Preview The Most Haunted Locations In Boulder

Welcome to Boulder Ghosts

From the betrayed Indigenous tribes who felt the pinch of westward expansion to greedy gold miners and ill-fated settlers who traded life and limb for gold, Boulder’s past is a ghostly graveyard of untold stories waiting to be shared with anyone brave enough to listen.

 

No Rest for The Wrongly Accused

 

Long before it became a charismatic red-brick with a variety of funky shops and eateries, the Pearl St. Mall was just a muddy and uninviting stretch of dirt. The entire area may exude charm and character now, but a piece of its history includes the tragic tale of an innocent man wrongfully convicted for a crime he knew nothing about.

Follow Boulder Ghosts to uncover the story of a community gripped by injustice and mob mentality, leaving a permanent scar on the soul of the city. Find out what happened that fateful night and discover how a simple misunderstanding turned into a grave misfortune. Prepare to hear how an innocent horseman’s cries for justice were drowned out by the mob’s thirst for revenge in a cruel twist of fate.

With the ghost of the falsely accused now forever tied to where he suffered injustice and met his tragic fate, you’ll find yourself in the company of a disgruntled spirit who isn’t afraid to march through the living and show his resentment at the world that wronged him. Patrons of the various shops lining Pearl Street have reported strange occurrences—objects moving on their own, whispers carried by the wind, and an unshakeable feeling of being watched. 

 

What Will I See?

 

Visit Boulder’s Most Haunted Locations, Including:

 

  • Arnett-Fullen House – The Arnett-Fullen House, Boulder’s charming “gingerbread house” immortalized in Marlys Millhiser’s twisted time-travel horror novel The Mirror, holds more than just Victorian charm—rumor has it a ghostly little girl still lingers, sending chills down the spines of anyone who dares to get too close. Peer through its windows, but beware, not everything watching you is made of lace and yellow paint!

 

  • Hotel Boulderado – The grandeur of Boulder’s first luxury hotel masks the chilling tales of love, loss, and ghostly mischief. But not even the swankiest décor will stop the spirits of guests who didn’t make it out alive from sharing their ghostly stories under the cover of darkness. Visit Hotel Boulderado tonight and discover the spine-tingling secrets hidden within its walls. 

 

  • Boulder Theater – Experience the ghostly antics of George Paper at Boulder Theater, where the former manager’s love for the stage keeps him lingering in the afterlife. Join us on a thrilling ghost tour to uncover the spooky tales of flickering lights and a top-hatted specter who just can’t resist causing ghostly mischief!

 

Hotel of Horror

 

Built to meet the taste and demand of upscale adventurers and travelers, Hotel Boulderado has existed long enough to witness the city’s rich history, but not all of its stories are pleasant. Boulder Ghosts takes you beyond the hotel’s classic old-world charm and chic decor into the ghostly lore and legends buried deep within its walls. 

Prepare to hear the ghostly tale of a couple whose romantic getaway took a dark turn. Nobody can tell what pushed the husband to the edge, but the heartbroken wife couldn’t bear the weight of the tragedy and chose to follow her beloved into the afterlife instead. With ghostly voices and unexplained events reported in the room where they met their tragic fate, their ghostly specters have been known to mystify and terrify unsuspecting guests and staff alike.

Learn about the fifth floor and uncover the story of a popular music teacher in Boulder who cannot let go of a place she loved so much. Clad in a flowing white gown, Miss “Honey Bee” is said to keep the music alive even in the afterlife. What other horrific secrets transpired within the walls of this historic building, adding to an already spine-chilling atmosphere? Book the chilling Boulder ghost tour to find out!

 

Creepy Curtain Calls

 

Old theaters have long been notorious for being haunted havens, and the historic Boulder Theater is no exception. With its ornate architecture and rich histories, this grand building serves as the backdrop for dramatic artistry and eerie events in downtown Boulder, making it a site of intrigue and ghostly encounters for anyone looking to dig into the city’s dark past. 

Venture with Boulder Ghosts to hear the story of a devoted theater manager whose dedication to his craft became his greatest undoing. His undying passion for the old theater may have followed him to the afterlife, with reports of flickering lights and poltergeist pranks from locals and employees. 

The sudden appearance of a hazy-looking man in a suit and hat has also startled curious patrons, including one who just wanted to enjoy his meal but got an unexpected ghostly surprise instead. Was it a friendly hello from his playful spirit or just a classic ghostly prank? Unravel the mysteries that make Boulder’s historic district come alive when the sun goes down with Boulder Ghosts.

 

Why is Boulder so Haunted?

 

Victorian Charm or Haunted Hideaway?


Venture into the darkest corners of downtown Boulder tonight and experience the eerie vibes and spooky energy around the Arnett-Fullen House. Be ready to unveil the building’s dark past and hear the ghostly echoes of long-forgotten souls who continue to whisper their stories from the great beyond. 

As you walk by, peer towards the front window and see if you can spot the mannequin that adds a delightful twist to the eerie atmosphere. With reports of hair-raising encounters, fogged-up windows, and strange events in and around the building, you’ll uncover real-life encounters that go beyond the playful tricks of the mannequin into the chilling reality of the house’s haunting nature.

Learn about the story of a little girl in white who is known to give a local guest quite a fright. Her actions might be inspired by the heartache of her untimely death and the need to prevent unsuspecting visitors from suffering the same fate, but her icy, cold demeanor is enough to keep the terrified local away from the house forever. This stop promises plenty of thrill and chills, and you’ll feel them all on your next Boulder ghost tour. 

 

Playful Poltergeists

 

Not only does the historic Arnett-Montgomery House share tales of its eclectic gingerbread charm with the Arnett-Fullen House, but it also holds the ghostly secrets of Boulder’s pioneers and early settlers. Boulder Ghosts takes you on a moonlit tour of the most haunted sites in Boulder, where you’ll unravel the stories of the unfortunate souls who met untimely ends.

Visit the sorrowful site where ambitious dreams crumbled and lives were unexpectedly cut short. Discover the story of a young boy known for his playful mischief and childlike innocence. Learn more about the ghostly conversation between a curious new homeowner and the spirit of young Walter, who might just have a few tales of his own to share.

Young Walter’s presence may not be as haunting as the sorrowful wails of the young girl in the other Arnett building, but it sure does add a sprinkle of whimsy for anyone looking to connect with the past. Join Boulder Ghosts to uncover the layers of history that define this spooky spot and hear about the enchanting tales of a little boy who never truly left.

 

Boulder’s Most Haunted

 

The historic district of Boulder is alive with eerie energy, with the ghosts of long-gone pioneers roaming the haunted streets in the dead of night. The haunting melodies and mysterious apparition of a murder victim at Macky Auditorium are only rivaled by the tales of mystery and mischief at the old University of Colorado Boulder – The College Inn. Even the charming Kohler House seems to harbor its fair share of spirits, while the headstones at Columbia Cemetery continue to tell tales from beyond the grave.

Boulder Ghosts ushers you into the haunted realm of this mountain town, where you’ll enjoy an unforgettable journey to the most haunted locations in Boulder, CO, unearthing the chilling tales that linger in the air and exploring the eerie essence of its rich history.
