Elisa Lam

What really happened to Elisa Lam? We’ll never know. We don’t even know the real cause of death. But the circumstances around the case are so scary, that the upcoming season of American Horror Story: Hotel is based around it. 21-year-old, Elisa Lam came to Los Angeles in 2013. She chose to stay at the infamous Cecil Hotel.

The history of the hotel had always been ominous. Since the hotel opened in 1927, it had been a central figure in dozens of ghost stories, with guests claiming to see paranormal activity inside the walls of the strange hotel. But who cares about ghosts when real life monsters live there too?

Satanist and serial killer, Richard Ramirez lived at the hotel while he terrorized the streets of Los Angeles in the mid eighties. It’s believed he murdered 13 people while staying at the hotel. Austrian serial killer, Jack Unterweger, also stayed at the hotel in 1991. He murdered three prostitutes during his stay. The serial killers weren’t the only stain on the Cecil Hotel’s history. During the 50s and 60s, it was a notorious suicide hotspot.

But nothing in the history of the Cecil Hotel was as terrifying as the incident that occurred in 2013. You might have thought it was an urban legend. Think again.

In February 2013, guests at the Cecil Hotel started to complain that the water tasted rotten. The color was off, and the smell was repulsive. A hotel employee went to investigate the water tank stationed on the roof. After climbing up a ladder, and removing the heavy door leading to the tank, he discovered why the water tasted so bad. The body of Elisa Lam had been decomposing in the water tower for 19 days. She was found naked, with her belongings floating beside her and covered in a ‘sand-like substance.’ There was no suicide note.

The door to the roof was locked and alarmed, raising questions about how she could get on the roof in the first place. Additionally, you needed a ladder and a strong arm to climb the tank and get inside. There was no ladder on the scene, and Elisa was 5.5ft and weighed only 121 lbs.

If you’re already feeling creeped out, don’t keep reading.

The case went viral after elevator footage from the hotel was released. It was the last time Elisa Lam would be seen alive. In the video, the elevator appears to malfunction and Elisa starts to act strange. At one point she peers around the corner as if someone is chasing her, and she hides from an entity that is never revealed.

As a final nail in the totally creepy coffin, Elisa’s phone was never recovered. But her Tumblr account mysteriously started to post images up to six months after she died. Images, like this one, which was retrieved from her Tumblr account:

Experts believe that she had set up her Tumblr posts automatically before her death. But it’s still creepy as hell. After postponing the official cause of death several times, it was officially ruled as an accident. That’s one freaky accident. We think we’ll avoid that hotel at all costs.

The Phantom Patient

From: Anonymous

“The ambulance company that I used to work for had a ‘haunted’ ambulance: rig 12,” recounts Reddit.com user Zerbo. “A lot of EMTs had stories about it, but I never put much stock in paranormal stuff. That is, until I had my own experience with rig 12.

“My partner and I were working in a rural community at 3 a.m., and it was pitch-dark and completely quiet. We were both dozing; I was in the driver’s seat, and she was in the passenger seat. I woke up to a muffled voice, but I thought my partner was talking. I told her I was trying to sleep and closed my eyes. I distinctly heard a male voice say, ‘Oh my God, am I dying?’ followed by a few seconds of heavy breathing. My partner and I sat up straight and looked back into the patient compartment, where it sounded like the voice had come from.

“Things were quiet for a couple of seconds; then we heard the click of an oxygen-bottle regulator and a hiss, as if it was leaking. I turned on the lights, and we ran out of the rig. I thought a transient might have climbed in while we were asleep, so we opened the rear doors. No one was there. I checked the oxygen bottles; neither was opened. We didn’t sleep much after that.”

