In 1874, a group of prospectors set out into Colorado’s frozen wilderness in search of gold — but only one man returned. His name was Alfred Packer, and his story would become one of Colorado’s most infamous and gruesome legends.

In this episode, Amanda and Kori unravel the chilling events that led to the deaths of Packer’s companions, the investigation that followed, and the dark legacy that turned him into the “Colorado Cannibal.”

Was Packer a desperate survivor… or a cold-blooded murderer?

In 1987, a man and his dog vanished into the wilderness near Silver Plume, Colorado. One year later, another man followed — never to return.

️Mystery. Mountains. And a story that refuses to rest.

Nestled high in the Rocky Mountains, the Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, Colorado, is known for its elegance, its history… and its ghosts. From the near-fatal explosion that nearly claimed housekeeper Elizabeth Wilson, to the lingering melodies of Flora Stanley’s beloved Steinway piano, the Stanley’s story blurs the line between life and afterlife.

In this episode, Amanda explores the haunting legacy of the hotel that inspired Stephen King’s The Shining — uncovering tales of tragedy, recovery, and the enduring presence of its founder, Freelan Oscar Stanley, whose spirit may still watch over the grand halls he built.

Step inside Room 217, ascend to the eerie fourth floor, and meet the hotel’s spectral residents — including the flirtatious ghost of Rocky Mountain Jim. Some say they’re just stories… others say the Stanley’s spirits are still very much alive.

Listen now to discover why this Colorado landmark remains one of America’s most haunted hotels.
