find out what happened to you
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.
@@sophieanderson6263 especially how this was released like after days of her death..and the fact that they said they didn't have any 'cameras' other than the lifts ...

@@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.
Violet Shell she was found dead and naked in the water tank on the roof of the hotel, this footage is of when she was last seen. Many people debate whether it was a suicide from a bad mental state/drugs or a murder.

Hm, considering that there is a possibility she was having a manic episode, and that the elevator door wouldn't open, she might have thought that there was an invisible line stopping it from opening? Thats just a theory, and my theories arent always right
Appeal of the unknown. People want to find out the events that led to her tragic end, myself included. She's clearly mentally ill, but that doesn't explain turning up naked in a water tank...

Hello! I have something to share with you. It is from the Bible, which was inspired by the Lord: “The Lord is at hand; do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.”
it was just backed up and going through all the shit she asked it to beforhand , like when your pc runs slow cos youve clicked on shit befor other shits loaded ya know?
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
@@leydyosorio1535 If you watch the Netflix documentary about Elisa Lam, they discuss how the RUclips community and public accused a death metal musician, Pablo Vergara, whose stage name was Morbid, of killing Elisa Lam. They hounded him, despite him showing his passport and studio contracts showing he wasn't in LA when Elisa died. They got all his accounts shut down, and he attempted suicide under the barrage of unfounded bullying.
Here's something i noticed around the 13 second mark the doors start to shut but slides back, which means someone out of view is pressing the button. Been moving furniture for 10 years i know elevators foul play is definitely involved.
why didn't the elevator door ever close...that seems suspicious/creepy too me. ya'll know most elevator doors close seconds after pressing the buttons.
I gues someones controlling the elevator she cant go down or make the elevator door close so she press all the buttons, but nothing happend so she go out of it.
Was thinking the same thing, all these internet detectives with no actual proof and take no responsibility for what they say and do. Same thing happen with the doco "don't f@ck with cats" except the guy actually killed himself.
I do too. It’s truly sad how even in this day and age people try to blame crimes on whoever looks different. At least the police didn’t try to pin it on him though. He could have wound up in prison for making music. He deserves his platforms back. And an apology! He did not kill her.
@@hansderallerechte7344 he was a musician who was at the hotel a year earlier. Metal music with a dark facade that the internet detectives “felt” fit the murderer description. They harassed the hell out of him and ruined his life when he wasn’t even in the country when she died.
At 2:57 to 2:58 if you pay attention there is some video missing... When the door starts closing there is a jump in time... This video was definitely corrupted by someone
If someone was interacting with Her prior could have passed in front of the Elevator during the cut... I believe it was a Hotel Staff maybe a higher up... Its a intentional cut

