Your ghost stories from 'The Shining' hotel in Estes Park

Coloradoan Staff

After a photographer captured on film what some paranormal experts are claiming were two ghost figures at the "The Shining" hotel in Estes park, the photograph has gone viral, causing viewers to question how real the photograph is.

So we asked you: Do you have any ghost stories from the Stanley Hotel?

The Stanley Hotel Tuesday, April 21, 2015 at Rocky Mountain National Park near Estes Park, CO.

Here are some of the stories readers shared:

"I've stayed there two times. One time the phone rang (just one ring) exactly at midnight. Another time, the window slammed shut all by itself in the middle of the night! it was sorta spooky in the bathroom too, weird noises (perhaps it was the pipes but it did seem odd!)"

"Back in 1993 ... my husband and I were using a gift certificate that we got as a wedding gift to stay there. We had lived in Colorado many years but have never stayed there. We had our infant son with us and his little portable crib was between the two beds (it was a room with two twin beds at the time) in the middle of the night at some point the baby crib shook violently. It woke us and we were freaked out. We did not sleep the rest of the night, stayed up holding the baby and left first thing in the morning."

"I definitely had something touch my arm and my arm hair stood up and I got goose bumps and it got cold, in the second floor east side where the couch is in the hallway."

"I have visited the Stanley several times..once in the stillness of an afternoon, I heard children's voices from outside..Ilooke out the window and walked one was there. I have always wondered about it."

"I worked night audit and front desk there in the early 2000s Flora's piano would play by itself late at night. Got locked in the kitchen several times when all the doors slammed shut at the same time and locked. I can go on and on."

Kristin Deily's boyfriend realized after the fact that there was someone in the mirror reflection right behind him, although when they took the photo, they were alone in the hallway.

"We were there for Halloween last year and after theparty we went up and changed. We were the only ones in the hallway. You can see thefelection in the mirror. My back, (my boyfriend's) arm with hisphoen up, and then someone standing behind him. It looks like said person behind him is in a uniform of some kind and actually looks eerily similar to the image that is going around on the news right now."

"I was goofing around in my roomthere by playing a joke. I giggled with the lamp cord to make the light flash. Within 30 minutes, the room temp reached over 90 degrees. It scared me so I checked out."

"I've only stayed there once. I woke up with a feeling someone was watching me. I immediately got very nauseous and broke out in a cold sweat. Haven't visited since."

"Concert hall is definitely haunted. I worked at the Stanley for a few years off and on and definitely have had encounters atconcert hall and manor house. Therewas multiple times I would hear singing upstairs which wasn't too bad, but downstairs was bad. Therewas a few times I was down there alone and would get the feeling I needed to leave and one time I was doing inventory alone and the bottles started rattling around loudly behind me. I was completely alone in the building and there was no way that they could have done that themselves."

"We were on a tour for my daughter's birthday, down in the rooms below concert hall she said 'we need to leave, they don't want us here.' She has no memory of saying that."

"I worked there for two years. Was typically too busy to notice anything. We mostly tried to scare each other."

"I use to clean the motel and crazy stuff was always happening."
