Cripple Creek - Fairley Bros. & Lamoman Building - Ghost called maggie walks the floors.

Penrose - Old Glendale Station - ghost wearing a wedding dress appears on the porch.

Colorado Springs - Pioneer's Museum - It is supposedly haunted by a manager who was shot dead by an employee over a pay dispute in 1959 (not sure about the year). The security guards who have to patrol the museum at night try to avoid the guy's former apartment because they feel very uneasy there.

Georgetown - Full Circle Cafe - Cafe was featured on Sightings we have about 15 to 20 Ghosts!!!! The whole town is Haunted!!!

Manitou Springs - Miramont Castle -  is or was haunted by a little boy and his stepfather.  The nuns and/or monks may be there still.  The castle is  and can be found in the local Colorado Springs phone book.

Denver - Denver International Airport - Several problems were encountered while building the airport.  This is reportedly due to the fact that the airport was built on top of sacred Native American ground.  Some employees and visitors have reported hearing or seeing strange things.

Greely - The Ramkota Hotel - The hotel was built where the old Chief Theatre used to exist.   A young woman was killed  in the theatre by her boyfriend.  She was thrown off the balcony.    Sometimes she will  play tricks on people (poltergheist activities) and sometimes she will show herself outright.  Almost everyone who has worked at the Ramkota has seen the  ghost of "Rosy."

Niwot - Niwot High School -   is haunted by a child that was in the basement and was killed by  the janitor.

Greeley-University of Northern Colorado
Edith, the ghost on the third floor of an all girl dorm. She used to be a dorm
mother, but the girls were horrible to her; keeping her up all hours with pranks and what not. The woman was never completely there to begin with so she was driven to suicide, hanging herself in her room. All the girls hear her come in from time to time, she'll change channels on the television, flip lights and move furniture while you sleep.

Fairplay Hotel
Ghost seen singing and dancing in hallways, especially in mid- to late-October.

Lakewood-Union Square 6 Mann Theatre
In 1997 the theatre was haunted by an old man with a bad temper. Employees where teased and tormented, many quit. Even customers noticed him wondering around. Management had to bring a specialist.

Mesa Verde-Balcony House
This area is an ancient ruin of the Anasazi Indians. Several ghosts walking among the ruins.  Very little is known about this specific
ruin.  Just standing inside the ruins one can feel the spirits.

Westminster-Pillar of Fire
Is haunted by the victims of a murder that happened years ago, the hauntings consist of faces being seen in the tower windows ghost mist around in the cemetery

Denver-Cheeseman Park
It used to be a graveyard when they made it a park they were supposed to move 5,000 bodies buried there but they didn't- they left about 2,000 bodies under the park. There are many stories about this. The park was built on top of a cemetery. Its been reported in several of the local newspapers that only the head stones and not the coffins were removed from at least one section many people have seen and felt strange things there.

CENTRAL CITY
Old mining town located near Denver, with many very well-preserved buildings, including a historic opera house/theatre. Central City in Colorado although inhabited by the living was well spoken of for it's vaporous inhabitants (one really can't say deceased when the specter doesn't themselve admit to it). In a certain bar on the main street on the floor there is a lovely painting of a woman, it is carefully maintained by the proprietor. The tale is that it was painted by a distraught miner when his wife died of consumption. He went into the bar and drank himself into a stupor, while stupefied he proceeded to paint his wife’s portrait on the floor. He spoke tenderly of her sweetness almost as an incantation to give it the life she lost so young. He painted long into the night and on to past noon. Once it was complete he slept, he never awoke. They buried him next to her and some say on the anniversary of his death you can hear them talking tenderly to each other through her portrait on the dance floor.

Estes Park-Baldpate Inn
Gordon and Ethel Mace built this charming lodge in 1917, and it stayed in their family until 1986 when the family lost ownership of it. Not to deter Ethel, however, who has haunted her old room for years. She especially likes to sit in a wing-backed rocker before a fireplace in what is now a storage room, her feet up, reading the Bible.  Gordon hates smoking. Few guests are able to keep a cigarette lit for long - something smashes it out or steals the pack! Ethel must be somewhat of a prohibitionist, because mixed drinks seem to spill and fly off tables fairly often.

Leadville-Evergreen Cemetery
Blue lights shoot through the treetops, and a woman in white flies over the tombstones.

Denver-Mary Reed Building
Part of the University of Denver campus. It was the Dupont Room, named for a long-gone alumni who left money for the Reed Library.  The room was all fixed up, with high-backed leather chairs, glass bookcases, etc.    People told me the ghost of Mrs. Dupont liked to sit in "her" room and read, and the janitor claimed to have seen her more than once.

Blackhawk-Rocky Mt 100ft Cemetery-
Known for a lady ghost who, for the past 100 years, 2 times every year visits the same gravesite and leaves flowers. Over the years people have gathered to watch her and try to talk with her but she always disappears over a hill.

Greeley CO- (UNC) Turner Hall-
Haunted by numerous spirits, chiefly, two main spirits that most of the students who reside in it know and have either seen or heard. The first spirit was a former student who threw himself out of the window of the 11th floor. Another is because of a fire that happened in one of the rooms (12th?)and trapped the students there.

