Denver After Dark: Ghost Tour of Capitol Hill's Most Haunted Mansions

Two classic Hollywood horror films were inspired by real locations in Denver. On this tour, you'll stand in front of both of them.

The Denver After Dark Tour takes you through Capitol Hill — the most haunted neighborhood in the Mile High City — after the sun goes down. Over 2+ hours, your guide weaves together paranormal legend, documented haunted history, and true stories with just the right mix of spine-tingling atmosphere and sharp humor. It's the kind of night Denver locals and visitors both leave talking about.

What you'll encounter along the route:

• The haunted Cheesman Park — built on a former burial ground, and the real-life inspiration for Poltergeist
• The Croke-Patterson Mansion, as seen on Ghost Adventures and Portals to Hell
• The Peabody-Whitehead Mansion, where paranormal experts have documented decades of unexplained activity
• The site connected to The Changeling — one of the most unsettling horror films ever made
• The Stoiberhof and its link to an unsolved Titanic mystery
• The most haunted home in Colorado: Molly Brown's mansion, where your tour ends

This isn't your standard ghost walk. Every story is rooted in real Denver history — no cheesy theatrics, no jump scares. Just genuinely strange, well-researched stories about the city's most atmospheric neighborhood, told by a guide who knows how to make your skin crawl.