My Childhood Ghost Experience

From: krees17

I had encountered quite a few of ghost experience in my life up to now. I am currently a teenager but when I was around 7 years old. I remember this night as if it happened yesterday, no one believes me they keep saying stuff like “it was just a dream” or “you watch too much scary stuff” and it goes on and on and on. Lets get into the experience, my bed was facing the door way and my door was always open and I had my lights on constantly in the night, I was watching a old program on my t.v when I looked outside my door to see a white old figure of a woman walking past my room into my youngest brother room. At the time my youngest brother was downstairs with my parents because he didn’t want to sleep in his room. As the ghostly figure past I stared while she walked past. She was wearing a long white dress with a bonnet on her head. While I was telling my parents this they said the house was built on a farm. Due to my town was mostly farms in the old days. My 2nd experience was when Charlie Charlie was trending. I did in my house (this was a new house because for some reason we used to move a lot). And I told my 2 brothers that you can make people think that its real by blowing the two pencils. And once you do this game you are meant to have at least 2 people (at least this is what I have been reading from the internet) and then you are meant to brake the 2 pencils in half and burn the paper. My parents wouldn’t allow me to burn the paper so I broke the pencils in half and ripped the paper into shreds and put them in the bin. In the night I woke up about 12:00am I looked at my phone to the time 12:00am. Then once I put my phone back down I heard a child’s laughter. And I immediately sat up and looked around to see that no one was there. I ran into my parents room and said it was a nightmare when in know it wasn’t. In the same house I was downstairs watching mama mia with my mother when we heard my youngest brother again shouting on top of his lungs. My mother asked me to go up to see what was the matter and I opened the door to see my brother on the bottom of the bunk bed (my 2 brothers shared the room and had bunk beds) he was on the bottom bunk bed in the corner with the blanket on top of him crying his eyes out. I asked him what was wrong and he said that he was getting on the top of the bunk bed when the door slammed shut. He tried to open it when it was not opening. We told my mother and she said it was probably just the wind but the windows was shut and no wind could get in. 3rd one was in school when there was rumors that in the girls bathroom there was a ghost. And I went in to check and I said hello and there was a little girls laughter and I quickly ran out. My 4th one was when me and my ‘sister’ was playing cat scratch on each other. This was last year in 2017. After we played it my mother wanted us to clean up the place. After we was done we sat down to watch tv and I had a burning sensation on my back. I asked my sister to check when she said it was scratches all over my back in X’s I checked her back and It was just scratches. But the scariest thing is that we didn’t play cat scratch at all. My 4th is still going now. I don’t know if its a ghost or a animal but it is freaking me out. Due to my parents braking up and my mother having a new boyfriend we have to move house. Me and my ‘sister’ share a room and we have a attic and mostly every night there will be like a running sound. One night I couldn’t get to sleep so I stayed up all night till I could and it turned to 3:00am ( the witching hour) and I was lying in my bed on my room watching YouTube and at the time I had a bunk bed and my ‘sister’ was up her mother’s. While it was 3:00 i heard the running again but it was way louder than the normal running. It was like someone was running from my part of the room to the other side of the house. It reminds me from I think it was Samara from the ring when she was running and her legs was over lapping her arms (I am probably thinking of another movie but oh well). And last Halloween me and my youngest brother went upstairs and the attic entrance was open. No one goes up there at all. We had our mothers boyfriend to check and he said there was no one up there. No sign of a animal, no sign of a human nothing. Just some suitcases and rubbish. And the last one did not happen to me. I happened to my dad. He told me that he was lying in bed and he saw a white figure of a lady in his room and she just walked out of his room and disappeared. But he said he was a little drunk because he came from a guys night out. And that was why he asked me if I played any paranormal games in the house. But I know I wouldn’t because I am not aloud to play them or to play with a Ouija board because stuff happens but he is not really a big believer of ghosts...

All I got to say is if you play with the Ouija board make sure you respect the ghosts, play with another person and pass it on to someone else if you are done or burn it and hope to god nothing won’t happen to you. And take caution of playing paranormal games. Don’t be dumb like me.

Haunted/abandoned hospital

From: Alfie Grainger

Me and my friend decided to go to this abandoned hospital where we always go. We walked along way, so we stopped off at a park very near the hospital just for a few minutes. ( bear in mind that My phone was on 31% at the time), I got my phone out to take a quick video but when we tried to watch the video back, my phone went to a blank screen and wouldn't come on at all! After a minute of trying, my phone came on with the Apple logo but before it come on properly it said at the bottom of my screen that I had to plug into a power source so I brushed it off and we went to the abandoned hospital.

Every time we go there, none of us ever feel scared , we just feel normal but as soon as we stepped foot Inside the gates , I felt as if someone or something was there or watching us so I told me friend and to my surprise he felt the same way so we continued to walk and find the entrance because it was all boarded up, we went inside the garden area , we didn't go inside cause we were scared which is weird because we always go inside and never feel a single It of freight so we climbed on the wall and sat there. For some reason, everything felt normal again for both of us and we wasn't scared anymore and I it my phone out not expecting it to turn on but IT DID ! And it was on 10% but it stayed on 10% for hours for some reason. That isn't even the scariest part! When I got home I facetimed my nan and told her and she believed me straight away which I thought was weird , but she started to tell me that (at the time my phone was off and I was in the hospital) that she had facetimed me and it showed a picture of a house with a doorway and a sofa and something she couldn't make out on the right hand side, then she said she face timed me again and all she could see was like a red carpet of some sort but she could hear nothing!

This really freaked me out and I don't really know for sure it was an 'experience' cause I didn't see anything but I'm am VERY sure it wasn't normal .
