Get off the tourist track, avoid the national chain, big group tours, & get a glimpse into the strange happenings in Denver’s seedy past on this walking tour of Denver's infamous & historic Capitol Hill. The stories that Denver’s ghosts & those long gone have to tell are sure to raise the hairs on your arms & send chills down your spine.
As you set out on foot with your guide and host for the evening, hear a fun blend of legends, lore, history & mystery from the Mile High City’s past, & visit renowned haunted sites where spirits are still said to linger. Experience the spine-chilling feeling as you hear the true stories behind some of the Denver residents believed to haunt the area.
Your guide will lead you to what was once a burial ground, walking through the shadows of Cheesman Park—one of the city’s most haunted locales. Keep your eyes peeled at the site of the demolished Henry Treat Rogers Mansion, the Unsinkable Molly Brown's House & all of the haunted places you'll visit!

What To Expect
The now demolished Henry Treat Rogers Mansion once stood here and you'll kick off you evening hearing about the chilling real-life experiences of Russell Hunter, who went on to write the screenplay for the Hollywood horror classic, the Changeling, based on the paranormal, and sometimes terrifying, activity he experiences while living here.
Cheesman Park
See firsthand the graveyard turned park that inspired a classic Hollywood horror movie and hear the stories of some of the souls still buried here. This tour is the only Denver ghost tour that takes you to Cheesman Park and the only tour that takes you to the location of the demolished Henry Treat Rogers mansion and we think you'll agree: they're both two must-see, can't miss spots for anyone who comes to Denver interested in the seeing and hearing about the Mile high City's darker side.

5.00Eileen was the best! The other person on the tour canceled, and Eileen hosted the tour just for me! I learned so much about some dubious Denver history and the tragic current after effects. (I won’t ruin it for you!) I really enjoyed the neighborhood tour. Whether you believe in spirits or not, you will enjoy this tour.
Nice job!

5.00I am a big fan of ghost tours and enjoyed my time with SB learning more about the city I call home, Denver. I could tell SB loves this city as much as I do and is very knowledgable about it's history and the spooky stuff that went down in the mansions in Capital Hill. If you love ghost and Friday nights, I would recommend this tour.
Spooktacular Fun and Surprise!

5.00I'm a fan of walking tours and I greatly enjoyed the ghost tour with Mischa!! She's a great storyteller that nailed all the tour stories to perfection. This was my first tour since 2019 and I was greatly surprised by the experience. This was my first night ghost tour and I loved it! Tour is totally worth it because Mischa knows her stories!

5.00This tour was a perfect way to spend an October evening to get ready for Halloween! I had some friends in town and we all loved the tour. Chloe was a fun and informative tour guide and you could tell she was passionate about Denver’s spooky past! The tour itself was a good length and we learned so much! Highly recommend, especially if you are interested in haunted houses!

5.00This haunted tour was the best one that I did on my trip and I did three while in Denver. Chloe was amazing, her enthusiasm while telling the stories was nothing short but awesome. I only wish it was longer than two hours, cause I could have listened to her and the stories all night long
Excellent tour
