Never been to the Stanley myself but I've spent a fair bit of time at locations with old industrial lift shafts and service elevators and there's something consistently odd about them that I've never been able to fully explain. The vertical shaft aspect might be part of it - some researchers think these act almost like conduits. Has anyone actually measured EMF fluctuations near that specific elevator or is it purely experiential? I'd be interested to know if the feeling was more physical, like pressure or temperature drop, or something harder to pin down like just a general sense of being watched or not wanting to be there. I've had both types and they feel quite different to me.
Did anyone else feel weird near the old service elevator at the Stanley Hotel?
@DarkForest you cut off mid sentence there mate, what were you actually going to say?
That said, yes - lift shafts in old buildings are genuinely some of the strangest spots I've investigated. Did a Victorian mill in Suffolk about three years back and the old service shaft had this oppressive feeling that hit you the moment you got within about ten feet of it. Nothing dramatic, no bangs or voices, just this horrible sense that something was watching from below. Never quite worked out if it was atmospheric pressure from the shaft itself or something else entirely. Old shafts act like chimneys for whatever's down there I reckon.
