Aia ʻo Rockley Hotel i ka mauna Rocky e nānā pono ana iā Estes Park, Colorado, e noho mālie ana me ka nani, e hāʻawi ana i ka ʻaina maikaʻi, nā hiʻohiʻona nani, nā lumi nani, a me kahi mea hou aʻe e hoʻokaʻawale iā ia mai nā hōkele ʻē aʻe i kāna papa. Hoʻoweliweli wale ʻia ka Stanley Hotel, mahalo nui loa ʻia.

Ma loko o ke kenekulia i hala, ua hōʻiliʻili mālie ka hōkele i kahi mau ʻuhane a ʻaʻohe mea e ʻike pono i ke kumu. ʻO ka mea a mākou e ʻike nei, no kēlā me kēia kumu, hana nui nā ʻuhane o ka Stanley a ua hoʻoulu i ka manaʻo o nā mea kākau a me nā mea hana kiʻi ʻoniʻoni, ʻaʻole ʻo ka mea liʻiliʻi loa ʻo Stephen King a me kāna puke. ka Kealohilani.

I nā makahiki he ʻelua i hala aku nei, ua ʻapo piha ka Stanley i kona mōʻaukala a me kāna mau denizens ʻuhane a ua hoʻomaka ʻo ia e hāʻawi i nā huakaʻi i kēlā me kēia lā i hiki i nā mea kipa o ka hōkele a me nā malihini kipa ʻē aʻe ke loaʻa ka ʻike Stanley piha. Uhi kekahi i ka moʻaukala o nā hale a me kāna mea kūkulu hale; ʻo kekahi, nā mea kahiko nani a me nā lako hana i hoʻohui ʻia i ka hōʻiliʻili o ka hōkele i nā makahiki i hala. A laila aia nā huakaʻi ʻuhane i mālama ʻia i ke ahiahi i hoʻolālā ʻia e hāʻawi i ka poʻe me ka hoihoi i ka paranormal kahi ʻono o ka mea maikaʻi loa a Stanley e hāʻawi ai.

Ua loaʻa iaʻu ka pōmaikaʻi maikaʻi, i hala koke iho nei, e lawe i kekahi o kēia ahiahi Ghost Tours a he hana ia e poina koke ʻole ana iaʻu. ʻAʻole wau e haʻi iā ʻoe i nā mea āpau i hana ʻia ma ka huakaʻi. Inā wau i hana, ʻaʻohe kumu nāu e lawe iā ia iho a he mea ia e ʻike mua ai ʻoe, akā e hāʻawi wau iā ʻoe i kekahi o kaʻu mau punahele punahele o kēia huakaʻi hoihoi.

Ua hōʻea mākou i ka hōkele ʻoiai e lele mālie ana ka lā ma lalo o ka laina o nā kuahiwi. Mālama nani ʻia nā pā ākea a ʻike koke mākou i kekahi mau elk i hele hewa mai nā ululāʻau e pili ana, e ʻānai hānai ana i nā lau nahele i mālama ʻia. Ke hana ʻia nei ka hōkele i kahi kūkulu e pono ai a ke hoʻomoe nei lākou i ke kahua no kahi maze elaborate e hoʻohui ʻia i ka papa ma hope o kēia kauwela. Ua komo mākou i ka hōkele a loaʻa koke ka lumi hālāwai no ka hoʻomaka o ka huakaʻi.

Ua loaʻa iā mākou nā noho i loko o ka lumi huakaʻi liʻiliʻi a hōʻike mākou iā mākou i kahi ʻāpana pōkole o The Stanley Effect, kahi palapala e pili ana i kekahi mau hele ʻano ʻē ma ka hōkele. Ma hope o ka pāʻālua, ua hāʻawi ʻo ia iā mākou i kekahi mau ʻōlelo aʻo e pili ana i ka noho pū ʻana a ua hele mākou i kā mākou kū mua ma ka huakaʻi, ka Hale Hōʻikeʻike. Hele mākou i loko o ka hale a piʻi i luna i ka pāpale e nānā pono ana i ka hale.