Why wouldn't the door close when nobody was stood there and then she was like touching something that wasn't there, something is extremely eeery about this
when she was touching something that wasn’t there my sister said what if she was trying to reach for the elevator to see if it was still there or if it had closed,as if she couldn’t see it.
i honestly think that the elevator is either just the worst, or a staff member (i suppose 2 bc of what i’m about to say) was watching her through the camera controlling the elevator, while another one was threatening her in the hallway.
You know what guys,The fact that she look at the outside on the elevator because she thought there was something outside BECAUSE The door never closed and thats why
Why did the color of the door in front of the elevator change from brown to red when the elevator opens again at the 3:44 mark? The position of the camera also looks different and capturing a different angle. Am I missing something?
I don’t think she was in psychosis. My sense is that she had a fixed plan to take her own life and was experiencing a bout of mania/elation before she did so. It’s very common. In clinical counselling speak we call it ‘pinkclouding’. When she’s standing out the front of the elevator and is seen to be counting off her fingers at 2:10, she was likely listing the reasons why she has decided to end her own life. Horrific and depressing….but again, very very common.
Very simple. Her behavior is CLEARLY one of mental delusional breakdown of some sort due to taking some drugs mixed with her own medications. Or maybe she skipped her own medications for a day or few days. Police examination cannot tell EVERY kind of drug she took - especially after 2-3 fucking weeks of a decomposing body! The elevator doors do not close obviously cause she pressed too many buttons at once. This happened to me many times before. Or it can be malfunctioned. There is no one waiting for her there. this thesis is EXTREMELY stupid. The roof's door must have stayed open that night. The tank's hatch CAN be lifted by one person. CLEARLY her behavior shows that she jumped inside that tank without knowing what she really doing. CASE CLOSED. No ghosts, no other dimensions. No serial killers. This is plain stupid.
@@jenj8440 no asshole. Trolling is what U and the others here are doing with your childish theories. Ghosts, other dimension, demons and stalkers. You're trolling her friends and family with your DUMB theories.
@joanna marie ramos YEs baby you can. As my link in reddit showed...the hatch is really not heavy. It was some kind of stupid rumor. It sure can be lifted by a woman. Look for pictures of the hotel's water tank or look for my other comments here. There is a reddit link. Inside also there is a photo of the tanks on the roof.
It doesn't look like a psychotic episode at all to me... usually the symptoms are anger, fear, euphoria, alucination and so on. Excitement is more a symptom of mania episodes. She looks to me as someone who is concerned and confused, she's way too calm for a psychotic or mania episode. Obviously I can't be sure but that's what I think based on the fact that I recently graduated in psychology and worked in hospital with a lot of this cases during graduation, but like I said I can't be sure.
@@kelycprn I've known someone who showed these similar symptoms, he thought he could fly, so we kept the windows locked. Fear or anger seemed not very noticeable. Yet, these were psychotic episodes. And I agree, in the case of Elisa, we can't be sure.
@@deren2001 I've read something on Reddit about this case, and it has all the details about the medication she was supposedly taking for bipolar disorder. There were some she wasn't taking and some she was which may explain why she does seem to be going through a manic episode and not a psychotic one. It's very sad to be honest.
@@kelycprn Here I found something on the DSM net; "Psychosis in bipolar disorder can happen during manic or depressive phases. But it's more common during manic episodes. People who have bipolar psychosis experience a combination of symptoms." either both is very sad...I'm still haunted about her case since I read it
@@deren2001 me too, but i dont understand why the door is always open and then close, and then open, and then close, and his phone was not found(?)... its so strange...
As everyone is saying that it’s horrifying to think that everyone was drinking water with her fragments, wanna tell you my dear fellows.. it’s a hotel guys! Nobody drinks water from Tap!!!
Play the video @ 1.25X speed... gives it a whole other feel of creepiness. She appears to be frightened, and can’t get the door to close. The video has clearly been doctored too... watch the clicking of the timer, it isn’t smooth after she leaves for the last time, and the last time the door opens, it almost looks like it’s a different time of day with the brightness of the hallway.
there’s something about how the elevator only closes once she’s left even though she was there for over 3 minutes after she pushed the button and then it repeatedly opened and closed for no reason just doesn’t make any sense. My only explanation is that the elevator was faulty and maybe there was a system delay from all the times she pushed the button for the floors? but it just doesn’t seem right
