Photos: Man in Dark Suit - The Stanley Hotel


Over the years I have seen many unusual photos and images from the Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, Colorado. Today I received another inquiry with images. Here is the correspondence:

My family just stayed at The Stanley Hotel in Estes Park Colorado on Saturday July 7th. We just got home and started looking at some pictures. We noticed in two of the pictures an elderly Gentleman who seemed a bit out of place. The first picture you can see him standing in the doorway. (The Macgregor Room) If you look around his neck it looks like an old fashioned thick tie not tied yet and some mist in front of him. He is tall and thin and balding. The room was also roped off at the time. My Wife then took a picture 16 seconds later up the stairs, and it seems to be the same elderly man with no bottom half going up the stairs, and if you look at his hand, it looks very odd. She swears that no one was in the picture when she took it, and never even saw an elderly man. There was a wedding reception going on, but this was before all the guests arrived. You can see the D.J. in the pictures. Could this have been F.O. Stanley?


I received the following email after I replied and asked if I could post the images on the blog:

Absolutely! My wife and daughter swear that they never noticed this gentleman in the pictures at all! Especially the one on the stairs. My Wife said when she took that, she knew nobody was in the way. If you zoom in on his neck too, on the doorway picture, it is a really odd shape. The tie also stumps me...is it a tie? it is like a blob of black or blue. You can see the mist on the front off him as well. It is like he is staring into space! The arm is really long as well. The picture to the right of him looks like the same person as well. She was standing at the bottom of the main stairwell off the lobby when she took these. I still can’t figure out where his bottom half is on the staircase either. Also the hand is very odd. Try to recreate it with your own hand. Thanks for the interest. These are great pictures!



Well folks...you make your own determination. Feel free to comment. BTW, I have posted a few links with other images forwarded to me that were taken at the Stanley Hotel...Lon

In the one photo, enlarged, it appears his left hand is at an angle suggesting he is unconcously reaching toward a portion of the bannister rail as he may be moving to turn left and proceed up the staircase.
The lower portion of the body appears to be in a mist. I'm not at all surprised at the distortion of the extremities, given that the energy needed to form the apartition is not going to be well defined. I think of (time) warping, when I see distortions like these.

The tie, that black "thing" at the neck made me think of a black boutinere, funeral corsage perhaps? Again, distortion by formation would lend to the weird displacement on the tie.....

Anyway, interesting photos! Thanks again and sorry for the duplicate post. Darn mobile pages! ;)
