The Story

Georgia Public Broadcasting retells a legend of housekeeper Emily Mae and her daughter Emma falling down an elevator shaft after a violent argument. The reported aftermath is especially concentrated on the third floor: a child’s running footsteps and a woman in black briefly reflected in a mirror. Staff also describe pots and pans leaving counters without an apparent cause. Other tellings vary the mother/daughter names. This profile follows the named GPB version and treats the elevator tragedy as legend.
