For thousands of years, different cultures have talked about serpent-like creatures that resembled dragons. In Japan they had a name for it — Ryujin — who lived in a coral palace at the bottom of the sea, with jewels that could raise and drop the tide, and a bloodline that ran straight into the imperial family. Some say it's folklore. Others think there might be a scientific explanation. One that makes the idea dragons seem not so far fetched after all.

Around the year 1229, one Bohemian monk supposedly made a deal with the devil resulting in a giant book that was written in one single night. As the book exchanged hands over the following centuries, it was said to be cursed, even hypnotizing those who laid eyes on it.

When the Stanley Hotel opened in 1909, it was a playground for the rich, with its high end electric lights, a grand ballroom, and an unbeatable view of the Rockies. By 1974, though, the magic had worn off. That is, until author Stephen King spent one night in the hotel and woke up with the idea for The Shining. Afterward, people called it one of the most haunted locations in America. Not because of King’s novel, but because of the numerous ghost sightings that have happened there over the decades.
