There was a guest in that room, so we couldn't go in. Was lucky that 217 wasn't occupied and we could. <br /><br />The picture of the basement tunnel is where they heard the little boy laughing or talking, or something like that. The only way I could see was by taking pictures and using my flash...it was pitch black back in there. I kept running into pipes and tripping on boulders in the path. Spooky!! <br /><br />The piano in the first couple of pictures is the one that plays in the middle of the night when no one is around. One lady was found playing it...real lady. The staff asked her to stop, and she said "that's ok, it's out of tune anyway." The cover slammed down onto her hands right after she said it. :-) <br /><br />We really HAVE to stay the night in my lifetime. :-)Nejhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00982042722943000994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6343570879387481239.post-16085433834528435962010-01-13T09:40:24.265-06:002010-01-13T09:40:24.265-06:00I think I remember Ghost Hunters being there and f...I think I remember Ghost Hunters being there and finding a lot of EVPs and, if I remember correctly, that's the one where they actually caught a closet door opening (might have been in room 217) and <i>then</i> the ironing board came out (or something like that).MJenkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12761003604210840898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6343570879387481239.post-78018345786561295342010-01-12T13:13:59.307-06:002010-01-12T13:13:59.307-06:00@ Moonspun - we love it there!!!!!!!!!!!!! :-)@ Moonspun - we love it there!!!!!!!!!!!!! :-)Nejhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00982042722943000994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6343570879387481239.post-9762494903650266902010-01-12T13:11:47.665-06:002010-01-12T13:11:47.665-06:00Your trip makes me want to go to Colorado!Your trip makes me want to go to Colorado!Moonspunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05677007691816836928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6343570879387481239.post-12817296239315029212010-01-12T13:06:51.034-06:002010-01-12T13:06:51.034-06:00@ Slyde - it's too bad we don't have more ...@ Slyde - it's too bad we don't have more topography here.

The woman who used to be responsible for that room, now haunts it. She puts luggage away for guests and such. One group of drunk men tried to get her to show herself, by being quite obnoxious...nothing happened. When they came back to room later on, she'd ransacked the place....and tied all their clothes in knots. It's the room that Stephen King stayed in when he came up with the idea for the movie The Shining. He was in the bar, and when he came back up, his wife asked him why he was back so soon. He said he'd been downstairs all evening. She'd heard someone come into the room, and put their luggage all away. Assumed it was him...it wasn't. I guess quite a few "interesting" things happen there. <br /><br />Of course, if you don't believe in such stuff, this means nothing. But for those of us with a little smidge of belief tucked into our pockets think it's pretty cool. There have been so many reports of strange activity....but you never know if people make stuff up, just to be smart, or what?Nejhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00982042722943000994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6343570879387481239.post-45796282289431297022010-01-12T11:27:42.867-06:002010-01-12T11:27:42.867-06:00What was the deal with 217?

I'll have to keep an eye out for it as I fast forward through my DVR'd shows. :-)<br /><br />I saw that shirt years ago..and didn't get it. We were totally over budget on our week, and we were trying to be good. And now every year we go back, I look for it. The last two times no one has had it. This time we had to go to 4 different stores to find someone with it, and in the right size. (I'm not an extra small...never have been, never will.) :-) :-)Nejhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00982042722943000994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6343570879387481239.post-69899862554288324132010-01-12T10:33:30.806-06:002010-01-12T10:33:30.806-06:00Now I have to plan a trip to Estes Park.

Stephen King and his wife had some pretty scary things happen to them while staying there (and Jim Cary left after only being there one night, and refuses to go back)....so it's the hotel King used when writing The Shining. I guess he was currently writing a book about a haunted amusement park...but the hotel changed his mind. Mr. Kubrick didn't think the hotel was "remote" enough, so didn't use it in the movie. Pissed Mr. King off from what they say. <br /><br />We were kicking ourselves for not staying there the last night of our stay. I'd LOVE to check the place out in the middle of the night when everyone is asleep!!!!!Nejhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00982042722943000994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6343570879387481239.post-33610549126237789102010-01-12T08:48:36.194-06:002010-01-12T08:48:36.194-06:00Yeah, we do pretty well finding things to do.
