Is the Stanley Hotel haunted? The Lady Dicks are headed to Colorado this week to dick-tect the supposed hauntings at this famous historic hotel that was the inspiration for Stephen King's novel, The Shinning. Locating in charming Estes Park this hotel is said to be the after-life home of a handful of ghosts including the hotel's former owners, the Stanely's, Paul a ghost who's not so cool with you being out after lights out, Elizabeth Wilson who would rather unmarried guests leave room for Jesus instead of shacking up in bed together and a mysterious vortex that could just be the pathway to the paranormal.
