-The Movie “Dark Water”-

The story of Elisa Lam is eerily similar to the 2005 horror movie Dark Water. Dahlia, the main protagonist of the movie moves into an apartment building with her young daughter Cecilia. Both of these names are relevant. Black Dahlia is the nickname given to Elizabeth Short, a woman who was the victim of a gruesome murder in 1947 – one that appeared to be particularly ritualistic. The case was never solved. According to LA Observed, it is rumored that Black Dahlia was at Cecil Hotel right before she lost her life.

“The Black Dahlia, Elizabeth Short, is alleged in at least one book to have hung out at the Cecil and drank at the bar next door before she disappeared in 1947, though cultural historians Kim Cooper and Richard Schave of Esotouric say that’s just rumor.”
In the movie, the daughter’s name, Cecilia, is, obviously, quite similar to the name Cecil Hotel.

After moving into her apartment, Dahlia notices dark water leaking from the ceiling in her bathroom. She ultimately discovers that a young girl named Natasha Rimsky drowned in the building’s rooftop water tank, which caused the water to turn black. The owner of the apartment building knew about this fact but refused to take action. Elisa Lam’s body was in the water tank for over two weeks, causing hotel guests to complain about foul tasting “black water”.

The ending of the movie is also eerily relevant: The apartment buildings elevator malfunctions and the ghost of Cecilia’s mother braids her hair. Is Elisa Lam’s death one of those ritualistic murders that are synchronistically mirrored in a Hollywood movie?

-Another Strange Coincidence-

Shortly after the discovery of Elisa Lam’s body, a deadly outbreak of tuberculosis occurred in Skid Row, near Cecil Hotel. You probably won’t believe the name of the test kit used in these kinds of situations: LAM-ELISA. That is hardcore synchronicity.

*cries*

this is the only thing to have creeped me out so far... seriously weird

All righty... anyone with time on their hands who really wants something creepy to read needs to head on over to nosleep and read 'Footsteps'..

It's long, but it's worth it..

This just isn't scary to me

Seriously I'm probably the biggest pussy on the forum and i think only one thing has scared me in this thread...

Was that story meant to be real?

ok salman you can run this thread with me

This is a true personal story to do with me (Germyle) not a copy of anything

I always say that 2012 was the worst year of my life and i'll always stand by it, I think the year was cursed with reasons relative to my life. I started off having a really bad dream of seeing a plane accident, it wasn't a normal dream because it felt so frighteningly real, like, I heard it in the sky coming closer and closer and then it will eventually crash. I told my mum about it and she also thought it was strange, weird things started to happen during the year; nothing good, all bad. I had the same dream again and it was almost exactly the same, only it crashed into my house not long after I had the dream I lost my grandma in summer 2012 :bawling: her death was very unexpected as well. I had the same dream for the third time and but this time it was in another place (in Bristol), not long after that I found out that my friends mum passed away which was a shock to everyone because she was literally everyone's friend. I started to get a bit suspicious but didn't think anything of it until I had the same dream AGAIN and not long after that another person died, what was weird was that I didn't know her; but my mum did and she was related to my mums partner. This lead into 2013 where believe it or not I had the same dream a.g.a.i.n and two people passed away and had the same cause of death :s . Now I knew that every time I have this horrible dream, someone around me or my loved ones pass away. I haven't had the same dream since then but I've had other nightmares, this doesn't mean to say that I'm still not living in fear. Can I just also remind you that all of what I have just said is 100% true

What I find weird is that the only dream I had with the plane crashing into my house was the connection to my grandma, almost as if the person passing away would be closest to home. The rest of them didn't take part anywhere near my house, come to think of it, I don't even know where it crashed, I can't remember. What is also weird is that all of these deaths were unexpected, none of them deserved to die.

This is like the most personal post i've shared with tibb/online in general but yeah I thought I'd let you guys know

So glad that I discovered TIBB, like, it literally helped me block out all the madness that I was going through in 2012

omg :/ your 2012 is like my 2011 (except overall I enjoyed 2011, despite the crap that happened)

I almost fell through a ceiling window of a garage (long story) but held on to the sides with my elbows (it weren't that wide). Nothing happened thankfully apart from the glass just cutting up my skin, it was terrifying though and I don't know what I would have done if I was there alone. Then a few days later I was involved in a small car collision which has never happened to me before. Then a few weeks later, within the same fortnight both my grandmas died.. on the EXACT day a week apart (Sunday). The grandma who died first was in a critical condition at the time so it didn't come from out the blue; with the second death though it was completely unexpected. All this happened in August and the first few days of September btw, I remember the riots happened that month too. Such a weird time

omg that's also weird, you were like depressed on my birthday then (sept 4th) :( that garage thing sounds really painful. Also I haaaate car accidents, my aunty and cousin was also involved in one in 2011. The riots were a bit meh in bristol because I got to miss work so I was kind of enjoying it (until the man from birmingham got killed), obv in london it was worse

2012 was a bad year for me too. Very crap year.

Thanks for that link, I got through them all earlier today, it was a really good read I kept thinking whilst reading that it could be made into a decent movie :laugh:

You got any more links like that?

Did you read all the parts?

Uh.. I've read a few decent ones.. I'll dig them out and post them here. :) I love nosleep.. there's a lot of s.hite in it, but there are a few gems too.

Have you read all the parts of that one? Its really good.

Thanks Chewy that was a good read too.

White text on a black background is brutal on the eyes though I wish people wouldn't do that.

..I read up to 'Maps' last night but was tired so I'll try to read the rest tonight/I don't know how many there are....

I have read them all now..they are well written, if a little predictable but I'm not sure if they're real.
