Part 1
Elisa Lam whose death was hailed as "accidental" by the LA County coroner, was changed and then changed back to accidental again, stayed in one of the rooms and her roommates booted her out cos they found her behaviour annoying. Who needs roomates like that. She was also bipolar. Lift/elevator camera footage shows her acting erratically in there as though she may be hiding from someone, or confronting them and without anyone actually being seen. Which could have been something paranormal. She was found in the water tank on the roof of the hotel after guests reported problems with the water supply. But the lids are heavy and couldn't have been lifted by her. Although it has been said they were left open. She could have accessed the roof via the fire escape as one Chinese user had posted a video of this being a possibility. Her clothes were found beside her and it was unusual since why would she go all the way to the tower, climb the ladder and throw herself in. And closing the lid. Whereas all the other suicides at the hotel involved people throwing themselves from the windows.
There was a "sand-like particulate" found but if she was murdered first and thrown into the tank her lungs would not have taken the water in, unless she was still alive when the body entered the water. A lot of discrepancies in the autopsy. Also her phone wasn't found. Patrick, a former LA crime scene photographer, could not remain in the building when taking Zak around the hotel.
Richard Ramiriz stayed at the hotel in 1985. Zak posits his devil worshipping rituals could have opened up a nest of demonic infestation. Zak mentions the Korean Elevator Game and whether Elisa was playing this. He plays it himself and he does what he isn't supposed to do as he doesn't read the instructions in advance. Here he feels something ice cold. The lift goes to the seventh floor without any button being pushed. He feels panicked and the presence of unseen people around him.
Zak got Michael and Marti to investigate and Michael was taken to the water tower where he felt a presence and that there was a pentagram. Michael feels like someone put her there and she was dead before she went into the water. He doesn't know if it was paranormal or not. Marti sketched in Ramiriz's room, sketching three people. Zak mentions names of people who died in the hotel.
Zak unbeknownst to them placed two paintings of Ramiriz in the closet without telling them. Michael calling Marti "killer" when he enters the room where she was sitting. He takes them to Elisa's room and Michael says Richard says hello to him. Zak also gets a scratch on his neck that Jay sees forming in real time and a bump by his eye, as though he had been punched or scratched.
They hear disembodied voices as they head to investigate the 14th floor. Zak talks to Elisa and tells other spirits to keep away. He uses the Polterpod. Telling the spirits to use their bodies and energy to communicate. I didn't hear "Mia," I hear "I am here." Also she says something like I was here?? when the male voice says her name "Elisa Lam." Why would a male spirit say her name?? just curious since we hear a female voice too which is overtaken by the male voice. Her killer??
14th floor Rimiriz's room is investigated which some people could've affected Elisa. A hissing noise is heard. Aaron acts strangely and hears screams and noises the others don't. The voices try to lead him away from them. The paintings are removed and light anomalies are caught near Aaron's head.
Zak playing the Elevator Game originating from Korea, where it tells them not to interact with the woman entering floor 7, but he doesn't that as he hasn't read ahead. (See above) But the lift kept going to floor 7 with Jay when he didn't even press the button. Also with Zak too earlier. Something touches Zak's hair. Aaron asks if he likes the drawings and then says "thank." Jay talks of blank spots on the camera and Zak takes the SLS camera to investigate. The lift door opens and a figure stands by the door. Which Zak says was also in the lift when he played the game.
Jay tries to make contact with the figure and the lift opens next to him. Aaron gets a response on the spirit box SB7. Zak hears a male voice, I hear "up." He takes a photo and the man gets closer to him, a dark shadow. Jay hits all the buttons in the lift. He goes to floor 7 when he pressed 15. A female voice says "hey" and I don't hear "is this Elisa." Billy gets "presence." Who killed Elisa? "Being." What happened to Billy asking her to come with him, did that happen??
