đź‘» HAUNTED COUNTRY ROADS | THE STANLEY HOTEL
🏨 Estes Park, Colorado
In 1974, author Stephen King stayed at a grand historic hotel in the Colorado mountains.
His room number? 217.
That visit helped inspire one of the most famous horror novels ever written: The Shining.
But the Stanley Hotel’s reputation goes far beyond its literary connection.
For decades, guests and staff have shared stories of unexplained noises, unusual encounters and mysterious activity throughout the property.
The hotel even offers ghost tours exploring its history and legends.
Are these simply stories passed down through generations, or is something unexplained happening inside those walls?
đź‘» Would you spend a night in Room 217?