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.
Poor young girl, I really feel sorry for her. I hope that after death there's something more beautiful, better and safer for all of us than life on earth. Rest in peace Elisa
same definitely! after watching the whole thing in netflix they said the elevator stays open for 2 minutes after you press the hold button and the last she pressed it....in between the time the door closed...there’s an ENTIRE 60 seconds missing. 60 seconds on the dot. an entire minute was clipped from the film. i think they’re protecting someone. whether they had to do with her disappearance or not- they definitely clipped the film.
she gets inside without beeing afraid. But why is she pushing all the buttons then? Then she freaks out. Then she makes this weird hand gestures.. I think she was losing her mind.. But why is the elevetor not working..and when she leaves then it suddenly works?
She was possessed that explains all the odd behavior.. since she stepped in the elevator watch the body movement.. idk how to explain it but you can see whatever has control over her body doesn't have complete motion over the hands or feet, see how she drops her hands and they swing.. so she walks in and pushes all buttons ,then looks like she's hiding from someone.. if she was hiding she wouldn't walk back out there like she did . Then you see her step back and to the side .. that's not normal for humans to move in such way .. just watch the body language.
There is a game evolving going to ten levels in a elevator, doing it in the right order is supposed to take you to an alternate dimension. Also something about if you look at a lady you get taken Into the world and killed. Several people thank she was playing the game... Then got murdered somehow.
Bipolar isn't even really a psychiatric disorders. The big pharma makes up mental diseases to have better control over population by having them take drugs and get them hooked. Yes there is some serious mental problems but most arent even real. This way the govt makes billions and billions each year and has more control. 🤨 Im bipolar and have met people who are bipolar . I personally don't take doctor prescribe meds . I medicate myself with weed lol. So what im trying to get to is bipolar isn't that fckn serious to have a episode that fucking weird. Now if she was delusional or schizophrenic then I would believe it was the cause of this .. but nope that looks creepy 😣
1) if you stand close to an elevator door, it senses that and so the door won’t close shut. 2) in 1:28 she has her hands clearly covering her ears, was she hearing something in that floor? Was there a fight going on, and she tries to change floors but the elevator won’t budge? Or were the voices in her head?? 3) It has been 12 years since Elisa’s passing, what I think the world underscores from her tragic passing should be more mental health awareness. The importance of taking medication and the effect that it could have. I have read Elisa’s entire tumbler profile and she seemed to have the sweetest personality ever. She loved Harry Potter and was a huge book worm like myself. School wasn’t a huge interest and often found herself disinterested in it. How I wish i could’ve met her then, the world paints her whole identity based on this eery video but what forget to realize this young lady was just an ordinary person. She was trying to have fun, and it ended in tragedy. All my condolences go to her family and loved ones, it must be painful watching footage like this and hearing conspiracies over and over. Let’s give Elisa the peace to rest, may her soul be in a much better place than in this brutal world. ❤
If only someone had. I think maybe they would have at least reported her so that she could've been escorted away to someplace safer, then maybe she would still be alive
It wouldn't have been creepy in real life, like it is in the video. It would have been concerning. Most city dwellers encounter crazy people from time to time, and she's a very unthreatening, petite woman. I would have tried to assist her... God help me, if I were in a particularly callous mood, I may have ignored her, but I'd sure like to think not.
I hope this may bring awareness to mental health support. This is what a psychotic episode really looks like and the person in most danger of harm is the person experiencing this rather than other people. She did not realize she pressed a hold button on the lift and it keeps the door open for two minutes. This propelled her into paranoia which she had experienced before and was meant to be taking medication for. Yes, during a psychotic episode it can look strange. I also blame the hotel for not having enough video cameras set up to see fully where she went, especially to the water tanks. That area needed monitering as anyone could of even put poison in them etc… They absolutely should of lost a negligence case due to the fact someone could go up there without security knowing for any reason and the water was contaminated. I also believe there is dark energy in this hotel and on a spiritual level, yes that can affect people with other underlying issues and magnefy them. I feel this is why so many horrible things occur at this location. Energy really can effect people.
The fact that people were drinking water that contained fragments of her body is just scary

