I went to another forum to post about this, but I want to reach out to people about this. Here it is.
A few months ago, my family started talking about going to Colorado to visit relatives and to see the mountains. Little did I know, a part of the plan was to tour The Stanley Hotel AND to get a hotel nearby (The Lodge which was right by The Stanley Hotel). If you don't know, The Stanley Hotel is what inspired Steven King to write The Shining. In a now known popular room called Room 217 (which I didn't get to tour because night tours don't allow people to go where people are sleeping), Steven King woke up from a nightmare of the hallway hoses strangling his son and thus created The Shining. And from that point on, The Stanley became a popular tour of the paranormal.
Back to our family journey, we ended up getting the condo and our building was directly behind The Stanley Hotel. Aside from the eerieness, the condo was nice. The only problem was that there was no air conditioning and we had to open our windows to get the cold air from the mountains. The other problem was how creaky and noisy the condo was. There was a hot water tank in a closet behind the living room couch and it made noises from time to time.
I will say that I am a paranoid person, at least I think I was the most paranoid out of the group we had. When it turned to night and the noises kept going, I was even more paranoid. I was the one who slept out in the living room in a fold out couch, and luckily, I was able to get some sleep despite the noises. On the first night, I could've sworn I saw a shadow in my peripheral vision to my left. I turned to see if something was there but there was nothing.
I saw another shadow again and I turned and a large shadow was moving from left to right and I panicked but I didn't scream because nothing happened after it disappeared. On the night tour, I saw something similar in the ballroom (Which is also closed off to guests except people on a tour). I got to sit on the staircase where you go up the stage, and I remember turning my head to the left thinking I would see something, and in my peripheral, I did. I turned and the translucent dark figure walking to the right was gone. At least, that's how I can describe it. This "shadow" person is actually three dimensional, unlike a shadow. I have taken pictures in the ballroom, and more of my story can be seen here:
There's only imagery, but I found it to be most effective. There are a lot of notable apparitions, like the face on my brother's clothing, the full body child behind the tables. Those ones you can definitely see, but the last part of the video is the creepiest of them all where we went to the underground tunnel under The Stanley Hotel. I'm willing to give you the original and brightened photos I have taken. You can have a better look at the photographs with the full images. The original and modified photos I have taken at The Stanley Hotel.zip
I have never been to one of those Halloween mock-up haunted houses as a child or teen but dang this definitely creeped me out. What do you guys think?
