In 1906 it was the Great Western Sugar Company, but now the historic building houses offices. The second floor is rumored to be a hot spot for ghostly activity. Witnesses have described hovering orbs of light that move through the second-story halls. Some folks suspect that malevolent spirits may reside in the building’s basement vault.
Sugar Building
Town Hall Arts Center
Town Hall Arts Center from the 1920s used to house city offices and a jail, and now, apparently, it houses some ghosts. Furniture is often moved or rearranged, and witnesses have heard disembodied laughter and unexplained music that goes on long after dark.
Oxford Hotel
The 1891 Oxford Hotel is now Art Deco style, thanks to a 1930s remodel. The old hotel has a few ghosts, according to reports. One apparition of a man in a postal worker uniform from many years ago sat down at the bar and ordered a beer. He was seen drinking it, but when he left, the bartender found it still full. He is thought to be the spirit of a postal worker who disappeared and was found dead with all his packages in the spring. Another ghost appears in Room 320, a young woman was killed by her husband when he caught her in the room with another man.
Corridor 44 - Josephina's Restaurant
The former Josephina’s Restaurant, now Corridor 44, was a speakeasy in Prohibition times. Now, a ghost named Amelia, wife of the speakeasy’s owner, is said to haunt the building. Witnesses say liquor bottles upend, chairs move, and a restroom mirror breaks. A hitman the owner had hired to take out their daughter’s boyfriend accidentally got the daughter too, and folks say that’s why her mother’s spirit is uneasy.
Denver International Airport
Some folks say the technical problems experienced by the Denver International Airport–and the strange things that happen to its employees and travelers–occurred because the airport was built atop a Native American burial ground.
Red Rocks Amphitheater
The famous Red Rocks Amphitheater in the Rocky Mountain Foothills is a popular concert venue that’s rumored to be haunted by a couple of ghosts. One is a bearded man holding a bottle, believed to be a miner. He shows for a moment and then disappears. The other is a headless woman riding horseback through the night with a bloody hatchet. She is said to protect the area against mischief makers.
Mushroom Monday
Mushroom Monday is a shop that is believed to be haunted by the spirit of an elderly man. His apparition, seen by customers and staff alike, lingers near a small fountain. Interestingly, the friendly ghost appears from the shins up, as if his ankles and feet are resting on a surface beneath the floor.
Littleton Cemetery
Littleton Cemetery’s eerie story is about alleged cannibal Alfred Packer, who is buried here. But it’s not Packer’s ghost, it’s his goat who haunts the graveyard. Angelica the Goat, alleged to have been Packer’s spirit medium, is believed to linger in spirit here among the graves.
Empire Restaurant - Pasquinis
Formerly Pasquini’s, a pizzeria, the Empire Restaurant now occupies the building. The building is rumored to be haunted by a young woman who was shot to death while trying to break up a fight here during the turn of the century, when it was a gambling hall. Witnesses say they can feel her ghostly presence along with temperature anomalies and light bulbs that inexplicably vanish.
The Brittany Hill
The former Brittany Hill restaurant, now Crystal Rose (a venue for special events), is rumored to be haunted. Witnesses say an embracing ghostly couple can be seen in the tower window. Legend has it that the mansion’s former owner was unfaithful to his wife, and as a result, she jumped to her death from the tower. Distraught, the man then hanged himself in the same tower. Now made up, the ghostly couple apparently resides there for eternity.