Glenwoodsprings-The Hotel Colorado-
There have been many sightings of ghosts there.  It is said that it was used as a local hospital  during WWII.  Many who were wounded died there.

Colorado Springs- Helen Hunt falls in C.S.'s Cheyenne Canyon-
The falls now bear her name.  Her grave is up a little higher in the mountains in a place called Gold Camp Road.  On the average of 5 people die around the Gold Camp area each year.  If you drive through the tunnels there, something freaky ALWAYS happens.  Handprints on the car, voices in the tunnels, etc.

Denver-Josephina's Restaurant-Larimer Square-
Haunted by a female regular whose daughter from the prohibition era (the restaurant used to be a speak-easy) earlier in the century. The mirror in the women's bathroom has broken one-too-many times to be a coincidence as well as other freaky things (i.e. Whiskey bottles turning over by themselves, chair scooting from one end of the dining room to the other, etc.)

Estes Park-The Stanley Hotel-
This huge, eerie hotel built in the early 1900's was a resort for famous celebrities and such. This hotel inspired Stephen King to write "The Shining." Past employees have mentioned hearing footsteps and seeing various apparitions.

Colorado Springs-Gold Camp Road -
The tunnels along the road are haunted by the spirits who built the in the 1800's, the road was originally a railroad from Colorado Springs to cripple creek

Santa Cruz-Adolph's Restaurant -
Several workers complain to co-workers at seeing ghosts in the restaurants. One even attempted to contact a parapsychology institute nearby but nothing came of it. Although owners refute these claims, one waiter says restaurant hostesses, waiters and bussers have discussed the sightings among themselves. Historians, meanwhile, have said a murder occurred at the site of the restaurant near the turn of the century.

Denver-Tivoli Student Union -
Houses the student union for the Auraria Campus combining Community College of Denver, Metropolitan State College and University of Colorado at Denver. Built in 1866 as the original Tivoli Brewery. Large brewing equipment still remains. Converted to student union in 1994. Ever since, voices are often heard through vents on the third floor as though an elegant party is going on, whispers in the bathrooms.

Highlands Ranch-Daniels Park-
Old 19th century armory on the south face of the hill, below and to the left of the park facilities, a ghost named "Kether" dwells.  She was sacrificed on this spot as punishment for disobedience of her coven whose beliefs were loosely based on worship of the Egyptian god "set".  Often, on a hot summer day, the concrete and stone bunker goes suddenly cold and the spot where her blood spilled becomes damp to the touch.  An apparition has also been seen on the hill nearby.

Estes Park-Stanley Hotel -
The place Stephen King stayed for five months while writing "The Shining" has countless stories of its own. Cooks and bus staff report music coming from a ballroom, that stops when they walk in. Bartenders have seen the ghost of F.O. Stanley stroll through, disappearing when they go to cut him off at the kitchen. Tour guides tell the story of the ghost of a small child seen by many of the staff, and reportedly even by King himself, calling out to his nanny on the second floor near the famed room made famous by the movie and novel.

Empire-The Pratt Hotel-
This Bed and Breakfast was built in the late 19th century and is haunted by the first owner's daughter, Millie Pratt, who fell down the very steep front stairway. She only seems to appear to women. Her room is the one by the top of the stairs. She whispers "mother!" in women’s' ears at night and several have seen her fall down the stairs or lying at the bottom of the staircase.

Fort Collins-Holiday Inn Holidome-
There's a ghost of a man in the top hall of the northwest wing that is an ominous presence. The ghost of a woman looks out over the swimming pool, from one of the rooms, when children are playing, supposedly to watch over them. The main apparition though, is of a little girl who haunts a room across the hall and a bit east of the now unused king suite. She does little poltergeist activities mainly- (guests there often find their key cards missing, etcetera) and she also blasts the air conditioning.

Boulder-Howe Mortuary-
In the basement where the old records are kept, there is a very cold spot as you enter. There is a very uneasy feeling that makes you have goose bumps. The extra storage area in the basement also has cold spots. On the ground floor there have been many sightings of people just standing in the lobby where there was no viewing scheduled. At night several times a month, the motion detectors and security alarms go off for no apparent reason. They say that the main spirit is Mr. Howe the original owner but several spirits are also said to haunt the basement.

Marmount Castle-The Cliff House-Manitou Springs-
A noble couple from Europe came to the valley and met an untimely and gruesome deaths (she cheated on him and he murdered her and committed suicide.) The place is haunted.   Voices (mumbled) and some have seen a white/translucent blur floating through walls. Steps being heard.

Boulder-University of Colorado- Macky Auditorium-
There is reputedly a brown-clad man who haunts one of the building's towers.
He seems to be harmless, but there is a bit of local legend connecting him
with some documented murders in the building.

Glenwood Springs - Hotel Colorado-
Doors open and close by themselves, elevator goes up and down by itself, smell of cigar smoke when no one is smoking in lobby, a little girl in a Victorian dress playing on the staircase, and a murdered chambermaid who appears at night in the Devereux Room.
