Crime Scene: The Vanishing at The Cecil Hotel

The shear number of weird goings on and the strange guests that The Cecil Hotel in L.A has seen over the years is truly fascinating... murders, suicides and residents such as Richard Ramirez spark interest in me and so many others. One of the most famous features the strange behavior and subsequent disappearance of Elisa Lam - most of us with an interest in 'the strange' have seen the elevator video, and this documentary on Netflix goes into great depth and detail about her story and eventual discovery in one of the water tanks on the roof. Answers are given, and without handing out any spoilers, I would highly recommend this show - even with some conclusions, the number of synchronicities given in episode 3 cannot fail but grab one's attention. It is the story of a young woman, what happened to her and the impact it had on those staying at The Cecil...well worth a watch.

Festive Achievement - May The Force Be With You.

As we all know too well, this holiday period has been less than normal, we have spent it at home trying to amuse ourselves so we did the ultimate in laziness (with the occasional walk) and watched every single Star Wars film...in the correct order...including Solo and Rogue One. I have to say, it was so good, I have seen the films before of course, but never in sequence and it really did open up the story to it's fullest. In previous years we have watched other series simply because they have been on TV (Harry Potter was a good year) but after treating ourselves to Disney + so we could watch The Mandalorian it seemed right to take full advantage!

I hope you had a restful Christmas and that 2021 is kinder to us all.

May the force be with you!
