Stanley Hotel

Estes Park, Colorado

The record

The Stanley Hotel inspired Stephen King's fictional novel The Shining and also has reports of unexplained music and children's voices. These are separate connections: the novel is not a factual record of hotel events. The property offers organized history and spirit tours.

Paranormal explanations remain claims, not established facts. Read the original sources for context.
