Fall is finally settled in and Halloween is right around the corner, so that means Spooky Season is in full effect. And what better way to get in the spirit of things than diving deep into tales of apparitions, mysterious urban legends and other stories of all the things that go bump in the night.
Thrillist compiled a list of the "most haunted place" in every state, finding chilling locations like "old state hospitals, murder sites, homes with talking dolls, and hotels [that] are so disturbing, they've served as the setting for some of the most iconic horror movies."
According to the list, the most haunted spot in Colorado is the Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, the hotel that inspired one of the most famous horror films in history. There have been reports of lingering spirits still wandering the grounds or haunting rooms as guests settle in.
Here's what the site had to say about the reportedly most haunted spot in all of Colorado:
"If you've read or seen The Shining, you'll know the feel of this often snowed-on hotel: It's the location Stephen King based his Overlook Hotel upon. It may not look like the film — unless you watched the 1990s made-for-TV movie version, which was actually shot here — but it holds rumors of haunted rooms and service workers who still wander the grounds. Be warned: There's a much more sinister danger. The hotel has such an extreme elevation that just walking to your room can drain you, so one stiff drink may have you seeing ghosts."
