When 28-year-old travel influencer Sierra Lane checked into The Palisade Hotel in downtown Chicago, everything looked picture-perfect. Her Instagram followers saw a glass of champagne, a bubble bath, and the caption: “Finally some peace.”

That was the last post she ever made.

Room service said her breakfast tray was untouched. Her clothes were still hanging in the closet. Her phone? Charging beside the bed. But Sierra? Gone.

Security footage showed her entering the elevator… but not a single frame of her leaving. No footsteps, no guests, no sign of struggle. The door was locked from the inside. Police were baffled.

Then things got even weirder.

Two weeks later, a plain package showed up at Sierra’s sister’s doorstep in Kansas City. No return address. Inside: a dusty VHS tape, labeled only with the word “PLAY” in red Sharpie.

She bought a vintage player off Craigslist just to see what was on it. What she saw has haunted her ever since.

The grainy footage shows Sierra, clearly alive, sitting in that same hotel room. But something is… off. The timestamp reads: April 6th, 1993—over 30 years ago.

In the tape, Sierra whispers, “Don’t try to find me. The walls know.”

The FBI is investigating. Paranormal experts claim The Palisade was built over a demolished mental hospital that allegedly ran time-travel experiments in the late 80s. Reddit is convinced she slipped into a “time loop pocket” within the hotel’s structure. Room 327 has since been sealed shut.

So far, no trace of Sierra has been found. But locals say if you stay in Room 327 long enough, you can hear tapping behind the walls… and a woman crying softly through the static of the hotel TV.

Are you brave enough to check in?
