@@tritonlandscaping1505 yeah...
to this date i think this is the CREEPIEST murder story EVER bc there's so many plotholes and oddities
dude fr, there’s absolutely nothing to go off, it’s just some weird behaviour and then she’s in a water tank and supposedly no one else is involved 🥴
@@Sophie_Pea it is a tragic story, but it was probably just her mental illness, which made her paranoid.
It has been proven that the lid was not actually closed when they found her.
The building was not well maintained, and I think (not sure about this one) that there was anoter way up to the roof.
It is tragic, but not as much of a mystery as it seems.
Edit: Watch this video. It's where I got most of my information about this case, and I think it makes sense.

you should look up kennika jenkins or kendrick johnson.
@@toogaytolift9176 what’s her ig
Taking the clothes off in the tank could have been her trying to survive. Clothes are heavy wet
Hey bruh I ain't into all that you feel me.
She also could have taken her clothes off because she was hypothermic.
@@SuzanneEvans99 exactly
She went to the unreachable roof and lifted a heavy tank lid, jumped into it through a small hole and removed her clothes?
@@fazzaah well that too. Just saying if it was suicide she wouldnt have removed her clothes. No way she accidentally fell in. All the more reason it was deliberate.
She was on a manic episode that caused her to go into psychosis. 2 of my close friends suffer from bipolar disorder and we needed to involuntarily hospitalize them after they lost their minds in a prolonged manic state. Elisa must not have had the right medication. I think her doctor shouldn’t have let her travel in that state without the right meds.
she stopped taking her meds or wasn't taking them correctly according to the documentary, but I 100% agree with you...she also had a history of hallucinating being followed
Ok she had mental issues the hotel camera looks tampered with idk why the manager knows something we don’t
This is true I’ve witnessed someone in a prolonged state mental decay. It’s sad.
i can follow that the thing im confused about is how and/or why she got in the water tank. it was probably possible if she went up the fire stairs and climbed up in the water tank closed it from the inside and took her clothes off. I find it unlikely that someone in a manic episode did all that.
@@-sammot- she didn't get into the tank and close the lid behind her. When she was found the lid was open. If you understand that she was having a mental breakdown, then the leap to believing that she jumped into a water tank and took off her clothes is a short one. You can't rationalize irrational behavior displayed during a psychosis.
_oh, this was back when shane hasn't manifested into his human form yet._

Lmaooo I killed you in red dead wtf 😭😂😂
Especially for those weirdos who drink the shower water
Ew imagine drinking it- that’s just so nasty
It’s so obvious the poor girl was “just” having a psychotic/manic episode of sorts, or was misdiagnosed as bipolar when in reality she was schizophrenic/had some other mental illness/disorder that could lead to something like this
I worked in a mental group home and the schizophrenic patients did stuff like this
She was diagnosed with bipolar with psychotic episodes and was not ctually taking her pills. The police found that out during the investigation. The Netflix special covers it
No, she is bipolar. Those with severe bipolar disorder experience psychosis which includes hallucinations, confusion, and delusions during a manic episode. Her family has confirmed this as well as doctors, etc. She stopped taking her medication.
the fact she wasnt in any mental state to climb to the roof or lift a 2 ton metal lid and climb in and close it on herself makes me believe someone took advantage of her mental state.
@@professortouretteswtf? Two ton lid? The lid weighed 20 pounds. The roof was easily accessible. Also the lid was open when she was found not closed.
As someone with bipolar, after hearing that Elisa Lam also had bipolar and suffered hallucinations and numerous manic episodes in the past.This story is sad but is nothing more than another victim of mental health issues, With bipolar type 1 , we have hallucinations, exactly like those with schizophrenia have. A woman with bipolar traveling another country alone is an incredibly massive danger to herself!
the fact she wasnt in any mental state to climb to the roof or lift a 2 ton metal lid and climb in and close it on herself makes me believe someone took advantage of her mental state.
@@professortourettessomething did, don’t get me wrong the hand movements can be a result of distress in some situations but her body language with her walking and being able to climb up a water tank and lift that thing would take strength especially in that mental state, strength of a demon? Seems unnatural.. the reason I don’t think the hand movements is weird is because I can do this so.. idk.
The fact that the elevator door never closed kind of bothered me.
It's called a button and if u press it the door stays open for sometime m sure
Elevator game
@@punjabisoorme3289 mm no I think u gotta hold it not let go for it to stay open. And I'd definitely close after she step out and start waving her hands

