Ghosts of Boulder
Stories and photos that reveal the paranormal history of this Colorado city . . . Founded in 1859 and situated at the base of the Rocky Mountains, Boulder is small in size but harbors a big-city feel—and its rich past hides plenty of hair-raising lore. A home in the Newlands is said to be haunted by a previous owner who was displeased with remodeling done on his longtime abode, while a small Victorian on Pearl Street has been plagued by strange events for over a century.

Haunting Experiences
Ghosts and other supernatural phenomena are widely represented throughout modern culture.

In Haunting Experiences, three well-known folklorists seek to broaden the discussion of ghost lore by examining it from a variety of angle...
Making Rocky Mountain National Park
On September 4, 1915, hundreds of people gathered in Estes Park, Colorado, to celebrate the creation of Rocky Mountain National Park. This new nature preserve held the promise of peace, solitude, and rapture that many city dwellers craved. As Jerry Frank demonstrates, however, the park is much more than a lovely place. Rocky Mountain National Park was a keystone in broader efforts to create the National Park Service, and its history tells us a great deal about Colorado, tourism, and ecology in the American West. To Frank, the tensions between tourism and ecology have played out across a natural stage that is anything but passive. At nearly every turn the National Park Service found itself fa...

No. 1
Impeccably researched and meticulously written, Ann Alexander Leggett and Jordan Alexander Leggett continue to elevate the genre with their investigations into one of Denver's oldest-and most intriguing-landmarks: Fire Station 1. A must-read for aficionados of both history and the supernatural alike, this book covers the history of the station, profiles of some of the brave men who lived at Station 1 and fought Denver's fires, and the spirits which now reside within its walls. It was 1909 when Station 1 was built at 1326 Tremont Place, in Denver. For sixty-six years, until it was decommissioned in 1975, it was occupied by many of Denver's bravest firefighters. It's now the Denver Firefighters Museum-dedicated to the history of the Denver Fire Department-and packed to the gills with apparatus, equipment and displays of days past. The history comes alive here in more ways than one; you can feel it as soon as you walk through the original front doors. Tales of hauntings, interwoven with the history, are common knowledge. What spirits haunt Station 1? You are about to find out.
