Colorado
This used to be an old hospital for the mentally disabled. AKA insane aslyum. It was opened in the early 60's and ran well into the 80's. People have said a guard bunrt down a few buildings (which could have been ture since there is burnt rubble and you can see the basement.) It has been reported that one of the buildings had shook. When I went I senced something very evil. Not all of the buildings felt that way and I don't think it was always evil. The place is now run down and not in use. People there were always drugged, and I have heard from my mom that when it was operating there was this one building (is torn down now) that she remembers very well. It was were people were admitted. She said it was very loud, people screaming and moaning. I have heard that some voices can still be heard.
A great uncle of mine was stabbed in frount of this place it is still there and it is still the same thing it was then. He was in the tavern drinking and when he left a woman stabbed him to death. I have been there and walked infrount of it. I felt something there. I haven't talked to anyone running or working there but I know something was there.
My family has a great history in Arvada and this is the house my grandma grew up in. I haven't heard what has been going on there but many of the people say the house is now haunted. If it is my great grandma there is nothing to worry about. This is a private residence and is at the very end of the road there is a dead end but the house is what you would drive into if you ignored that the road was ending.
When I was there we saw the graves of the old owners of the place that lived there before it was a school. Chances are if you went there in 6th grade you saw it too. They aren't very far off from the campsites. One grave is a man named Rufus and his grave was sunken in when I saw it last. People layed on his grave (Not me!) and we could hear the late 1800 casket cracking. Later that night we went out and looked toward the grave sites and you could see some green glowing objects. Also there was a school opened there called Sylvania of the Rockies in the late 1940's. It was a all girls camp. Rumors are that one of the girls went into town and got some acid (this wasn't rare for the girls to do). She was so high and so scared by the time she retured that she freaked out and fell into the lake. So messed up the girl drowned and that is the rumor of why the all girl's camp was shut down. Many times before the incodent girls were rushed to the hospital for freaking out or doing other drugs and O.D.ing.

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 themselves 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.
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.

Blue lights shoot through the treetops, and a woman in white flies over the tombstones. I went here and if you don't go for the hauntings go because the place is very pretty and there are very old grave stones here some are rater weird. One I saw kinda spooked me it was a Raggety Anne.

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. Also apparitions that have been seen may also be beacuse of the cemetery that is at the park enterance. It is a very old cemetery and it has grave stones going up hill. My great grandparents are burried there.
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.

She does little poltergeist activities mainly- (guests there often find their key cards missing, etcetera) and she also blasts the air conditioning.
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.

Her background is unknown, but others have claimed to see her walking the banks of the Colorado River.

The site of the Sand Creek Massacre is long believed and experienced as a haunted site. On November 29, 1864 over 200 Native Americans (mostly women and children) were brutally massacred by US Col. John Chivington. His forces hunted the people as they tried to escape along the Sand Creek, in many cases, as they tried to take shelter in small sand caves. They were used as target practice, mutilated, and even had body parts amputated before death as trophies. Annually, on the anniversary night of the massacre, campers have reported seeing manifestations of numerous Native women, children, and the occasional warrior, wandering down the Sand Creek bed and banks where they were killed, most appearing only briefly, then dissolving into the creek's soil.

When she caught her breath and looked for her hero, she found no one, but felt something brush her cheek as if being kissed.
