My Stanley Hotel Experince

Take a short drive out of Denver and you can visit one of the most notoriously haunted hotels in the country. The Stanley Hotel was so frightening and so haunted it inspired Stephen King to write his famous novel, “The Shining.” The Stanley Hotel was opened in 1909 by Freelan Oscar Stanley, known of course for the Stanley Steamer. Stanley was ordered by his doctor to go west because he had tuberculosis and the mountain air was said to be good for his health. He was so impressed with the beauty of Estes Park that he built the hotel. One of the best around, the Stanley Hotel was known for catering to only the very wealthy and famous. Today, it is believed that Freelan Stanley and his wife both haunt the famous hotel. Stanley’s wife was a piano player and there are many reports of the piano in the ballroom playing by itself. Guests have reported seeing apparitions in their rooms, only to disappear moments later. There are also several reports of guests’ jewelry, watches and luggage mysteriously disappearing. In fact, “The Shining” is so famous for its ghosts that it even holds ghost tours that take you through the history of the hotel, Stephen King’s inspiration in room 217 and many of the haunted rooms, places and the underground tunnel.  

 This way my first time I went to the Stanley Hotel and it was for a awesome event. The Stanley Hotel Horror Film Festival.
This was a wonderful experience overall we spent a weekend at Estes park Colorado the view was beautiful. We went and saw our Horror movie "We Are Still Here" which is a good movie.  After we watched our late night movie we hoped on a bus and went back to the Standly.  There was a VIP party going on for the film makers and fans who got the better tickets.  Our friends said let's sneek in and do our own ghost hunt in there.  Okay as the party was going on we snuck i from the basement floor we hopped on the old elevator love the Stanley Hotel going up to the top floor. We got off second floor walking and now I'm making too much noise taking pictures and of course we're going to the famous infamous room of 217. Took some pictures thought it was weird it was a really strange feeling like we found train if she does all in the same time and if for some reason if felt like china closet you need to be like some type of energy. The energy felt like an attraction that we had to go in there and pick do the little keyhole and then sure enough it was just the custodial closet. So we walk back only hit the first floor taking more pictures then we snuck into the party 6 more pictures. We got to see you later Wood from afar my crew after that I will return investigation went on for a little hour maybe 2 we went back to our hotel room called it a night. It wasn't for the next day I was looking through my pictures on my camera I found a few faces on the glass book self. But people tell me when I see this picture to go with us it's just the person from the outside I get the bookshelf I was actually up the stairs when I took the picture when I cropped in and zoom and that's when you are able to see it. Personal opinion the Stanley probably was haunted but now is probably worse because over here in people talking about bringing their Ouija boards and opening up doorways to a place like that is probably not going to be very positive energy in the future I will suggest if you do stay there bring your stuff for an Amulet of protection or across. But I can honestly say that yes Stanley you wanted it does have an A energy it's a must place if you're speaking to be proven at the spiritual lives live there your best of puppy EVPs to get something physical I seem to be the only one that ever people are just saying its matrix theme let's not I know what I thought. What I can say this probably the most physical counting that we solve wasn't in the town of Estes we were in a candy shop and had an old cash register as we walk in we heard candy being tossed into another barrel the police was filled with barrels against the wall. As you walk in in broad daylight we heard candy being tossed into another barrel as we turn our heads sure enough we saw it candies or by itself was jumping into another barrel and they were missing and hitting the floor return I looked at the lady who owns it older lady words said "yup the Stanley isn't the only place that haunted" she laughed with a grin on her face. We thought it was cool. This cool old town is haunted too so don't skip it. 

My 4th of July UFO

On the 4th of July I witness a UFO during all the fireworks. Yes I know it was at first I thought it was a rocket being shot in the air but I notice it kept ascending higher in the air then stopped completely and change direction. I happened to record it in slow motion on my phone check it out. Apparently I wasn't the only who saw the same thing that night.

Paranormal Magnetic experience

This phenomenon doesn't exist on the Internet, I tried looking for it for the past few years and still nothing.  I live near a laylines of natural energy in the city of Westminster.  I've wrote before explaining what laylines natural streams of magic or a higher sense of energy running in some areas of the world.  Yeah I know It sounds funny and laughable but most places that are built on laylines are always famous places like all pyramids, Stonehenge, and here close to Colorado we have a dozen of them. One happens to be by my house which in face the Westminster Castle is built on.

I also believe this is why there's a higher level of paranormal, phenomenon around this areas. It is also why nearby there's always a gathering of Wiccans and Druids doing their thing certain days of the year. my wife and I love to drive north  Lowell avenue, we enjoy the pleasant drive with the trees and low speed limit. On that single small road we have seen some paranormal stuff.

