原味人文风情：Don't look at her or speak to her. She isn't human.
不要看她或跟她说话。她不是人。
Hey! I'm Sapphire. Wanna hear something scary?
嘿!我是 Sapphire。要不要听个鬼故事呀？
We live in the age of information. Answers to everything and anything are available to us in an instant.
我们生活在这个信息化的世代。很多问题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，在这宇宙里还是有许多事情无法被解释。
In these next few chapters, I'll be sharing the most puzzling, creepiest, unexplainable events
在接下来的几个章节里，我会分享最令人不解、最可怕、最无法解释的事件，
that really happened, from unsolved crimes to common paranormal experiences.
而且真的发生过，从未破案的犯罪事件到一般灵异事件都有。
Our first story is about a young woman who checked into the Cecil Hotel and never checked out.
我们第一个故事是这样的：一名年轻女子在塞西尔饭店办理入住，却从未退房。
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.
位在洛杉矶市中心的塞西尔饭店于1927 年开幕。自从它开张以来，就一路留下黑暗的历史。
At one point, it housed famed serial killer, Richard Ramirez, who murdered his victims in his hotel room.
有一次，恶名昭彰的连续杀人犯 Richard Ramirez 投宿赛西尔饭店，在房间里杀了被害人。
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.
另外还有不少旅客跳窗的事件，以及其它未解开的离奇死亡事件—就像是我接下来要告诉你的故事。
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，一位年轻女子蓝可儿从加拿大飞到洛杉矶，并下榻赛西尔饭店。
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.
一开始，她被安排到一间背包客栈式的房间，和另一位客人共享一房。但是两天之后，饭店柜台接到一通电话。
"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，我要投诉。跟我共享房间的女生行为很诡异。我觉得很不舒服。你们有办法给她换房间吗？”
So Elisa was moved to a room of her own, and that was the last time anyone saw her.
因此蓝可儿被换到单人房，而在那之后，再也没有人看过她。
During her trip, she kept in frequent touch with her parents back home.
旅途中，她跟家中父母维持密切联系。
But when they didn't hear from when she was supposed to be leaving Los Angeles, they became worried and called the LAPD.
但是当她应该要离开洛杉矶却没有跟她的父母联系时，他们就开始紧张了，并通报洛杉矶警察局。
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!"
大约在这个时候，饭店柜台也持续接到客诉电话。“淋浴间的水压好低喔!”、“水龙头出来的水都是黑色的!”
So a hotel staff member went up on the roof to inspect the water tanks. He noticed that one of them was open.
所以一名饭店员工去了屋顶检查水塔。他发现其中一个水塔的盖子是开的。
He looked inside, and that's when he found Elisa floating in the tank.
他往里边一看，发现蓝可儿就浮在水塔里。
To this day, nobody knows how she got in there undetected. But there are a lot of theories.
一直到今天，还是没有人知道她是如何在不被发现的情况下跑到水塔里。不过有很多说法。
See, Elisa had bipolar disorder and depression and was on prescription medication to help keep her in balance.
其实，蓝可儿患有躁郁症和忧郁症，而且有在吃药来维持身体状况。
She kept a blog where she wrote about her struggles with her illness and seemed to be very open about it.
她生前经营了一个部落格，记录自己受对抗病魔的历程，且似乎对于她的状况抱持着开放的心态。
The most logical conclusion is that Elisa was off the medication, broke from reality, and drowned herself in the water tank.
这件事最合逻辑的结论就是蓝可儿当时没有吃药，与现实脱离，把自己溺死于水塔中。
Another theory is that she was playing the elevator game.
而另一种说法则是她玩了电梯游戏。
The elevator game is a ritual that originated on a Korean website.
电梯游戏源自于某韩国网站的一种仪式。
When performed properly, you can supposedly be transported to another dimension.
据称仪式在正确执行的情况下，你会被传送到另一个时空。
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.
玩这个游戏需要找一个至少有十层楼的大楼。而且最好是在晚上玩，因为你需要独自一人。
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.
你进到电梯里，以特定的顺序去不同楼层。到五楼之后，将会有一位女人进电梯跟你一起搭。
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说话。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.
当你来到了十楼后，出电梯便进入了新的时空。你仍将会在一样的饭店里，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，你的手机在这个时空不能用，而且你可能会失去方向感甚至是晕倒。
If you wake up without taking the proper steps to come back to our world, strange things may happen.
若你醒来之后没有按照正确的步骤回到我们的世界，奇怪的事情可能会发生。
So, what does the elevator game have to do with Elisa Lam?
所以电梯游戏到底跟蓝可儿有什么关联？
After news spread of her bizarre death, a surveillance video from one of the hotel elevators went viral.
在她离奇死亡的消息传开以后，其中一台饭店电梯里的监视器画面迅速流传。
It showed Elisa acting very oddly in an elevator, pressing random buttons, talking to seemingly nobody. Was she playing the elevator game?
影片中蓝可儿在电梯内行为异常，乱按电梯楼层键，还跟空气说话。她是在玩电梯游戏吗？
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.
从那次之后，赛西尔饭店便重塑形象，并改名为投宿缅街。他们可以更改招牌，但永远无法改变饭店内所发生过的事情。
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，你认为蓝可儿到底发生了什么事呢？有没有一个合理的解释，还是有更灵异的事情发生？留言让我知道喔。
