For example, the Stanley Hotel in Estes Park is notoriously haunted and even inspired Stephen King's book The Shining, Hotel Colorado in Glenwood Springs is said to be home to numerous ghosts, and let's not forget about Cave of the Winds.

Even some places that are known for being a lot of fun like Red Rocks Park and Amphitheatre in Morrison, Pinball Jones in Fort Collins, and The Mesa Theater in Grand Junction are said to be haunted as well.
