Step inside "The Shining hotel," the Colorado resort that inspired Stephen King's horror classic, and uncover its eerie past and thrilling present.
Stanley built the hotel on land that he had purchased from the Earl of Dunraven, an Irish nobleman. After first visiting the area on a hunting trip in 1872, Dunraven illegally acquired about 15,000 of the surrounding acres and attempted, unsuccessfully, to create a private hunting preserve. Understandably unpopular with the locals, Dunraven left in 1884.
