DARK WATER & Elisa Lam, PSYCHO & Ed Gein

First, the strange case of Elisa Lam, a Canadian student whose bizarre behavior on hotel security footage went viral before she was tragically found dead in a rooftop water tank - eerily echoing plot details from the horror film Dark Water . Adam recounts his personal visit to the infamous Cecil Hotel in L.A. and reflects on the strange coincidences and conspiracy theories that continue to swirl around the case. Then, a look at the true story of Ed Gein, the real-life killer who inspired Psycho , The Texas Chain Saw Massacre , and The Silence of the Lambs . Adam shares what made him walk away from scripting the episode - despite the uncanny parallels to Norman Bates and his infamous "mother." Content warning: Discussion includes graphic details of true crime, mental illness, and disturbing real-world events. Visit magicalmystery.media Contact: magicalmysterymedia@gmail.com
