The Stanley Hotel Investigation & Conference

For those of you who don't know, The Stanley Hotel is situated in the Colorado Rockies at about 12,000 ft in elevation and was the inspiration for Stephen Kings 'The Shining'.


Our fearless group headed out to Colorado to meet with members of the TAPS group, along with about 200 more of their most devoted fans, to see what we could 'scare up' at The Stanley.

First on our agenda was the concert hall. It's said that the spirit of a woman named Lucy resides in the basement and she doesn't seem to be too keen on visitors. Undaunted; Steph, Cathie and I along with Amy Bruni, Mike Brody, Adam Blai and Dave (our tech guy and cameraman) began an Ovilus session. We wanted to see if anyone would want to talk to us. The a Ovilus chatted along for quite a while but in the end we had no solid evidence from the session.

Next, we headed to room 1302 in the Manor House. There we met with Kris Williams. Our group attempted to reach out to any spirits that might be with us, trying to get communication going. (If you are a fan of TAPS, you will remember room 1302 as the room in which Grant is sitting at a table when suddenly it lifts up from the floor and drops back down with a bang).

In room 1302 we experienced one of our flash lights being turned on & then off again. A woman sitting in our group had her laser grid come on even though she said she was not touching or holding it.

The remainder of our investigation was spent in the main hotel. There we went into rooms 217, 418, 401 and the employee tunnel. Nothing of note happened in any of these areas but it was fun and an interesting experience.

We did not take photos during the investigation. Here are a couple photos from the remainder of our Colorado trip.
