Historical Ghosts and Phantoms
To some ghosts are no fear, but to others, ghosts are the fear that keeps us up at night. Now, I know what some of you may be thinking, “I’m not afraid of ghosts” or “Ghosts aren’t real” but you don’t actually know until you have witnessed it yourself. However many things can be debunked, what this means is that some things can be rationalized, but this is what we humans do, we like to investigate things, figure out the answers to unsolved questions that we sometimes cannot explain.
But let’s get to the real thing here; I’m talking about suspected ghosts in the state of Colorado.
Now you don’t have to be from Colorado to know its wide range of history, although we may seem like a forgotten or small state we have a lot to talk about, the beautiful view of the Rocky Mountains, great fishing, beautiful trails and campsites, and our quaint and friendly towns. But we also have a history of paranormal activity, like for instance, the Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, Colorado. This famous and historic hotel is known for its gorgeous view of the valley town, Estes Park, its grand rooms and fancy gilded lobby.
This hotel was built in 1909; it was built to be a Georgian style resort, much like the resorts on the Eastern Seaboard, its great for weddings, galas, and receptions. This hotel is also known for its famous client, author Stephen King and his chilling book “The Shining.” This book was written in Room 217 of the Stanley Hotel, but if you’re looking for a real scare then request Room 418, for this room is widely known for its haunting ghosts that do “go bump in the night.” Also, the entire 4th floor of the Stanley has been actively reported to be haunted by the sounds of children playing, even when there are no children….suspicious, isn’t it?
This hotel is also said to be haunted by the original owners of the Stanley, the actual F.O and Flora Stanley are said to ‘watch’ over the hotel. F.O can also be heard playing the piano in the Stanley’s music room, or is more commonly seen in the billiards room and lobby.
So when you happen to stumble upon the Stanley Hotel on your weekend getaway, try Room 418, you might just see a ghost, don’t worry they’re friendly.
If you’re a thrill seeker you might also want to try the also very historic Boulderado hotel in Boulder, Colorado. This hotel opened New Years day 1909, and for a $1.00-2.50 a night, you couldn’t complain. But now it is said to be haunted by ghosts and phantoms, so yes Colorado does have some ghosts to talk about. So whenever you happen to come to Colorado, please stop on by these historic and haunted hotels.
