our-spooky-world: Most Spooky Hotel 2017: Stanley Hotel, United StatesStanley Hotel is one of the most reportedly haunted hotels in the entire world. It has been featured on several ghost related shows such as Ghost Hunters and Ghost Adventures. The hotel was so haunted that it even inspired famous author Stephen King to write his novel The Shining. There are several “more haunted” spots throughout the hotel. The first is room 217. This room is the most famous spot in the hotel as it was where Stephen King got his inspiration for the Shining. It is believed that this room is haunted by Elizabeth Wilson, or Mrs. Wilson. Mrs. Wilson was the hotels head housekeeper. One night, during a storm in 1911, she was injured during an explosion while lighting up the lights in room 217. Although she survived, the traumatic experience has caused her to remain within the room after her death. Guests within the room have reported items being moved and their luggage being unpacked. Lights are often turned on and off. Mrs. Wilson is also old fashioned in that she will haunt any unmarried guests who decide to stay the night. These visitors have reported feeling a cold force come between them while they are trying to sleep. Two other rooms known for their hauntings are room 401 and room 428. When the hotel first opened the entire fourth floor was where female employees, children and nannies lived. Now visitors to the fourth floor, and more notably room 401 have reported hearing children running around and laughing. Room 401 also has a closet which is notorious for opening and shutting by itself. Room 428 has its own set of ghosts. Visitors to this room have heard furniture moving and footsteps moving above them, even though it is physically impossible for anyone to go onto the sloped roof. There is also a cowboy who will appear to visitors at the corner of the bed.Another spot that is haunted in the hotel is the Concert Hall. It is believed that one of the ghosts in the concert hall is Paul. Paul was known to do a little bit of everything around the hotel. One of his jobs was to enforce the 11pm curfew in the hotel. Now guests who stay out late at night will sometimes hear a voice tell them to “get out.” Paul is also known to occasionally nudge guests and workers. Another spirit to haunt this location is the hotel founder’s wife, Flora Stanley. Flora can be heard playing the piano. A third spirit named Lucy is also known to act up. She will often communicate with ghost hunters by flickering flashlights on and off. No one knows who Lucy was in life, although it is speculated that she was either a runaway or a homeless woman. Other haunted locations at the Stanley hotel include the Grand Staircase, the Vortex and the Underground Caves. The Grand Staircase is believed to be a spot where many of the ghosts pass through. The apparition of a woman has also been seen by multiple guests descending the staircase. The Vortex is where it is believed many of the ghosts travel through as it is a natural spiral of energy. The Underground Caves is another spot thought to attract ghosts due to its high volume of limestone and quartz (two materials believed to trap spiritual energy). Visitors to this area have reported shadow figures, voices, and cold breezes brushing past them.