@@Dikshant62 WAIT! I just found out that a guy went to the hotel to check the elevator and it turns out that under that row of buttons she pushed theres axtually a button to hold the elevator open and still for about 2 minutes. And that button doesnt light up, so she could have pushed it and we wouldnt be able to see it in this video
@@satsujin4027 useless button 🙁
I've been on hundreds of elevators in my 55 years of life and never ran across one where the doors stayed open that long.
Absolutely
Some elevators have a fence plus the door, the door wont close until you close the fence
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.
It looked like she pressed a ton of buttons so she may have messed it up somehow that way
55? and you know how to type a comment on youtube? wow
This was the ONLY camera in the entire hotel??
Good question
Michelle Sanchez yeah
I read there was also one in the lobby and that it was a video that showed her with two men, but they have never released it.

@@walidkaddouri8360 whattt
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.
She went in pressing a lot of buttons
she already enters a behavior of despair this her theory does not make any sense, she was not wearing those shoes are very different, I believe there is someone else in the elevator
@@christianmorales4526 yeh but she didn’t press them the first time as nervously as she did the second time
@@suellenandrade2815 if she enters in despair she wouldn’t have stood in the corner so still. I’m sure if you were scared you would be pacing back and forth. She didn’t start pacing till she realised the door wasn’t closing. And the shoe definitely looks like hers it doesn’t appear until she starts to exit the frame and it lifts the moment she’s walking away
@@chelseamae192 agreed! It was definitely her shoe.
The most creepy thing is "that elevator isn't closing" no matter how much minutes passed..
Yes. Very odd. No elevator I’ve ever been on has stayed open more than 5 or 10 seconds. This one stays open for more than a minute without someone in the doorway.
It's enough to drive anyone insane
The second she walks away it closes… sus.
Либо она нажимает так много кнопок из-за того, что лифт не закрывается почему-то, и она пытается этим самым сделать так, чтобы он закрылся, либо же она, наоборот, не хочет, чтобы лифт закрывался, хочет, чтобы для чего-то он был открыт и, видимо, нажимая так на много кнопок в лифте, мешает ему закрыться, делает так, чтобы лифт был открыт по-прежнему, здесь либо лифт не закрывается из-за хаотичных ненормальных для лифта нажиманий по нему, либо даже, может, у этого лифта в этом отеле есть специальный какой-то код для того, чтобы лифт был открыт и не закрывался в течении минуты с чем-то - как я заметил в видео, первый раз после того, как она перестала нажимать на кнопки лифта, он так простоял открытым около минуты и пятнадцати секунд, пока она не начала снова на кнопки нажимать, а второй раз после того, как она перестала нажимать на кнопки лифта, он так простоял открытым около минуты и восьми секунд, пока не закрылся.
Exactly yet when she leaves the elevator functions just fine, stopping on every floor with door opening and closing as usual. Something was going on that can’t be explained.
I’m so so sorry for her mother and father, also her sister and possibly other siblings. The trauma of losing your child in such an awful and unexplainable way. I can’t imagine the horror and utter devastation. My prayers are with her family and loved ones especially.

You shouldn't be, because she's just checking why elevator door(sensor) not closing by doing those hand moves.
What pisses me off is the hotel just had easy access to the water tanks with no key or locks. What the hell? What if someone poisoned the water? Dropped something important in?
Didn’t the staff have key cards to get to the roof?
I don’t think it would be that easy
@@Emzydigital Yeah they had keys to the roof but there was also an entrance to the roof from the fire exit

Whether it's a hallucination, ghost, etc.. she's definitely interacting with something... we just can't see it.
we shouldve been able to see it; ghosts make common occurrence on cameras but we cant see them with our own eyes
It couldn't have been a ghost, she had to have been murdered by a staff working at the hotel. You'd think that they would release camera footage from the roof, but they refused to release it. I'd also like to point out that you would need a special kind of keycard to gain access to the roof. So it was obviously a staff member. I think she was raped and then murdered by a staff and then was placed in a water tank to hide evidence. Overall, I think that the hotel staff are trying to hide this from us.

There probably isn't audio. I don't believe in ghosts. I do work in, and on top of elevators. Someone could have been on top of the elevator. The door operation can be controlled from the top, and you would be looking around wildly if someone was talking to you from the top as well.

Maybe it was the elevator game you guys should check the videos of tfil they recently went there n also opened a dybbuk box at the terrace don't know why though 🙄but still.
So all that time she was there, the doors refused to close but when she left it had no problem closing. Mkay.
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.
She is away from the sensors for a long time though isn’t she. And they don’t seem to close for a weirdly long time - Surprising
I feel she was murdered and that it was one of the staff she was found dead on the roof you need a special key card to get into and I think the elevator was shut down
Michelle Cena Nah me either, you’re fine lol. I’m just confused bc when she first got on it, she was fine though, but the doors didn’t budge at all for a few long moments. The elevators at my job are crusty and dinky but the doors close a good five or so seconds after getting on them. But she waited awhile so I’m wondering wtf gave
And at the end it opened n shut again n again.
Not to be cheesy, but this still haunts me to this day. Whether she was killed or killed herself, she was found in the hotel water tank. Guests were complaining of the taste/appearance of the water... the DEAD BODY WATER...........

@@luckyyou6633 well I don't know whether elevators deduct ghosts....
The hotel (Cecil) was a dump and it's likely that the elevator doors were malfunctioning.
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.
i vibe with this theory a lot ! but there were some people she knew saying that her medication was going ok? and how did she get to the rooftop herself when there were the doors that always started alarming when they were opened? scary.
@@kerttukaroliina9343 She most likley went through out a window to get to the rooftop, and might've been lying to her non-relatives about the whole medication thing. But yes, the whole case is creepy and there isn't enough evidence to say if she was murdered or not. It's kind of weird.
@@star1ecat yeah, great points!
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.
Acc to me its a rape and murder case and some staffs were involved in this case. They all took the advantage of her . weakness .
The amount of youtube detectives on this video is astounding.
Everybody loves a good mystery. And this one has video, which makes it more intriguing.
Do you think it's pissible because her death is a murder that needs solving
And people asking "is it just me or...?"
S Darby But this is not a mystery. It is attack of psychosis.
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.
I'm pretty sure she didn't take the stabilisers, which probably led to this.
The behavior indicates a psychotic break or possible drug use to me. Your theory seems most probable.
Thank you "Doctor."