It’s not demon possession, she was seeing if anyone was going into the elevator, because it made a stop to that floor.
You will never know will you? I mean good theory but don't be so sure because it could have been anything.
@@gravedigger6130 something had to go wrong in her life. For her to do that. I doubt a demon would say. There’s water tanks upstairs go drown yourself in them, they wouldn’t know.
@@gravedigger6130 it was her mental issues I believe in demons 100 percent and God. But demons aren’t smart. Angels and god are smart but demons aren’t. A demon wouldn’t say. Go up to the water tank and drown yourself. There are plenty of other ways to commit suicide. This girl was sad and mentally down about something. A water tank on a hotel room is a good way to hide your body. She didn’t want anyone finding her. Or she didn’t leave any notes. She smarter to fight voices telling her to kill herself She would have got a councilor. She went to the hotel on purpose and when the elevator opened it was because someone pressed the button o that door causing her to think that someone found out where she was going but that person went away. She can resist temptation like Jesus did. Can you picture another good way to hide your body if commuting suicide. I would have to find out her mental blood with her parents and if anything was disturbing her Thru out life. This wasn’t a demon. The hand movements was just hand fiddling. I do it too. She could have drowned her self at the hotel. But didn’t because she didn’t want anyone to find her body. I’m smart and I know that fhis wasn’t a demon. Rather something wrong with her life. She thought no one would find her body.
But the elevator doesn’t stop for a whole 10 minutes. I think that the elevator was just broken.
@@catvcc because she pressed the stay door button so the elevator will stay open for 2 minutes.

Think of that was you
Firstly, my condolences go out to the Lam family. But I also feel for the hotel maids and maintenance workers the world over who find suicide (or murder) victims in rooms. Sadly, it happens a lot and it is not in their job description. Emergency workers and law enforcement are also confronted with some really fucked up scenarios and I'm sure it disturbs them, but they're not walking into these situations blindly. This one was particularly ghastly in that hotel guests were ultimately the ones who made the discovery-however indirectly-in a most gruesome fashion. I never want to stay in a hotel again. I don't drink tap water anywhere-that's not so much the issue for me, but if you watch enough "BuzzFeed Unsolved" or "Forensic Files," or "Unsolved Mysteries" quarantine at home doesn't seem so bad.
the fact that there were so many incidents there make me believe that the hotel isn’t haunted but cursed with dark energy

Me too I would never drink that water ! 🤢🤮
I'm still wondering how that elevator door didn't close itself when she stepped outside
I think it was the buttons she pressed, she hit several and on some elevators it stalls the unit
Also it could have been sensors that stop the doors from closing
Some elevators have a "pull to hold" feature for when workers are loading stuff on or something like that.
It's broke?
If you look at the full footage, they start to close in the beginning but then they stop and get pushed back in
Is nobody going to talk about how the surveillance footage of her in the elevator was obviously tampered with? However, there also wasn't any water in her lungs, so she was most likely killed then placed in the water tank. As if she had drowned in the water tank, she would've had water in her lungs.
who knows.
thats why its one of the top unsolved cases. only god knows.

As someone who has psychosis, it sounds more like an episode or hallucinations than demonic possession

Same press like a bunch of different buttons
Just FYI... Bipolarity doesn't explain the weird movements.
It can if she was having bipolar psychosis, which could actually explain it very well. Hallucinations and delusions are both later symptoms of it, and considering her roommates were complaining of "odd behaviour" (early symptoms of BP include difficulty communicating, suspicion of others, anxiety, and less emotional behaviour/expression), it all connects fairly well.
I swear 💯💯
Psychotic episode can
There are some cases of Bipolar Disorder that include symptoms of psychosis, which can definitely explain that.
Yeah, I really don’t understand why her being Bipolar matters. Bipolar is jut an emotional disorder, that wouldn’t cause her to act like she’s schizophrenic.
She was having a psychotic episode. As to how she was able to climb up the rooftop which was believed to be “locked,” the staff lied about it. Another CZcamsr went there and he was easily able to get to the rooftop. Nevertheless this cover was such a classic from the ghoul bois (yes Brett is also an og). I hope Ryan covers unsolved cases again on Watcher.
Sad that people are dismissed as crazy by those who don't even know them. Organised stalking and zersetzung programmes get covered up like this, with psychiatric smears. Typical NPD tactics.
the fact she wasnt in any mental state to climb to the roof or lift a 2 ton metal lid and climb in and close it on herself makes me believe someone took advantage of her mental state.
There’s just so many unanswered questions. I understand that her death could be blamed on mental health problems but how did she get up the fire escape? She opened the window? Also, the alarm never went off? Someone explain how she legit got on the roof and there’s no footage of it? And when she’s on the roof, how the hell did she get on top of the water structures, lift off a heavy lid, and get in? All while taking off her clothes? I mean I just can’t come down to one answer. I don’t understand
1. She got up to the roof via the window, I heard somebody say that canines tracked her sent there
2. And about the alarm, i think theres only an alarm in the fire escape stairs door way
3. There would be no footage probably due to the lack of surveillance cameras on the roof or on the way to the roof, and nobody probably saw her from outside the hotel doing so
4. The tank was already wide open apparently when she got there
5. There were ladder leading right into the tanks
6. She probably snapped out of her hallucinations and realized what she had done, and that she couldn't escape from inside the tank and removed her clothes to lessen the weight of her body and prolong her survival.
But then again, i have done minimum research on this topic and I am only relaying the research of the others in this comment section have gathered. So please don't take my word for this and possibly look into this a bit more at your own time
Thank you
Honestly no one put her in there this doesn’t make sense the fact she drowned, means someone would’ve had to lift the lid while putting her in there, what does make sense (and I’m not that big of a ghost believer) but ghost honestly a ghost lifted the lid and the girl got in is the only logical way I can think about how she died.
@@scotttheshark3576 wait what? They’d have to live the lid while putting her in in order for her to drown? She easily could’ve gotten in and drowned

