Hey Clay, I'm Dawn Janov, your tour guide in this video. I'm impressed with the 104,276 views as of today January 14, 2013. It is interesting to read all these comments. Nice that you do read through them and answer their questions or clarify their comment.
Hey, Dawn! Sorry I didn't see your visit sooner. SO good to hear from you! Yeah, it seems you're a star for about 108K people as of today. This is almost as fun as you were that day.
I'm the founder of The Ghost Trailers paranormal group out of Indiana and I have to say that was the most informative tour I've ever seen and I've been on several. Just had to say it thank you
+Dawn Janov hi +Dawn i'm Terrence, i'm new to the Hauntings scene, and i've always been curious about things like this, so i was wondering what are the most haunted hotel rooms, and are there any evil spirits in some of them? because i may be able to go visit and stay for a few nights, so do u think u could lol u know give me a little taste of info on what's the most haunted rooms and if there are good and evil or demonic spirits? i would like to book into one of the most active rooms soon. lol i'm a huge ghost fan believer lol. message me soon.
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 :-)
In the book it's room 217. The Timberline Lodge (The building that the Overlook in the movie is based off of) has a room 217 but no room 237. The owners wanted the switch to be made to prevent guests from feeling uneasy about staying in that room.
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.
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...
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 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.
@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.
Stayed there last week. Our ghost tour guide said that you feel a ghost presence or a ghost touching you if you shiver and your teeth chatter. So, I was falling asleep in a room there. BY MYSELF. There wasn't enough room in the other room. I was flipping out. Then, my body started shivering UNCONTROLLABLY. fuckin scared SHITLESS
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.
My wife and I stayed in this room this past sept 6, 2012. I pissed the ghosts off and got 30 scratches on one leg and 10 on the other, some deep enough to scar. Woke to foot steps at 3 am to foot step in the room and heard them again at 330 am (this time my wife shot up out of bed), they sounded like they were in the room. Took one 30 sec cell ph recording with a galaxy S3 and at the end got a voice what sounds like a young female asking "who is this?" The fourth floor was much creepier,,,
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.
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.
@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.
@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.
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
@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".
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.
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!
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
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 .
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
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
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 :)
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.
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
Jim Carrey had requested to stay in that room during filming for Dumb and Dumber. He was only checked in for 3 hours before he ran out of the building to the nearest Holiday Inn. He eventually told Bobby Farrelly that he had seen his dead grandfather in the mirror as he woke up to cut the tv off and that was it for him. He never returned.

STAY_NCTZEN _ 418,401, 428 or 217 if you can get it. I stayed in 217 and 428. Nothing weird ever happens in there but 217 was def. odd
The mini-series from 1995 was shot at The Stanley.
The original Shining was shot at the Timberline Lodge in Mt. Hood Oregon.
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 :-)
Heeeere's Johnny!
The Stanley Hotel is in Estes Park, Colorado!!!

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' really enjoyed the video the lady giving the tour was awesome I loved it. Nice job!!!!

it was so amazing
i loved it!
OMG I get to stay there in room 217 in june and I can NOT wait!!!! This video made me even more excited!! YAY!!!
How was it?
It might be a reflection, but who knows. It does look like a face on the door though.

I am spending the night there in 2 weekends!! So excited!!

It is in Estes park colorado! The STANLEY HOTEL! Wow I love Estes
That ghost tour guide is awesome! I like her! :D

@Uncompelable that´s because of the tour guide´s shadow. as soon as she moves the reflection changed
No the movie was shot at the stanley hotel, did this whole segment on it on ghost hunters
Back in the day when we wanted something scary this was my first ghost video

i love this lady tour guide. shes awesome.
I want to do what those old people do to tourists thats freaking funny.
JUSINO
loves
the
Stanley
Hotel
Lol those old people would have given me a heart attack!
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
I've been in there before.. in that tour.. it seemed relatively normal.. during the day..
I ain't afraid of no ghost!
I went by the Stanley not to long ago!
nice. i was just there, took that tour. it is an awesome place.
@TongueKissinGators: It wasn't our room that day. We had it a number of years before.
Those old people be trollin lol!
This hotel is like the haunted mansion, there are nothing but happy haunts :-)
i went there on a tour and there is face on the door and that face is the maid that haunts it
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 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 .
Was the tour that crowded? Was it really touristy?
So did anything happen when you stayed in that room?
Shadows, voices, movement, etc?
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
WE'VE LANDED ON THE MOON!!!! Lol, stopped through & hung out (at the bar) in 2005.
well it wasnt incredibly crowded when i went, but there were definetly people there.
Hi Mary! Here’s Johnny!
It's in Estes Park, Colorado USA.
I did the tour yesterday!!!
@bryan0102 I guess there are a lot of comments to wade through now, so I'll say it again -- Estes Park, Colorado.
Please tell us how it went, nintendofreakJW.
I was in Estes Park, CO and i didn't have time to go there.
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
I've been there, but didnt get to stay, maybe someday. I wanna know what happend to jim carrey!!
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 :)
The "Grand Hotel" on Mackinac Island Michigan
# 1
Stanley
Hotel
Hence my saying "...at least conceived..."
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.
It's funny, she probably didn't plan on giving a tour for 31,000 people that day.
We are going there in sept thanks
Thats interesting
Is that guy in the blue polo pregnant?
yes I see it too!!
What's up with the door from 217
.. I spent 7 min of my life waiting for a zombie to jump out of a door or at least something.
im going on the tour today
Is it just me, or is there a face on the 217 door?
The lady won't tell you what really happened.
wow cool :)
Has anyone filmed this neatly piled clothing experiences? For some reason I don’t believe it. There’s gotta be a way they go inside of there and clean
I'm staying there for spring brake
ohhh I might be staying in room 217 for myb-day...I'f my mom will hurry up and book it -_-
Well, he had a nightmare inn 217 about his son getting chased by something ( i can't remeber)
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
interesting.
0:54 holy crap wath the 217 door
1:40-1:42 WTF I though that was just light reflection but it just disappears
# 1
stanley HOTEL ?
look at 0.36 there is a face on the door
@Engelton182 oh shit!!!
Awesome, Dawn Awesome lol.
im stayin in room 217 soon
Top ten haunted houses. Number one: None of them
1:00 there is a face? O.o
it is on the door
Why would they put a VIP like Jim Carrey into a room they think is very haunted? Did he request it?
Who knows? It is definitely one of the nicer rooms, especially since the renovation.
Jim Carrey had requested to stay in that room during filming for Dumb and Dumber. He was only checked in for 3 hours before he ran out of the building to the nearest Holiday Inn. He eventually told Bobby Farrelly that he had seen his dead grandfather in the mirror as he woke up to cut the tv off and that was it for him. He never returned.
where is the stanley hotel
Estes Park, Colorado!

@dsvictor8975 -- EXCEllent story!
