Estes Park
Stanley Hotel Ghost Tour
The Stanley Hotel is a 138-room Georgian hotel built by Freelan O. Stanley of Stanley Steamer fame. The hotel opened on July 4, 1909, catering to the rich and famous, including the Titanic survivor Margaret Brown, John Philip Sousa, Theodore Roosevelt, the Emperor and Empress of Japan and a variety of Hollywood personalities
Many believe the Stanley Hotel is haunted and a number of cases of ghostly activity have been reported, primarily in the ballroom. Kitchen staff reported hearing a party going on in the ballroom, only to find it empty. People in the lobby have allegedly heard someone playing the ballroom's piano, but employees investigating the music found nobody sitting at the piano. Others reported to have seen ghosts in their rooms in the middle of the night, simply standing in their room before disappearing.
