Pokhala m'mapiri a Rocky moyang'anizana ndi Estes Park, Colorado, Stanley Hotel ikukhala mokongola, ikupereka chakudya chabwino, maonekedwe okongola, zipinda zokongola, ndi chinthu chimodzi chomwe chimasiyanitsa ndi mahotela ena m'kalasi yake. Hotelo ya Stanley imangokhalira kunyansidwa, KWAMBIRI.

Pazaka XNUMX zapitazi, hoteloyo yasonkhanitsa mizukwa yambiri pang'onopang'ono ndipo palibe amene akudziwa chifukwa chake. Chimene tikudziwa ndi chakuti, pazifukwa zilizonse, zowopsya za Stanley zimakhala zogwira mtima kwambiri ndipo zakhala zikulimbikitsa malingaliro a olemba ndi opanga mafilimu omwewo, osachepera omwe anali Stephen King ndi buku lake. Kuwala.

M'zaka makumi awiri zapitazi, Stanley adalandira bwino mbiri yake ndi anthu ake auzimu ndipo wayamba kupereka maulendo a tsiku ndi tsiku kuti alendo a hoteloyo ndi alendo ena kuderali athe kukhala ndi zochitika zonse za Stanley. Ena amafotokoza mbiri ya nyumba ndi womanga wake; zina, zakale zokongola ndi mipando anawonjezera kusonkhanitsa hotelo kwa zaka. Ndipo palinso maulendo a mizimu omwe amachitika usiku kwambiri kuti apatse iwo omwe ali ndi chidwi ndi zachilendo kulawa zabwino kwambiri zomwe Stanley angapereke.

Ndinali ndi mwayi, posachedwa, kutenga umodzi wa Ghost Tours wamadzulo uwu ndipo chinali chochitika chomwe sindidzaiwala posachedwa. Sindikuwuzani zonse zomwe zidachitika paulendowu. Ndikadatero, sipangakhale chifukwa choti mutengere nokha ndipo ndichinthu chomwe muyenera kudziwonera nokha, koma ndikupatsani zina mwazomwe ndimakonda kwambiri paulendo wosangalatsawu.

Tinafika kuhoteloko dzuwa likulowa pang’onopang’ono m’mphepete mwa mapiri. Malo otambalala amasungidwa bwino kwambiri ndipo tinawona mwamsanga nsonga zingapo zomwe zinkangoyendayenda kuchokera m'nkhalango zozungulira, zikudya udzu pa udzu wokonzedwa bwino. Hoteloyo inali mkati mwa ntchito yomanga yofunikira ndipo analinso kuyala maziko a chiwombankhanga chomwe chidzawonjezedwe pamalowo chilimwechi. Tinalowa muhoteloyo ndipo mwamsanga tinapeza chipinda chochitira misonkhano kuti tiyambe ulendo.

Tinapeza mipando m’chipinda chaching’ono choyendera alendo ndipo wotitsogolera anatisonyeza gawo lachidule la The Stanley Effect, sewero lofotokoza zinthu zachilendo zomwe zinkachitika pa hoteloyo. Kanemayo atatha, adatipatsa malangizo ochepa okhudzana ndi kukhala limodzi ndipo tinanyamuka kupita kumalo athu oyamba paulendo, Concert Hall. Tinalowa m’nyumbayo n’kukwera m’chipinda cham’mwamba n’kukafika pakhonde loyang’anizana ndi holoyo.

Monga wotsogolera adatipatsa mbiri yachidule ya hoteloyo ndi omanga ake, FO Stanley ndi mkazi wake Flora, ndinakhala ndikuwonera siteji ndi zipinda ziwiri kumbali iliyonse. Atasiya phunziro la mbiri yakale, anayamba kufotokoza nkhani ya munthu wina wantchito amene analembedwa ntchito yokonza zinthu zina pabwalo. Iye ankagwira ntchito yekha usiku wonse kuti asasokoneze alendo amene ankabwera kudzadya chakudya chamasana tsiku lotsatira. Anali m'manja ndi m'mawondo, akugwedeza siteji, pamene anamva manja a munthu akugwedeza m'chiuno mwake ndikumunyamula kuti aimirire. Anatembenuka msanga, ndipo panalibe munthu. Bamboyo anathawa, n’kusiya zida zake pa siteji. Anabwerako m’maŵa mwake kudzawatenga, koma bwanayo atagwirizana ndi kutumiza naye munthu ku siteji. Anachoka ndipo sanabwerenso.

Nkhaniyi ndi yovuta, koma chomwe chinali chosangalatsa ndichakuti, monga adanenera, makatani kumanzere kwa sitejiyo adasuntha kasanu ndi kamodzi. Chipindacho chinali chosindikizidwa ndipo kunalibe mphepo, koma ngakhale pakanakhalapo, kayendetsedwe kameneka sikakanatha kuchitidwa ndi mphepo. Unali mtundu wa kayendetsedwe kamene kamachitika munthu akagwira nsalu yotchinga ndikuyikonza movutikira. Chotchingacho chinagwedezeka uku ndi uku. Titatsika, ndinayang'anitsitsa, osati kuti m'chipindamo munalibe aliyense, komanso munadzaza ndi zinthu zosiyanasiyana kotero kuti munthu amavutika kuti alowemo.

