Hotel Lobby:




"Infamous" Room 217



Amanda Tapping (Sanctuary, Stargate: Atlantis)

here is an EXCLUSIVE ghost "encounter" we had with the GHOST HUNTER team of Jason Hawes and Grant Wilson:

The footage in the first 2 minutes gets cutoff at the bottom where the light is but I am working on fixing that now. I wanted to get you this footage as soon as possible...



Again, Sci Fi Channel hosted a press event on September 27, 2008 at the STANLEY HOTEL in Estes Park, Colorado. This is the site of the live GHOST HUNTERS special on Halloween in 2006 as well as numerous other episodes. Jason & Grant took us on an exclusive "hunt" in the infamous Room 401. The footage is very dark and grainy but watch the single light on the screen. Using the K2 electro-magnetic device, Jason & Grant attempted to contact a ghost and ask "yes or no" questions. The following is what took place...

Peter - how were you feeling (was it creepy scary) through this? Did you experience anything other than the lights in the video? That had to be creepy to see the lights respond. Any kind of shinanigans going on with the Hunters? Did you ever get the feeling that maybe somethings were being manipulated byt them?

Edit:
and thanks for deciding to go afterall. Its cool that you get to share this with us!

Niiiiiiccce.... way to get in there peter!

yeah, I was the only one that filmed. I think everyone figured they couldn't but I filmed and no one stopped me so I think they were cool with it.

Honestly, I'm a skeptic with this kind of stuff, but I am a skeptic who wants to believe so I was looking for anything funny going on. Here is what happened:

Jason and Grant were standing outside of the room when our group arrive and they invited us in. A colleague of mine went in the room first, followed by Jason, Grant and the rest of us. Just as he entered the room, a glass fell. I saw the glass and it was on a tray on a table, complete level surface, not stacked.

Earlier in the day, they told us that a Sci Fi Channel employee entered the closet and felt pushing on her back and another member of the press stated the same thing happened to her. I volunteered to enter the closet to see if anything happened, but nothing did. I left the closet and joined back with the group.

Jason went a sat back on the bed, leaning back on his side with his hands in full view. Grant stood near the table with the glass and K2, leaning against a wall, hands out and not touching the table except during the one part in the video where he knocks on it. As a skeptic, I was thinking that maybe they were using a remote control of some sort to control the device but they both had their hands out the entire time. The room was small and, since i was in the small closet, I know no one was in there. The K2 did not respond randomly or to voice as we asked it contradicting questions and it didn't fail.

Unless there was someone under the bed (they would have had to have been small since there was barely enough room for my shoes under them), I could not find a way that this device was being altered...

I have been to many "haunted" places before and this one is the first one to give me any kind of "weird" feeling, like something was there that I couldn't see. Again, I am a skeptic so this could have just been because of the content of the weekened itself.

As for "creeped out", no I did not feel that. I felt that, if there was something there, it wasn't trying to or capable of hurting me. The only time I did is when I was entering my room for the last time to pack, I felt like someone was watching me and I looked up and down the hall and saw nothing. For some reason, it didn't feel right so I entered the room immediately.

oooh.... it reminds me of a song...

ok, so, no proof of anything hear and even the experience was probably just due to the fact that the hotel is old or that fact that it was cold outside and warm inside.

I was sitting on the bed, talking to my wife when I heard a "pop" and I looked up and saw that the window was broken. I went for the door and opened it and a staff member was standing right outside my door and told me that he heard the popping noise (he was standing on the floor because the lights were out for a GHOST HUNTERS tour). He came in almost immediately after (about 20 seconds after the pop) and found the glass scattered INSIDE about 2 feet. The screen, which was permanently installed, was not damaged.

I know the video shows nothing but a broken window and no proof of any paranormal or "ghost" activity but I thought it was weird at least. I filmed the first few seconds after the staff cleaned up the glass and the second (darker) part a little later that night. Sorry for the bad quality.

Chase started last night. Your description of it was a lot better than the actual show. There were too many contestants running around and we didn't get to find out much about any of them so who cares who won. It sounds like it was more fun being a participant than a viewer.

I think I'd probably agree with that assessment. I didn't see the show before the sent the screener about a week before it aired.
