This is the hotel where Stephen King got his inspiration for "The Shining" and is included in the movie. This hotel is in Estes Park and is featured in the show "Ghost Hunters" as well. Guests have claimed to see the piano playing itself, apparitions of people, and noises of children playing. 138 rooms on 38 acres leave a lot of space for some weird stuff to happen.

This the alleged first ever UFO Watchtower in Del Norte, Colo. Camping reservations can be made and a museum is on the way. Guests are encouraged to bring cameras to capture orbs and other sightings.

This zoo has no animals - just art. All the animals here were built from salvaged parts from all types of vehicles and metal. Dinosaurs and a metal band, literally, can be seen at Swetsville Zoo in Fort Collins, Colo.
