Vanishing at Cecil Hotel Netflix doc shows creepy vid of missing Elisa Lam at hostel where Night Stalker stayed

A CREEPY video showing the last known moments of Elisa Lam's life at a hostel where Night Stalker stayed has been show in the new Vanishing at Cecil Hotel doc on Netflix.

The footage shows the 21-year-old Canadian student acting very oddly before she was mysteriously found dead in one of the LA hotel's rooftop water tanks in 2013.


Elisa disappeared in January 2013 while staying at the Cecil Hotel, which is situated in downtown LA in an area rife with drugs, crime, poverty and homelessness, known as Skid Row.

Two weeks later, her body was found in a water tank on the top of the hotel.

In the bizarre CCTV footage, which was released by detectives, Elisa is seen pressing down on a column of buttons before moving to the corner of the lift as she waits for the doors to close.

She then peers out of the elevator both ways, before retracting back into a corner of it.

Moments later, she steps out of the lift and moves her feet in a strange, almost square dance-like, motion.

She is then seen to be making unusual hand gestures, with some claiming she was "conjuring a spirit".

Elisa is then seen leaving the lift, and it is here that some claim to see the edge of another person's shoe.


Once Elisa has left the clip, the CCTV kept rolling, but some have claimed the video has been tampered with as the time stamp is blurry.

Many viewers of the new docuseries have found the video extremely unsettling, particularly given it is the last known footage of her.

Some have suggested Elisa may have been playing the Korean elevator game, which claims it can take players "to another world".

While this footage was baffling and scary enough for viewers, the docuseries delivered a further dark twist when it was revealed that serial killer Richard Ramirez had also stayed there during his reign of terror in LA during the 1980s.

Ramirez is the subject of fellow Netflix series Night Stalker: The Hunt for a Serial Killer, but in the Cecil Hotel documentary, it was revealed he used to stay at The Cecil and prowl the corridors.

He was eventually arrested and convicted of 13 murders, five attempted murders, 11 sexual assaults, and 14 burglaries at the age of 29 in 1989.

The latest Netflix docuseries which focusses on Elisa's death looks at whether it was murder, suicide, an accident or even something supernatural.

An LA coroner said her death was caused by accidental drowning.

Authorities found no evidence of physical trauma in her autopsy report.

Additionally, the only notable findings in the toxicology report were multiple different medications to treat her bipolar disorder but there was no presence of alcohol or illegal drugs in her body at the time.
