  • I was there in October of 2011. That tour was awesome. I got home in Washington a few days later and had to watch Dumb and Dumber over again just to see that part that shows the hotel. The Shining i have yet to see but i still at some point would like to watch that as well.

  • I have both versions of The Shining on DVD.I like the Kubrick version for style but it strays too far from the novel. The Jack Torrance character loses his sanity too quickly. The 1997 version is closer to the novel with new material thrown in. I particularly like the scene when all the chairs fell off the dining room tables simultaneously. Stephen King plays the part of a 1940s band leader whose face falls off in grisly chunks. Great stuff. Ooooooooo

  • Those old people be trollin lol!

  • @Tips247 -- I guess I failed to get it across that I know only the mini-series was filmed there, and that I've never seen any attempt to represent the Kubrick feature as having been filmed there as you alluded to in your original comment. Right, all cleared up. :-D

  • @Tips247 Don't confuse the 1980 Kubrick feature film with Stephen King's 1994 ABC mini-series. Many interior scenes of the latter were in fact shot inside the Stanley. Whereas the Kubrick film wasn't shot anywhere near Colorado, interiors OR exteriors.

  • That ghost tour guide is awesome! I like her! :D

  • kinda flipped my shit at 4:29 when i saw the door open...lol

  • I live like 30 minutes away from estes park i really wanna go there with my friends some time

  • I'm gonna do it. I'm gonna stay in that room one day. I'm not afraid.

  • I've been there. :c) It's a beautiful hotel.

  • .. I spent 7 min of my life waiting for a zombie to jump out of a door or at least something.

  • look at 0.36 there is a face on the door

  • This hotel is like the haunted mansion, there are nothing but happy haunts :-)

  • Pause at 4:56 and you see a person in a tux in the door........

    

  • I ain't afraid of no ghost!

  • I went up the right stair case when I was there cause they said it was "haunted" or sometin and I ran the back of my right hand against the wall and got one hell of a static shock!!! Awesome hotel too thumbs up if you have read the shinning :)

  • ii went there last year... uhm that shyt iis haunted.. cnt really say nun untiill ur there yo self..*

  • So all you have to do to save an old musky, drafty, creaky hotel is to make up some ghost stories and charge $600 a night, similar prices to staying at a nice room in a modern Four Seasons or some such? That's brilliant.

  • @BandofSorensons ...Mind you Steven King did write a book there and the best best horror film ever made wasfilmed there? It's from a $160 per night

  • 0:54 holy crap wath the 217 door

  • i went there on a tour and there is face on the door and that face is the maid that haunts it

  • 1:40-1:42 WTF I though that was just light reflection but it just disappears

  • Lol i wanna stay there and bring a half ounce of weed and roll up like 15 joints and get high as fuck while stayin in 217. That would be crazy

  • @pistonsfan2493 lmao be paranoid ad hell

  • *chuck norris goes to 217, stays there for 2 hours, comes back down* "im sorry, but your hotel is no longer haunted"

  • I'm not sure if this is true or not, I just recently found out cuz *I* was curious, but supposedly the story behind Jim Carrey's "freak-out" in Room 217 goes something like this: was that he was looking out the window and slowly began to make out a face....as it got clearer, the "face" took on the appearance of his mother (who had passed 3 yrs earlier) and began screaming! ...he was VERY shaken up about the experience and has never gone back to The Stanley...

  • Good?It took them 5:00 to get throgh the Bloody door!

  • WE'VE LANDED ON THE MOON!!!! Lol, stopped through & hung out (at the bar) in 2005.

  • I'm staying there for spring brake

  • There's a frikin face on the door at 1:03 :0

  • My finace and I stayed there in June of 2010, and we stayed in room 217. We had so much fun scaring the hell out of people coming by our room to take pictures by our door. It is amazing how many people want their pictures taken by room "217".

  • I've been there, but didnt get to stay, maybe someday. I wanna know what happend to jim carrey!!

  • she needs to read the Shining.  The haunted room is room 217--the room they are supposed to avoid--not the caretaker's apartment.

  • ahhhhhhh... thunder thighs!

  • I stayed in this room last night. Very fun. Watched the Shining all night. Would NOT go in the restroom! Can't wait til next time!!

  • gues what i was watching the hauntin tey were doing a sayons in the back ground i saw a person walking

  • I have my stay here tomorrow night :) In room 217.

