Denver, Colorado, renowned for its vibrant cultural scene and historic significance, was founded during the Pikes Peak Gold Rush of 1858-59. What began as a bustling mining outpost quickly evolved into a major hub of industry and transportation. With its location nestled between the Rocky Mountains and the Great Plains, Denver emerged as a key player in the development of the American West. Overcoming early challenges like harsh weather and frequent fires, the city flourished, becoming a central point for agriculture, mining, and technology.
Tour Highlights
Yet beneath its progressive facade lies a darker, more mysterious side. Our tour will guide you through some of Denver’s most haunted and historically significant locations, starting with the grand Capitol Building. Constructed in the 1890s, this majestic structure is rumored to be haunted by the spirits of workers who perished during its construction. Visitors often report sudden cold drafts, unexplained noises, and shadowy figures roaming its hallowed halls, adding an air of eerie intrigue to this architectural marvel.
Next, we’ll visit the Acacia Apartments, Denver’s oldest residential building, dating back to 1901. This historic site has a reputation for ghostly encounters, including the notorious “Man in the Closet.” This spectral figure is said to haunt the second floor, where tenants have reported unsettling experiences such as doors opening and closing on their own and eerie creaks echoing through the night. The chilling tales of this apparition make the Acacia Apartments a focal point of Denver’s haunted history.
Our journey continues to the Molly Brown House, the former residence of the “Unsinkable” Molly Brown, a Titanic survivor and socialite. Now a museum, the house is also a hotspot for paranormal activity. Visitors and ghost hunters alike have reported sensing Molly Brown’s enduring presence, along with other elusive spirits. Disembodied voices, sudden drops in temperature, and flickering lights all contribute to the house’s unsettling atmosphere, adding to its rich and haunted legacy.
Finally, we’ll explore the Dunning Benedict House, a stunning Victorian mansion known for its eerie ambiance. This historic residence has been the site of numerous unexplained phenomena, including ghostly apparitions and the sound of phantom footsteps. Locals speak of a resident spirit—possibly a former inhabitant—whose presence continues to linger in the mansion’s ornate corridors, making it one of Denver’s most intriguing haunted landmarks.
