About seven years ago I was working as a housekeeper.One of my jobs was cleaning the Onaledge Bed and Breakfast in Manitou Springs.

I was told by several Manitou Springs residents about the "Ghost of Stu," who resided at the Analedge. Stu was a happy ghost.

I was skeptical of Stu's existence. That is, until one day when Stu made himself known to me in a most peculier way. He whistled a tune, but I can't recall what it was, only that it didn't scare me. It just sort of startled me and I stopped dead in my tracks.

The following week when I returned to Onaledge I had my second, and what would turn out to be my last, meeting with Stu. As I was mopping the kitchen floor, all of the sudden my bucket of mop water was kicked over and the contents were spread across the floor. It didn't take me long to relaize it was Stu and I high-tailed it out of their.

I jumped in my car as quickly as I could and never returned. I don't know if Stu finished mopping the kitchen or not.

To this day I am believer in Stu.

From what I understand, Stu died in the house in the 1930s from tuberculosis. The owners of Onaledge claim to have had several exerpiences with Stu as well. Stu appeared on their daughter's wedding photo. They also claim that Stu liked to whistle when they were in the house.

I have been told that Stu is one of many ghosts in Manitou Springs. But not all of them are as carefree as Stu.
