The Experience

The tour begins at Civic Center Park, where your guide walks you through Denver's city hall history before moving into the stories that define the city's haunted reputation. You'll visit the Molly Brown House, the Victorian home J.J. and Molly Brown bought after the 1893 silver crash, and learn how Molly used her wealth to bridge social classes while the community rallied to preserve the house. From there the route takes you through a series of historic mansions, each with its own layer of history—some with documented hauntings, others with the eerie events that happened at the intersections and streets around them.

The stops include the Patterson Inn and the Whitehead House, where hauntings began almost immediately after the family moved in, plus the Marijuana Mansion Denver with its distinctive late-Victorian architecture. You'll also see the Byers-Evans House, another late Victorian property with its own historical weight. The guide ties together the people who lived in these homes, the events that shaped them, and the unexplained occurrences that keep their stories alive in Denver's collective memory. The whole route covers about 1.5 hours on foot, moving between neighborhoods where the city's wealthiest residents once lived.

The tour works for families with children—strollers are welcome, service animals are allowed, and the pace suits all fitness levels. If your group has 10 or more people, you'll need to contact Ghost City Tours' private and group sales coordinator to arrange the booking. Public transportation stops are nearby if you need to get to Civic Center Park to start.
