原味人文風情：Don't look at her or speak to her. She isn't human.
不要看她或跟她說話。她不是人。
Hey! I'm Sapphire. Wanna hear something scary?
嘿!我是 Sapphire。要不要聽個鬼故事呀？
We live in the age of information. Answers to everything and anything are available to us in an instant.
我們生活在這個信息化的世代。很多問題的答案很快就可以找到。
And yet, there are still so many things in this universe that cannot be explained.
然而，在這宇宙里還是有許多事情無法被解釋。
In these next few chapters, I'll be sharing the most puzzling, creepiest, unexplainable events
在接下來的幾個章節里，我會分享最令人不解、最可怕、最無法解釋的事件，
that really happened, from unsolved crimes to common paranormal experiences.
而且真的發生過，從未破案的犯罪事件到一般靈異事件都有。
Our first story is about a young woman who checked into the Cecil Hotel and never checked out.
我們第一個故事是這樣的：一名年輕女子在塞西爾飯店辦理入住，卻從未退房。
The Cecil Hotel in Downtown Los Angeles has been around since 1927. And since its doors have opened, it has had a very dark history.
位在洛杉磯市中心的塞西爾飯店于1927 年開幕。自從它開張以來，就一路留下黑暗的歷史。
At one point, it housed famed serial killer, Richard Ramirez, who murdered his victims in his hotel room.
有一次，惡名昭彰的連續殺人犯 Richard Ramirez 投宿賽西爾飯店，在房間里殺了被害人。
There've also been numerous incidents of guests jumping out windows, and other unsolved deaths—just like the one I'm about to tell you.
另外還有不少旅客跳窗的事件，以及其它未解開的離奇死亡事件—就像是我接下來要告訴你的故事。
In January of 2013, a young woman named Elisa Lam flew to Los Angeles from Canada and checked into the Cecil Hotel.
在 2013 年 1 月，一位年輕女子藍可兒從加拿大飛到洛杉磯，并下榻賽西爾飯店。
She was first placed in a hostel-style room, where she shared with another guest. But after two days, the front desk got a call.
一開始，她被安排到一間背包客棧式的房間，和另一位客人共享一房。但是兩天之后，飯店柜臺接到一通電話。
"Hi, I'd like to make a complaint. The woman I'm sharing a room with is acting very odd. I don't feel comfortable. Is there any way you can move her?"
“嗨，我要投訴。跟我共享房間的女生行為很詭異。我覺得很不舒服。你們有辦法給她換房間嗎？”
So Elisa was moved to a room of her own, and that was the last time anyone saw her.
因此藍可兒被換到單人房，而在那之后，再也沒有人看過她。
During her trip, she kept in frequent touch with her parents back home.
旅途中，她跟家中父母維持密切聯系。
But when they didn't hear from when she was supposed to be leaving Los Angeles, they became worried and called the LAPD.
但是當她應該要離開洛杉磯卻沒有跟她的父母聯系時，他們就開始緊張了，并通報洛杉磯警察局。
Around the same time, the front desk kept getting more complaints. "The water pressure in the shower is so low!" "The tap water is all black!"
大約在這個時候，飯店柜臺也持續接到客訴電話。“淋浴間的水壓好低喔!”、“水龍頭出來的水都是黑色的!”
So a hotel staff member went up on the roof to inspect the water tanks. He noticed that one of them was open.
所以一名飯店員工去了屋頂檢查水塔。他發現其中一個水塔的蓋子是開的。
He looked inside, and that's when he found Elisa floating in the tank.
他往里邊一看，發現藍可兒就浮在水塔里。
To this day, nobody knows how she got in there undetected. But there are a lot of theories.
一直到今天，還是沒有人知道她是如何在不被發現的情況下跑到水塔里。不過有很多說法。
See, Elisa had bipolar disorder and depression and was on prescription medication to help keep her in balance.
其實，藍可兒患有躁郁癥和憂郁癥，而且有在吃藥來維持身體狀況。
She kept a blog where she wrote about her struggles with her illness and seemed to be very open about it.
她生前經營了一個部落格，記錄自己受對抗病魔的歷程，且似乎對于她的狀況抱持著開放的心態。
The most logical conclusion is that Elisa was off the medication, broke from reality, and drowned herself in the water tank.
這件事最合邏輯的結論就是藍可兒當時沒有吃藥，與現實脫離，把自己溺死于水塔中。
Another theory is that she was playing the elevator game.
而另一種說法則是她玩了電梯游戲。
The elevator game is a ritual that originated on a Korean website.
電梯游戲源自于某韓國網站的一種儀式。
When performed properly, you can supposedly be transported to another dimension.
據稱儀式在正確執行的情況下，你會被傳送到另一個時空。
In order to play, you need a building that has at least 10 levels. It's best played at night since you need to be completely alone.
玩這個游戲需要找一個至少有十層樓的大樓。而且最好是在晚上玩，因為你需要獨自一人。
You enter the elevator and go to different floors in a particular order. Once you reach the fifth floor, a woman will get on with you.
你進到電梯里，以特定的順序去不同樓層。到五樓之后，將會有一位女人進電梯跟你一起搭。
Whatever you do, don't look at her or speak to her. She isn't human.
不管你做什么，就是不要看她或跟她說話。她不是人。
When you reach the 10th floor, you exit the elevator and enter a new dimension. You will still be in the hotel, but only you exist.
當你來到了十樓后，出電梯便進入了新的時空。你仍將會在一樣的飯店里，但只有你存在。
Be careful, in this dimension, your cell phone won't work, and you may feel disoriented, and even faint.
要小心，你的手機在這個時空不能用，而且你可能會失去方向感甚至是暈倒。
If you wake up without taking the proper steps to come back to our world, strange things may happen.
若你醒來之后沒有按照正確的步驟回到我們的世界，奇怪的事情可能會發生。
So, what does the elevator game have to do with Elisa Lam?
所以電梯游戲到底跟藍可兒有什么關聯？
After news spread of her bizarre death, a surveillance video from one of the hotel elevators went viral.
在她離奇死亡的消息傳開以后，其中一臺飯店電梯里的監視器畫面迅速流傳。
It showed Elisa acting very oddly in an elevator, pressing random buttons, talking to seemingly nobody. Was she playing the elevator game?
影片中藍可兒在電梯內行為異常，亂按電梯樓層鍵，還跟空氣說話。她是在玩電梯游戲嗎？
The Cecil Hotel has since rebranded itself to Stay on Main. They can change their signs, but they can never change what happened within its walls.
從那次之后，賽西爾飯店便重塑形象，并改名為投宿緬街。他們可以更改招牌，但永遠無法改變飯店內所發生過的事情。
So, what do you think happened to Elisa? Is there a reasonable explanation, or did something more paranormal occur? Let me know in the comments.
所以，你認為藍可兒到底發生了什么事呢？有沒有一個合理的解釋，還是有更靈異的事情發生？留言讓我知道喔。
