LOCATION
Why is The Stanley Hotel said to be haunted?
Built in 1909 by inventor F.O. Stanley, who moved to Estes Park seeking relief from tuberculosis, the Stanley Hotel earned its reputation for the paranormal largely thanks to a single night in 1974, when novelist Stephen King and his wife checked into room 217 β nearly the only guests in the hotel before it closed for the season β and King reportedly dreamed the outline of what became "The Shining." Staff have long told their own stories independent of King's fiction: F.O. Stanley himself is said to still appear in the billiard room and lobby, while his wife Flora is heard playing the ballroom's piano late at night. Room 217 carries its own history β a chambermaid was injured there in a gas explosion in 1911 and reportedly still tidies rooms and turns down beds for guests who never asked. The hotel now runs its own nightly ghost tours through the property.
