Description
The Elevator Ritual, or Lift Ritual is an urban legend originated in Japan and South Korea. This ritual allows the player to reach a parallel universe by doing a floor sequence in an elevator. This ritual is simple and easy to be performed, unless you live in a small town that doesn't have a building with at least 10 accessible floors. There is 1 death linked to this ritual.

The death of Elisa Lam
The body of Elisa Lam (藍可兒), a Canadian student at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, was recovered from a water tank atop the Cecil Hotel in Downtown Los Angeles on February 19, 2013. She had been reported missing at the beginning of February. Maintenance workers at the hotel discovered the body when investigating guest complaints of problems with the water supply.

The hotel camera recorded a footage of Elisa acting very strangely in the hotel lift before she went missing, hiding and then pressing all the buttons before peering out strangely, supposedly she was playing the Elevator Ritual. Elisa also seemed to be gesturing to someone or something, outside the doors. This person however cannot be seen.
