Ghost  Tour Overview

Q: What is the Denver haunted bus tour?

The Denver haunted bus tour is a guided ghost tour experience conducted entirely in a climate-controlled 14-passenger shuttle bus, led by a local expert guide through Denver's most historically haunted neighbourhood — Capitol Hill and Cheesman Park. Unlike walking ghost tours, the bus format means your group stays comfortable throughout the entire experience, with your guide sharing stories inside the bus at each haunted location. The tour visits Cheesman Park, a public park built on top of an 1858 cemetery where thousands of remains were never removed, the Molly Brown House, widely regarded as the most haunted property in Colorado, and the Capitol Hill mansions that served as the real-life inspiration for two Hollywood horror classics, The Changeling (1980) and Poltergeist (1982). Public tours run July-September on Fridays and Saturdays and in October, Thursday through Sunday with a maximum of 14 guests. Private haunted bus tours of Denver are available year-round by email inquiry at info@discoverdenvertours.com.

Q: When does the Denver haunted bus tour run?

Public Denver haunted bus tours run July-September on Fridays and Saturdays and Thursday through Sunday in October — Denver's peak ghost tour season — departing from the Denver Public Library Central Branch in downtown Denver. October tours fill quickly, particularly on Friday and Saturday nights and in the week leading up to Halloween, and advance booking is strongly recommended. Private haunted bus tours are available year-round, seven days a week, including all months when public tours are not running. A private haunted bus tour is the only way to experience a guided Denver ghost tour by bus outside of July-October. To book a private haunted bus tour, email info@discoverdenvertours.com with your preferred date and group size and the team will confirm availability within 24 hours. All tours depart from the Denver Public Library Central Branch; just look for your guide in all black.

Q: What haunted sites does the Denver ghost tour visit?

The Denver haunted bus tour visits the most historically documented paranormal sites in Capitol Hill and the surrounding neighbourhood, all accessible by climate-controlled shuttle bus. Cheesman Park is the centerpiece of the tour — originally established as Mount Prospect Cemetery in 1858, Denver's first public burial ground, where thousands of remains were never removed when the city converted the cemetery into a park in the 1890s. The park and surrounding neighbourhood have been investigated by paranormal researchers from across the United States and internationally for over a century. The Molly Brown House on Pennsylvania Street, home of the Unsinkable Molly Brown, survivor of the RMS Titanic, is widely regarded as the most haunted residential property in Colorado, with documented reports of unexplained activity spanning decades. The tour also visits the Capitol Hill mansions that inspired The Changeling (1980), starring George C. Scott, and Poltergeist (1982), two of the most commercially successful horror films ever made, both drawing on real Denver locations and the documented history of Cheesman Park's unremoved cemetery remains. Your guide covers the true history, documented paranormal investigations, and the Hollywood connections at each stop and sight throughout the tour.
