Next, guests have claimed that the phantom of the late Flora Stanley can be heard in the empty music room. The hotel also received reports of a spectral chambermaid hovering above the beds of unmarried guests. Single men have also woken up to find their bags packed and left outside their door. After a while, it was identified that this spirit goes by the name Mrs. Wilson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify has-black-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">I would be surprised if you haven&#8217;t heard of<span style=\"color:#000000\" class=\"tadv-color\"> <\/span><strong><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.stanleyhotel.com\/\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"color:#0693e3\" class=\"tadv-color\">T<\/span><\/a><span style=\"color:#0693e3\" class=\"tadv-color\"><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.stanleyhotel.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">h<\/a><\/span><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.stanleyhotel.com\/\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"color:#0693e3\" class=\"tadv-color\">e<\/span><\/a><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.stanleyhotel.com\/\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"color:#0693e3\" class=\"tadv-color\"> Stanley Hotel.<\/span><\/a><\/strong><span style=\"color:#000000\" class=\"tadv-color\"> <\/span>It&#8217;s practically impossible to not be aware of this nightmare fuelling hotel.

The hallways are eerie &amp; every other place in the hotel makes you feel like you&#8217;re being watched \u2013 it&#8217;s beautiful. The book was great, the movie was incredible, and the&nbsp;virtual tour&nbsp;is&#8230;not the greatest. However, when there&#8217;s a pandemic, you take what you can, and this virtual tour does what it needs to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The Stanley Hotel | Walking Tour | Estes Park\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/kdDWhkr50sw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption><strong><em>Source &#8211;<\/em><\/strong> <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=kdDWhkr50sw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">HFP Travels<\/a><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-background has-black-background-color has-black-color is-style-dots\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"heading\" ><strong>The Queen Mary<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify has-black-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">If there&#8217;s anything better than a ship, it&#8217;s definitely a haunted ship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify has-black-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">&#8230;And the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.queenmary.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"color:#0693e3\" class=\"tadv-color\">Queen Mary<\/span><\/a><\/strong> does an admirable job at being one of <strong>the most haunted ships in the world. <\/strong>Yeah, in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify has-black-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">In this ship, you&#8217;re not going to see two star-crossed lovers named Jack and Rose being in love. Instead, you&#8217;ll see orbs, shadows standing at the end of your bed, hear doors that slam shut out of nowhere, and oh, faint whispers and screams. We can&#8217;t miss that. Oh, they also have something called the isolation ward. Anything with a name like that is code for &#8220;haunted&#8221;.

The daughter of Andrew and Sarah Borden, his first wife. Both of the victims were attacked not more than half an hour apart by a hatchet-like weapon. This made the wounds devastatingly fatal and left their bodies sinking in their own blood. I know, dark right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify has-black-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">Anyways, after this incident, Lizzie&#8217;s only achievement in life was in her being a suspected murderer. But the house actually went on to become a <strong>popular tourist attraction.<\/strong> (Cool. Cause that&#8217;s where everybody&#8217;s mind goes when they&#8217;re deciding what to do with a house that hosted two murders). With everything that&#8217;s going on, you can&#8217;t even think about visiting the place for yourself. However, taking a&nbsp;<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/lizzie-borden.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"color:#0693e3\" class=\"tadv-color\">virtual tour<\/span><\/a><\/strong>&nbsp;of the very same house is possible. Plus, who knows? Maybe once this is all over, you can visit the site for yourself and ask Andrew or Abby who did it. My bet&#8217;s on Lizzie, just so you know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>There&#8217;s even a creepy poem that was inspired by the murder.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p><em>&#8220;Lizzie Borden took an ax&nbsp;<br>And gave her mother forty whacks.<br>When she saw what she had done<br>She gave her father forty-one&#8221;<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify has-black-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">I mean, I love a good catchy rhyme, but it&#8217;s still creepy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>[penci_button link=&#8221;https:\/\/lizzieandrewborden.com\/borden-house-videos.htm&#8221; icon=&#8221;fa fa-address-book&#8221; icon_position=&#8221;left&#8221; align=&#8221;center&#8221; full=&#8221;1&#8243; background=&#8221;Ash&#8221;]Lizzie Borden House Videos[\/penci_button]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-background has-black-background-color has-black-color is-style-dots\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"heading\" ><strong>The Bran Castle<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify has-black-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">Ever wanted to get up close and personal with <strong>Dracula&#8217;s lair?<\/strong> Well, now you can, virtually, of course.

When questioned about all of the unfortunate events that had happened to her, she was met with a disturbing answer. Now, apparently, the medium told her that she would be <strong>haunted by the spirits<\/strong> of those who fell under the success of the Winchester rifles. The psychic continued that If she wanted to be free of these spirits, she would have to move west and continue building her house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify has-black-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">This is what many believe to be the story of this landmark. Many tourists have reported <strong>paranormal activity<\/strong> &amp; have speculated over the odd structure of the house. The mansion is coated with staircases leading to dead ends, hidden rooms (that are yet to be found) &amp; a doorway that leads to nowhere &#8211; except for a scream-worthy drop into the yard far below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify has-black-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">But the best part is that you don&#8217;t even have to visit this house. You can just have full access to it through a&nbsp;virtual tour. So, get ready to scroll through the hallways of the famed mansion and its equally daunting backstory from your couch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>[penci_button link=&#8221; https:\/\/www.winchestermysteryhouse.com\/video-tour\/&#8221; icon=&#8221;fa fa-address-book&#8221; icon_position=&#8221;left&#8221; align=&#8221;center&#8221; full=&#8221;1&#8243; background=&#8221;Ash&#8221;]Video Access Tour[\/penci_button]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-background has-black-background-color has-black-color is-style-dots\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">So, What&#8217;s it going to be?