The doors might stay open until you press again or press the "door close" button or maybe the timer for staying open is simply much longer... because hotel customers often come suitcases or room service needs longer door timers for their cleaning and food service. Hard to tell
It was the most impressive documentary I've ever watched. It has helped me gain new perspectives on many issues that touch different areas of life. I'm so sorry we lost such a sincere person.
Wasn't that good. Most of the people made baseless accusations and assumptions. Morbid just did crazy stuff for fans. The girl more than likely kill herself

@@EkaterinaIHeris A few months before this trip, she had taken another trip almost clear across the country. She lived in BC and took a trip, I believe alone, to Ontario. It stood out to me when I was reading her blogs, because she visited the city I live in. Apparently nothing remarkable happened, because she didn't post much about it. She mentioned she had stayed in hostels, which is why I don't believe her parents went with her.
@@EkaterinaIHerisThey should get her to therapy
One thing I've always wondered about this video.. why I think someone set her up. Is how long the door stayed open. Like she was in the elevator for SO long and the door never once closed until she walked away... Like someone was holding it opening until she gave up using it.
Right what elevator door stays open that long like fr tho. It wouldve gone back to the lobby or to the next call pressed needing a ride.
It was because she had pressed the hold button in the elevator
She pressed a heavy cargo button which can last 2 minutes
Whoever was outside the elevator knew it had a camera. And didnt want to be spotted. So they stood there pressing the open button until she walked out of camera frame . They took her by the hair at 2:32
the way she hides in the corner is terrifying me
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.
@@Avelcaine make sense tho. I am guessing that she is not trying to make the elevator close but to make it open (?) So the guys who are not detected would go in (?).
She had mental illness that caused manic episodes
@@Avelcaine If she was playful, why did she try to go down when she walked inside the elevator? That doesn't seem like she was waiting for someone, I think that her manic episode got worse after she realized that the elevator was broken. She thought that her imaginary person did it to the elevator, so she went outside to talk to him.
But what does she do with her hands at 1:57

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
Sorry about your mom.
gosh...
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 :)
I'm sorry about your mom....this is a heart breaking story....I've seen to many Cecil hotel videos but i can't get over them to know the misery of elisa lams death

@@lrecklessl did you watch the Netflix documentary? Have you done some research? The police dogs had her scent leading all the way up to a fire escape that led to the roof. Elisa had a history of not taking her meds, and in the autopsy report there was hardly any in her system. I believed for the longest time that she was murdered but it’s most respectful to think logically. She was having a bipolar manic episode. She believed somebody was chasing her. 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. As much as I love the paranormal accepts we can get into this case, we have to think actual logic here and not folklore.

I'm reading a book right now called Gone At Midnight: The Mysterious Death of Elisa Lam. In the book it says that her autopsy shows there was no water in her lungs. When a person dies from drowning, there's water in their lungs. Just something to think about.
Youre beautiful i must say and have a very frightening point there
@@biglez5577
You're an idiot.
@@LOOMING_WRAITH_OF_BAD_OMEN wow edgelord alert
Hi Marcy, I'm reading the same book, and in it Jake covers that. There is such a thing as a "dry drowning" which really I see as asphyxiation, where water will cut off your airway but no water actually fills your lungs. Jake also mentions there are coroner examinations to determine this in the autopsy, but in this case they were not done.
Well the book is wrong then because an autopsy was never performed on her.
the video was cut after she walks out of frame.
1. The seconds in certain moments are stopped and then resume.
2. When the door finally closes it is already almost halfway, then when the lift goes to the other floors, the door closes starting from the beginning and not from the middle
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.
i understand that but how did she end it up inside the water tank? thats what i just m
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.
I definitely agree. That's what I figured when I read the story & learned she was on 4 different medications. It's definitely very scary.
thats cool man. The story still creepy but you gave me some good answers
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.