ʻOiai ke alakaʻi i hāʻawi mai iā mākou i kekahi moʻolelo pōkole o ka hōkele a me nā mea kūkulu hale, ʻo FO Stanley a me kāna wahine ʻo Flora, ua noho wau e nānā ana i ke kahua a me nā lumi ʻelua i kēlā me kēia ʻaoʻao. Ke huli nei ʻo ia mai ka haʻawina moʻaukala, ua hoʻomaka ʻo ia e haʻi i kahi moʻolelo o kahi limahana i hoʻolimalima ʻia e hana i kekahi hana hou ʻana ma ke kahua. E hana hoʻokahi ana ʻo ia i ka pō no laila ʻaʻole ia e hoʻopilikia i nā poʻe kipa e hele mai ana i kahi ʻaina awakea i ka lā aʻe. Aia ʻo ia ma kona mau lima a me kona mau kuli, ke one ʻana i ke kahua, ke ʻike ʻo ia i nā lima o kekahi e holoholo a puni kāna pūhaka a kiʻi iā ia e kū ana. Huli koke ʻo ia, ʻaʻohe mea ma laila. Holo ke kāne, waiho i kāna mau mea hana ma ke kahua. Ua hoʻi ʻo ia i ke kakahiaka aʻe e hōʻiliʻili iā lākou, akā ma hope o ka ʻae ʻana o ka luna e hoʻouna i kekahi me ia i ke kahua. Haʻalele ʻo ia a hoʻi ʻole.

He mea hōʻoluʻolu kēia moʻolelo, akā ʻo ka mea hoihoi loa ia, e like me kāna i haʻi aku ai, neʻe nā pale i ka hema o ke kahua i ʻeono mau manawa. Ua hoʻopaʻa ʻia ka lumi a ʻaʻohe makani, akā inā aia, ʻaʻole hiki ke hoʻokau ʻia kēia neʻe i lalo i ka makani. ʻO ia ke ʻano o ka neʻe ʻana i kū i ka wā e lālau ai kekahi i kahi pale a hoʻololi hou iā ia. Ua hele a pale i mua ka pale. I ko mākou iho i lalo, ua nānā pono wau, a ʻaʻole wale kekahi i loko o ka lumi, akā ua hoʻopiha ʻia me nā lako like ʻole i mea e loaʻa ai kahi kanaka i kahi manawa paʻakikī e hoʻokomo i laila.

Haʻalele i ka pāpale ma hope, hele mākou i lalo i ka hale ma lalo o ka Hale Hōkele. Ke hoʻokipa nei ʻo Stanley i ka male, ma aneʻi e hoʻololi a hoʻomākaukau ka ʻahaʻaina male no ko lākou lā nui. I ko mākou noho ʻana i lalo i ka lumi o ka wahine wahine, hāʻawi mai ke alakaʻi huakaʻi iaʻu i kahi mea ʻike iā EMF. Heluhelu nā mea ʻike EMF i nā māla electromagnetic a me nā parapsychologists a me nā mea noiʻi paranormal e haʻi iā ʻoe inā aia nā ʻuhane, e piʻi pinepine ka ikehu i kēia mau kahua.

Ua noho wau i kahi noho ma loko pono o ka lumi ma ka ʻaoʻao o ka puka, a hoʻolohe i ke alakaʻi i kāna haʻi ʻana iā mākou i ka moʻolelo o Lucy, kahi wahine i ʻike ʻia e squatting ana i ka hōkele. I ka hoʻomaka o ka moʻolelo, ua liʻiliʻi iki ka neʻe ʻana ma ka mika EMF, akā i kāna kamaʻilio ʻana e pili ana iā Lucy e make ana a manaʻo ʻia e hoʻi ana i ka hōkele ma ka ʻuhane, ua piʻo ka mika a ua neʻe mālie ka puka ma koʻu alo a laila pani ʻia. Ua minoʻaka ke alakaʻi a wehe hou i ka puka, e wehewehe ana ua pāʻani pinepine ʻo Lucy i nā pāʻani me nā malihini i lalo i ka lumi lumi Bride's Room. Eia hou, aia kahi kuʻi a pani mālie hoʻi ka puka iā ia iho.

Ma hope, i ka manawa i hāʻawi ʻia ai iā mākou ka manawa e holoholo ai i ka hale ma lalo o mākou iho, ua lawe wau i kahi manawa e nānā ai i ka puka. He puka kaumaha ia, ʻaʻole ʻoniʻoni maʻalahi; ʻaʻohe mea hōʻike e pili ana i ka hana ʻana a i ʻole kaapuni ʻana e hiki ai ke pani i ka puka ma o kahi mamao a no laila ʻaʻole hiki ke kumu i ka piko i ka mika EMF.

Ma mua o ko mākou haʻalele ʻana i ka Hale Hōkele, ua lawe kā mākou alakaʻi mākaʻikaʻi i mau minuke e hoʻolauna i kekahi o mākou i kāna ʻuhane punahele e holoholo ana i ka hōkele. Nui nā keiki i ka hōkele, akā ʻo ka hapa wale nō o kēlā mau keiki ke ola nei. I ka lumi wahine i ka papahele, ua ʻākoakoa mākou i kahi pōʻai kaawale. Ua waiho ʻo ia i kahi mea ʻono i lalo i ka papahele a waiho i kahi Maglite liʻiliʻi ma ka papahele ma hope o kona ʻae ʻana iā mākou e nānā. He k modelkohu maʻalahi ia e koi ana i ka wili ʻana i luna e huli a pio.

