Haunted Colorado

The Palace Hotel in Cripple Creek Colorado began its life as, The Palace Drug Store. The original Palace Hotel did not survive the fire that happened in 1896 but it was rebuilt soon after the fire occurred. Way back then the stagecoach stopped every day at the Palace Hotel and it unloaded a diverse selection of humanity including some very shady characters. The Palace Hotel is a casino today and its most famous ghost is Kitty Chambers who has been seen often. She always appears with a lighted candle. Candles in the Palace Hotel have been known to light themselves.

People in different parts of the hotel say they feel like something is watching them in the hotel. A very short fat man is seen often and many people don't realize he's a ghost until he vanishes in front of their eyes. Orbs and streaks of light are seen in the hotel often.

The Victor Hotel was built in the late 1880's. At one point in time the upper floors were used to store bodies of people wjo died in the winter because graves could not be dug in the winter in this area. Today the elevator sometimes starts up by its self and even though it has been checked many times it still continues to run by its self.

Screams come from one of the upper floors but no one can ever find out their source. A man was murdered on the 4th floor in a very brutal way and a lot of people say it is him screaming as his legs and arms are cut off.

Footsteps and other odd noises are heard in the hotel often. Orbs often dance through the hotel and have at times scared people right out of the building. And this has happened even in recent times.