On another account we were driving another night on Lowell Street and saw a plane slowly hovering, so it was safe to say it was heading to the airport. We went to the store because we were going to the movies and wanted to buy some cheap candy to sneak in. We were probably in the store no more then 10-15 minutes. We drove back passing 104th Lowell Street and in the same location the plane was still there? Not moving but on the second look it had more lights making a triangle shape. We drove right under it, it was probably not very high, 300 feet, no noise from it. My wife freaked out and said just keep driving to the movies. We took a different way home coming back but my wife hates anything alien related. She said I could handle ghost, but aliens freak me out. I'm still wondering what I saw?? I do believe in UFOs but that wasn't 100% proof what it was. 

One night we both decided to go to the local store King Soopers and after getting our food and driving away around 1 AM in the morning inside the parking lot. We had the radio on but not too load and were having a conversation about nothing when all sudden she repeated the same sentence? I looked over at her and just then I felt myself lift from my seat and massive force pushing me to the driver window. I was buckled in and that hurt, the force of being lifted in the car seat. The radio went crazy and my driving was erratic , luckily it was an almost empty parking lot, this lasted over 5-10 seconds.  My wife felt her brain went blank and she didn’t know she repeated what she said. She also felt  a force pushing her to her passenger window. This felt like a glitch in the Matrix, we went home freak out trying to figure things out. I google it and found nothing of the same situation. Magnetic force occurs but nothing like this. In New Mexico, I did fine stories of what they call a bruja pass through you. Basically your sitting outside camping when suddenly you feel an invisible force grow through you knocking you to the ground.  I read they call it a Bruja "witch" who is flying around invisible?. I know sounds crazy but it was the closest thing I found to this situation. It almost sounds like a ufo adduction, I keep thinking of the night we saw those lights but it was years apart. Needless to say that area is and has a lot of paranormal activity but don't take my weird, UFO's have been seen nearby right off of 84th Federal.

Hallway of the Dead

We made this film back in June of 2009, this was a year long project which during my breaks I was writing, story boarding and ordering items on the internet. Just trying to buy things on Ebay was a pain in the ass, most of the time I lost bids to other jerks buying 16mm film cameras. I did get lucky and older  K-3 hand crank Russian movie camera from the 60's.

Now that I have the camera now I needed to get the 16mm fillm Kodak and that was also a bitch to get it coasted 160.00 including shipping . I lost bids for black & white film, because black and white will give me more of a chance to cheat with the blood effect and make up but no dice. I did 12 rolls of film, color film but at that point I didnt care I just wanted to have it. 

So I tested the camera, I had to download the manual book, I was expecting to say congratulations comrade for buying your K3. No it was just typical loading film into, check speed, ect ect. 

first thing I did was record my room and if you know anything about movie film this roll was only 100 feet which translate 2 minutes of film. So I'll use 10 rolls which is 20 minutes, cut and edit a 10-15 minute movie. You see being a former film student in the 90's digital was not respected at all. It look like shit, it look like your shooting a porno. Film made your movie protect look artistic, fancy, brave and film just looks better. That was the idea of using film was the risk factor from buying the roll, loading the roll in your camera, in a low lighting. Shooting the film and hoping it won't get over exposure. Taking it out of the camera, in a low light setting, then take it to get it develop  in your local film shop, IF they still develop film. Then waiting weeks and have it come back saying damage because some dumbass opening it seeing what's inside in a High lighting setting over expose your film, it's heart breaking, makes you angry and sad, I've been there one time with a project I made for film class. I still got a passing grade because my teacher was witness to my project. I don't think (what do you call them, now since they don't use film anymore) young movie students understand the disappoints it could bring but the triumph it make you feel. Here's a secret about film for low budget film makers, no matter how shitty your movie is film takes up a level. People watch your movie and say that sucked but it was shot on film. I did use 2 rolls on my family and friends recording them and took them to Costco film department and they also transfer to dvd.  I got it back watched it and loved it, perfect I said. 

It was showtime and I had over 20 actors show up to be zombies and victims, my wife was the make up artist. She was scared at hell thinking her make up wasn't going to be good at all. You see my wife studied special effects and making monster make up at the Buell theater in Colorado. She learned form the best and she had doubt about her awesome gifts. She made a 7 minute zombie face make up kit she came up with. There were suppose to be stage one zombies, which are new fresh corpse victims. 

