One man set out for Colorado, looking for the healing power of the mountains where built himself a grand empire. A half a century later, with the enormous structure crumbling, an author on a mission happened upon the place and introduced it to his readers as one of the most haunted hotels in the country. Were the ghosts always there, waiting to show themselves to a willing visitor, or is this another one of the legendary writer’s creative tales? This week's episode is The Stanley Hotel.
