Hauntings Of The Stanley Hotel

“Here’s Johnny!” The Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, Colorado, is hands down one of the most haunted and terrifying places in America. Ever since Stephen King’s 1977 novel The Shining inspired the hit movie of the same name, terrifying images have been forever burned into the minds of all its viewers, willingly or unwillingly. 

If you’ve ever exited an elevator into a long, ominous, badly carpeted stretch of hotel real estate, you immediately conjure flashbacks of the twin girls in blue dresses at the end of the most horrifying hotel hallway in history. Before entering the bathroom on the first night of your stay in a creepy hotel, do you hear the screams that follow the discovery of decomposing corpses in bathtubs? What about Tidal waves of blood crashing toward you until you wake up in a cold sweat, realizing it was just a nightmare (you hope)? Does Redrum mean anything to you?

Despite not being filmed at the actual hotel, these scenes are now synonymous with The Stanley Hotel. Although the novel The Shining inspired the cult classic film, it was a real supernatural experience lived by Stephen King on the second floor in Room 217 that shocked his imagination into creating the characters and storyline of the book. 

Join us as we detail the real history, real hauntings, and real unexplained phenomena chronicled at the infamous and haunted Stanley Hotel. Follow along as we investigate the portal that lurks within the shadows on the century-old property. Over the years, the ghosts that birthed many a haunting have lingered well past check-out time.

On this mind-bending journey into the haunted Stanley Hotel, we reveal everything, from the infamous Room 217 to the highly active fourth floor and the other ghosts of the Estes Park Hotel’s ghastly past. 

Why Is The Stanley Hotel Haunted?

The Stanley Hotel is home to numerous hauntings, which many say are caused by a portal hovering over the grand staircase. Mirrors facing each other allow spirits to enter freely into the world of the living. This energy has anchored many souls to this hotel, even if they did not die here. Many remain tethered to the Stanley because of the joy they felt in this hotel, the most glamorous in the West, now the most haunted. Apparitions of former guests mingle with the loving figures of the hotel’s founders and unfriendly haints in this whirlpool of spectral activity. It is a chilling scene to behold that only the most daring thrill seekers can handle.

Stephen King and Room 217

The Stanley Hotel’s claim to fame came to the 1909 hotel when it was needed most. Stephen King, struggling with alcoholism and chasing the high of his success from Carrie, went to The Stanley in the winter of 1974 with his wife, Tabitha. King booked a room at The Stanley before it closed for the winter. He intended to find inspiration for his third novel in this dark and lonesome place, far from his home in Maine. 

The hotel’s reputation as an esteemed mountain getaway at the entrance to the Rocky Mountains had long faded. The difficulties of keeping the hotel profitable during the harsh winter led to constant changing hands for the better half of a century, and neglect followed. 

Stephen and Tabitha King found themselves alone in the hotel, joined only by a housekeeper and a bartender. 

The couple was ushered into Room 217, where, unbeknownst to King, a terrible disaster occurred and left its dark mark upon the cursed room. After checking in, they headed to the dining room, where they dined alone, accompanied only by pre-recorded orchestral music. Every table surrounding them was topped with upside-down chairs, and the eerie atmosphere took them in.

After returning to their room, the young author began exploring the empty hallways. That night, he dreamt that a fire hose on the wall came to life and strangled his three-year-old son. A violent premonition of what had happened at the hotel, in his room, over fifty years prior. Whether or not he met any spectral entities in the hallway remains uncertain. But the foundations for The Shining took shape in his mind from that moment on. 

History of The Stanley Hotel

While King had already intended to write a story about a young boy with psychic abilities, the Stanley Hotel inspired him to create the iconic scenes now associated with the hotel. Then, in 1980, Stanley Kubrick brought this mind-bending world to the big screen. No one could have ever imagined these stories to be as terrifying as King made them out to be. 

An axe chopping its way through the bathroom door, “Here’s Johhny,” and a frozen Jack Nicholson in a hedge maze all came out of the one fateful night King Spent at this haunted hotel. Consequently, many aspects of the hotel today, such as its hedge maze, were installed after the movie. But what came before all of this? 

Let’s examine the Stanley Hotel’s history before we explore the hauntings that attract guests from around the world to its door every year. 

