    A lot of the mysteries mentioned here, are my favorites and I have enjoyed reading about them and puzzling over them. Recently, I have been reading up on the strange case of Elisa Lam..Weird situation altogether..Was it the case of a woman with a mental illness or something more?

    I'd say the cause of accidental drowning explains that or a suicide.

    I don't think she was murdered, is that what you mean by "something more"?

    The "something more" that makes people suspicious is her erratic and paranoid behaviour in the videotapes. She was mentally ill, though. I don't think that one is a great mystery - a mentally ill woman had a mental breakdown and unfortunately caused her own death.

    Yeah, that is what I meant..I mean if she committed suicide how did she manage to lift the lid off the water tank and then replace it? I read somewhere that the tank lid was locked and that it would have been too heavy for her to lift it all by herself..

    There was a link online which talked about some of the weird coincidences surrounding her death. I cannot seem to link to it right now. They are probably grasping at straws TBH. Still, whether or not it was suicide, it's a pretty interesting case.

    Yeah, her behaviour in the elevator was pretty strange

    That's not a mystery. Just mislaid. Being old myself I often mislay things. The real mystery is how they turn up where you had already looked earlier!

    Wasn't there an issue around the time stamp on the video footage?

    Well the more ye post about this, the more mysterious it appears to be!

    That's crazy that the lid on the water tank could have been shut behind her!

    Yeah there was, parts of it was slowed down and some parts were missing. You can see a video about the time stamp on YouTube

    I thought the elevator was acting pretty strange too. I mean, the Elisa Lam video shows her walking into the lift and pushing all the buttons on the panel. She is acting kinda strange, her movements are a bit erratic and she darts her head out the door a couple of times. The lift doesn't move. The door doesn't close. She has pressed all the buttons and the lift does nothing. Eventually after a minute or two the door closes, but the lift stays on the same floor even though all the panel buttons are lit up.

    You'd probably need to use one of those keys to stop the elevator moving, and you'd only have one of them if you worked in the place, but you may have keys to other locked off places too like maybe where she was found... hmmm *strokes chin*

    Did anyone else feel really freaked out watching that video of her in the lift?

    Any chance it's all fake and the hotel is trying to drum up a bit of business?

    The girl was found dead in the water tank of the hotel. Her body was only discovered after guests complained the water was discoloured and tasted foul. Not a great way to promote your business if it is fake.

    I dunno about that. It could attract the gore/true crime demographic. Jack The Ripper must be worth a few bob to London tourism. Maybe the same kind of principle could apply here.

    2 weeks. Wish I hadn't watched the video, I'm in the house alone and it is really creepy. Pity there is no audio.

    The hotel changed it's name after this incident .......... don't think they're looking for "true crime tourists" tbh

    Your own Wiki link basically 'solves' the 'mystery', but a more detailed rundown can be found here. There's nothing mysterious about it really. ;)
