Welcome To this “Haunted Hotel!”

Here’s a story for adventure seekers – a hotel that is “serial killer themed!”

The Black Monarch Hotel Welcomes You – To Death!

It might not look intimidating from the outside, but once you step inside its creepy doors, the Black Monarch hotel in Victor, Colorado:

“offers an over-the-top immersive art experience for those who fetishize nightmares and is the latest addition to a thriving haunted hotel industry that has become big business in Colorado.”

Yes, there is big business in “haunted hotels!”

Here’s the story I found thanks to TheGuardian.com:

“Adam Zimmerli, the hotel’s owner and renovator, purchased the former brothel and saloon last year, amazed at how perfectly preserved it was from its 1899 construction. Zimmerli embraced the building’s reputation of being haunted by spirits of the past (Zimmerli says multiple people have seen a woman looking out from one of the hotel’s windows, even when it was empty) and outfitted each of the four rooms with a different spine-tingling theme to rouse the morbid corners of guest’s imaginations.”

Not only has Zimmerli captured the spookiness of the Hotel, it appears the entire town might be haunted!

As The Guardian noted:

The Black Monarch isn’t unique in Victor in that sense. Strange sounds, moving objects and the appearance of translucent miners or bordello sex workers are said to haunt the entire miniature town.

Victor looks as it did in its heyday of the early 20th century, when it was the fifth-largest city in the state and was pumping out billions of dollars of gold (adjusted for inflation) out of the 500 mines that surrounded it. The town went from a booming economy with a population of 18,000 to nearly a ghost town by the 1990s, and it has a bloody past.

Zimmerli has maintained much of the design of a gold rush saloon (tall ceilings, tin-plated walls) but added a gothic tone in the form of black walls and ceilings, countless stuffed animals, skulls and vast libraries of books with titles like Carnal Crimes, Diseases of Children and The History of the Devil.

The HH Holmes room, named for the World’s Fair serial killer who murdered tourists while they slept in his hotel, is decorated with several human anatomy posters, antique medical equipment and instruments of torture like pitchforks, scythes and axes on the wall.

The Guardian goes on to note that Colorado’s haunted hotel took off originally after “The Shining” filmed scenes at Colorado’s Stanley Hotel.

Stephen King got the idea for “The Shining” at The Stanley, and the place has managed to become one of the most popular destinations among paranormal tourists, particularly during its annual horror film festival. Room 217 – the one King was checked into during his lightbulb moment, and later used in the book – is the most frequently requested room, because of rumors of it being haunted.
