With a long and storied past, it’s no surprise that Colorado is said to be home to several places where paranormal activity takes place.

Those looking for ‘haunted’ places to visit should add a few of these destinations to their bucket list:

1. The Stanley Hotel

The Stanley Hotel served as Stephen King’s inspiration for “The Shining,” and for good reason. Children’s laughter is said to be heard in empty hallways at this Estes Park spot and haunting piano music plays from the vacant ballroom. The hotel hosts a variety of tours including The Stanley Hotel Historic Day Tour, The Shining Tour, The Stanley Hotel Night Tour, and Ice House Tour. Visitors will learn about the hotel’s history, architecture, folklore, and pop culture on the tours, and perhaps even leave with a paranormal story of their own. Whether you’re headed there to stay the night or just stopping by, this one is worth checking out.

2. Museum of Colorado Prisons

Housed in a former women’s correctional facility, this museum depicts the lives of inmates and guards who once roamed the cell house. There are reports of cold spots and the smell of tobacco from the old laundry room, and a female prisoner allegedly haunts cell 19, where she died. Visitors may experience the paranormal activity themselves at the museum’s Paranormal Investigation Nights, which consist of a night of ghost hunting with the latest equipment to ‘capture your own proof.’

3. Central City Masonic Cemetery

According to Colorado.com, orbs of light impair photographs taken at this cemetery. A little boy has also been seen following people around the cemetery and hiding behind trees when witnesses try to speak with him, as well as a mysterious woman in black appears twice a year to place columbines on John Edward Cameron’s grave. She disappears when visitors approach. The Gilpin County Historical Society leads Creepy Crawls around the area each October.

4. Cripple Creek

Cripple Creek is a hot spot for haunted sites, as it has a rich history as a former mining camp. Buffalo Billy’s Casino is reportedly inhabited by a young girl’s spirit who draws on the walls and sends bar glasses flying through the air. The Colorado Grande Casino is haunted by Maggie, an Irish woman who is said to play slots after hours. The Hotel St. Nicholas is also supposedly haunted and the Mt. Pisgah Cemetery offers tours in late September.

5. Phantom Canyon Road

This road is a detour off the Gold Belt Tour byway and the former route of the Florence and Cripple Creek Railroad. The drive will take you up 4,000 feet on a narrow, unpaved road, going through eerie mountain tunnels and the ghost towns of Wilbur, Adelaide, and Glenbrook. You might even spot the ghost of a 1902 prison inmate spotted walking the railway after being executed.

6. Hotel Colorado

This historic hotel in Glenwood Springs has been welcoming guests since 1893 and is known as one of the Centennial State’s most haunted accommodations. The hotel was leased to the United States Navy for use as a hospital during World War II, and multiple presidents have stayed there, including President William Howard Taft and President Theodore Roosevelt. Both guests and staff have reported the sound of a woman wailing, and the lights flicker unexpectedly.

7. Cheesman Park

Cheesman Park sits on what used to be Denver’s first cemetery, so it’s no surprise that it’s considered to be haunted. The cemetery was closed in 1890, but some graves remained in the area. It doesn’t help that an attempt to remove bodies from the cemetery was botched in a very disturbing manner. Visitors have reported ghostly encounters at the eerie park, including spotting apparitions walking through the park at night. Tours can be found online.

8. Hotel Jerome

Located in Aspen, Hotel Jerome is known for its history and contemporary luxury. It was opened in 1889, survived the silver crash, and now stands as an iconic Aspen stay. However, staff have reported numerous ghost encounters, particularly on the third floor. Guests have also reportedly seen a wet and shivering boy who drowned in the pool. There have also been reports of heat being turned on in empty rooms, sinks being filled with water, and things being moved.

9. Highlands Ranch Mansion

Built in 1891, this mansion is supposedly haunted by Frank Kistler’s daughter, Julia. Guests have reported hearing her sob and seeing her figure when the place was empty.

10. Molly Brown House

Molly Brown was a survivor of the Titanic, and renowned for her charitable, philanthropic, and humanitarian status. Her house is now a popular haunted attraction in Colorado. Visitors have reported paranormal activity like cold spots in the house.
