Every location is open to the public, and here’s the catch: Every place is reportedly home to restless spirits!
Join Kailyn Lamb on a paranormal investigation to discover the creepiest corners of the Centennial State. Read the author’s account of her visit to each site and learn about its history—as well as the ghosts said to reside there. Then grab your gear and hit the road as you visit each location first-hand. Every entry comes with an address and website (if available), plus photographs of these unforgettable destinations. Kailyn’s tips and suggestions allow you to maximize the enjoyment of each experience.
From Capitol Hill’s grand and ghostly Patterson Inn to shadowy mountain roads near Pikes Peak, from apparitions among the red sandstone at the Garden of the Gods to mysterious figures at Red Rocks Amphitheatre, this book presents eerie 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.
Each entry includes
- historical overview of the haunted place
- ghost stories associated with the location
