no one ever "thinks much of it" and it's the most frustrating thing ever

[@allisonlasecki6018]

omg I think this to myself every time 🙄😂

[@brocowsci]

Critical thinking? On planet earth? In this day and age?!

[@toothless3835]

well, when you're from the city, you don't pay too much mind to other people's frustration in a public setting usually. they're arguing with someone or ranting to someone at a front desk/cashier/employee/on a phone, meh, it's not your problem. They're crying by themselves, sitting alone, standing sulking in the corner, not staring at you or anyone else really, Okay, whatever. That's what someone means they didn't think much of it. a situation that happens quite often that's not really your business you don't think about it at that moment. It's not until something else happens that makes you think back to the moment you saw that person or event in question because at the time it was so ordinary, but is in connection with something that isn't.

I’m listening to this while I’m staying at a sketchy hotel in the Deep South!

[@Sinvention]

Please double lock your doors!

[@RajaMCool]

@@Sinvention I did. It was very scary. My hotel was in the back of the building and facing the parking lot/road. There were a ton of sketchy characters walking around.

[@Sinvention]

@@RajaMCool I absolutely hate having to stay at places like that. When I was moving and driving cross country for school, I didn't have money to stay in a hotel room, so I parked in the parking lots and would sleep on the tail gate of my truck with my two dogs laying down next to me. One night I was also at a sketchy motel, and this guy came down the stairs, peeked around the corner and saw me laying down and started to walk to my truck and around it right towards me and my 6 month old husky just started started barking and going absolutely wild at this guy and he ran off.

[@RajaMCool]

@@Sinvention I was driving home long-distance from my brother’s house. He lives 800 miles from me. I had to take a hotel on the way. There weren’t many options available. Ended up staying in a very seedy motel in the middle of nowhere. Random people were walking around in the back. I asked the hotel staff if it was safe to stay and they said “it’s not the best but definitely not the worst.” I can only imagine what the worst looks like.

[@RajaMCool]

@@Sinvention I just read that there have been 3-4 shootings at that hotel this past year! That was when COVID was bad!

[@aksfishing4480]

I used to work I. Cleaning and decontamination once got called to hotel were a man had committed suicide they wanted the suite guest ready because they had a vip coming that night. Kinda messed up they had no clue less than 24 hours before there visit a man had blown his brains out in that exact room.

This is the earliest I've been in a while! Time to listen while I crochet hehe.

[@SNixon14]

The story about the Cecil Hotel was shocking. I knew some bad things had happened there like Elisa Lam's story. I just never realised there had been that many murders and suicides. Kind of reminded me of the movie 1408 which was also based off a novel written by Stephen King. I don't think I'll ever stay at that hotel. But it's quite an interesting story.

[@matchamelon330]

Ikr? I knew about Elisa Lam but I never really knew much about the hotel

[@Jenna-yi7qg]

If you didn't know, American horror story season 5, Hotel is loosely based on the Cecil and H.H Holmes ( and interestingly Elizabeth Bathory thrown in as well) 🙂

[@kathryncumberland]

Actually, its murder/suicide rate isn't any higher than usual for a hotel of its capacity. But stats aren't creepy, lol.

[@turnofevent8094]

nice voice in delivery of the stories, helps one picture the story in ones mind while one listens, like the old radio shows that families listened to in the 40s and 30s, no tv.

[@markj3062]

14:07 ah yes, so refreshing to hear something at the end of the story other than “I hope we don’t meet again” and finally hear something realistic

[@TruecrimeWithAlicia]

I love old stories. Gun slingers, hotels, esp stories with an ending. Great job once again!

[@cadenh03]

15:57 I LIVE in the town that Phillips Exeter Academy is in. The fact that a serial killer got his education more or less a stones throw from where I live is kinda disturbing

[@MikeyVonSwank13]

Thanks for the upload bro. Was wondering if H.H. Holmes and the Cecil would be mentioned in this. Wasn’t disappointed 🙌🏻👍🏻

[@markymark443]

Yea I got chills when he mentioned Elisa Lam. Something about Elisa’s case and that elevator footage is so unsettling due to how mysterious the circumstances are and how many aspects of it simply have no logical explanation

[@elizabethr.110]

Hoping things have gotten better for you.

[@katiechisholm]

If the dude just strangled her, why was there blood everywhere?

[@SNixon14]

Maybe she was also stabbed, it just wasn't mentioned. But what I don't get is how he knew this woman had been strangled, generally police/detectives don't release this kind of information to the public after finding a dead body.

[@lizrezac6470]

He said he strangled her before doing what he did to her body

[@annmariehogg3955]

@@SNixon14 they didn't put up any police tape and let people walk around near the crime scene so im shore they just said what happened as if it was general conversation.

[@brittanyreed6342]

Yessssssss love this topic.. u rock too!

[@markymark443]

I got chills upon the mention of Elisa Lam. There is something so off about her story, especially having seen the footage. You forgot to mention that Elisa can be seen in the footage mashing the close-door buttons yet the elevator door mysteriously doesn’t close. This means either the footage is somehow misleading in some way, or someone outside was pressing the button keeping it open, or some other-worldly force that our human logic can’t explain...all of these possibilities are unsettling to me. I definitely find it hard to believe she took her own life.

[@tablescissors]

I want her case re-opened. There is also much talk of corruption in the police force and her first autopsy was a joke (a common sign of mass corruption).

[@cheriejones3692]

The elevator incident is a game. My 12 ye old is a computer genius and pulled up information on it. She was playing a deadly game.

[@Deliveredfromevil]

If I lived in L.A. or had to visit, Cecil Hotel is 1 place I would NOT go to lol. I would be terrified to stay there.

[@kathryncumberland]

H.H. Holmes did intend for the third floor of his building to be a hotel, but it was never completed. There were no "torture chambers" or anything remotely close to that. The stories of the supposed Murder Castle were outright fabricated by the yellow journalists of the time. Now contemporary sources cite those stories as though they're fact. He did murder 9 people, but was only convicted of one murder. He claimed to kill 27, many of whom were found alive and at least one of which was his own previous alias. His numbers have been inflated to as high as 200.
