Colorado is known for its towering Rocky Mountains, crystal rivers, and endless adventure—but hidden beneath that beauty is a darker truth. Scattered across the state are towns born from greed, gold, and desperation. When the mining booms collapsed, many people left. Others, according to legend, never did.

In this documentary, we explore 15 of the most haunted towns in Colorado, places where tragedy, violence, isolation, and environmental disaster left lasting scars. These are not just abandoned locations. They are towns where history feels unfinished—where old buildings, empty streets, and mountain silence still carry echoes of the past.

We begin in St. Elmo, one of America’s best-preserved ghost towns, where visitors claim to encounter the armed spirit of “Dirty Annie.” From there, we move to Independence, a settlement destroyed by a brutal winter, where recorded voices still echo through empty cabins.

Some horrors were created by violence, like Tincup, once known as the most lawless town in the state. Others came from poison, as seen in Gilman, a town abandoned due to toxic contamination. Even places that survived—like Central City and Cripple Creek—are said to host spirits beneath their modern casinos.

We also uncover forgotten tragedies in Dearfield, isolation-driven fear in Animas Forks, and eerie silence in places like Ashcroft and Teller City.

These towns are more than ghost stories. They are warnings—proof that the promise of wealth can end in abandonment, sorrow, and unrest.
