The Haunted Stanley Hotel -- Day Two 

On my second day at the Stanley, I went on the ghost tour. We went to room 217, where Stephen King stayed the night and conceived the seeds for the Shining.

We explored the fourth floor, where I'd gotten so creeped out the night before. And we even walked through the tunnels beneath the hotel, where tree trunks still rise out of the cement foundation, and where the ghost of a little girl has repeatedly been heard playing.

During the tour I learned that hearing mysterious piano music issuing from the Music Room is common, and that the fourth floor has the most reported unexplained events.

I took more photos, many of which had glowing orbs. I was wearing out my poor, wonderful parapsychologist friend in San Francisco by calling him every ten minutes with yet another spooky story.


It was an incredible stay in a spooky and inspiring place. I worked on my current novel quite a bit there, sitting in a ballroom that stood completely empty. The hotel looked incredibly haunting at night.
