Stanley Hotel - Outside Room 217
The third day we were at the Stanley Hotel was a Sunday. We'd arrived Friday and just looked around and made friends. On Saturday we took the advice of the locals and met them at the annual Estes Park Beer-Fest. It's not all about the ghost hunting, y'know (truth is, the ghost hunting is just the excuse... a sort of courtesy detail). ;-)
On Sunday several of our other friends who we met on the Queen Mary were due to join us, so I went down and arranged for tickets for everyone to go on the hotel's Ghost Tour.
The hotel does BIG business on the ghost tour they run, as well as a weekly Ghost Hunt they run in the evenings on weekends. This is our tour group and you can see there were a lot of people. Our group was actually pretty small compared to some, and there were probably another seven tours running at exactly the same time as ours. I couldn't tell for sure, but the entire time we were there I was tripping over multiple tours going up the main staircase or hanging outside room 217 as we are here.
After we stopped here to talk about the hauntings in room 217 where Stephen King was inspired to write The Shining, we went upstairs to the fourth floor. And that's where something... happened.
