You check into your hotel room. Hours later, someone starts rattling the door handle. Then the breathing starts.
Welcome to the Cecil Hotel.
Standing in downtown Los Angeles, the Cecil has become infamous for a history involving mysterious deaths, suicides, serial killers and reported paranormal activity. Richard Ramirez—the Night Stalker—once stayed here. Austrian serial killer Jack Unterweger did too. And decades later, the disappearance and death of 21-year-old Elisa Lam would make the hotel notorious around the world.
But behind the famous cases are countless stranger stories.
Guests have claimed to hear unexplained knocks and footsteps, encounter malfunctioning elevators, see shadows where nobody is standing and experience things that seem almost impossible to explain.
Some believe the Cecil Hotel is genuinely haunted. Others think its frightening reputation is the inevitable shadow cast by everything that happened within its walls.
Either way, one question remains: Would you spend a night there?
