This shocking story of ghosts, maniacs, Freemasons, Illuminati and sacrifice rocked America in early 2013. Darkopedia.
Young Elisa Lam, a Canadian tourist, arrived in Los Angeles on January 26 and stayed at the inexpensive Cecile Hotel in the city center. She never returned home, and none of her family and friends expected such a terrible outcome of the story.
The 21-year-old Chinese-Canadian was an exemplary daughter, calling her parents daily and talking about all her travel adventures in the United States. However, shortly after her arrival in the City of Angels, the calls stopped. On January 31, Eliza was seen for the last time - she went to a bookstore near the hotel to buy souvenirs for her family, returned to the Cecile, took an elevator ride - she was captured by a camera in the cab - and ... disappeared without a trace.
Eliza's tracks came to light on February 19, when hotel guests began to complain to staff about the quality of the water. The liquid in the taps darkened, the pressure weakened, and a strange taste appeared ... The employees went up to the roof, where the water supply system is located. There, in a tightly closed tank, they found the naked body of Eliza, whom her parents had been looking for for two weeks with the police. They came to the United States when their daughter stopped calling and sending emails.
The girl's body, which had poisoned the water and life of the hotel guests for more than a dozen days, was removed and sent for a forensic examination. The results were awaited with bated breath not only by grieving relatives, but also by thousands of observers around the world. And so - on February 22, a TV news announcer reports that the cause of death ... is not determined. Some answers can be provided by a toxicological analysis, which will be ready at the end of April.
The biggest mystery in this case is the January 31 video of Eliza in the hotel's elevator.
She presses the same combination of buttons several times in a row, runs out of the elevator, hides, wringing her hands, talking to someone outside the camera's field of view - or to herself. Leaving on the fourteenth floor (her room was located on the fourth), the girl does not return to the elevator.
Here's this creepy video:
The story of poor Eliza is reminiscent of either a Japanese horror film, or a Hollywood thriller with many unknowns, or the plot of a mystical novel about, for example, the world conspiracy of the Illuminati. But why would they want a random Canadian tourist?
Or is it not accidental?
However, everything is in order. Let's consider the most common versions of Eliza's death on the Internet.
Murder - accidental or planned
Some netizens claim that Eliza's inappropriate behavior in the elevator is the result of drug or alcohol intoxication. At home, in Canada, the girl did not drink and was not interested in prohibited substances. Perhaps, in five days in such a nest of debauchery as Los Angeles, she managed to get into a bad company that treated her to drugs.
According to this version, it was with new acquaintances - or with the characters of narcotic hallucinations - that Eliza talked while running out of the elevator. Once on the roof with the “company”, she could somehow upset the satellite or satellites, and she was drowned in the tank. The suspicion here should be, first of all, the personnel of "Cecil", because only they could have direct access to the tanks and stairs.

But the case fell apart - not a single suspect could be identified. Interesting results came from the pathologist. According to them, no known drugs and hallucinogens, alcohol were found in the tissues of the tourist. Also, no traces of any violence against her were found: blows, abrasions, traces of a struggle are absent. Moreover, it was established that death occurred in the water - she choked, but did not try to avoid it. An extract from Toronto claims that she was not registered and was not seen in subcultural associations, did not express a desire to commit suicide, etc.
Based on the results of the autopsy, a decision was made - the case was closed, death was declared an accident. How did Eliza get on the roof, how to explain her strange behavior before her loss - and, apparently, death - all these questions remained unanswered.
Suicide
Many researchers of this case are sure that Eliza suffered from schizophrenia or another mental disorder, although her relatives do not confirm the version. This is evidenced by the unusual behavior of the girl in the video and several blog entries. Plus, none of her acquaintances in Vancouver knows why she suddenly went to California alone. According to the testimony of doctors, the symptoms of schizophrenia can be hidden until a certain time and appear under stress.

