The Stanley Hotel, which inspired Stephen King's novel The Shining and  was  the filming location of the mini-series, has a pet cemetery right next door.  No, I'm not kidding!

The irony isn't lost on the UK publication The Telegraph, which noted, " a stunning irony considering that King also penned the novel Pet Semetary about a burial ground with the power to bring dead animals and children to life."

The article also recounts strange incidents at the Stanley Hotel, including,

Numerous ghouls including the ghost of Lord Dunraven - the original owner of the hotel - have apparently taken up house in room 418 in particular. 

Guests and staff have reported hearing the sounds of children playing in the corridors late at night and of piano music coming from its empty ballroom.

So what do you do if your hotel is haunted?  Move the pet cemetery of course!  Seriously -- that's the plan.  The owners of the hotel plan to dig up the pet cemetery and relocate it.  Nothing like disturbing the graves of local pets when people already think your haunt is, well, haunted.
