Golden Ghosts
& Ghouls
Scary Stories From the Wild West
The glimmer of gold lured a slew of fortune seekers to the Golden Valley. Precious few struck it rich. Most skedaddled with empty pockets. Some...well, they're still here, as the good Lord would have it!
Nowadays, the specters of Golden still echo through the veins of the mines and ramble along the streets, hunting for a place to hang their spectral hats...if you've got the grit to lend an ear. Saddle up with us for a moonlit journey of spine-tingling tales as we wander the historic trails of Golden, Colorado, on the prowl for those stubborn spirits who reckon it ain't time for their final roundup just yet.

The Details
This all-ages ghost tour is geared toward our younger audiences. There were some pretty dastardly deeds that lead to some pretty restless ghosts, but we’ll make sure we keep the stories accessible to spirit-seekers young and old.
Parking
This here adventure don't loop back to its starting point, and hitchin' your wagon at Goosetown Station is tighter than a new pair of boots (very limited parking), plus they'll have shut the stable doors and killed the candles by the time we're through. We suggest finding a spot for your steed in the corrals of Downtown Golden or in Miner’s Alley, just a stone's throw from the old Astor House. Our ghostly journey will wind down in Miner’s Alley, near the crossroads of 12th Street and Washington Ave.