In the day of the shoot only 12 people showed and not my main character either. I arrange everyone to be at a middle school which I rented for one day on a Saturday. I arrive at 10am to set up, food, story board, and scripts. at Noon only the 12 people got into make up, ate and were having fun. I was nervous, angry, and stress wondering where they hell is everyone else. Then I decided to say "fuck it" I'll rewrite the story and work with who I have. Then after that I checked my K3  and notice something wrong. I couldn't see through the lens it was foggy. I check the lens but no, I cleaned the  both lens and they were fine. I opened it and had to go in the K3 the internal glass cube which is the heart of the image to record onto film was foggy???? weeks later I took it to a camera store and had no explanation to how it was caused. Back to the movie shoot, I wanted to cry but I'm a man I wanted to punch the universe in the face. My wife happened to bring her digital sony cam. As they say the show must go on, I shoot it with the sony cam, I didn't write any dialog because I wanted to add just an rock opera music in the background. We filmed it and afterwards we went back to our home and celebrated with food and booze. I was an awesome feeling, I didn't like because It was against using digital and was bummed out. My wife edit the film for me and showed it one day at a party in front of our friends. Of course they applaud, happy, and cheerful. Now I uploaded onto to Youtube, I'm not asking for money I just want to show it to many people as possible. Please enjoy 

Westminster Castle of Strange?

Westminster Castle of strange?

by Ascary M.

You have seen it, it’s also known at the Westminster Castle off of 84^th Federal blvd. I see a lot when I’m in that part of town going to get a pizza from Blackjack’s and I look over to the west at the mountains and told myself what a cool building.   

picture by Elyria Swansea

Now own by the Pillar of Fire, which is a Methodist group but the Castle has had a long history of bad vibes and bad times. Built in 1892 by Architect E.B. Gregory with the use of cornerstone red rocks. I have a paranormal theory about the red rocks which are often found through all of Colorado but will discuss later. The doors open in 1898, The Castle was to be the Princeton of the west. It was a University. One incident happen in 1910 when a young girl died on the steps entry of the University when her head fractured but the question was how she died, accident, suicide, or murder.  1913 the University stopped admissions to women but in 1915 their enrollment dropped due the draft of WW1 by 1917 Westminster castle closed its doors and was abandoned.   

In 1920 the Pillar of fire bought and paid for the Castle for 40,000. on January 31 1920. The Pillar of fire founder was Bishop Alma White, changing her last name to sound more pure so she thought. The Pillar of Fire originated in New Jersey, Alma White was associated with the Ku Klux Klan. Her views on feminism, anti-Semitism, immigrants and just plan of racism was well shared. The Westminster castle or the red castle it needed over 75,000 in repairs, along with that the local farmer use it as a chicken coop housing over thousands of chickens for over two years. It took six years before it open its doors again but this time the Castle held Ku Klux Klan meetings, fire crossing and torture and murders of African Americans inside the Castle walls, so say rumors. Then again people have told me they cut down the hanging tree in the front, but who knows.  

According to www.shadowlands.net I recommend this site it's really cool. The Westminster castle is haunted by the victims of a murder that happened years ago. The haunting consists of faces being seen in the tower windows, or a ghost mist around the cemetery. 

A person I know told a scary thing they did when they where teenagers. Back in the 70's one of he's friends fathers was a custodian for the castle so around Halloween they stole their fathers keys and went in the castle. Of course one of them had a Ouija board it was the 70's. I'll say it again again "fuck you parker bros" for popularizing the Ouija board. The Dazed and stupid teens set up the board in the tower, of course they heard noises and felt things in the room and cold spots. When using a Ouija board your most likely summing unwanted spirits, demons and other. It can also open portals to dimensional, spiritual, vortex or other realms, so a big no no. I went one night, not on halloween, that's a big night for me, too busy fun. Anyways I drove up, stayed on my car and took photos using my night vision app and I would say I got some results but my phone started to acted up so my photos where a little funny.  I believed where the castle is located which is one of the highest peaks of Denver is over Ley Line.  Ley lines are magical, mystical alignments that can carry energy both positive and negative depending on what your beliefs are. This is why I believe the Ku Klux Klan use this area for their negative rituals of cross burring or hanging. Ounce on October I did see a bunch Wiccans doing a earth ritual, dress in purple, or course there using the energy for positive. Now the red stone which is used to build for homes and sidewalks, I also think has magical elements in it, but like I said I’ll explain it some other time.  This is also why people have seen weird things not just ghost, or moving mist but also a winged guardian (maybe gargoyle). It also has a massive fog covering the surrounding area soo thick but just in this area.

Hope you enjoy this and when your ordering your pizza from black jack and just look over to the west and see that big old red castle well now you know a little more about it and make’s for a cool ghost story. So it’s cool to drive by on Halloween night and take some photos, you’ll never know you might get an extra face or something else.