Me! Haha
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.
Good explanation, but how did the lift door close right when she left
@@nivedj I don't know, maybe it took time for the system to recover after she pressed all the buttons, sometimes happens with electronic stuff. Or maybe it was malfunctioning.
@@thenomad4123 and you know, the lid of the tank was closed until some worker opened it and found her body. Could be a murder?
@@nivedj Didn't the investigators later say that it was actually open or something similar? 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.
The elevator doors were not closing, she looks as if she is hiding from someone, she then looks as if she is explaining something to someone, she then leaves and the elevator acts normally. Her body was found inside a water storage tank, and they had to drain it, and cut it open to retrieve her body. The lid was very heavy, how did it get closed? How did she fit inside the small opening?
At first... it looks like she’s confused at why the doors won’t close so that kinda explains the weird jumping in & out.. maybe trying to see if they would close? And then she presses all the buttons, again maybe trying to get the doors to close? But then her looking like she’s talking to someone- it doesn’t make sense. I want to convince myself that she’s conversing with someone down the hall & explaining the issue with the elevator doors but something just seems weird/odd. Off. And then the doors close. I don’t get it. Strange 😳
she looks both directions n then hides? i reckon she heard something
She's schizophrenic and seeing things
Maybe the person was holding a knife so she was trying to run away
Also waves her hands to check y it isn't closing. Well def hotel got elevator issues.
yeah and her dead body was found in a water tower that took multiple firemen to open

“The Lord is at hand; do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”