It all began with a tuberculosis-riddled automobile pioneer and inventor named Freelan Oscar Stanley. This enigmatic figure forever haunts Estes Park and has become a legend in Colorado’s haunted past.

Who Was Freelan Oscar Stanley?

Freelan Oscar Stanley was born in Kingfield, Maine, in 1849—also the birthplace of Stephen King. Were their fates tied together from the start? Could the ethereal entities residing in The Stanley have planned this whole ordeal? The similarities between reality and fiction run deep in this timeline. 

From a young age, F.O. Stanley and his twin brother, Francis Edgar Stanley, exhibited an inclination toward entrepreneurship and engineering. Their first business endeavor, which focused on refining and selling maple sugar, started when the two were nine years old. 

At age 10, the two geniuses began making toy violins. Being a Luthier had been a family tradition since the twin’s great Uncle, Liberty Stanley, first carved a violin sometime in the late 18th century. F.O. Stanley worked as a Luthier throughout his younger years. He made his first sale at 16 and kept up with this expensive hobby for the rest of his life. Many of his instruments are highly sought after today, and his nephew, Cotton Fairfield Stanley, would go on to create 500 of them. But this was a far cry from the family’s greatest successes. 

In 1883, Francis Stanley created a machine that coated dry photographic plates in a type of gelatin emulsion, significantly increasing the speed at which these plates could be made and, subsequentially, photos developed. Freelan joined him two years later after his career as a portrait artist had been cut short by a fire. They eventually sold this company to George Eastman, the founder of Kodak, in 1903. They had discovered a new passion: automobiles.

The Stanley Steamer and The Stanley Hotel

In 1897, after visiting a local fair, the duo shifted the energy to steam-powered engines. Watching a French inventor at a fair, whose wife’s inability to ride a bike safely had created a steam power bike, had lit a spark in their minds. 

One year later, “The Flying Teapot” came into existence. This steam car could reach whopping speeds of 35 miles per hour and was later dubbed “The Stanley Steamer.” Although they had a slow start, one of these vehicles set a world record, hitting 127.6 miles per hour in just 28 and two-fifths of a second in 1906. The Stanley Motor Carriage Company also provided pumps to the Allies during WW1. They folded in 1924 when the invention of the electric starter in gas-powered engines ran them out of business. 

So, what do these out-of-date inventions have to do with the Stanley Hotel? Well, the answer is the same reason you came here: the mysteries of the afterlife. Freelan Stanley caught tuberculosis in 1903 and, on his doctor’s recommendation, moved to Estes Park, Colorado, with his wife, Flora. 

The spirits of the Stanley were calling his name, just as they would with Stephen King half a century later. 

The cool, crisp, dry air of the Rocky Mountains was believed to be the remedy for tuberculosis at the time. But it was death that drew Freelan to the entrance of the Rockies. He wanted to die somewhere peaceful, where he could be at ease with himself and his surroundings. It was a macabre beginning to a horrifically haunting story. 

But that first summer proved to bring the withering inventor back to life. He regained nearly thirty pounds, and by the end of the summer, he was cured! A rare and incredible feat. 

Where Is The Stanley Hotel?

Estes Park became the Summer home of the Stanley family and, later, of the Stanley Hotel. But where is Estes Park? Before 1872, Estes Park, Colorado, was nothing more than an expanse of land seldom inhabited by the Ute and Arapaho native peoples and a few lucky gold miners. 

That year, the Irish Earl of Dunraven discovered this peaceful and pristine hidden gem. Claiming it as his private hunting grounds, he scooped up over 8,000 acres through a loophole in the Homestead Act.

After disputes with the local mountain men and a failed hotel of his own, “The English Hotel,” the Earl left Colorado in 1882. He sold much of his land to Stanley in 1905, who, healthy and hungry for a new business venture, purchased 6,400 acres of land for the town’s first Hydro Plant along the Fall River. Stanley and his associate, B.D. Sanborn later created the Rocky Mountain National Park in 1915 on this land. Many of their souls have been trapped here ever since. 

Stanley provided Estes Park with electricity, charging the residents only for light bulbs, not metered electricity. He provided street lighting free of charge, one of many acts of kindness F.O. Stanley carried out during his life. 

