Well-known publication Forbes recently published a list of the 13 ‘spookiest ghost towns to visit’ in the United States and one place in Colorado snagged a spot.

Ranking 6th was St. Elmo ghost town, which is located in the Buena Vista area, near Nathrop. The publication notes that while the town was thriving with more than 2,000 residents in the 1880s, it was mostly abandoned by 1936.

Though the town fell out of popularity, one wealthy family stayed behind – the Starks.

One of the three Stark children was named Annabelle, according to Legends of America, and she became a sort of guardian of the town after the rest of her family had died or moved on.

Eventually, Annabelle was sent to a mental institution with her husband, ultimately passing away in a nursing home in 1960. That being said, a number of sources note that the ghost of Annabelle Stark can still be seen in the ghost town today, typically lurking for a brief moment in windows of abandoned buildings and seen in a white dress. It’s believed her intention of sticking around is to protect the property.

It’s no surprise that St. Elmo made the cut for a list of ghost towns to visit – it’s easy to reach, at the end of a long dirt road. It’s also one of the best-maintained ghost towns in the state, with informational placards and a general store that opens on a seasonal basis.
