I volunteered, and while I didn't hear anything besides my own heartbeat in my throat, I can definitely appreciate the kind of fear King must have felt while visiting back in 1974. Brave guests on the hotel tour can stand in the closet in one of the haunted rooms, where voices are said to be the loudest. The ghost of a small boy is said to appear outside of room 217, where author Stephen King stayed, and he reportedly saw the child, who was calling out for his nanny. Room 418 is haunted by children, whose laughter can be heard in the hallways by guests and cleaning crew inhabiting the room. Some guests have reported seeing his face in the window even when the room isn't booked. Room 407 is supposedly haunted by Lord Dunraven, the man who owned the land prior to Stanley. Employees and guests both have reported hearing piano music coming from the room and seeing the keys moving. I didn't hear the music or see the keys move, but the ballroom does feel colder the closer you get to the beautiful grand piano.
Sightings of his wife Flora have also been reported, usually of her playing her piano in the ballroom. Stanley himself is said to wander the halls, most often in the hotel bar. When I visited with my family about a decade ago, guests could sign up for a ghost tour that highlighted all of the most haunted rooms in the hotel. The movie is based on the novel The Shining by Stephen King. Throughout the hotel's history, there have been reports of ghostly apparitions. The building was used as the exterior of The Overlook Hotel - the haunted hotel in the film.