Then, in 1909, Stanley decided to share this great beauty he had found on the edge of death with the world. 

The Stanley Hotel’s Grand Opening

F.O. Stanley sought to bring comfort and elegance to the many seeking health and relaxation in the resort town he was creating. Construction on his grand hotel began in 1907, twenty-five miles from the nearest railroad station.

It was an undertaking that, up until that point, was unseen in the Colorado wilderness. Seven thousand five hundred feet above sea level, the hotel became a national phenomenon as it was constructed.

When all was said and done, the Estes Park Improvement Association transferred to Stanley 142 acres for his eighty-four-room hotel in the wilderness. Three hundred ninety-eight electrical light fixtures, ninety phones, ensuite bathrooms, and four electric trunk lines were installed in the new hotel. 

Stanley’s hydro plant provided all the electricity needed for heating, lighting, and cooking in the $500,000 hotel. It was a sight to behold, and socialites flocked from all over to enjoy the hotel’s stunning mountain views. 

On June 22nd, 1909, for its grand opening, the Stanley Hotel hosted over one hundred and fifty “druggists” from the Colorado State Pharmaceutical Association. They all arrived in Stanley Steamers from the distant Loveland railroad station, marking a high point in F.O. Stanley’s life and career. But these good times would not last. 

Disaster At The Stanley

Could the fact that The Stanley Hotel was the first hotel west of the Mississippi to be fully electric have anything to do with its spooky and sordid history? Electricity and spiritual activity are often connected, and many believe the spirits of The Stanley have always been here. Whatever the reason, it was not long before things went haywire in the finest hotel the West had ever seen. 

Newspapers.com

Mishaps began only a few weeks after the hotel’s grand opening. On July 7th, 1909, the Larimer County Independent reported that F.O. Stanely had fallen unconscious after being overcome by the fumes of a gasoline engine at The Stanley Hotel. 

It was an ironic situation for a man whose livelihood was directly competing with gasoline engines. It all occurred while Stanley oversaw the construction and installation of machinery near the laundry room. The gas-powered engines knocked him unconscious for many hours. 

While this incident was minor, it was a precursor to much more serious matters—oddly enough, also involving leaked gas. This time, however, the outcome was much more explosive. The Stanley Hotel would enter a dark period of decay, and the dead would come to rule over this kingdom. 

The Explosion in Room 217

Two years after its opening to the public, The Stanley Hotel experienced the largest disaster in its history, if not Estes Park’s. On the evening of Sunday, June 25th, 1911, at 7:50 PM, a colossal explosion alerted the villagers of Estes Park that something was wrong. While the boom was heard from over a mile away, it originated directly below Room 217 and would alter the history of the Stanley Hotel forever. 

A gas buildup between the dining room and the second floor created tremendous pressure between the hotel’s walls. Although electricity was readily available to the hotel’s guests, F.O. Stanley had installed a gas generator in his nearby manor and gas lamps in each room in case of power outages. The hotel had just been piped for gas usage the winter prior, and up until then, the system had never been used.

That morning, there was an indication that the electrical plant was having issues that could lead to failure. In response, staff was instructed to activate the gas system. The pipes filled with the orderless gas for the first time. They had likely not been tested, and the pressure led to the formation of a small leak above the dining room.

Head chambermaid Elizabeth “Lizzie” Wilson, or Leitenbergher as she is referred to in one newspaper article, ignited the escaping gas when she lit a candle in Room 217. Reports of the explosive event claim that a bathtub flew up into the air, several doors were blown off their hinges, and at least ten plate glass windows on the ground floor below the room shattered. 

The explosion destroyed 10% of the 70,000-square-foot hotel and all of the west wing. The damages were estimated to be $10,000, but the real damage had yet to emerge.

What Happened To The Maid In The Stanley Hotel Explosion?

Elizabeth Wilson, who had moved to Estes Park from Philadelphia and had been working on the hotel since it opened, was severely injured during the blast. Being spared the fate of the bathtub, she plummeted into the dining room below her. 

Miraculously, she did not die despite breaking both of her ankles. Two waiters were injured along with her; one was struck in the face with a flying plank, while the other suffered a painful but non-lethal dislocated hip. 