  • wow, i actually did a tour in december 2007 and my tour guide was your guide. that´s pretty cool to see the lady again. i think she was just great. but we didn´t go into the room 217. i actually don´t remember why, maybe there were people staying in the room. we did, however, take a look at the room 418 which is supposed to be haunted. i loved the stories about the hotel and i´ve been there a million times during the year i lived in colorado. thx for the video, it brings back memories :-)

  • cool do you believe in ghosts? did your hear anything i want to sleep in one of those rooms!

  • I visited this place in like 06 and me and my cousin were walking down one of the hallways and all of a sudden we heard a grandfather clock going off up in the attic spaces in the hallways.

  • So jim karrey had some experience in there? ;P

  • So did anything happen when you stayed in that room?

    Shadows, voices, movement, etc?

  • OMG i went to the stanley last year july and as soon as i went in the biulding i felt as though i was getting a headache and was very light headed. also i went in room 217 cause the door was open and as soon as i stepped in i felt so much like preshure on me and i felt as though i was gonna pass out. and when i stepped out of the room i felt a lot less presure and all that. but there was still some on me. it was rly scary luckily i didnt stay there more than 2 hours.

  • it's a hoot that some random guy comes out of his room.

  • 2 yrs ago-New Year's eve.At the bar,watchin tv's,few people around.Bar had 3 columns-5 glass shelves stacked w mirrors behind-bottles of liq'r on them.@10 min to 12-top shelf-center-broke,sending bottles crashing down thru shelves beneath,2 the floor.The 2 tenders tending both ends of the bar.Noone was at mid bar.All looked at mess in silence.Tenders cleaned it up fast-new shelves up in 5 min-new bottles up in 10-had a supply of glass shelves-like this happened often.Shelves now are wood.LOVE IT

  • @dsvictor8975 -- EXCEllent story!

  • @dsvictor8975 cool

    

  • as soon as it hits 55 secs the reflection in the door appears if its a little girl in a dress then transforms into a face and then the littlegirl again

  • @Uncompelable that´s because of the tour guide´s shadow. as soon as she moves the reflection changed

  • Pretty cool man!

  • That's awesome. How much did it cost to spend the night there?

  • @ThexDoctorsxLie I don't recall exactly, but I recall that 217 was rather pricey. The time we stayed on the fourth floor, it was much less but also a much smaller room with no balcony.

  • @WriterDude the ghost of the last owner of the hotel made you forget the price :P

  • @ThexDoctorsxLie its $15 per person for ghost tour

  • @ThexDoctorsxLie $600 a night, and it is booked 2-3 months in advance.

  • @ThexDoctorsxLie for a haunted room like 217 or 401 its about 500 dollars

  • Is that guy in the blue polo pregnant?

  • juhu .......juhu

  • It's funny, she probably didn't plan on giving a tour for 31,000 people that day.

  • From Wikipedia: The Stanley Hotel: ..."Contrary to information sometimes published, King was living in Boulder at the time and did not actually write the novel at the hotel. Parts of the mini-series version of The Shining were filmed there, although it was not used for Stanley Kubrick's cinematic version."

  • @smcobb99 but the guide said that the hotel inspired king. he actually had a writer´s block and went to see his friends in boulder (the city i lived in when i´ve worked in the usa) and they told him to go up to estes park. the problem was that the hotel at that time was under construction. they allowed king to stay there but said that noone´s gonna be there to serve him and his wife. they gave him the key to the kitchen and all other rooms in the hotel.

  • Auf dieses Video antworten... one night he was drinking in the saloon and wanted to go back into his room but couldn´t remember the number. so the story says that he was walking around calling for his wife and then saw 2 (or 3 - can´t remember) children sitting on the floor and playing with a ball. king, drunk as he was, sat down and played with the children for a while. that´s how he came up with the story "the shining" :-) oh and the guy that gave him the keys was named grady

  • I didn't think any of the movie was filmed there, only the TV series. The bigwheel shots of Danny in the Shinning were in England, and the outside shots were a ski logde in Wyoming. Seems strange they would set up here just for the bar scene and stair case. It seems likely they would just find a nice staircase and bar in England or Wyoming, for budget purposes.

  • im guessing they told you that your room was part of the tour b4 hand right?