Titachoka m’khonde, tinatsikira m’chipinda chapansi pa Nyumba ya Concert. Pamene Stanley achititsa maukwati, ndipamene phwando laukwati likusintha ndikukonzekera tsiku lawo lalikulu. Titakhala pansi m'chipinda cha Mkwatibwi, wotsogolera alendo adandipatsa chowunikira cha EMF. Ma detectors a EMF amawerenga ma electromagnetic fields ndipo parapsychologists ndi ofufuza a paranormal angakuuzeni kuti mizimu ikakhalapo, mphamvu m'magawo awa nthawi zambiri imakwera.

Ndidakhala pampando womwe uli mkati mwachipinda chomwe chili pafupi ndi khomo, ndikumvera wowongolerayo pomwe amatifotokozera nkhani ya Lucy, mayi wina yemwe adapezeka akugona mu hotel. Kumayambiriro kwa nkhaniyi, panali kuyenda pang'ono pa mita ya EMF, koma pamene adanena za imfa ya Lucy ndipo akuti akubwerera ku hotelo mumzimu, mita inagwedezeka ndipo chitseko chapafupi ndi ine chinasunthira patsogolo pang'onopang'ono kenako ndikutseka. Wowongolerayo adamwetulira ndikutsegulanso chitseko, kufotokoza kuti Lucy nthawi zambiri amasewera ndi alendo mchipinda chochezera cha Mkwatibwi. Apanso, panali spike ndipo chitseko chinadzitsekeranso pang'onopang'ono.

Pambuyo pake, pamene tinapatsidwa nthaŵi yoyendayenda tokha m’chipinda chapansi, ndinapatula nthaŵi yopenda chitseko. Linali khomo lolemera, losasunthika mosavuta; panalibenso umboni wosokoneza kapena kuzungulira komwe kungapangitse kuti chitseko chitseke kudzera pakutali ndipo chifukwa chake sichingapangitse spike mu mita ya EMF.

Tisanachoke ku Concert Hall, wotiperekezayo anatenga mphindi zingapo kuti adziŵikitse ena a ife za mizimu yomwe amaikonda yomwe imayendayenda muhoteloyo. Mu hotela muli ana ambiri, koma mbali imodzi yokha ya ana amenewo ndi yamoyo. Muchimbudzi cha amayi chapansi, tinasonkhana mozungulira. Anaika masiwiti pansi ndi kuyala kachidutswa kakang'ono pansi atatilola kuti tipende. Inali chitsanzo chosavuta chomwe chimafuna kupotoza pamwamba kuti mutsegule ndi kuzimitsa.

Anayamba kuyankhula ndi mizimu yamwana wa hoteloyo ndipo mumamva kuti kutentha kumayamba kutsika m'chipindamo. Ndidayang'ana pansi kwa owerenga a EMF omwe adayiwalika m'manja mwanga ndipo adalumikizidwa pamlingo wake wapamwamba kwambiri. Apa ndi pamene nyaliyo inayatsa, ndipo patapita mphindi zochepa, inazimitsanso. Pamene anapitiriza kulankhula ndi anawo ndi kuwafunsa mafunso m’mphindi khumi zotsatira kapena kupitirira apo, ndinalephera kuŵerengera nthaŵi pamene nyaliyo inayatsidwa ndi kuzimitsidwa mwakuwoneka ngati kuyankha mafunso ake. Wowerenga wa EMF adadumpha mmbuyo ndi mtsogolo pakati pa zowerengera zake zapamwamba komanso zotsika kwambiri popanda chenjezo pakati pa zosinthazo. Ndinakhala kwakanthawi ndikuyang'ana malo ogulitsirako komanso zowunikira koma sindinapeze zondisokoneza. Koma tinali ndi zipinda zina zoti tifufuze ndi zinthu zina zowoneka bwino, motero tinayenera kunyamula katundu ndi kupita ku nyumba yaikulu kuti tikaoneko ulendo wotsala.

M’katimo, tinali kuyendayenda m’chipinda chimodzi ndi chipinda, tikumamva zambiri za nkhani za kuzunzika ndi zotulukapo zakusalemekeza mizimu ina ya muhotelayo. Akazi a Stanley zikuoneka kuti anali woimba piyano mulingo wa konsati ndipo limba zake zabalalika mu hotelo yonse, koma si za alendo oti aziimba, makamaka piyano yomwe kale inali chipinda cha amayi m'nyumba yaikulu. Mzimu wa Mayi Stanley ukadali wotsutsa pa imfa monga momwe analili m'moyo, ndipo amadziwika kuti amawombera chivundikiro cha piyano m'manja mwa anthu omwe sali oyenerera pa luso lawo loimba. Zakhala zikuchitika nthawi zambiri kuti ma piyano amangiriridwa ndi machenjezo omwe amatumizidwa kwa ochita zoipa omwe angayesere dzanja lawo pa "Chopsticks" pa chimodzi mwa zida zake.

