Colorado’s Rocky Mountains sits the Stanley Hotel, a place as elegant as it is eerie. Built in 1909 by F.O. Stanley, the hotel is famous not only for its grandeur but for its ghosts. Guests report phantom laughter, shadowy figures, and even pianos that play themselves.
In 1974, Stephen King spent a night in Room 217 and dreamed of his son being chased through endless halls. That nightmare became The Shining, forever tying the Stanley to horror history.
Today, visitors flock for ghost tours, Halloween events, and the chance to stay in famously haunted rooms. Whether you’re brave enough to check in overnight or just stop by for a tour, the Stanley remains one of America’s most haunted hotels.
Would you dare spend the night? I would.
