Google Maps
Go ahead and begin wherever is closest to you. In our case, it’s the infamous Stanley Hotel.
Google Maps
- The Stanley Hotel (Estes Park)
Wikimedia Commons Heeere’s Johnny! (Sorry, I had to do it.) The Stanley Hotel is hands down the most famous and notorious haunted hotel in the Rocky Mountain region, with reports of paranormal activity beginning in the 1970s. Today, the hotel is a favorite destination for both dignitaries and ghost hunters alike.
- Fitzsimons Army Medical Center (Aurora)
Wikimedia Commons I will argue that every deserted hospital has some sort of paranormal activity, and Fitzsimons proves just that. The former hospital grounds are said to be haunted by angry spirits, sightings of deceased military and unexplainable noises.
- Cheesman Park (Denver)
Wikimedia Commons I have actually been to Cheesman Park on a number of occasions and never realized that it was built on the old City Cemetery… I’m not going back anytime soon.
- The Cliff House at Pikes Peak (Manitou Springs)
Yelp Don’t let the elegant and innocent-looking Cliff House fool you; many have reported not only seeing white orbs, but hearing mysterious voices around the historic home as well.
- Central City Masonic Cemetery (Central City)
Ancestral Breezes by Jen Baldwin/Creative Commons Cemeteries are the perfect setting for a haunting and the Masonic Cemetery is no exception (See: Young woman in black dress leaving flowers on the grave of her beloved).
- The Historic Brown Hotel & Restaurant (Breckenridge)
Yelp Please note, The Historic Brown Hotel & Restaurant has permanently closed. Stop in, have a drink and keep an eye out for Ms. Whitney, a lady of the night who was murdered in 1900 for using the hotel as her “office.” To this day, you can still see the young woman roaming the halls of the hotel.