Some people think she was playing a game called “The elevator game”(I think)
As someone that played this game a lot when I was younger, it does really look like this. When playing the game you’re just really on edge so behavior like this when playing the game is really normal.
Yeah, that is actually the reason why I clicked on this video.
yep thats what i also thought

My apartment complex! Same weird shit and then some! In Lubbock TX they used to be the Honeycomb Apartments and now they are called The Square at South Overton. I just learned after staying in a constantly state of panic and being physically ill that a 10 year old was raped and murdered here in 1981
okay this is a weirdly connected story but the secondary school that was next to/joint with mine changed their name after a kid got killed with a cricket ball (accidentally), so that does happen tbh
GAMING LIFE Given enough time it usually does
Sounds like Fazbear entertainment's strategy
Actually, it really does help. Outsiders like myself may not know the location of the Cecil and would only avoid that name while booking. One may not realize that they were actually staying in the Hotel Cecil.

“Well it’s been three years.” ….made me realize how long they’ve been doing this lol
I get the bipolar part and that she might have missed her meds which causes hallucinations but what disturbing is the elevator door not closing for so long plus how would she leave to the roof, climb the ladder and lift the heavy lid, go in the tank, and take off her clothes?
I fee like her being bipolar doesn't explain her behavior in the elevator. Being bipolar means you have states of euphoria and depression, it doesn't mean that you talk to imaginary people and act bizarrely. That behavior is more consistent with a schizophrenic, who has problems perceiving and interpreting reality.
Actually people with Bipolar D/O can have psychotic symptoms, including hallucinations.
Greystorm1619 yeah but maybe she took too many medications for her disorder?
This is about the elevator, I may be completely wrong with this, but isn't there an elevator game where if you hit so many buttons, depending on what floor you land on, there will be a little girl and then if you did something to anger her, something would happen to you? I may be completely wrong but it was just a thought.
Yes, but it isn’t a little girl, it’s a woman’s spectre. You shouldn’t talk to her otherwise you’ll die
It’s means a person have two personalities or act like 2 people in 1
This doesn’t feel right...
without the iconic Shane...
Brent feels like a knock off Shane, he's kinda funny but not as enthusiastic or funny as Shane
How could be be a knock off when he was there before shane?
Yeah
Yeah, Brent is not a knock off, coz he was there before Shane
Finally someone pointed it out
They just missed that she pressed all the elevators buttons and the reason she was probably acting weird is the make sure nobody was coming to the elevator because she probably wanted a ride to all the floors and didn't want to inconvenience others but that doesn't explain everything else
The news coverage did not respect this young lady at all. Bipolar does not mean you are crazy. Bipolar is about being depressed or having uforia feeling. It used to be one was depressed 6 months then ok 6 months. But now there are different levels to it. I highly doubt she undressed, climbed the tank and took lid off to get in. It never really said her cause of death. It led you to believe she drowned.
The undressing part is due to hyperthermia. It’s paradoxical undressing. Sadly, she has the most severe level of bipolar which can cause hallucinations.
@@_.hybrids._1680 then why was there so much sand like particles found on her clothes?

