"The famously haunted Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, Colorado, opened its doors in 1909 and was owned by inventor Freelan Stanley, who fell in love with the area after he traveled to Colorado in hopes that the dry mountain air would help ease his tuberculosis symptoms. The hotel quickly garnered a reputation as a luxury wilderness retreat and people like socialite Molly Brown (famous for surviving the sinking of the Titanic), President Theodore Roosevelt, and the Emperor and Empress of Japan would all stay at the Stanley." - Mae Hamilton