Billy gets "friend" on the Paranormal Puck 2. It wants the "living" "female." He doesn't feel it's friendly. "Me" wants a living woman for himself. Zak states they were all annoyed with each other. Police sirens are heard outside every 30 seconds. There's evil in the building and it stays in there, messing with them psychologically.
They have investigated elevators before re Aaron in the ep with that dark mass in the next room.
Cool Hunter the 2006 episode of CSI:NY had a woman's body found in the water tower of her apartment building. Based on Dark Water which itself was based on real events where a woman's rotting body was discovered after being in there a week, whilst the residents used water from the tower. Eerily this could be a foreshadowing of Elisa's own tragic death in 2013.
Part 2
The Great Depression led the hotel into darkness and 18 deaths have been known here. The Black Dahlia was seen at the bar three days before her death. Scott Michaels, historian, takes them to the rooms. 704 was Helen Gurney's room. She threw herself out of the window. Zak feels the emotion from the deaths and how they have grown over the years. Aaron takes readings on the Trimeter and Polaroid photos. 712 was Jack Untervege's room. Obsessed with Rimiriz. He hanged himself in prison. Dorothy Purcell was in labour and giving birth, she threw the baby out of the window. She was described as "temporarily insane." Across from this room, Rimiriz had his room in later years.
"Learn Pushed Pray Fire Arrived" are captured and a spirit leading Aaron to the fire escape where it was pushed. Also the pounding on the door capture is what spooked Billy when he was in Goldie's room, Aaron, 'help me' could have been the spirit directing him to the fire escape?? Or was it one of Untervege's potential victims, but he was the only one who made contact with it, even though he killed the women in the room. Billy gets Jack again when he asks who are you? on the Paranormal Puck 2.
Z gets a possible poltergeist opening the tap in J's room. As well as a voice on the APF device saying "Jack." I heard "I'll be Jack." SO how did Jack get into the US if he had already been convicted of murder in Austria as he would've had a criminal record, multiple convictions; even though he initially got in as a reporter for a story. Still he shouldn't have been allowed in. He killed three prostitutes and was convicted in Austria of murder when he returned. He hanged himself in prison. He had travelled to the hotel and stayed there in an attempt to emulate Ramiriz.
Patti in the room senses the spirit of someone who jumped from the window as she opens the window in his room and doesn't know why she did that. As well as sensing Goldie being attacked/raped, as well. In Jack's room Zak asks who she was and hears "your mom." Was there a dark figure outside of the room when he hears a noise outside. There appeared to be something moving by the door at the far end of the hall, or was it the camera frames?? Aaron gets a twisty mist coming from the mirror when he sets up the experiment in the hallway with the two mirrors facing each other. Did he construct a portal for the spirit to enter. Light anomalies are picked up going into the LA hat and one goes into the Polterpod as he asks about her.
Patrick Langdon takes them into the various rooms and tells them about the suicides/murders in various rooms including the countless number of suicides. Why choose a hotel to commit suicide in or was it something else that attracted them there. The hotel didn't have a 13th floor?? as there wasn't a number on the lift button and when Jay was going through all the floors. Zak hates lifts - does that stem from his experience at the Jerome Grand Hotel?? or has he always had it.
That shadow figure Zak captured near one of the rooms whilst investigating on his own was so apparent, you could make out the outline in a profile-like manner. It came so close.
Jay hears a crashing sound in the basement when they haven't investigated before.
That black mass/stain on the floor near Patti was ominous - did she feel something then and let's not forget the creepy apparition figure, that looked like a real man!! At first I thought it was an actual man wearing a mask, he does look like he has one on though and that bald head, uh oh not a doppelganger for Aaron and also Aaron's name is the only name said out of all of them. (Just a thought.)
The Black Dahlia was also mentioned as she was allegedly seen drinking at the hotel bar in 1947, before her unsolved murder. Even Goldie 'Pidgeon' Osgood's murder remains unsolved. Best known for the serial killer, Richard Ramirez who engaged in satanic activity.
Heck had this in my drafts for 6 months!! WTH!
