What you can expect

Dive into Denver's spookiest stories and unexplained events on this ghoulish ghost tour of Capitol Hill. Set off on foot to discover the most haunted locations in the district, hearing spine-chilling tales of angry apparitions, appalling accidents, and the mansion that inspired a real-life horror film.

With your local guide leading the way, head off toward your first destination, the former site of the infamous Henry Treat Rogers Mansion. As you stand on the dimly lit sidewalk, learn about the horrifying haunting that inspired the 1980 horror film The Changeling and the iconic scene of the red ball bouncing down the stairs.

Continue further into Capitol Hill toward the Patterson Inn. As you gaze up at the looming façade of the Victorian mansion-turned-hotel, hear the hair-raising stories that have earned the spot a place among America's most haunted homes. If you listen closely, you may even be able to hear the sounds of growling from deceased dogs or typewriters working on their own.

From here, head around the corner to the Peabody-Whitehead Mansion, where the body of a murdered girl is said to be buried in the basement. Stay close to your guide as you travel to the Molly Brown House, a museum boasting frequent claims of activity thanks to the ghosts of its 19th-century owners. Finally, make one last stop outside the haunted halls of Morey Middle School before treading lightly into the streets on your own.
