Summary

Ever stayed in a haunted hotel? The Stanley Hotel, nestled in the Colorado Rockies, has attracted tourists, literary enthusiasts, and ghost hunters for over a century! Guests report experiencing eerie occurrences like ghostly apparitions and unexplained sounds, fueling the haunted reputation of this grand hotel. But what makes this hotel so spooky? Could it be the tragic history, the energy of past guests, or something else entirely?

The Stanley's ghostly tales include the hotel's original owner, Freelan Oscar Stanley, haunting the lobby and billiard room. His wife, Flora, a talented pianist, is said to play the grand piano, filling the ballroom with mysterious music. Perhaps the most chilling tale is that of Room 217, where a housekeeper was injured in a gas explosion, and is believed to still haunt the room. The hotel has been investigated by paranormal investigators, capturing strange occurrences on video and audio, leaving many to wonder if the stories are true.