Newspapers.com

Some versions of this story claim that two other maids were with her during the explosion. One of them was thrown into a wall, but still heroically grabbed a fire extinguisher and fought the inferno the best she could. Many renditions of the tale state that Elizabeth, also called Elizabeth Lambert, fell into a coma. 

She stayed in the coma anywhere from two days to two years, but when she awoke, she went right back to work. Employees and tour guides at the Stanley Hotel say that Stanley paid her medical bills and made her head chambermaid upon her return. 

Five local newspapers reported the incident the next day. While there seems to be some confusion over the name of the person injured, there is a common consensus that the wounded were taken to a hospital in nearby Longmont. 

Whether or not Elizabeth, a woman of many last names, fell into a coma remains a mystery. But she worked at the Stanley Hotel for the rest of her life, dying of old age in 1950. Almost immediately after, reports of haunting activity in Room 217 began, and they haven’t ceased since. 

Hauntings Of Room 217

Since the late 1950s, guests have reported strange activity disrupting their sleep in Room 217 of The Stanley Hotel. The spirit of this tortured maid still resides in the room that forever altered her life. Unmarried couples often awake after feeling an invisible force push them apart. Little is known about Lizzie, but her actions in the afterlife speak volumes. She takes the luggage of single men and leaves it outside their door, letting them know their bachelor lifestyle is not welcome at The Stanley. 

Despite her prude attitude towards the guests, she is known to be relatively friendly to most. She spends most of her time cleaning the room, making herself as busy in the afterlife as she was in her waking life. Guests have reported seeing her walk through walls and interrupting their sleep for many years. 

Jim Carrey and The Stanley Hotel

There is a well-known story about actor Jim Carrey requesting to stay in Room 217 while filming the 1994 comedy classic Dumb and Dumber at the Stanley. The young actor quickly found out that the room more than lived up to its haunting reputation. Carrey was seen running out of the room in fear only three hours later. To this day, he has yet to speak about the event. Could Elizabeth Wilson have treated him with the same respect, or lack thereof, that she has with so many other young men? What did he see? It remains as much of a mystery as the rest of the hotel’s eerie happenings. 

Her spirit is far from the only specter haunting the halls of The Stanley Hotel and, if we are being honest, one of the least terrifying. The tragic accident in Room 217 is one of the only documented disasters in the hotel. Despite this, the hotel is crawling with multiple ghosts that have been sighted by dozens of hotel guests. The number rises every day as guests flock to the Stanley for its uniquely terrifying history and macabre hospitality. 

Each individual ghost and haunting has contributed to attracting the plethora of paranormal investigators and amateur ghost hunters who have swarmed the hotel in droves in the almost 50 years since The Shining was released in 1977. 

Portals Into The Unknown At The Stanley Hotel

Room 217, changed to Room 237 in the movie to preserve the hotel’s sanctity, is home to one of the many portals that exist inside The Stanely Hotel. Ideas, thoughts, and emotions have all seemed to have been transferred here from resident spirits into the different bodies and minds that have been unlucky enough to stay the night. After staying in the hotel for only a single night, King traumatically envisioned a firehose taking the life of his son. It’s as if Elizabeth’s spirit told King her story, and his mind reinterpreted it into something horrific that affected the most precious person in his life. 

But what other stories are being told and experienced at The Stanley Hotel?

Elizabeth is joined by many others who gather here where their lives were once happiest. Despite not dying at the hotel, something deeper seems to keep the hotel’s many spirits attached to The Stanley.

The Vortex 

Although Elizabeth’s death is one of the only documented deaths in the hotel, there are many other devious and disturbing hauntings happening in The Stanley Hotel. No floor or area, off-limits or not, seems to be free of spiritual activity. Many believe that the source of this activity originates in one spine-tingling region.

Paranormal investigators claim that the 101-foot-wide lobby and its spiral staircase are responsible for much of the high strangeness experienced at The Stanley. A portal above the stairs, created by opposing mirrors, is believed to entice the numerous spirits inhabiting the Stanley to stay past check-out.

Mirrors facing each other create a “metaphysical portal into the spirit realm,” allowing The Stanley’s spirits to remain where they were once happiest. Reports of female apparitions walking their way out of the Stanley Hotel vortex have been cited on news sites all across the world. 

