Welcome to The Oddity Shop, Where the Bizarre is Always on Sale! This week in the shop, Zach has the strange story of Elisa Lam and her time at the Cecil Hotel

The Cecil Hotel's story is as layered as the most intricate of novels, with chapters of grandeur, despair, and notoriety. We peel back these layers to reveal its transformation from a luxury establishment to a refuge shadowed by crime, introducing listeners to figures like Richard Ramirez who walked its halls. The hotel serves as a darkly fascinating backdrop to the perplexing disappearance of Elisa Lam, a tale punctuated by bizarre elevator footage and a blog that kept updating posthumously. Join us as we navigate through the eerie details and share our theories on this unsolved mystery that continues to captivate and haunt.

As we bid adieu under the golden Californian sun, we encourage you to engage with the stories we've shared by dropping that sunny emoji and keeping the conversation burning bright. So, until our paths cross again in the Oddity Shop, where the strange is standard, and every goodbye is just a prelude to another hello, keep it spooky and "creep it real.
