Stanley Hotel Halloween Investigation – Estes Park, CO
Friday, October 26th - Saturday, October 27th, 2007
The Stanley Hotel has hosted many "famous" guests including The Unsinkable Molly Brown, John Philip
Sousa, Theodore Roosevelt, the Emperor and Empress of Japan, and a variety of Hollywood personalities.
And, of course, the Stanley Hotel hosted Stephen King for five months while he wrote "The Shining."
In addition to its regular guests, the hotel is also said to play host to a number of other worldly visitors. The
most notable is F.O. Stanley himself who is most often seen in the lobby and the Billiard Room, which was his
favorite room when he was still alive. On one such occasion, he was said to have appeared during a tour group's
visit to the Billiard Room, materializing behind a member of the tour. Bartenders at the old hotel also report
having seen F.O. Stroll through the bar, disappearing when they try to cut him off at the kitchen.
Not to be left out, Flora Stanley also haunts the hotel, continuing to entertain guests with her piano playing
in the ballroom.
Employees and guests have reported hearing music coming from the room, and when they take a peek into the
room they can see the piano keys moving. However, as soon as someone walks across the thresh-hold to
investigate further, the music stops and no more movement can be seen upon the keys of the piano.
There are several rooms in the hotel that seem to be particularly haunted. One is Room 407, which is said to
sometimes be occupied by Lord Dunraven, who owned the land prior to F.O. Stanley. Reportedly, he likes to
stand in the corner of the room near the bathroom door. On one such account, witnesses reported that a light
in that corner kept turning on and off. While the light was off, they told the ghost that they knew that he was
there, they would only be staying two nights, and would he please turn the light back on. The light turned back
on. However, later when the lights were turned off and they were trying to sleep, noises were constantly heard
from the nearby elevator during a time when the elevator was not in use. At other times, a ghost has been
reported to be looking out the window of Room 407, when the room is not booked.
Tour guides tell a story of the ghost of a small child who has been seen by many of the staff in various areas of
the old hotel. Reportedly, Steven King also saw the child, who was calling out to his nanny on the second
floor. Other past employees report footsteps and apparitions seen throughout the building.
This will be an amazing opportunity to investigate the Stanley Hotel. And following the investigation all will
be attending the annual Shinning Ball.
U.S.S. Hornet Investigation – Alameda, CA
Friday March 21, 2008
It should be no surprise that the USS Hornet, now moored at Alameda Naval Base, California, now holds
the distinction of being the Navy’s most haunted ship. Historians estimate that nearly 300 people died while
working on the ship during her active service, which spanned 1943 to 1970. Though some men perished during
combat, others died because of shipboard accidents. Some ghosts are said to be of enemies destroyed by the
crew of the ship during combat.
Incidents have occurred in spots all over the ship -- ladders, decks, hangars, even in CIC, the Combat
Information Center. Voices can be heard in the large hangars when no one is there and more EVPs have been
captured on this ship than any other in American History.
People that work on the aging ship and visitors as well frequently report visions of sailors at work as if on a
fighting ship at sea. Doors open and close by themselves. Tools vanish and then reappear after a lengthy
search. Objects fall from shelves. Toilets flush themselves. Handles on doors shake and move by themselves...
And there are always those “cold” areas where people feel that eerie sensation of not being alone.... some even
reporting being touched by something when no one was around.
Don't miss your opportunity to do this amazing investigation of the Haunted USS Hornet just 30 minutes
from San Francisco, CA!!!
Space is VERY limited - Your Price includes: dinner, breakfast and your rooms!!!! And yes, everyone
attending gets their own rooms on the Haunted U.S.S. Hornet!!!
Nightwatchers will invade the amazing USS Hornet at 5:30 PM on March 21st for the entire night, meet
members of the crew, hear the ghosts stories first hand and then investigate the ship and create new ghosts
stories of your own.
