More Hauntings for your enjoyment..........	Permalink

Good Mornin! Today I bring to you the state of Colorado, and a place called "DENVER". Have fun guys, hope you all have a great weekend. Denver - Cheeseman Park - Cheeseman park was the cemetery for Denver and there are graves left in the park. There are more than just graves. During that time period the care of graves was terrible. If someone did not have a grave they may have been thrown in another with someone else or just left lying until a mass burial grave was dug. Also if someone were buried in a grave that belonged to someone else they would just take the person in there out and leave them. If you go around the time the grass should turn green you can see the graves. This is because the grass over the graves turns green first. Also you can see sunken spots from the graves. Denver - Denver Children's Home - In the late 1880s, Denver Children's Home located on Albion Street and Colfax Avenue in Denver, Colorado provided lodgings to orphaned children. A fire in 1888 (then known as the Denver Orphan's Home) killed several children in the attic/third floor. Today, DCH is still providing youth services, counseling, and housing to youth. Apparitions of children playing and ethereal voices of crying and whimpering are regular phenomena. Also, an apparition of a female in a wedding gown is regularly seen floating down the third floor steps and across the 50 ft. length of the second floor hallway. The FIFTH exorcism occurred in 1999, but still certain paranormal oddities remain. Denver - Denver County - Red Rocks Amphitheater - Apparitions of an old man was standing on the "restricted" side of the railings. He looks to be an old miner. He was about 5'5, white, beard, dirty brownish hat with a bottle in his hand. He appears for just a few seconds then disappears. Denver - Denver International Airport - Several problems were encountered while building the airport. This is reportedly due to the fact that the airport was built on top of sacred Native American ground. Some employees and visitors have reported hearing or seeing strange things. Denver - Denver Public Library - According to some employees, there is a ghost in the basement of the library who shoves people hard when they are walking through. According to one employee, a security guard quit because they were frightened so badly while patrolling the basement at night. Now the security guards patrol it in groups of two. Denver - Dora Moore K-8 - Many have seen a ghost at Dora Moore K-8 school. She is most often seen walking along the large wooden staircase that connects the first and second floors, but some have seen her in the third floor auditorium. She's seen at night or during days when it's so dark outside you could mistake it for night. She wears a longish dress (ankle length, but doesn't touch the floor) and her hair is twisted into a bun. She walks quietly, not making any noise at all. Denver - George Washington High School - The ghost of an old heavy bald man is seen on the football field. He will show up in the middle of the day and then just disappear into thin air. Some say he is the ghost of an old football coach. Denver - Josephina's Restaurant - Larimer Square- Haunted by a female regular whose daughter from the prohibition era (the restaurant used to be a speak-easy) earlier in the century. The mirror in the women's bathroom has broken one-too-many times to be a coincidence as well as other freaky things (i.e. Whiskey bottles turning over by themselves, chair scooting from one end of the dining room to the other, etc.) Denver - Molkerei - Formerly a tuberculosis clinic in the heart of east Denver back in the late 1880's. It was closed down as a clinic and Remained open as an asylum between 1902 and 1906. It was believed the unethical practices of early psychology led to the untimely death of the residents. Many sightings have been reported of things such as lights within the house flickering on and off repeatedly; visions of people walking around inside a seemingly abandoned house and one instance of a male leaving the house wearing a white surgeon's mask and walking around the surrounding park. It is also believed that there was formerly a network of tunnels underground that area leading to the nearby castle of Barron Von Ricthofen himself. The house has been recently remodeled but strange instances still occur within the surrounding park and neighborhood. Denver - Molly Brown House - The infamous house of Margaret Brown is haunted, although by who has not yet been determined. An investigator found cold spots throughout the house, the scent of pipe tobacco when no one was smoking, & doors that had "a mind of their own". Apparitions also seen. The house is now a tourist attraction. Denver - Monk monastery on hill - Reports of an apparition of a monk walking on the road Denver - North Denver - Lumber Baron Inn - June 2005 Correction: previously listed in Boulder- In the 1970's this house was converted into apartments. A young run away girl, 17 years old, lived in one apartment. She was raped and murdered one night. A friend of hers stumbled upon the murder and was also killed. The house is now a bed and breakfast. There have been several haunting incidences, including a sighting of a girl in a flapper dress. Footsteps have been heard and seen on the squeaky steps. www.lumberbaron.com Denver - State Capitol Buildings - Many security guards see a woman in a long dress. She is seen there often, and in four or five nearby buildings. People report sounds of voices, footsteps, and doors.... Cold spots too. Denver - Tivoli Student Union - Houses the student union for the Auraria Campus combining Community College of Denver, Metropolitan State College and University of Colorado at Denver. Built in 1866 as the original Tivoli Brewery. Large brewing equipment still remains. Converted to student union in 1994. Ever since, voices are often heard through vents on the third floor as though an elegant party is going on, whispers in the bathrooms. Denver - Tramway building - The building has been renovated, and some of the construction crew has seen and heard strange things. One crew heard voices in an office. When they went to inspect the voices in the office they opened the door and there was nobody there. Also, there is a ghost of a mechanic who used to work on railcars in the basement. Legend is that he died in a tragic accident. He is seen walking down corridors carrying a huge tool and then disappearing. Denver - University of Denver - Mary Reed Building It was the Dupont Room, named for a long-gone alumni who left money for the Reed Library. The room was all fixed up, with high-backed leather chairs, glass bookcases, etc. People say the ghost of Mrs. Dupont liked to sit in "her" room and read, and the janitor claimed to have seen her more than once. Denver - University of Denver Lamont School of Music - Dunklee Hall - was located at the intersection of Montview and Quebec (it is moving to the main campus where the also haunted Mary Reed building is located). Legend has it that a student killed herself on the second floor of the dormitory, Dunklee Hall. That floor was used as practice rooms for the music students. There was one particular room (out the elevator, to the right, last door on the right), Is usually standing open. Upon leaving it quietly closes behind you. Denver - VFW Post # 1 (9th & Bannock) - Many employees of the bar at the VFW Post #1 have reported seeing ghostly shapes in the hallway and hearing a loud rapping noise in the furnace room (these are assumed to be the spirits of dead soldiers attached to the artifacts in the VFW's Museum, dating back to the Spanish/American War to current). The most frightening of these occurrences happened after the bar closed one night in 2003. The bar manager (my husband)was alone in the building, cleaning the bar area. He turned on the TV to a hard-rock music channel to help keep him motivated and awake. The TV channel suddenly turned to a non-music channel. The bar manager, not yet frightened, turned the channel back to the music channel. Again, the channel changed to a non-music channel. The bar manager, says out loud "I can get out of here much faster if you let me listen to my music channel". The channel changed back to the music channel and stayed there. __________________
