Cecil Hotel hauntings

The Cecil Hotel in Los Angeles is infamous for its dark history of suicides, murders, and housing serial killers. This reputation was amplified by the 2013 death of Elisa Lam, who was found in a rooftop water tank after acting erratically in an elevator. Psychologically, places like this evoke dread because their confusing architecture, age, and association with death trigger evolutionary alarms about ambiguous threats.