It acts as a portal to hell, ushering in hundreds of confused and desolate entities, and is one of the most famous connections between the dead and the living in the US. 

Other rumors exist that the Stanley Hotel was built upon a Native burial ground. But doubts exist about this theory. In the movie, hotel manager Stuart Ullman explains to Jack Torrance that the hotel “is supposed to be built on an Indian burial ground.” While this has yet to be proven, the fact that this area was once Ute and Arapaho land adds some credence to the subject. 

Another theory is that high levels of magnetic quartz in the soil cause the hauntings. This was later disproven by the Rocky Mountain Paranormal Research Society. 

The Vortex is the only theory that at least holds some weight, and it has turned the Stanley into a spectral playground for its many phantoms and spirits. 

The Haunted Stanley Hotel

Many ghosts roaming The Stanley Hotel have been caught on camera, hiding behind visitors in the mirrors, peeking around corners, and lurking at the top of the lobby staircase. While some have stories and names, unrecognizable faces also wade into the murky waters of the Stanley Hotel. Here is what is known…

Hauntings of The Stanley Hotel

• Elizabeth Wilson in Room 217
• F.O. And Flora Stanley in the Music Room
• Lucy and the Janitors in the Concert Hall
• The Irishman in Room 407
• The Cowboy in Room 428
• Various Children on the 4th Floor

Run-ins with these spectral entities are everyday occurrences that have turned even the most blaring skeptics into hardened believers. Elizabeth Wilson and Room 217 may be the most popular story, but the others are well worth discussing. 

Lucy and The Hotel’s Downfall

Besides Room 217, the concert hall, the second building to the right of the main lobby, is the most haunted of The Stanley Hotel’s 11 buildings. It was built initially for Flora Stanley by her loving husband in the style of the Boston Symphony Hall. Multiple spirits call the concert hall home, but Lucy is the most well-known. 

Lucy lived in the hotel during some of its darkest days, long after the brilliant years following its grand debut. F.O. Stanley sold the hotel in February 1926, only to repurchase it three years later and then sell it again. The hotel then fell into the hands of various owners who found it difficult to care for. 

Frank Nomalli eventually bought it in 1974, the same year Stephen King visited and temporarily restored the Stanley. Nomalli created the Stanley Historic District in 1977, protecting the hotel and its surrounding buildings. 

But more was needed to save the Stanley Hotel fully. A lifelong pattern of seasonal revenue made it difficult to run profitably—one of the reasons Stanley decided to sell it. This cycle repeated with each owner, and in 1995, the hotel was again on the verge of bankruptcy and for sale. 

During this period, the concert hall had a hole large enough to see the sky, and Lucy found her way in. Her larger story remains unknown, but she lived alone in the concert hall while the hotel was up for sale. When John Cullen finally bought it for $3.1 million in 1996, she was discovered. Forced out of the soon-to-be renovated building, they say she froze to death, just like Jack Torrance in the hedge maze. 

The Ghosts of The Stanley Hotel Concert Hall 

Lucy’s ghost is highly active. Like many others, she is still happy to call the Stanley home and is most often witnessed in the room she once slept in. Visitors on ghost tours or brave solo adventurers have seen the door to this room open and close on its own. These actions are often accompanied by the strange whispers of a woman who is not there, sending chills down the spines of the living. Fodder for nightmares, the concert hall is a terrifying section of the hotel. 

Lucy is also known to manipulate flashlights during one of the hotel’s many ghost hunts. In the lobby, there is a photo of a hotel guest in the concert hall. Behind her reflection is the ghastly apparition of another woman, believed to be Lucy. 

Two other irritable and noisy spirits join Lucy in the concert hall: Paul and Edward.

Both were handymen at The Stanley and are eternally tending to their former office in torment. Paul died of a heart attack, surviving the initial attack but dying in the car on the way to the hospital. He often yells at others to get out and is very particular about closing time. Chillingly, his ghost is most active after the 11 p.m. curfew that he once so proudly enforced. 

