Explore 72 haunted places in Colorado. Read ghost stories, local history, source notes, and visiting information in the PHASM Haunted Atlas.
Estes Park, Colorado · Hotel
Above Estes Park, the Stanley’s ghost stories often take the form of unfinished hospitality: clothes folded, luggage unpacked and shoes put in order. Room 217 anchors the tradition, while guided tours introduce a hotel whose history also helped inspire The Shining.
Manitou Springs, Colorado · Hotel
A contributor's account published by Haunted Places associates the Avenue Hotel with three child spirits and a coachman from the area's mining-era past. The limited story is retained as the property's paranormal reputation without inventing details.
Fort Collins, Colorado · Other
Haunted Places links Avery House with spirits thought to be members of the Avery family. A child's presence is associated with an upstairs middle bedroom, while other stories concern the pantry and parlor. The entry offers a family-house haunting tradition without securely identifying the figures or documenting individual encounters.
Ouray, Colorado · Hotel
Haunted Places recounts a Beaumont Hotel legend about a woman who appears at a particular nighttime hour and is said to be searching for her husband. Another version describes a scene replaying on an anniversary, with only the woman visible.
Boulder, Colorado · Theater
According to Haunted Places, Boulder Theater's resident ghost is called George Paper and is identified in local retellings as a former manager. Witness stories describe a passing figure, lights switching, faucets running and restroom doors opening.
Manitou Springs, Colorado · Other
Haunted Places collects Briarhurst Manor accounts of vases and cutlery moving unexpectedly, children seen running or playing with a ball, and a bedroom motion detector activating without an obvious cause. One tale describes small boot-shaped marks leading toward a former children's room. The claims form one estate-level haunting tradition.
Evergreen, Colorado · Hotel
Haunted Places recounts several Brook Forest Inn legends, including a chambermaid called Jessica and a stable hand said to haunt the upper floor. It also describes a child's running footsteps on the third floor and sudden cold air on the stairs. The violent backstories attached to named spirits are uncorroborated folklore, not established biographical facts.
Castle Rock, Colorado · Other
Haunted Places reports a spirit called Victoria at the historic building used by the Castle Rock Chamber of Commerce. Its contributor describes staff hearing unexplained snoring and other noises while working late, alongside stories of interference with telephones. The source identifies the property as a former residence, but does not establish Victoria's identity.
Central City, Colorado · Other
A Haunted Places contributor links Central City Opera House to a former doorman, an actor and a longtime female patron. Staff stories describe unexplained cigar and alcohol smells when rooms appeared empty, alongside objects behaving unexpectedly. The figures' supposed identities are part of theater folklore rather than verified biographies.
Denver, Colorado · Other
Haunted Places links Cheesman Park's purported restless spirits to its former cemetery use. In the account, disturbed burials and bodies left behind during conversion of the grounds explain why figures or presences are thought to remain. The story focuses on the burial ground as a whole rather than an identified individual ghost. The profile distinguishes the site's ghost tradition from proof of paranormal activity.
Cripple Creek, Colorado · Hotel
Haunted Places links the Colorado Grande to Maggie, a woman in older clothing accompanied by a rose scent. She is said to appear near the slot machines, sometimes with a male figure, or as a blue glow. A second local tale concerns a child called Lily and purple balloons near Bennett Avenue. Both stories belong to this single hotel-casino profile and remain attributed folklore.
Colorado Springs, Colorado · Other
Haunted Places says security personnel at the Colorado Springs Pioneers Museum have described an unsettling presence in part of the former courthouse building. It attributes the presence to a story about a manager killed by an employee. That historical accusation has not been checked independently and is retained only as the source's explanation. The museum's haunting reputation is the supported element, not the alleged identity of a spirit.
Denver, Colorado · Other
Haunted Places recounts the story of Amelia at the Larimer Street premises associated with Josephina's Restaurant and Corridor 44. Reported disturbances include moving chairs, disturbed bottles and a broken restroom mirror. A tragic speakeasy-era family story is offered as an explanation, but is not corroborated here.
Creede, Colorado · Theater
A contributor to Haunted Places says Creede Repertory Theatre staff heard unexplained footsteps overhead while working late. The third floor is the focus of the report. Other accounts describe a sensed presence in the old theater, without a definite appearance or identity.
Denver, Colorado · Hotel
Haunted Places recounts Croke-Patterson Mansion stories of voices, footsteps, knocking and an infant's cry. Renovation-era accounts also describe office equipment operating without an apparent user. Some witnesses interpret apparitions as members of the Patterson family. The mansion and Patterson Inn are the same building, with the legend continuing across changes in use.
Leadville, Colorado · Hotel
A contributor to Haunted Places connects the Delaware Hotel with a woman called Mary Coffey and reports a female figure repeatedly seen inside. The account also mentions a decorator encountering unexplained cold areas during restoration. It relates a nineteenth-century shooting story as the supposed origin of the haunting, but that biographical claim is not independently verified in this batch.
Denver, Colorado · Other
A contributor to Haunted Places describes heavy footsteps on the Denver Press Club's second floor, rearranged silverware and an unsettling basement presence. Diners have also reportedly seen a translucent figure dressed in a police-style cloak. The account does not give that figure a securely established name or identity.
Denver, Colorado · Other
A Haunted Places contributor describes a military-looking presence at a Denver Union Station platform, interpreted as someone still awaiting a train. Older stories also concern a confused shadowy figure and a suddenly appearing man recognizable by a hand detail. The source says some of these apparitions had not been reported recently.
Longmont, Colorado · Other
Haunted Places lists sightings of apparitions and reports of paranormal activity at Dickens Tavern in Longmont. Its main entry supplies little detail about who was seen or when, so no named ghost, tragedy or specific historical explanation is attached here. This is a modest community-report profile, useful as a place-level lead rather than a developed historical ghost story.
Estes Park, Colorado · Hotel
Haunted Places describes the Elkhorn Lodge and Guest Ranch as a property with longstanding ghost stories connected to its ranching past. The entry mentions tours but supplies few specific encounters or securely identified spirits.
Fairplay, Colorado · Hotel
Haunted Places describes Julia as the Fairplay Valiton Hotel's resident spirit. Visitors supposedly encounter her in a guest room, the kitchen and an upstairs passage. Other reports mention distant music and rhythmic floorboard noises interpreted as dancing.
La Veta, Colorado · Other
Haunted Places records a floating woman in white at Francisco Fort Museum, along with a figure carrying a candle. Other reports concern unexplained piano music, changing lights and a chair that rocks without a visible occupant. These are museum legends, not verified demonstrations.
Black Hawk, Colorado · Hotel
Haunted Places records reports of a female apparition on the Gilpin Hotel Casino's second floor. Local retellings call her Lucille and tie her presence to the death of a partner in a mining accident. This batch does not corroborate the biographical account and presents it as folklore only.
Colorado Springs, Colorado · Other
Haunted Places publishes a contributor's Gold Camp Road experiences, including a figure near a tunnel entrance, voices and handprints found on a vehicle. The same account repeats a school-bus disaster legend without supplying historical evidence. This profile labels that story as unverified and does not reproduce dangerous driving rituals or claims about sinister groups.