Kuchokera m’chipinda chodyeramo, tinasamukira m’Ballroom, ndipo m’pamene tinauzidwa nkhani ya ulendo wa Stephen King ku Stanley Hotel. Zikuwoneka kuti King adagunda khoma pabuku lake laposachedwa. Zinakhudza banja la asing'anga omwe atsekeredwa m'nyumba yoyipa yokopa anthu pamalo osangalatsa, ndipo sikunapite kulikonse. Mnzake wina adamuuza kuti achokeko ndi banja lake kwa masiku angapo ndipo adalimbikitsa Stanley ngati kopita. Iye ndi mkazi wake anafika pa tsiku lomaliza la nyengoyo ndipo anauzidwa kuti zonse zatsala pang’ono kutha. King anangocheza pang'ono ndipo pamapeto pake adauzidwa kuti atha kukhala usiku umodzi. Anatsikira madzulo kuti akamwe mowa mu bar ndipo anasowa njira kubwerera kuchipinda. Atagona tulo, adapezeka kuti ali m'maloto oopsa pomwe adanyongedwa ndi mapaipi a sprinkler pakhoma.

Analumpha pabedi n’kuponda pakhonde kuti afuse utsi. Pamene anabwerera mkati, anali atayamba kale kupanga autilaini m'maganizo mwake za zomwe zidzachitike Kuwala.

Panthawiyi, ulendowo unali utatha, ndipo pamene wotiperekezayo anatiuza kuti achoke, anandiitana n’kundifunsa ngati ndingakonde kuonanso zinthu zina zingapo. Amadziwa kuti ndinalipo pa iHorror ndipo amangoganiza kuti pakhoza kukhala chinthu chimodzi kapena ziwiri zomwe zingandisangalatse. Apa ndi pamene zinthu zinayamba kukhala zosangalatsa.

Tinakwera m’chipinda cham’mwamba mu elevator yakale n’kutuluka pansanjika yachiwiri. Misewu apa ikusokoneza. Amawoneka osalingana, ngati kuti ndiatali kuposa hoteloyo, kumverera kokulitsidwa ndi magalasi akulu omwe akulendewera mbali iliyonse moyang'anizana.

Tinayenda pansi pafupi ndi holo yayifupi. Zipinda zonse apa zinali za anthu ogwira ntchito m'mahotela omwe angafunike malo ogona ndipo pakali pano panalibe. Anatiuza nkhani ya antchito angapo omwe adathawa m'chipinda chomwe chili kumapeto kwa kanjira osatha kubwerera chifukwa cha kupezeka kwawo komweko. Titatembenuka kuti tizichokapo, tonse atatu tinangoima m’malo athu pamene tinamva chitseko chija chikutsegulidwa kenako n’kutseka. Tinacheuka kuti tiwone ndipo panalibe munthu. Patapita nthawi, wotsogolerayo anatiuza kuti tiyambe chinthu chatsopano.

Tinakwera masitepe opita kunsanjika ina ndipo tinapeza anthu atatu atakhala pakatikati pa kanjirako n’kumayesa kulankhula ndi mizimu ya ana amene tinakumana nawo poyamba paulendowu. Mnyamata anali atakhala ndi Tootsie Pops m'manja onse akupereka kwa mizimu yaing'ono iyi. Anatipempha kuti tigwirizane nawo ndipo ndinakhala pa kampando kakang'ono pafupi ndi pamene mnyamatayo anakhala pansi. Ndinamufunsa ngati angalole kugawana nane masiwitiwo ndi kundilola kuti ndiyesere, ndipo mwachidwi anandipereka imodzi mwa maswitiwo.

Ndinayika dzanja langa, palmu mmwamba, pa bondo langa ndikuyika choyamwa pansi ndi ndodo pafupi ndi chala changa chachikulu ndi maswiti pakati pa kanjedza. Ndinalankhula ndi ana aja mwakachetechete n’kuwauza kuti atha kukhala ndi maswiti akangowalandira. Patangopita nthawi pang'ono, tonse tinadabwa, ndodo ya Tootsie Po inayamba kuwuka m'manja mwanga. Ilo linasunthira pamalo oongoka kotheratu, kuima pamenepo kamphindi, ndiyeno linagwa mozungulira ndi kuchoka m’dzanja langa.

Ndinayang'ana poyang'ana wina aliyense, ndikumwetulira, ndikuti, "Ndikuganiza kuti nthawi yakwana yoti ndipite kunyumba tsopano."

Wotsogolera alendo anatibweza m'chipinda chapansi ndipo tinacheza kwa mphindi zingapo tisanapite kumtunda wozizira wamapiri usiku. Panali zambiri zomwe zidachitika paulendowu, zochitika zochepa zosafotokozeka zomwe zidapangitsa kuti ife paulendowu tiyang'ane wina ndi mnzake kuti tifotokoze. Ndi mtundu wazinthu zomwe muyenera kudzichitira nokha, ndipo ngati ndinu wokonda zamatsenga komanso zowopsa, ndikukulimbikitsani kuti mupite ku Estes Park ndikuchita zomwezo.

Mutha kudziwa zambiri za hoteloyo komanso maulendo osiyanasiyana pa ulalo Pano.
