Four Nights at the Stanley Hotel. The Bathroom Light Was On (I'd Turned It Off). (Ep. 2 of 3)

The bathroom light was on. I had turned it off before I went to bed. I know that the way I know my own name. I've turned off the bathroom light in a thousand hotel rooms across this country. It was on.  And it was moving. Night Two at the Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, Colorado. Six guests in the entire building. Off-season. The week before partial winter closure. In Episode One, I gave every strange thing that happened a reasonable explanation. The notebook. The shoes. The sound in the hall. Night Two, the explanations started coming harder. In this episode: what a maintenance worker wrote in 1962 and then filed away and never mentioned again. A chef who won't go into his own basement after ten o'clock. A housekeeper who watched someone disappear from a fourth-floor corridor — and finished her shift anyway. A room that had been empty all week. And what happened at 2:17 in the morning when I finally ran out of reasonable things to tell myself. I'm not a ghost hunter. I don't perform fear for an audience. I'm an investigator who goes to places that have things wrong with them and tries to explain what's there. Night Two at the Stanley, I couldn't find the right explanation. Episode Three drops soon.
