Whether you love to travel, are fascinated by the paranormal, or both, get ready to tour Colorado in a totally new way! Ghost Hunting Colorado guides you to 25 fascinating and historic places—from famous hotels and mountain towns to theaters, mansions, and natural landmarks. Every location is open to the public, and here’s the catch: Every place is reportedly home to restless spirits!
Join Kailyn Lamb Fitzhugh on a paranormal investigation to discover the creepiest corners of the Centennial State. Read Kailyn’s accounts, learn the history of each site, and discover the ghosts said to reside there. Then grab your gear and hit the road as you visit each location first-hand. A handy travel-guide section provides addresses, websites (when available), and practical information for visiting the featured sites. Photographs throughout bring these unforgettable destinations to life, while Kailyn’s tips and suggestions help you make the most of each experience.
From Capitol Hill’s grand and ghostly Patterson Inn to the legendary Stanley Hotel, from the eerie Cave of the Winds to mysterious figures at Red Rocks Amphitheatre, this book presents unnerving hideaways that even lifelong Coloradans might not know about. Part travel guide and part fireside read, Ghost Hunting Colorado puts you in the middle of the state’s haunted history. Pack your curiosity (and maybe a flashlight) and experience Colorado in a unique way that you’ll never forget.
