The Stanley Hotel Early Apparition Tradition

Record summary

The Stanley Hotel opened in 1909 and later became associated with reports of footsteps, music, voices, and apparitions, especially in rooms and corridors connected with the hotel’s early history. Some stories concern F.O. Stanley or his wife, while others involve unnamed guests and staff. The site matters for comparing an operating hotel, servant and guest testimony, architectural acoustics, and the later transformation of local stories into popular haunted-place narratives. Evidence for specific reports during 1909–1946 is uneven, and many widely circulated accounts were recorded decades later.
