Welcome To Colorado Springs Ghost Tours
Colorado Springs was once the economic center of a boom that led many men to madness in the mines and their loved ones still waiting behind. Meet the residents of Colorado Springs who are left looking for a hint of the life they were promised on a hair-raising adventure through the rocky expanses of eternity.
Bloody Justice On The Mountainside
Colorado Springs has a reputation as a Wild West town where violent acts are met with swift retribution. Since Charlie Everhart, George Robbins, and Franklin Robbins were killed by raiders in 1868, rivers of blood have run through the mountain town. Learn about the events at The Pioneers Museum in 1959, one of many in the long line of vindictive skirmishes. What was left behind was an unnatural world filled with sinister specters and ill intentions. Â
Discover the twisted details of a murder that shook Colorado between one disgruntled worker and his stingy boss. Both were janitors at the El Paso County Courthouse, now the Pioneers Museum and had a strong distaste for each other. This bitter feud would end with Butler earning himself eight years of hard labor and Butler six feet under.Â
Hear about the noises and shadows that have left even the museum’s bravest security guards shivering at night. Many doors, including the elevator, open on their own. Is Beals still looking for revenge in the afterlife, and who is the woman who has been seen in the building with him? Find out these answers and more on a walking ghost tour with Colorado Springs Ghost Tours.
What Will I See?
Visit Colorado Springs’s Most Haunted Locations, Including:
- The Rabbit Hole – Beer bottles suddenly fall from shelves, and objects fly across the room in this gothic Alice In Wonderland restaurant and bar that once served as a morgue. Now, “The Pit,” a back bar where bodies were once stored before heading down to the basement, is an area that is serving strong drinks with a side of orbs and apparitions.Â
- The Antlers Hotel – The hotel where “America the Beautiful” was written, The Antlers Hotel holds less-than-beautiful secrets. Many guests report waking up to the feeling of someone watching them over their bed. Could this be connected to the mysterious murder of Judge Baldwin? Or could it be the young girl who took her own life in the 1970s?
- Colorado Springs Independent – When this former church building is empty, Ghastly voices can be heard talking and chattering. When the Colorado Springs Independent moved into the 1917 building, it inherited more than just a story! Hauntings range from strange voices to apparitions of former church members walking and going about their business.Â
Shells of The Old Colorado Springs
Follow Colorado Springs Ghost Tours to the Wyndham Hotel, a modern mark on the historic face of the city and once the finest hotel in all of Colorado, The Antlers Hotel. Behind its gray exterior are lively spirits reliving their wild pasts.
The Antlers have a fiery story to tell along with its prestigious history, hosting such luminaries as Theodore Roosevelt, William Harding, and Howard Taft. Burned down in a fire and rebuilt with greater glory than before, the hotel has become a permanent home for many forlorn souls. Judge Baldown, of whom the bar was once named after, is still hanging out at his favorite watering hole– a fitting end for a man who was found murdered at the bottom of a well.Â
Colorado Springs Ghost Tours break down all the most heinous tales around town, including those surrounding this once glamorous hotel. One woman took her own life here, while another fell from a beam during renovations. Their restless souls now wander the hallways of the hotel’s skeleton, searching for peace.  Â
What’s Left Of The Millionaire City
Symbols of Colorado Springs’s glory days rise tall like the summits of Pike’s Peak and the surrounding mountains. Wander the jagged peaks of the town’s haunted history with Colorado Springs Ghost Tours at iconic locations like the Mining Exchange Building, a former stock exchange for Colorado’s most successful miners.Â
None of them was more successful than the carpenter-turned-millionaire Winfield Scott Stratton. His success was so great that he hated the life he had created for himself. That may be why many have felt his presence within the Mining Exchange Hotel. Shadow figures have been seen in the building far before it was a hotel. Many believe it is Mr. Stratton, stuck in the torment of a man driven to madness with too much wealth.Â
Learn about the strange papers found in the basement that many think attracted Stratton’s spirit back to his financial tomb. Prepare to uncover the abject horrors of The City of Millionaires on a haunted Colorado Springs ghost tour.Â
Why is Colorado Springs so Haunted?
Little London’s Tower of Terrors
Colorado Springs’s charm earned it the endearing nickname “Little London,” a moniker that hides its horrid, haunted history too well. Journey to the haunted Colorado Springs Independent building to uncover the breaking story of what makes Colorado Springs so haunted. The former church turned newspaper hub for the Colorado Springs Independent has many tales to report.Â
The Hole In The Ground Church, once merely a basement with a large tarp over it, stood here for nearly fifty years before falling into the hands of the Colorado Springs Police Department. The energies of this ramshackle church’s many members are still felt by the daring few who wander past this relic from Little London’s past.Â
Walk past this center of information, and you may just catch a glimpse of the former pastor, who is often reading a book on the main floor. He is joined by others, some of whom are more unruly than their pious friends. An angry man has been heard shouting as he walks between the basement and the former parsonage. What is his story? Find out the details and much more on a Colorado Springs haunted walking ghost tour.
Don’t Stay For The Credits
What do David Lynch’s hit series “Twin Peaks” and Colorado Springs have in common? These two worlds collide weirdly and wonderfully at the haunted Kimball’s Peak Three Theater. Experience the odd and mysterious form of entertainment only found in the Rocky Mountains on a ghost tour with Colorado Springs Ghost Tours. This theatre stays on brand with the twisted and mysterious world Lynch created through its many hauntings.Â
As if out of one of the noir films that inspired Lynch, confused onlookers in the 1937 theater smelled whisps of a perfume only found in the 1930s. Whispers in this arousing wind have disrupted many attending guests’ theater experience, but when they turned around, no one was there.Â
Who is responsible for these phantoms’ sounds and smells? Many think they are the former patrons of this beloved theater or one poor projectionist who is believed to be stuck here for eternity. Theater workers often see an eerie glow from the booth long after the movies are done. Bridge the gap between the surreal and reality with Colorado Springs Ghost Tours.
Colorado Springs’s Most Haunted
Colorado Springs’s most haunted places are abundant and easy to find if you dare to take the adventure outward and into the unknown. The Evergreen Cemetery is older than the city itself and harbors many spectral secrets churning in its old chapel. It’s a well-known haunted place in Colorado Springs, being featured on the Biography Channel’s My Ghost Story. But, the eerie and ghastly world of Colorado Springs stretches much further away than the city limits can contain.
Cheyenne Canyon is home to The Devil’s Horns and the chilling Native story of Manitou, who violently threw himself into the canyon. The canyon later became an area for criminals to be laid to rest along this mighty devil. Their spirits now dance under the moonlight of the Colorado night in unison. But they are far from alone in the wilderness surrounding Colorado Springs.
One of the most visited tourist attractions in the area, the Garden of the Gods, is prone to doom and disaster. Many visitors report unexplained car troubles hindering their trip and even feel an unseen person in the car with them. Things don’t fare much better for visitors to the Gold Camp roads and tunnels. Here, they are met by the ghosts of gold miners who lost their lives in the tunnels. Even more strange are the sounds of children’s laughter often heard here late at night.Â
