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. |
