The Stanley Hotel in Estes Park is famous for reported hauntings, including spectral figures like the founder's wife, Flora Stanley, seen in the concert hall, and a homeless girl haunting the basement, along with unexplained sounds like children's laughter and footsteps, flickering lights, moving objects, and a mysterious gas leak linked to a former housekeeper in Room 217. Many paranormal occurrences are attributed to its historical nature and construction on granite and limestone, which some believe conducts paranormal activity. Room 217: This room is known for a "spectral chambermaid" and a historical incident involving a gas leak that caused extensive damage. The spirit of the hotel's founder's wife, Flora Stanley, is reportedly seen in the concert hall, sometimes playing the piano. Guests, especially on the fourth floor, often report hearing children running and playing. A homeless girl who allegedly froze to death after being evicted from the hotel is said to haunt the basement, and she has a reported fondness for Dum Dum lollipops. Other reported occurrences include shadowy figures, flickering lights, items moving on their own, and an invisible force separating couples in their sleep. The hotel's unique construction with granite and limestone is believed by some to act as a conductor for paranormal activity. The hotel, especially the staircase and basement area, is also considered a powerful vortex, acting as a portal that anchors spirits to the location. Stephen King: The hotel's haunting became famous when author Stephen King stayed there in Room 217, an experience that inspired his novel The Shining.
