From the chilling events at the Roosevelt Hotel in Hollywood to the ghostly piano playing at the Stanley Hotel, these stories will make you question what's waiting for you when you finally turn out the lights.In this episode, we explore seven terrifying true stories of haunted hotels. A guest at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel couldn't shake the feeling that something was wrong the moment she walked in. Her fears were confirmed when a bathroom motion-sensor light turned on by itself at night[citation:1]. At the Stanley Hotel in Colorado, Room 217 is so famous for its supernatural occurrences that even Stephen King drew inspiration for "The Shining" from his stay there, reporting a fully formed dream about his son being chased through the hotel[citation:8]. Meanwhile, at the Omni Shoreham Hotel in Washington D.C., guests have reported hearing piano music coming from a suite that has been empty for years[citation:6].But the horror isn't always just a ghost story. Some hotels hide a dark history of tragedy. At Colorado's Windsor Hotel, a woman named Maude is said to haunt the hotel after she shot herself in her room when her lover abandoned her[citation:4]. In Oklahoma City, the Skirvin Hotel's legend of a maid's tragic fall and the ghostly wails of a baby have become so infamous that it's considered the most haunted hotel in sports[citation:10]. And all across the country, travelers have a simple piece of advice: always check under the bed. A viral flight attendant hack recommends tossing a water bottle under the bed to check for intruders—a trick that offers peace of mind, even if the idea sends chills down your spine[citation:2][citation:5][citation:7].