You know what guys,The fact that she look at the outside on the elevator because she thought there was something outside BECAUSE The door never closed and thats why
Why did the color of the door in front of the elevator change from brown to red when the elevator opens again at the 3:44 mark? The position of the camera also looks different and capturing a different angle. Am I missing something?
@@NOPE096 Is it not a different floor?
@@NOPE096 im not sure though its just we cant explain maybe the cctv cameras that time experience some glitches and time problems
But also when she is done hiding on the side of the elevator the strange things started at when she walks outside doing an square walk
For my opinion thats why she is walking on a square pattern because she thought if she will go outside and go in maybe the door will close
I don’t think she was in psychosis. My sense is that she had a fixed plan to take her own life and was experiencing a bout of mania/elation before she did so. It’s very common. In clinical counselling speak we call it ‘pinkclouding’. When she’s standing out the front of the elevator and is seen to be counting off her fingers at 2:10, she was likely listing the reasons why she has decided to end her own life. Horrific and depressing….but again, very very common.
I feel bad for that Morbid guy. He deserves apologies from the people who accused him of murder.
Same here. 🤚🏻
me too this Phänomenon we see now during the pandemic
@dua iqbal that's his passion , chill out
YES!!!! His life is ruined! But he’s also an I D I O T for egging it on!!!
@dua iqbal he is creepy but this not s excuse to call him a murder, on a place he was not even there at the time of the event
The hotel is so pathetic.
They know exactly what happened.
Very simple. Her behavior is CLEARLY one of mental delusional breakdown of some sort due to taking some drugs mixed with her own medications.
Or maybe she skipped her own medications for a day or few days.
Police examination cannot tell EVERY kind of drug she took - especially after 2-3 fucking weeks of a decomposing body!
The elevator doors do not close obviously cause she pressed too many buttons at once. This happened to me many times before. Or it can be malfunctioned.
There is no one waiting for her there. this thesis is EXTREMELY stupid.
The roof's door must have stayed open that night. The tank's hatch CAN be lifted by one person.
CLEARLY her behavior shows that she jumped inside that tank without knowing what she really doing.
CASE CLOSED. No ghosts, no other dimensions. No serial killers. This is plain stupid.
don lavacha stop trolling each comment with your bullshit.
どべやおい no they don’t they most likely could have prevented it but they don’t know how she got in there
@@jenj8440 no asshole. Trolling is what U and the others here are doing with your childish theories. Ghosts, other dimension, demons and stalkers. You're trolling her friends and family with your DUMB theories.
@joanna marie ramos YEs baby you can. As my link in reddit showed...the hatch is really not heavy. It was some kind of stupid rumor. It sure can be lifted by a woman. Look for pictures of the hotel's water tank or look for my other comments here. There is a reddit link. Inside also there is a photo of the tanks on the roof.
Looks like she is going through a psychotic episode, She seems not afraid, more in exited curiosity,
It doesn't look like a psychotic episode at all to me... usually the symptoms are anger, fear, euphoria, alucination and so on. Excitement is more a symptom of mania episodes. She looks to me as someone who is concerned and confused, she's way too calm for a psychotic or mania episode. Obviously I can't be sure but that's what I think based on the fact that I recently graduated in psychology and worked in hospital with a lot of this cases during graduation, but like I said I can't be sure.
@@kelycprn I've known someone who showed these similar symptoms, he thought he could fly, so we kept the windows locked. Fear or anger seemed not very noticeable. Yet, these were psychotic episodes. And I agree, in the case of Elisa, we can't be sure.
@@deren2001 I've read something on Reddit about this case, and it has all the details about the medication she was supposedly taking for bipolar disorder. There were some she wasn't taking and some she was which may explain why she does seem to be going through a manic episode and not a psychotic one. It's very sad to be honest.
@@kelycprn Here I found something on the DSM net; "Psychosis in bipolar disorder can happen during manic or depressive phases. But it's more common during manic episodes. People who have bipolar psychosis experience a combination of symptoms." either both is very sad...I'm still haunted about her case since I read it
@@deren2001 me too, but i dont understand why the door is always open and then close, and then open, and then close, and his phone was not found(?)... its so strange...
As everyone is saying that it’s horrifying to think that everyone was drinking water with her fragments, wanna tell you my dear fellows.. it’s a hotel guys! Nobody drinks water from Tap!!!
What? Some people do lol 😂
Also you don’t need to drink the water. You cook with water, you shower with it, brush your freaking teeth 😂
People also bathe 😂
Currently watching the Netflix documentary and had to watch it again. Still creeps me out
what's the name please?
@@laibaamjad8364 Crime Scene The Vanishing At The Cecil Hotel.
Is it good
Play the video @ 1.25X speed... gives it a whole other feel of creepiness. She appears to be frightened, and can’t get the door to close. The video has clearly been doctored too... watch the clicking of the timer, it isn’t smooth after she leaves for the last time, and the last time the door opens, it almost looks like it’s a different time of day with the brightness of the hallway.
go to 2:00, when she starts waving her hands it really freaks me out.
That and the door closing gave me chills
That is horribly unsettling.
psychosis
I was thinking myself that it appears to be some sort of mental illness manifesting itself.
Rick Woosley As I understand, she was bipolar.
there’s something about how the elevator only closes once she’s left even though she was there for over 3 minutes after she pushed the button and then it repeatedly opened and closed for no reason just doesn’t make any sense. My only explanation is that the elevator was faulty and maybe there was a system delay from all the times she pushed the button for the floors? but it just doesn’t seem right
It’s the safety function of the elevator. It won’t budge if you click a bunch of buttons. It was just a coincidence lol no ghosts
It opened and closed because it was going to all the different floors. you can see the different coloured wall every time the door opens again
0:12 you Can see it’s about to close but fails
Half way through she presses all the buttons then presses all the buttons again.
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.
Poor young girl, I really feel sorry for her. I hope that after death there's something more beautiful, better and safer for all of us than life on earth. Rest in peace Elisa
She was only 21😰😫 man what the hell so young!!!
Simp