  • @TongueKissinGators: It wasn't our room that day. We had it a number of years before.

  • 1:00 there is a face? O.o

  • There a face on the door! pate 1:00

  • My moms boss was born is Estes Park so they went there a couple days ago and they got me pretty kool stuff bc i'm ubsesed with the stanley hotel and they got me a key to room 217 but its a fake one but still really cool

  • I was on the toilet when i wote this comment

  • I have stayed there but I never had any sort of ghost experience but I am in estes park this weekend so maybe I can see something

  • I was in Estes Park, CO and i didn't have time to go there.

  • There is a face on the door! o.o

  • It is haunted I spended a night there it is creepy as hell NEVER STAY THERE !!!!!!!

  • where is the stanley hotel

  • @bryan0102 I guess there are a lot of comments to wade through now, so I'll say it again -- Estes Park, Colorado.

  • @bryan0102 estes park colorado

  • @bryan0102 Estes Park Colorado

  • Was that you she pointed at? That's AWESOME!

  • @6DeadlySins -- Yes, the guide was talking to us -- wife, two kids, self -- because earlier in the tour, we told her we had stayed in 217. That's why, in the video when we enter the room, you can hear her say to my wife, "Welcome home".

  • There's a Face In The Door if you wandering around 1:00

  • @Engelton182 Doesn't it kinda look like Ozzy? Lol.

  • @Engelton182 oh shit!!!

  • @Engelton182 :O

  • im going there for the fourth of july... do you know if guests can stay in haunted rooms..?

  • yea, but they cost more money to stay in.

  • haha all the rooms are haunted my friend my dad got a cuncution cuz he was running down the hall and a white figure came out of the floor and grabbed his legs in the hallway with grey wall paper and white wall under neith

  • @Sara12309 you seriouse? Wow you got a lot of guts I am such a pussy :(. You got alot of courage and I respect that. considering I dont really give respect to people :).

  • they can i stayed in 401, but you better book a few months in advance an get ready to pay a lot more than normal rooms

  • The stanley hotel is one of the coolest places ive ever been to. ive seen room 217 myself,

  • I would so love to spend a night in a hotel like this one.or anywhere that is really really haunted.I so wish to meet a ghost,or spirit one day up close and personal.I'm so into the paranormal stuff.But I been having no luck .

  • you wont see anything here, most likely, ive spent about 4 nights here not hearing or seeing anything strange

  • i can remember staying here. it was an average place. i had no paranormal experiencres :-(

  • i was there in september.

    i went on the tour as well.

    and our tour got to visit all 3 haunted rooms

    it was so amazing

    i loved it!

  • The Stanley Hotel is in Estes Park, Colorado!!!

  • I dont think there are ghosts there. If you wanna encounter REAL ghosts come to Sweden. Im telling you, you're gonna crap your pants.

  • oh man!! i want to go to that room were is it like what state,can someone tell me if you know.that is so awesome!!!!

  • it's in Colorado. it's the Stanley Hotel. 217 is the room Stephen King stayed in and Jim Carrey and they heard and saw freaky things and King wrote the Shining inspired by his stay there.

  • its called the Stanley Hotel and it is in Estes Park, Colorado im very sure of it cuz i live in colorado good luck if you go!:)

  • A few employees at the Stanley know about this video here! They say that tour guide doesn't work there as of a year ago.

  • I was lucky enough to spend three days with the TAPS members last week...this place is definitely haunted, I caught two EVPs on the fourth floor when I was walking around alone, and one EVP in the underground passage.

  • i love this lady tour guide. shes awesome.

    I want to do what those old people do to tourists thats freaking funny.

  • beautiful but creepy looking place, where did they film that movie Somewhere in Time with Jane Seymour and Christopher Reeves that was a beautiful old hotel.

  • I've been in there before.. in that tour.. it seemed relatively normal.. during the day..

  • danny isnt here mrs. torrence.

  • ohhh I might be staying in room 217 for myb-day...I'f my mom will hurry up and book it -_-

  • 1:05 the guy in the blue looks pregnant

  • Interesting video. We didn't take the ghost tour, and as we weren't staying there, we weren't allowed on the upper floors. The place is still a must see though, if you like historic places, or supposedly haunted ones.

  • i want to go ther so bad

  • nice. i was just there, took that tour. it is an awesome place.

  • Was the tour that crowded? Was it really touristy?

