Overview

Get off the tourist track, avoid the national chain, big group tours, & get a glimpse into the strange happenings in Denver’s seedy past on this walking tour of Denver's infamous & historic Capitol Hill. The stories that Denver’s ghosts & those long gone have to tell are sure to raise the hairs on your arms & send chills down your spine.

As you set out on foot with your guide and host for the evening, hear a fun blend of legends, lore, history & mystery from the Mile High City’s past, & visit renowned haunted sites where spirits are still said to linger. Experience the spine-chilling feeling as you hear the true stories behind some of the Denver residents believed to haunt the area.

Your guide will lead you to what was once a burial ground, walking through the shadows of Cheesman Park—one of the city’s most haunted locales. Keep your eyes peeled at the site of the demolished Henry Treat Rogers Mansion, the Unsinkable Molly Brown's House & all of the haunted places you'll visit!

The now demolished Henry Treat Rogers Mansion once stood here and you'll kick off you evening hearing about the chilling real-life experiences of Russell Hunter, who went on to write the screenplay for the Hollywood horror classic, the Changeling, based on the paranormal, and sometimes terrifying, activity he experiences while living here.

Cheesman Park

See firsthand the graveyard turned park that inspired a classic Hollywood horror movie and hear the stories of some of the souls still buried here. This tour is the only Denver ghost tour that takes you to Cheesman Park and the only tour that takes you to the location of the demolished Henry Treat Rogers mansion and we think you'll agree: they're both two must-see, can't miss spots for anyone who comes to Denver interested in the seeing and hearing about the Mile high City's darker side.

The haunted Patterson Inn holds many dark secrets, deaths, and demise behind the beautiful façade that was designed to look like a French chateau. The legends and haunts here even brought the Portals to Hell TV crew out to film and capture some of the paranormal. Even better?

Peabody-Whitehead Mansion

The most haunted house in Colorado. Period. We don't even like having our backs to this one. See why the boarded-up, overgrown historic landmark can't keep a tenant. Strong, tough, grown men are known to not be able to make it through a night inside here. This legendary haunts has brought paranormal enthusiasts from all over the world and was featured on The Travel Channel's Ghost Adventures show.

The gorgeous and commanding Dunning Benedict House is a beautiful example of Romanesque Revival architecture, but underneath that beauty lies the death of Walter Cheesman (for whom Cheesman Park was named), unexplainable events, and some mischievous spirits. Architect, William Lang, is famous for being the same architect that designed and built the famed Molly Brown House... our final stop of your Ghosts of Capitol Hill experience.

Dennis Sheedy was a good guy in Denver's history, somewhat of a rarity...but that doesn't mean he escaped Denver's darker side and his grand, historic compound is known for one of the most repeated sightings of Victorian-era woman pleading for help... but who is she? Come along for the ride on this tour and find out, if you dare...