Edward is even less friendly than his counterpart. Loud and aggressive bangs have been reported in the concert hall near the front of the building where he once worked. Tour guides at the Stanley said he wasn’t a big fan of people in life, and it seems nothing changed. Many unpleasant runs in with his spirit have made the concert hall an epicenter of activity. 

F.O. Stanley and Flora Stanley

Freelan and Flora Stanely are said to haunt their beloved hotel alongside their faithful workers. The 217 Wine Bar in the lobby, once the music room, features a seven-and-a-half-foot Steinway piano that once belonged to Mrs. Stanley. Flora Stanley suffered a stroke in the Stanley and died ten days later. She was a woman who loved the Rocky Mountains as much as her husband. But more so, she loved playing music–a passion she has carried over into the afterlife.

Her piano is often heard eerily playing itself late at night, and it seems Mrs. Stanley isn’t comfortable with just anyone playing her prized possession. The piano cover has slammed down on many fingers, attempting to tickle her ivories without permission. 

F.O. Stanley, who passed away in 1940, hangs around his wife in the music room. They both enjoyed the long evenings spent entertaining their guests. His face is often seen in reflections throughout the lobby. Somehow, it even worked its way into an American flag gifted to the hotel, seemingly burning his image into this patriotic gift. 

There have been many reports of parties carrying on late into the night in the ballroom nearby. The clink of glasses and cheerful laughter echo through the empty hotel in the winter months. F.O. Stanley has often been seen here in this room, enjoying the fruits of his labor. 

The 4th Floor, The Cowboy and The Irishman

The fourth floor of the main building is even more filled with the unending dead than the lobby. Small ghost children have been spotted running around the floor. Many visitors leave lollipops for them as small treats, only to find many of them moved to new and hard-to-reach locations the following day. While this may seem sweet, the rest of the floor is not so innocent. 

Hiding in Rooms 407 and 428, the Irishman and the Cowboy have become infamous figures in the hotel. Both hold identities that extend far into Rocky Mountain history. 

Room 407 at The Stanley Hotel is known to be the home of an enraged Irishman who watches silently from the corner, flickering lights and sometimes pulling on hair. He has been named Lord Dunraven, alluding to the unpopular Irish Earl who once ruled the land. 

Room 428 breeds a different anomaly: they say mountain man Jim “Rocky Mountain” Nugent. Rocky Mountain Jim was an infamous outlaw in the years preceding Colorado’s statehood. Half his face was disfigured from a grizzly bear fight, and his name struck fear in the hearts of people across the Rockies. 

He opposed Lord Dunraven purchasing his land in the 1870s and was shot for it, dying months later with a bullet lodged in his brain. 

Guests in Room 428 say they feel the presence of a man sitting at the foot of their bed. Female guests have even reported the tickle of phantom lips brushing them awake in the middle of the night. 

The Stanley Hotel is a place where history comes alive. The spirits of Lord Dunraven and Rocky Mountain Jim have reentered Estes Park, a place they loved violently, through the vortex like the rest. It is uncertain that they will ever leave. 

The Overlook Hotel Real Life

Are they real? Was any of it real? These are the same questions one is left asking themselves after watching The Shining, even if it’s for the 18th time. 

Stephen King may have thought the same thing when he left Estes Park that winter. King said there was only one bartender and a housekeeper there that evening. Did they exist, or were they the apparitions of F.O. Stanley and Elizabeth Wilson welcoming an author searching for his next big hit? 

The Stanley Hotel is a playground for the living and a home for the dead. It’s a special place where the many guests of the Stanley are immortalized in our minds and imaginations. 

Who were the ghost children on the fourth floor? We may never know. Any number of people could have visited the Stanley early in life and decided to return to that simple time. F.O. is still watching over them, whether by coincidence or not.  

King’s interaction with the magic residing within The Stanley kept the glamorous hotel alive just a little longer. The flickering electricity of Stanley’s Hydro Plant may have done the same for the many souls hunkering down in the old hotel. 

The similarities between Stephen King’s imagination and the story of The Stanley are plentiful. F.O. Stanley and his twin brother echo the twin girls in the hallway. The boiler room, the lone and mysterious bartender, and the frozen corpse of a madman—they all draw inspiration from The Stanley’s twisted story. Even if they are taken out of time and place. 

But none of that matters when you are in good company at The Stanley Hotel.
