The Cecil Hotel in downtown LA Is back in the spotlight with the season premiere of "American Horror Story.'

The new season of American Horror Story was inspired by a tragic local story. A woman was caught on camera acting oddly at the Cecil Hotel in downtown Los Angeles. (Look at the bizarre elevator footage.) There were reports a ghost was chasing her. She was later found dead in the water tower on the hotel's roof. AHS Fans have been trying to book the room - many say it's haunted. But the hotel says it's off-limits now.
