Haunted Hotel: Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, ColoradoHaunted Hotel Story of the Stanley Hotel: If you are a Stephen King fan, request room 217. It was in this room that King, inspired by the Stanley Hotel, wrote half of "The Shining." The ABC miniseries was filmed at the Stanley Hotel as well. The Stanley Hotel Haunting: The ghosts in the Stanley Hotel aren't evil as in the book. Room 418 seems to have the most ghostly activity reported. In fact, the entire fourth floor of the Stanley Hotel (formerly the servants quarters) is quite active. Often, the sound of children playing in the halls of the Stanley can be heard, even when no children are present.The Stanleys: The Stanley Hotel's original owners, F.O. and Flora Stanley, are said to haunt the hotel as well. Mr Stanley plays the piano in the music room, and frequents the billards room and the lobby. On a trip to the Stanley Hotel in July of 2006, we were given Room 217 without asking. After having a drink at the bar and dinner in the main dining room and listening to all the stories about Room 217, we were sure we were going to see or at least hear ghosts that night. Being really scared and staying awake most of the night all we heard was a moving bathroom door. We later found out the bathroom door does move by itself and has nothing to do with ghosts, we hope.