  • well it wasnt incredibly crowded when i went, but there were definetly people there.

  • interesting.

  • were is it

  • estes Park, colorado

  • I went on a tour there a couple days ago and i took a picture in the bathroom mirror and a ghosts body appeared in the mirror it was creepy!

  • Wonder why this hotel is such a magnet for spirits. Some buildings are purposefully designed to be conduits for negative energy wonder if thats the case with this building.

  • I just stayed in 217 yesterday. Its beautiful, but really creepy. The only thing that happened was that when my mom put down our hemp beads the picture on the desk fell and the strap broke. The most action we got was on the fourth floor though. We set out saltwater taffy and sang songs. Came back at nine am and there was one wrapper out of the five that were missing. Oh, and lots of orbs in our pictures.

  • wow cool :)

  • i luved goin on the tour of the stanley and i got sum pics of ghost and im stayin there 4 my b-day and awesome vid i luv the stanley!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Shit this is scary

  • This place is haunted even steven king expierenced phenomona while staying there, even ghost hunters saw ghost there and jason the head guy stayed the freakiest room and the inside of his thick glass cracked, he also expierenced his bed shaking and the cuboard door open and shut

  • she wouldnt say aba da ghost lmao

  • ive been there. i live in wyoming so we go slot

  • use to live there, didnt like it that well.

  • im stayin in a haunted room next week i think its 418, or somthin like that

  • Please tell us how it went, nintendofreakJW.

  • we stayed in room 401, and nothing happened half way through the night, so i said lord dunraven (thats who haunts that room) please make your presence known, and not even 30 seconds later my mom yelled at me because she thought i pinched her, and i havent even moved, that was a little creepy

  • I was there, it was really cool. We went into room 418, the room with the boy in the closet. We weren't on the tour but one of the employees just gave us a room key to check it out. It was sweet. :D

  • cool room :D

  • at night can u whom around in the lobby???

  • ours not aspins!

  • Is that the hotel that was in the old Shining movie in 1980? There is nothing more scarier than Going into an old 1842 abandoned Mental Hospital in Louisville, KY. But I would love to go to the Stanley Hotel For a weeks stay! I love scary places!

  • No, the Kubrick film in 1980 wasn't filmed anywhere near here. But in 1997 Stephen King made a mini-series with ABC to "get it right" -- to put straight everything Kubrick loused up in 1980 -- and a LOT of filming for that took place here. For more, look it up on IMDb.

  • I've got a lot of respect for Stephen King, but it blows me away that he didn't care for Kubrick's film. To me, the film is one of the most interesting, scary, well done and thought provoking movies ever. I suppose though, it wasn't faithful to the book, but that's beside the point.

  • No the movie was shot at the stanley hotel, did this whole segment on it on ghost hunters

  • NO the movie The Shining was NOT ahot literally at the Stanley. Trust me i JUST went there yesterday.. Stephen King stayed there & wrote the book there because the Stanley Hotel is haunted & inspired him to make a movie based on the Stanley hotel's features. Some parts on the film were made in England, and most in Oregon (because it had more snow) & in the plot the family is stuck at the hotel. Estes Park (the town) was way too close to The Stanley to fit the plot (isolated)

  • The mini-series from 1995 was shot at The Stanley.

    The original Shining was shot at the Timberline Lodge in Mt. Hood Oregon.

  • I live in colorado and its werid that i never got seen this yet XD

  • I dont blame jim carrey ... i was freaked out when i stayed there for a week

  • cooooooool!!! that was so interesting. would have loved to see the bathroom though lol

  • I was at the Stanley Hotel yesterday checking things out. It was pretty cool. We are making plans to go back and stay in room 217.

  • I'd proper shit it if I stayed there :P

  • My partner and I Stayied in this very room. It was spooky. They remolded this room since we were there in 2002.

  • Don't forget on 3 floor you hear kids form 2am-4am

  • Actually, that activity has been reported on the fourth floor, where we stayed another time. My wife heard them in the night, but I had three martinis and therefore heard nothing.

  • I heard it was 1 off the most terrifying place in amereica

  • where is this hotel

  • It's in Estes Park, Colorado USA.

  • I wasnt even a part of the tour but i really want to go inside so i snuck in and i went into the bathroom

  • That Ghost Tour was the coolest tour, Dad.
