country exploring haunted locations. One of the most
famous locations she’s visited is the Stanley Hotel in
Estes Park, Colorado, which became famous for Stephen
King’s The Shining. King himself stayed there, and the
experiences that he and his wife had inspired the events
of the thriller. The hotel is known as one of the most
haunted places in the country, and is a favorite place for
paranormal investigators to travel.
Lineberry has been to the hotel four times. One time,
nothing happened until around 2 a.m. when she and
her husband were asleep. A thump against the fourposter
bed, like somebody running into the corner, woke
Lineberry up.
“I looked at my husband, who was snoring, and all
of a sudden, I was facing him, and I felt the side of the
bed coming down like somebody was holding it down,”
Lineberry said. “I froze. I was about touch my husband to
wake him up when something touched my back. And I
lost it. Screaming, yelling, running.”
The next day, Lineberry’s husband played the video
and the recorder at the same time. They heard a voice a
minute before Lineberry’s “freak out.”
“It was a little girl’s voice that said, ‘Who’s that?’”
Lineberry said. “Clear as day.”
Everybody has the power to get rid of an
entity in their everyday lives. All you have
to do is be strong and say ‘go!’
Although some of her experiences sound terrifying
to a supernatural novice, she assures her clients that
paranormal entities are normally not there to harm.
Many times, they just want to stay in familiar territory
and do not realize that they are scaring the humans
that also occupy the space. But if these entities do make
clients uncomfortable, it’s easy to get rid of them.
“If you have to deal with somebody that’s intimidating,
you stand up to him just like a bully,” Lineberry said.
“Everybody has the power to get rid of an entity in their
everyday lives. All you have to do is be strong and say,
‘Go!’ or ‘Now leave my house.’ It’s literally that simple.”
While ghost stories and supernatural tales can cause
many people to run for the hills, Lineberry loves to deal
with the real thing every day. She’s helped discover a
ghost’s favorite song and even witnessed the spirit of her
former dog run between her legs like the dog had years
before she died.
She hopes that her experiences help prove to others
what she has believed for so long— that we are not alone.