@@abolisher :(..
Hey bung ,dunia itu tidak ada apa-apa, dunia itu kosong, tidak ada surga dan neraka
I’m watching this on Netflix with my sister and my first thought is “she is being followed or stalked” this video still gives me chills
That's the way I felt.
I think someone followed Tumblr and possibly followed her to the hotel.
@@ritadmn3824 I agree
@@ritadmn3824 im sure that she imagined that some one was following her because of her bipolar disorder
same definitely! after watching the whole thing in netflix they said the elevator stays open for 2 minutes after you press the hold button and the last she pressed it....in between the time the door closed...there’s an ENTIRE 60 seconds missing. 60 seconds on the dot. an entire minute was clipped from the film. i think they’re protecting someone. whether they had to do with her disappearance or not- they definitely clipped the film.
she gets inside without beeing afraid. But why is she pushing all the buttons then?
Then she freaks out. Then she makes this weird hand gestures..
I think she was losing her mind.. But why is the elevetor not working..and when she leaves then it suddenly works?
She was possessed that explains all the odd behavior.. since she stepped in the elevator watch the body movement.. idk how to explain it but you can see whatever has control over her body doesn't have complete motion over the hands or feet, see how she drops her hands and they swing.. so she walks in and pushes all buttons ,then looks like she's hiding from someone.. if she was hiding she wouldn't walk back out there like she did . Then you see her step back and to the side .. that's not normal for humans to move in such way .. just watch the body language.
There is a game evolving going to ten levels in a elevator, doing it in the right order is supposed to take you to an alternate dimension. Also something about if you look at a lady you get taken Into the world and killed. Several people thank she was playing the game... Then got murdered somehow.
She was bipolar. She likely was suffering a psychotic episode and went to go swimming in the water tower.
Bipolar isn't even really a psychiatric disorders. The big pharma makes up mental diseases to have better control over population by having them take drugs and get them hooked. Yes there is some serious mental problems but most arent even real. This way the govt makes billions and billions each year and has more control. 🤨 Im bipolar and have met people who are bipolar . I personally don't take doctor prescribe meds . I medicate myself with weed lol. So what im trying to get to is bipolar isn't that fckn serious to have a episode that fucking weird. Now if she was delusional or schizophrenic then I would believe it was the cause of this .. but nope that looks creepy 😣
It’s a haunted hotel
1) if you stand close to an elevator door, it senses that and so the door won’t close shut.
2) in 1:28 she has her hands clearly covering her ears, was she hearing something in that floor? Was there a fight going on, and she tries to change floors but the elevator won’t budge? Or were the voices in her head??
3) It has been 12 years since Elisa’s passing, what I think the world underscores from her tragic passing should be more mental health awareness. The importance of taking medication and the effect that it could have. I have read Elisa’s entire tumbler profile and she seemed to have the sweetest personality ever. She loved Harry Potter and was a huge book worm like myself. School wasn’t a huge interest and often found herself disinterested in it. How I wish i could’ve met her then, the world paints her whole identity based on this eery video but what forget to realize this young lady was just an ordinary person. She was trying to have fun, and it ended in tragedy. All my condolences go to her family and loved ones, it must be painful watching footage like this and hearing conspiracies over and over. Let’s give Elisa the peace to rest, may her soul be in a much better place than in this brutal world. ❤
One day one of us will find the truth. Rest In Peace Elisa. You are not forgotten
Vladimir Taylor
Highly unlikely. This will be forgotten like all other mysterious deaths.
@m c i might not be a homicde you dont know that dont act all detective
@m c Do you have any evidence like videos that have never been seen where you there No? Didnt think so just stop
@The-Lonely-Janitor 659 It's not always the ones with a name out there who get killed.
2021 and still has not found it out.
Imagine how scary it would’ve been for someone to be walking down that hall and seeing her doing what she was doing.
That would freak me the hell out especially if it was late night.
I would not run away like you would learn to help people
If only someone had. I think maybe they would have at least reported her so that she could've been escorted away to someplace safer, then maybe she would still be alive
It wouldn't have been creepy in real life, like it is in the video. It would have been concerning. Most city dwellers encounter crazy people from time to time, and she's a very unthreatening, petite woman. I would have tried to assist her... God help me, if I were in a particularly callous mood, I may have ignored her, but I'd sure like to think not.
@@praesidium4278 nah once u live in the city u know u cant stop to help every crackhead and insane b.tch u see
I watch a lot of crime related documentaries but this one was very creepy.
Same!! This one actually had me really scared lool.
Same especially those hand movements creep me tf out
It was terrible
yeah! Is very scary tbh -
because this wasn't murder my friend.It was demonic activity
I hope this may bring awareness to mental health support. This is what a psychotic episode really looks like and the person in most danger of harm is the person experiencing this rather than other people. She did not realize she pressed a hold button on the lift and it keeps the door open for two minutes. This propelled her into paranoia which she had experienced before and was meant to be taking medication for. Yes, during a psychotic episode it can look strange. I also blame the hotel for not having enough video cameras set up to see fully where she went, especially to the water tanks. That area needed monitering as anyone could of even put poison in them etc… They absolutely should of lost a negligence case due to the fact someone could go up there without security knowing for any reason and the water was contaminated. I also believe there is dark energy in this hotel and on a spiritual level, yes that can affect people with other underlying issues and magnefy them. I feel this is why so many horrible things occur at this location. Energy really can effect people.
