True Horror Stories

Don't Go Into The Elevator

Guys, i'm gonna have to permanently postpone holiday horror week due to lack of finding any horror stories for the last holidays.

***These stories has been summarized to make it shorter***  

These ones are quite long so if you decide that you don't want to waste time reading them that's fine, but please read the last one as there will be another chapter dedicated solely to that mystery.

  At the beginning of Oct. my friend and I, who always went on break together, went to the elevator to go down stairs. Just as we turned the corner to the elevators I saw someone get on and the door shut. I then pressed the button and the same elevator opened (we have three). This means the elevator never went down. When the doors open there was no one on the elevator. When the door closed I saw three reflections in the door. Even though there was only my friend and I in the elevator. The third reflection was distorted because of how the doors were made. This figure was about six feet tall, had on beige pants and blue shirt.

  Riding to work with my carpool buddy we were talking on different subjects and he asked me if I knew Marge in collections? I advised him that I would have to see her. I asked him if he could describe her. His description is as follows about six feet tall. Always wore pants. I than asked how and where she died. Come to find out she died at work on the elevator of a heart attack. I could not find out what she was wearing. But I bet it was blue shirt and beige pants.

 My husband reached the elevators a little bit before me, pushing the button as I walked up behind him. The elevator farthest away immediately opened for him and he walked in, having it close immediately behind him. I thought it was strange but shrugged it off and pushed the button again. At about that moment, for whatever reason, it seemed time slowed a little bit and the light in the little hallway became much brighter - almost like the energy around me slowed or sped up - as if the folds of energy or whatever keeps us here on this plain were momentarily interrupted. Afterwards I explained it to my mother as if someone takes a paperback book and fans the pages out with their thumb.

I looked up to see the elevator doors open and a young woman maybe a little bit older than me with blonde hair pulled back in a ponytail wearing blue jeans and a pink pull over jacket entered the elevator. Not thinking anything was out of the ordinary I walked in behind her to find only my husband in the elevator waiting for me. I asked where the woman was that walked in here before me and he looked at me like I was crazy! He kind of laughed and told me there hadn't been anyone walk in here but me and him.

I am still not quite sure what happened to this day. She wasn't wearing clothing from another time. She looked simply enough like another traveler going to her room.

Horror Story  from EverythingLily

My friend and I were sitting in the elevator, acting like weirdos and greeting people. The 6th floor of the building was under construction and you couldn't even press the button to get to it. We're sitting there and suddenly the elevator moves and we find ourselves on the pitch dark 6th floor. We heard someone whispering in one of the rooms and closed that elevator door as fast as we could, we were so freaked.

I heard about this story a while ago and it's pretty famous story. 

The girl in the elevator is twenty-one year old Elisa Lam at Cecil Hotel in Los Angeles. On February 2013, Lam went missing for two weeks (what happened to her is explained in the next chapter). In the video, recorded by the security camera in the elevator, Lam walks into the elevator and seemingly presses multiple floor levels. She then waits for the elevator door to close, but strangely the door seems to be stuck open. She then proceeds to peak her head out o the elevator, looks right then left, then quickly jumps back inside. 

As you can see, after a few more seconds of waiting she moves to where her back is facing the wall of the elevator then scoots down to stand against the control panel.

As the video goes on you see her odd behavior and after a while she walks out, a few seconds later the elevator doors closing as if nothing had happened. 

So, did the elevator have a weird malfunction and it just happened to get fixed as soon as she left or was it something more on the paranormal side? Foul play could also be a factor, did someone want the doors to stay open- to freak her out or maybe something else?
