The chilling secrets of The Cecil Hotel and the mystery of Elisa Lam

Killers, Cults and Queens

TWO episodes in the same week?! You lucky beans. This week Nikki and Chez are switching things up as Cheryl takes the lead. Together, they're packing their bags and headed for the most sinister hotel the world has ever known (apart from the Castle... iykyk), The Cecil Hotel in downtown LA. How has one hotel amassed a death toll of an average of 8 deaths a year? Is the hotel truly cursed? And how did Elisa Lam end up in a water tank on the roof? Nikki and Chez are going to find out.