Ua hoʻomaka ʻo ia e kamaʻilio me nā ʻuhane keiki o ka hōkele a hiki iā ʻoe ke ʻike i ka hoʻomaka ʻana o ke ana wela i loko o ka lumi. Ua nānā au i lalo i ka mea heluhelu EMF hapa poina i kuʻu lima a ua kī ʻia i kāna ana kiʻekiʻe loa. ʻO ia ka manawa i pio ai ke kukui uila, a i kekahi mau manawa ma hope, hoʻi hou. Ke hoʻomau nei ʻo ia e kamaʻilio me nā keiki a nīnau iā lākou i nā nīnau i loko o nā minuke he XNUMX a ʻoi paha, ua lilo ka helu o nā manawa a ke kukui i kū a pio i ka pane ʻana i kāna mau nīnau. ʻO ka mea heluhelu EMF i kuʻi i hope a ma waena o kāna mau heluhelu kiʻekiʻe loa a me nā haʻahaʻa me ka ʻole o ka ʻōlelo aʻoaʻo ma waena o nā loli. Ua hoʻolōʻihi wau i kahi manawa e nānā ana i nā puka a me nā pono uila akā ʻaʻole i loaʻa kahi kūpina mai iā lākou. Akā he mau lumi ʻē aʻe kā mākou e mākaʻikaʻi ai a me nā mea ʻē aʻe e ʻike ai, no laila pono mākou e ʻūlū a hele i ka hale nui no ke koena o ka huakaʻi.

Ma loko, hele auwana mākou mai kahi lumi a i kahi lumi, e hoʻolohe ana i nā moʻolelo hou aʻe e pili ana i nā haʻulana a me nā hopena o ka hōʻihi ʻole ʻana i kekahi o nā ʻuhane i ka hōkele. ʻO Mrs. Stanley he piano piano papa ʻahamele kāna wahine a hoʻopuehu ʻia kāna mau piano ma loko o ka hōkele, akā ʻaʻole lākou no nā malihini e pāʻani, ʻo ia hoʻi ka piano ma kahi lumi lumi wahine ma ka hale nui. ʻO ka ʻuhane o Mrs. Stanley he mea hōʻino loa ia i ka make e like me ia i ke ola, a ua ʻike ʻia ʻo ia e kīkaha i ka uhi piano ma nā lima o ka poʻe i kūlike ʻole i kā lākou mākau pāʻani. Ua hana pinepine ʻia e kāʻili ʻia nā piano me nā ʻōlelo aʻoaʻo i kau ʻia i nā mea hana kolohe e hoʻāʻo e hoʻāʻo i kā lākou lima ma "Chopsticks" ma kekahi o kāna mea kani.

Mai ka lumi, ua neʻe mākou i ka Ballroom, a ma ʻaneʻi i haʻi hope ʻia ai iā mākou ka moʻolelo o ko Stephen King kipa ʻana i ka Stanley Hotel. Me he mea lā ua pā ʻo King i ka paia i kāna puke hou loa. Ua pili i kahi ʻohana psychics i paʻa i loko o kahi hale ʻino haunted hale i kahi leʻaleʻa, a ʻaʻole e hele i kahi. Ua ʻōlelo ʻo kahi hoaaloha nona e hele aku no kahi mau lā ʻelua me kona ʻohana a paipai iā Stanley ma ke ʻano he wahi. Ua hōʻea ʻo ia me kāna wahine i ka lā hope o ke kau a haʻi ʻia e pau ana nā mea āpau. Ua pīhoihoi ʻo King no kahi manawa a haʻi ʻia hiki iā lākou ke noho no hoʻokahi pō. Ua iho ʻo ia i kēlā ahiahi e inu i ka pā a nalowale ke ala e hoʻi hou ai i ka lumi. I ka hiamoe hope ʻana, ua loaʻa ʻo ia iā ia iho i waenakonu o nā moeʻuhane weliweli kahi i ʻoki ʻia ai e nā ʻōnaehana pīpī pīpī i ka paia.

Lele ʻo ia i waho o kahi moe a piʻi i luna i ka veranda no kahi uahi. I ka manawa āna i hoʻi hope ai i loko, ua hoʻomaka ʻo ia i kahi outline i kona manaʻo no ka mea e lilo ka Kealohilani.

