About this listen

Ever get that feeling late at night when a building seems to whisper back at you? In this episode, we’re checking into the Cecil Hotel, a place in downtown Los Angeles with a history darker than a power outage in a horror flick.

We’re retracing the final, haunting steps of Elisa Lam, the Canadian student whose 2013 disappearance turned the internet into a hive of digital sleuths. From the chilling elevator surveillance footage that went viral to the grim discovery in the rooftop water tanks, we dive deep into the facts, the official coroner's report, and the wild conspiracies that refuse to die. We’ll balance the tragic reality of mental health struggles against the urban legends of a hotel that has seen better days—and far better outcomes.
