The Stanley, of course, is where Stephen King was inspired to write The Shining and is known as one of the most <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2006/11/10/163241/52/hotels/Hotel_Ghosts_Caught_on_Tape">haunted hotels in America</a>.

Well, it all started when King stayed in room 217 and witnessed a ghostly little boy wandering the halls of the hotel. But room 418 and pretty much the whole fourth floor seems to have the most ghostly activity reported by hotel staffers and employees. Most of the time, the sound of children can be heard even when none are present.On the more earthly side, <a href="http://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviews-g60945-d83189-r4447846-Stanley_Hotel-Estes_Park_Colorado.html">one guest complained</a> not just about ghosts but