Recently, however, in her diary on the blog site Tumblr.com, Eliza wrote that she is getting rid of her depression. She described her trip to the USA as a trip to cheer up, new impressions, stories. Eliza loved fashion and music, took a lot of photographs, was a fan of the Harry Potter novels and the actor Ryan Gosling, and talked on the Web. If it was suicide, it was not planned. In addition, according to the police, she could not climb to the roof on her own, find and substitute a ladder, open and close the tank.
Mystical death
This option is adhered to by fans of Japanese horror, expecting the imminent appearance of Eliza's ghost in the hotel corridors. An Asian girl who drowned in a water tank on the roof is a character in the famous horror novel "Dark Waters" by Koji Suzuki. In the book, little Mitsuko falls into a tank through negligence, left unattended, and becomes a ghost terrorizing the residents of a high-rise building. In the American adaptation of "Dark Waters" - let's note the second coincidence - one of the heroines is called Cecilia ...

Some associate the behavior of the girl in the elevator with demon possession or attempts to escape from a supernatural pursuer. Eliza looks at times cheerful, then scared, and the strange passes with her hands, if you look closely, are a bit unnatural. In addition, we do not see the one with whom she is talking ... perhaps she alone in this world could contemplate her mysterious acquaintance?
This version is played by a veil of despair and hopelessness that has been hovering around the Cecile Hotel for a long time. Mysterious suicides and murders often happened here, the hotel was a temporary home for two maniacs, as well as for actress Elizabeth Short, who was brutally murdered in 1947.
Illuminati sacrificial ritual
Eliza's disappearance day - January 31 - is the eve of Imbolc, a pagan festival celebrated on February 1-2. At Imbolc, a turning point between winter and spring, the ancient priestly religions performed rituals of human sacrifice to please their gods. This fact reveals a string of amazing details of the death of Eliza Lam, from which goose bumps goose bumps. Details from the present and distant past ...
Let's start with the persona of serial killer Richard Ramirez, who stayed at this hotel in 1985. He is known as a Satanist - some of his 14 victims after death were abused, similar to the ritual actions of the priests of Lucifer, which also include the Illuminati. By the way, Ramirez lived on the 14th floor, where Eliza's elevator ride ended.
A little more about numbers: the video shows which combination of buttons Elisa presses sequentially several times in a row. These are 14, 10, 7, 4 and the elevator stop button. The Gospel of John, chapter 4, verses 7, 10, 14 describes Christ's conversation with a Samaritan woman, from whom he asks for water. “Jesus answered her: if you knew the gift of God and who said to you: give me a drink, you yourself would ask Him, and He would give you living water. But whoever drinks the water that I will give him will never be thirsty; but the water that I will give him will become in him a fountain of water flowing into eternal life. " Isn't there too much water in one story? ..

The next eerie coincidence: in addition to the consonance with the English word "lamb" - "lamb, sacrificial lamb", Lam is the name of the demon, about which the legendary occultist and Freemason Aleister Crowley, the founder and member of several secret occult societies, spoke in his notes. His occult works have been quoted more than once by those who are ranked among the Illuminati and Freemasons. In 1889, while staying at the Cecile Hotel ... but only in London, Crowley wrote the poem Jephtha - an adaptation of the biblical apocrypha about a judge who sacrificed his daughter Sale to the Lord. The names Seila and Elisa consist of the same letters, and both names are translated from Hebrew in a similar way - "In Demand" and "Dedicated to God."
During Eliza Lam's stay in Los Angeles, the city was engulfed in an outbreak of tuberculosis, the test for which was called - you won't believe it! - LAM Elisa. This test was developed in Vancouver, where Eliza lived with her family after moving from Hong Kong.
The hotel building houses the office of the design agency Invisible Light, whose logo is very similar to the main sign of the Freemasons - the triangle of the All-Seeing Eye. Now the agency is not working, there is only this symbol on its Invisiblelight.tv page.
Signs and coincidences ... There are too many of them in this incident. The Illuminati or another force had a hand in the death of Eliza Lam, but the picture, made up of details, will give odds to any mystical horror film. On the day when the ancient priests performed human sacrifices, a young girl, possibly a virgin, in an unknown way finds herself in a huge tank of water. Her body decomposes, gradually dissolving into liquid. The population of the hotel with six hundred rooms drinks this water for two weeks.

Around the girl's name, her life, her last day, there are more than a dozen indications that she was doomed to become a victim given to water. As the ancient Jews, Celts, Germans ate the remains of sacrificial animals, the guests of Cecile unknowingly completed a certain ritual, using parts of the remains of Eliza Lam.
There are many questions in this story, and the main one is why?
