Tales are told of angry spirits, lost souls, and other perturbed paranormals that float just above the hallowed grounds of haunted Denver. Are you brave enough to go on a hunt for a Mile High ghost? Only time will tell…
- Lumber Baron Inn & Gardens
Lumber Baron Inn & Gardens/Facebook For 50 frightening years, guests visiting this historic mansion have reported seeing the ghosts of two teenage girls who were victims of a gruesome rape and murder roving the haunted halls in search of restitution.
- Molly Brown House Museum

- The Brown Palace Hotel

- Cheesman Park
Pedro Cambra/Flickr One of the Mile High City’s most notorious locales to spot a ghost is undoubtedly Cheesman Park, a former cemetery where bodies were grossly mistreated and unsettled spirits roam the grounds searching for their final resting place.
- Littleton Cemetery

- Buffalo Bill Museum and Grave
Buffalo Bill Museum and Grave/Facebook Rumors abound that a man resembling William Frederick “Buffalo Bill” Cody has been seen wandering the hallowed grounds of his museum and gravesite on Lookout Mountain…so be on the lookout!
- The Buckhorn Exchange
The Buckhorn Exchange/Facebook Denver’s oldest steakhouse got its start as a nitty gritty saloon where gamblers, rounders, miners, and gunslingers used to wet their whistles and shake the gold dust off their shoes. According to reports, some of those adventurous spirits still hang in the balance, belly up to the bar, and laugh and guffaw when no one else is around. (P.S. Is it me or does this look like a scene from Taxi!?)
- Red Rocks Amphitheatre
Bryce Edwards/Flickr Red Rocks is yet another historic spot where you can catch a glimpse of ghosts of the Old West. Keep your eyes peeled for a prospector with long flowing beard and hair known to roam those parts.
- Denver International Airport
Bo Insogna/Flickr The swirls of conspiracy theories and paranormal activity at DIA are never ending. Secret Native American burial grounds, the curse of Blucifer the Murderous Mustang, and the government’s elaborate underground bunker are just a few of the haunting tales told.

It’s no wonder that people report hearing mournful noises and seeing deceased military and disgruntled spirits roaming the not-so-sacred grounds.