I kēia manawa, ke hele nei ka huakaʻi i lalo, a i ka wā i hoʻokuʻu aku ai kā mākou alakaʻi alakaʻi i ka hui, ua kāhea mai ʻo ia iaʻu a nīnau mai inā makemake wau e nānā i kekahi mau mea ʻē aʻe. Ua ʻike ʻo ia ma laila wau no iHorror a manaʻo wale ʻo ia aia paha i hoʻokahi a ʻelua paha mea hou aʻe e hoihoi iaʻu. ʻO kēia kahi i hoʻomaka ai nā mea e hoihoi.

Ua holo mākou i luna i ka leki uila kahiko a puka i ka papahele ʻelua. ʻAʻole hoʻonāukiuki nā ala hele ma aneʻi. ʻIke lākou ma waho o ke kaulike, me he mea ʻoi aku ka lōʻihi ma mua o ka hōkele ponoʻī, kahi manaʻo i hoʻonui ʻia e nā aniani nunui e kau ana i kēlā me kēia hopena e kū pono ana kekahi i kekahi.

Ua hele wāwae māua i kahi keʻena ʻaoʻao pōkole. Ua hoʻokaʻawale ʻia nā lumi ma aneʻi no nā limahana hōkele e pono ai i kahi lumi no ka pō a ua hakahaka lākou i kēia manawa. Ua haʻi ʻo ia iā mākou i ka moʻolelo o kekahi mau limahana i holo i waho o ka lumi ma ka hope o ke alaloa ʻaʻole hiki ke hoʻi mai no ke alo a lākou i manaʻo ai ma laila. I ko mākou huli ʻana e hele aku, ua kūpulu mākou ʻekolu i ko mākou mau wahi i ka lohe ʻana i kēlā puka hoʻokahi a wehe a laila pani. Huli mākou i hope e nānā a ʻaʻohe mea ma laila. Ma hope o kahi manawa, ua ʻōlelo ke alakaʻi e neʻe i kahi mea hou.

Piʻi mākou i ke alapiʻi i ka papa aʻe a hiki mākou i kahi trio o ka poʻe e noho ana ma waenakonu o ke alaloa e hoʻāʻo ana e hoʻopili aku i nā ʻuhane o nā keiki a mākou i hālāwai ai me mākou ma ka huakaʻi. E noho ana kahi keikikāne me Tootsie Pops i nā lima ʻelua e hāʻawi ana iā lākou i kēia mau ʻuhane ʻōpio. Ua noi lākou iā mākou e hui pū me lākou a ua noho wau i luna o kahi moena liʻiliʻi ma kahi e noho ana ke keiki ma ka papahele. Ua noi wau inā e noʻonoʻo ʻo ia e kaʻana like me aʻu i ka candy a e ʻae iaʻu e hoʻāʻo, a hāʻawi ʻiʻo aku ia i kekahi o nā mea hānai iaʻu.

Kau wau i kuʻu lima, pālima i luna, ma kuʻu kuli a hoʻomoe i ka mea hānai me ka lāʻau kokoke i koʻu manamana nui a me ke kanakē ma waenakonu o ka pāma. Ua kamaʻilio mālie wau i nā keiki a haʻi aku iā lākou hiki iā lākou ke loaʻa ka candy inā lākou e lawe wale. Ma hope o kekahi manawa, i kā mākou pūʻiwa āpau, ua hoʻomaka ka lāʻau mai Tootsie Po e ala aʻe i kuʻu lima. Ua neʻe i kahi kūlana kū i luna, kū i laila i kahi manawa, a laila hāʻule a ma waho o kuʻu lima.

Nānā wau a puni i nā poʻe ʻē aʻe, ʻakaʻaka, a ʻōlelo, "Manaʻo wau ua hiki i ka manawa e hoʻi i ka home, i kēia manawa."

Ua hoʻi hou ke alakaʻi iā mākou i lalo a ua kamaʻilio mākou no kekahi mau minuke hou ma mua o ka hele ʻana i waho i ka lewa mauna mauna hauʻoli. Ua nui nā mea i hana ʻia ma ka huakaʻi huakaʻi, a he nui nā hanana i hōʻike ʻole ʻia e pili ana iā mākou i ka huakaʻi e nānā ana kekahi i kekahi no ka wehewehe ʻana. ʻO ia kahi ʻano o nā mea āu e ʻike ai no ʻoe iho, a inā ʻoe he fan i ka paranormal a me nā hauntings, ke noi aku nei wau iā ʻoe e hele i Estes Park a hana pēlā.

Hiki iā ʻoe ke ʻike hou aku i ka ʻike e pili ana i ka hōkele a me nā huakaʻi like ʻole ma ka loulou maanei.