@@_.hybrids._1680 I know the whole story. I just want you to understand it is very dark on that roof at night, she didn't have her glasses and no flashlight. Makes it seem impossible she went for a dip to commit suicide. It's almost impossible to drown yourself. Thanks
@@jenneliz2020x she didn’t just commit suicide. She was having a manic episode. She was hallucinating that she was being hunted down so she hid. Your eyes adjust to the dark pretty quickly. She saw an open tank, and, in her feeble mind, hid from her non-existent threat. Unfortunately, there was no way up. She eventually got hyperthermia which caused the paradox undressing effect. She eventually got tired and drowned. She never meant to kill herself. In fact, she was trying to live. She was just not in the right state of mind to successfully do so.
It’s sad that she had an entire lifetime of things to be remembered by...she was a beautiful writer with a great sense of humor. She had friends and family and inside jokes and dreams for the future. But she will always be remembered for the way she died.

then how come they found the lid closed? the tank was 10 ft tall and there wasnt a ladder inside so how come? unless the hotel is hiding something
I'm pretty sure that it is most likely that Elisa Lam had a psychological break down and thought someone was chasing her so she hid in the water tank. Also the footage seems very much edited.
no the footage makes complete sense to me. ive done this. theres an elevator on my floor thats always broken. so i've tried to get it to start up again before. i lean in, press all the buttons and lean out, hoping it'll do something to start the elevator again. in her case it worked and she fixed the elevator. simple.
@@sweetbaby1767 If that's the case than that means she didn't fix it, there was a delayed reaction from the elevator due to the backed up lines above or too many commands. But there is a huge chance what you're saying is correct, however there is also evidence against it. Such as a leg with a black shoe walking in the elevator but it is cut off, or how Elisa managed to stay in the elevator without it going off. That would be a small chance of happening since elevators cannot really be delayed for that long. Like I said, we can't really confirm it.
@@sweetbaby1767- Do you either talk to someone while waiting for the elevator to reset? With the overt arm movements. Honestly the Psychological break sounds most likely. She appears to probably be experiencing the high of a bipolar with mixed episodes. The waving her arms as if sort of dancing, lack of sleep from the high would cause her to believe there is “ someone “ after you. They are always near enough to “ feel “ the person but never in sight when you turn around during the chase. 12 hrs of sleep would have helped. People with bipolar in a manic state apparently like the high. Unfortunately the crash is as bad as the destruction from the high.
There were messages found on her tumblr about someone following when she arrived
@@HeilAlaba what date is it? i wanna see please
i think it’s very possible she was having a manic episode from the wrong medication or something triggering, but it’s still weird that the elevator doors never closed. it’s even more unsettling how she had gone up to the roof and got into the water tank without any alarms, and the fact that it would be difficult to do on her own
the fact she wasnt in any mental state to climb to the roof or lift a 2 ton metal lid and climb in and close it on herself makes me believe someone took advantage of her mental state.
Crazy how Ryan can cover something better in 7 minutes than Netflix can in 4 long episodes
How f*ING true
I learned a lot from the Netflix but the organization of it was weird
@@jaeb4505 Netflix serie was made to make it longer, they could have compacted it in 30 minutes, but why would they
Except he was wrong about the lid being shut
I was just thinking this hahaha
She seems to be petting something and the fact that the doors didn't close like there's something actually there.
It could be the staff looking her from there then they stop the elevator from closing
she pressed hella buttons
Someone definitely shut off the power or cut a wire to get it to stop workinv
i think she played the elevator game
Hey guys, ive researched this all day. And the reason the elevator didnt close is because one of the buttons makes the elevator hold. I was able to debunk everything today exept the fact that she was naked. Everything else has good evidence behind it. Its still a strange case nontheless.
I wonder if they replaced the water tank and all the pipes after that, or if they just cleaned them out and said "Good enough."
What floor was she on when she entered the elevator? If the doors weren’t closing, she was probably looking for others to get into the elevator. This why she exited the elevator, made weird gestures and was fiddling around waiting for other people to enter, as this is a universal action for anyone that has used an elevator. Her odd behavior was due to this in my opinion. Anyone agree?
Did anyone make a disgusted face of disapproval when they talked about the black/ bad tasting water?
+AtmosphericColor
It actually gave me a little nausea.
Yes
nah
Right. I was like OMG.
Yes. like it's hard for me to look at tap water the same way.
Her behavior looks like mental issues. She looks like she’s having a delusional episode. She’s diagnosed bipolar but more than likely she was also paranoid schizophrenic.
Schizophrenic can see stuff dark don’t become one she was clearly acting creepy also before coming to this place she was normal why Ina building which is clearly controversial on this topic did she behave like that
