Most Haunted Places In Boulder, Colorado To Visit

Following are the most haunted places in Boulder, Colorado, where history and hauntings are entwined beneath the shadow of moss-draped oaks. These ghostly locations, steeped in voodoo, pirates, and tragedy, are said to echo with whispers from beyond, stirring in the humid night air.

Boulder High School

: "Theatre - while seated in the house after a late rehearsal back in the late 1980''s, a witness heard loud footsteps on stage and rumbling and crashing above in the catwalks in the proscenium arch. Others have said they would get a feeling of dread in the tunnel, which connected the dressing rooms under stage to the school lobby. There is a labyrinth of tunnels rumored to be between the high school and the University of Colorado up the street; this was one of them evidently."


Cockerell Hall

: "Third floor ghost with dark brown hair and a long white nightgown. Often seen by the attic door and in the bathroom."


College Inn

: "The College Inn is a building circa 1970, which is currently used as a conference center/hotel, though in recent years it has also served as a dormitory. Haunted by at least one entity of unknown origin. The building director of eight years knows of no death in the building during his time here. The activity centers on the third floor, particularly the south side of the building. Phenomena range from rummaging sounds coming from bathrooms, elevator doors opening and closing when people walk by, smoke-like apparitions, reddish stains appearing on walls and voices that have been heard by nearly every staff member. There is a globe style lamp in the hallway that leads to the bathroom in every unit of the hotel. One night in July of 1999 every single one fell to the floor while the hotel was between conferences and vacant, it took two days to put them back up."


Fairview High School

: "Auditorium - In 1982, a senior hung himself in one of the dressing rooms. Since then, students have reported hearing singing from the dark areas offstage, stage lights flickering and flats falling completely over, even though they were completely nailed down to the floor."


Hotel Boulderodo

: "a lady and her baby often haunt the hotel Patrons have seen her."


Howe Mortuary

: "In the basement where the old records are kept, there is a very cold spot as you enter. There is a very uneasy feeling that makes you have goose bumps. The extra storage area in the basement also has cold spots. On the ground floor there have been many sightings of people just standing in the lobby where there was no viewing scheduled. At night several times a month, the motion detectors and security alarms go off for no apparent reason. They say that the main spirit is Mr. Howe the original owner but several spirits are also said to haunt the basement. - June 2008 update: the property has been sold to a developer. There are condos or some type of residences being built there."


Macky Auditorium

: "In the early 1960''s a young woman was raped and murdered by the janitor while practicing opera alone in a room. Allegedly her ghost roams the hallways of the Auditorium and sometimes late at night you can hear an organ coming from the building even though nobody is there. Numerous local media document this. So no one hears opera late at night. However, bloodstains remain on the floor, which is now a professor''s office."


University of Colorado

: "Macky Auditorium - There is reputedly a brown-clad man who haunts one of the building''s towers. He seems to be harmless, but there is a bit of local legend connecting him with some documented murders in the building."
