Throughout the years,
the Cecil has become this exalted space of crime,
of violence, of...
of... of... of spookiness.
So when it comes to the Elisa Lam case,
I think that we're hoping for a ghost.
I think we're hoping for a monster from the depths
that just came in and captured her and threw her in a tank.
Because it's what we've come to expect.
It'd be easier if we could just tell you
the Hotel Cecil is haunted
and it's got some sort of uncanny force,
but nobody knows that.
But there is something haunted
about a lot of pain and struggle...
and people having their lives fall apart in there.
It's not what we normally think of as a ghost.
But it does feel different in places
where people have suffered.