Vidhi Jain because she stopped taking her medication. She checked into a notorious “haunted” hotel and became delirious to the point that she believed she was being chased by the deceased in the hotel.
Pabz I really don’t believe she was murdered.
@@GiDD504 then how did she get to roof without staff access??
@@ItsMeWindmill Very good point. The more horrifying thought of that is that maybe during her mental episode, a staff member could've...done horrific things to her, against her will....if you get what I'm saying....which would explain the fact that she wasn't dressed.
Treating the situation partly like it’s a joke. I-
I'm pretty sure they said that she WAS under the influence and had a mental breakdown in the process
She has a severe case of bipolar which can cause hallucinations. She was hallucinating that she’s in danger and tried to hide in the water can.
The real ones watched this years ago and came back for a recap after the netflix trailer came out
💯
Facts!
Hahahaha how did you know man 😅
legit
Guilty 😅
Oh my gosh but the way she moved her hands in the elevator camera footage freaked me out. It made me feel sick, anyone else? If not, watch again and only look at her hands during that part.
yea ..it makes me feel sick and start crying
gamergirl517 ikr
gamergirl517 she looked like she had autism
it kinda looks like she's trying to swim?
yeah I am a person who has watched every scary movie in this planet and documentaries but this movement of hands really shocked me ,i was like don't show that to me again that is a pure torture
what if she was playing hide n seek with her friends and drowned in that tank while actually hiding? i know it doesn't make sense but..
yeah that makes zero sense
That kind of is making sense because when she was hiding in the elevator it was a playful mood rather than being scared- not completely hide and seek, but practically thinking, there's a possibility that she might be going through a psychotic episode
Maybe staff did it. They know where cameras at, can vouch for each other, has access to places.
These are the perfect videos to watch before going to sleep.
Lmao pulled an all nighter watching this stuff.
@hello there 11:34 rn here
They really are
Stop it's 12:54 at night😭😭
Its legit 12:26 right here.
The question is
Who in their right mind would even stay at this hotel
let's start a hand sanitizer buiznez for mingew Maybe it's a really cheap hotel?
let's start a hand sanitizer buiznez for mingew yay a carat spotted
let's start a hand sanitizer buiznez for mingew i prefer sleeping outside.
let's start a hand sanitizer buiznez for mingew me 100%
wtf
The intro of him dropping his phone hooked me already lolololol
This is undoubtedly one of the weirdest if not the weirdest case I’ve ever seen.
next mystery. Find where all my missing socks are.
same
Bruhhhhhhh, on the real though
Fo real
Oh I forgot that one episode of South park where those little creatures stole socks, it's them I think around season 3 : p
SOCK GOBLINS!
When she's waving her hands around in the elevator it looks like she's a sim from the sims
oh from the sims ok
She's telling the player she has to pee I guess?
lmaooo
Babafukwajebebqllwkdhdbrbeebbe
Kesair!
Please dont add "TySm GuYs FoR tHe LiKeS"
It’s sad a weird how she died because how come there was only one camera in the elevator like someone in the staff planned this to take the cameras off or something
It’s crazy how short the episodes were.
i don’t think this is accidental. how would she even put herself in that water tank? wouldn’t you need tools to open/close it? how would she get inside and close it herself from the inside? it doesn’t make sense to me. i think someone is covering it up. someone knows EXACTLY what happened.
she was drugged which explains her odd behaviour for the past few days before her death its so obvious she knew something we don't
@@paige4443 thats just a lie from the authorities and its obvious
How would she get up to the tank if there was no ladder? Or did she have to jump from the roof of the nearby building? Nobody answers these questions,
@@h8hello136 i’m sorry but why would they lie?
@@Monika-pp1dc another question can be, why would they tell the truth?? Who knows what happened, but I can say it was not suicide , bc if it was, she could’ve just jumped off the roof or overdosed. Also bc she had a manic scene due to bipolar disorder and not a depressed episode, it’s most likely one would not commit suicide.
That hand movements freak the hell out of me
I slammed my phone down while freaking out lol
Ecliptic Goddess that itself confirmed to me that she isn't really in our "world"... I've heard countless of happenings in asia like 2 guys went to the 14th floor at the hotel in Malaysia but the hotel only has 13th floor.. but in the elivator it had the 14 level button but next time when they checked to show to the hotel staff there were no 14 button. And in Malaysia 14 number is considered bad luck..
Ecliptic Goddess Maybe it's a ritual or something?
Ecliptic Goddess Same
Ecliptic Goddess it's like she's a Sim omg
6:00
"Oh, so a lot of people died intense death here? That means this place is a 100% free of ghosts"
Excellent coverage on this unsolved what I believe is a still unsolved murder mystery. Lots of people talk to themselves when not on any kind of drugs while alone when in any kind of confusing and/or stress filled situation. Like when an elevater system quits working while you are trying to get out of it to get away from a bad date which can happen to anyone instead of only prostitutes.
