Denver Ghost Tours: The Mile High City's Most Haunted Walking Experience
Denver After Dark Ghost Tour Overview
Most people know Denver for the hikes, the breweries, and the sunshine. Capitol Hill has been quietly keeping much darker secrets...
The Denver After Dark ghost tours take you through the Mile High City's most haunted neighborhood after dark — past a burial ground turned public park, TV-featured mansions investigated by paranormal experts, and the real Denver locations that inspired two classic Hollywood horror films.
Guided by our team of local guides who double asparanormal-enthusiasts and who know this city's darkest secrets, these aren't theatrical ghost walks with jump scares and actors in costume. They're genuinely spine-tingling tours rooted in the Mile High City's real history — the kind that leaves you looking at Denver completely differently.
Since 2015, we've taken over 64,000 guests through Denver's haunted past. We've been called Denver's #1 ghost tour on Google, TripAdvisor, and Yelp — and we think you'll understand why after your first story. Denver likes to put its best face forward, but when you join this tour, you'll see that Capitol Hill is where the city buried everything else...

Why Our Denver Ghost Tours Are Different:
Why Denver After Dark is Denver's #1 Ghost Tour
There's no shortage of ghost tours in Denver. Here's why this tour consistently comes out on top:
🌑Real history. Not fake, over-the-top theatrics | Every story on our Denver After Dark ghost tours is rooted in documented Denver history — court records, newspaper archives, paranormal investigations, and firsthand accounts. You won't find actors jumping out of doorways or fog machines here. What you will find are stories so genuinely strange and well-researched that you'll be Googling them on the walk home.
🌑The only tour that visits these locations | Our route through Capitol Hill includes locations that no other Denver ghost tour visits — including where the Treat-Rogers Mansion once stood (the real site that inspired the Changeling), Cheesman Park (a former graveyard and inspiration behind the film, Potergeist), and Stoiberhof (known for both its black widow and Titanic connections).
🌑Expert local guides, not tour-read scripts | Our guides are passionate, deeply knowledgeable Denver locals who have spent years researching Capitol Hill's paranormal history. They know how to tell a story that gets under your skin but has just the right amount of dark humor — and they're genuinely fun to spend two hours with. Read our hundreds of five-star reviews and you'll notice: the guides are mentioned by name, because our wonderful past guests had a great night out and genuinely connected with them.
🌑 Small groups. Big experience | We cap our ghost tours at 15 guests and we often get to enjoy even smaller groups. That means you'll actually hear every story, have room to ask questions, and get the personal, interactive experience that a group of 50 people overflowing on a street corner simply can't deliver.
🌑 10+ years. 64,000+ guests. Hundreds of five-star reviews | We've been doing this since 2015 and we're greatful to get to share our love of Denver's darker side withy ou. Our track record speaks for itself — and we're proud that so many of our guests come back, bring friends, and call our ghost tours the highlight of their Denver trip or, for our local guests, the highlight of their fall activities.
Denver Ghost Tour FAQs
🕯️Is Capitol Hill really haunted?
Capitol Hill is widely considered the most haunted neighborhood in Denver (and in the entire state of Colorado), and for good reason. Built on and around former burial grounds, the neighborhood's Victorian-era mansions have been investigated by some of the country's leading paranormal researchers. Several have been featured on national television shows including Ghost Adventures and Portals to Hell. The Denver After Dark Tour takes you ot all these sites. Whether you're a true believer or a curious skeptic, the history alone is enough to raise the hair on the back of your neck.
🕯️What makes Denver ghost tours different from other cities?
Denver's ghost tour scene is uniquely rich because Capitol Hill's history is unusually dark — and unusually well-documented. The neighborhood was home to some of Colorado's most powerful and eccentric figures during the gold rush and silver boom eras, many of whom met extraordinary ends. Add a former burial ground, multiple TV-featured paranormal hotspots, and two Hollywood horror film connections, and you have a ghost tour destination that few cities can match.
🕯️Are Denver ghost tours suitable for kids?
Our Denver After Dark Tour is recommended for ages 10 and up. The stories are historically grounded rather than theatrically gory — we focus on atmosphere, mystery, and real history rather than shock value. That said, some stories are genuinely unsettling, so use your judgment based on your child's sensitivity. Youth 16 and under must be accompanied by an adult.
🕯️What should I wear on a Denver ghost tour?
Denver evenings can be surprisingly cold even in summer, and our ghost tours run rain, snow, or shine. Dress in layers, wear comfortable walking shoes, and bring a light rain layer just in case. The tour covers 1.7 flat miles with plenty of stops — it's an easy walk, but you'll want to be comfortable.
🕯️Do Denver ghost tours go inside the haunted mansions?
All of the mansions and residences on our Capitol Hill ghost tour route are privately owned, so no Denver tour operator is able to go inside. What you will get is an up-close exterior experience with the full story of each building — including the documented paranormal activity inside — told by a guide who knows these buildings inside and out.

Natalia R. "Jill was a great tour guide and very knowledgeable about the area and the history of the locations we visited. You could tell she was really passionate and that made the ghost tour even more enjoyable. She talked to everyone and made us feel welcomed. She answered all of our questions and made the tour interactive which was also more enjoyable. Would highly recommend! Thanks for a great tour, Jill!
