Interesting Fact 53: Haunted Hotels

You'll find one of the most haunted hotels in America in the Rocky Mountain National Park - the Stanley Hotel in Estes Park.  The Stanley Hotel is most widely known for inspiring Stephen King's horror novel The Shining.  Although the infamous movie was not filmed there, the Stanley Hotel is said to be home to several ghosts.  Rooms 407, 217, 401, and 418 are all reported to be haunted by a variety of spirits.
      If the Stanley Hotel is fully booked, you can try the nearby Baldplate Inn, which is reputed to be haunted by its original owner, Ethel Mace.  An outspoken prohibitionist in life, Mace's ghost has been known to send cocktails flying off tables.
