here I am~rock you like a hurricane~

I was going to post about how creepy the Stanley is and how I did NOT sleep last night. (like...literally stared at the ceiling most of the night. And not cause I was freaked out. Tho I was freaked out at times DURING not sleeping)

And as I was starting this post...the electricity just went out. And we went to the hall to check it out.

Sure is only off for our room.

This place was scary as SHIT. Like...not even kidding, I KNOW why it has such a reputation. We saw things, we heard things, like....fuuuuuck. Place is freaky as shit.

Also, on the rtrap door to the bell tower (Up long, narrow dark stairs) it says Redrum. XD

AND they play The Shining. 24/7. They have a Shining Station.

And they play the soundtrack. At 2 am in the lobby when it's empty.

But argh, creeped out is not a good way to be! D: obvious comment is obvious I know

I'm really glad they...embraced it, instead of repelling it.

Tho I did freak out when we turned on the TV and the shining was playing, till I figured out WHY

The only god thing that would probably ave me sleeping a little bit better at night are the fact that the ghost there want nothing to do but play. They aren't mean spirited, just a little mischievous. heh. I'm glad you all are having fun babes! Send everyone my love will ya? -kisses for all-

Please tell me you guys took pictures! I want to see what this place looks like, because the pics I saw on the internet made the place not look as big as I imagined. Like I know they used a different hotel for the Kubrick movie version, but I vaguely remember the new one, that actually was in the Stanley, and it being big.

It was actually smaller then I expected (It's very spread out, but not actually very big). But we did get lots of pictures.

I'd just hit up the $10 tour first. Like...it wasn't to bad cause we split cost a lot of ways, but it was not cheap.

At least the owners have a good sense of humor.

I was actually really impressed how much they were chill and not like "We area historical site and a fancy hotel..."

Like...they were chill with people wandering around all over the place, and we could generally get into everything and like...were like "YAY SHINING!

You actually stayed at the Stanley Hotel? OMG! Awesome!
Oh my god, I don't think I could stomach being there for a day rather than spend the night there too.

It wasn't too bad cause nothing felt...aggressive or nasty

Your icon amuses the HELL out of me.

We planned to watch it while there, so it felt fitting.
