Join American Hauntings in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado as we spend an eerie night at one of the most haunted hotels in the West! Join us for an all-night ghost hunt – which includes your sleeping room – and search for the spirits of a place where guests checked in and never checked out!

Located in the Rockies at more than 10,000 feet above sea level is Victor, Colorado, which gained its infamy from the vast deposits of gold found under and around it. Named for local resident Victor A. Adams, the town was started in 1893 to provide the services needed for those who came to pull the gold out of the ground.

In 1899, though, catastrophe struck Victor when a fire reduced the town to ashes in just five hours. The town was quickly rebuilt from stone and brick – just in time for a smallpox epidemic to arrive in town and kill dozens of the residents. But once again, Victor survived. There was still a lot of gold that needed to be pulled from the ground.

In 1900, the Victor Hotel was built in town. It was a lavish place for the time, catering to the company men who owned the mines, as well as families who arrived in town to provide goods and services for the men who worked underground. The hotel remains today as part of one of the best-preserved ghost towns in Colorado, and it still serves a steady stream of guests – even though many of the former guests have never checked out.

Much of the ghostly activity in the hotel occurs on the fourth floor, which served as a temporary morgue for the town. When cold winters made the ground too hard to bury the dead, the bodies were stored on the fourth floor until the cemetery thawed out. It seems many of those who died in town – usually because of accidents in the mines – have lingered at the place where their remains were stored for a time.

The third floor has its hauntings, too. Apparitions of miners have been seen walking the hallways, looking dirty and worn, even though they seem solid and alive. Many of those who have spotted them say they assume the town is hosting a historical re-enactment of some kind until the hotel staff informs them there are no other guests.

According to author Richard Estep, one of the most tragic stories connected to the hotel concerns a regular guest named Eddie who always stayed in Room 301. As was his habit, he had too much to drink one night and fell to his death when the elevator door opened, but there was no car there, and he tumbled into the shaft to his doom. His body was taken to his room and left there until the undertaker came to claim it. Since then, guests of Room 301 experience strange happenings like footsteps, voices, and eerie knocking.

The hotel’s famous “bird cage” elevator is haunted, too. Installed in 1900, it still operates today, and it often travels back and forth between the third floor and the lobby, even when it's not summoned.

Another resident ghost is that of a young boy who is not only spotted in the hotel but in a residential building across the street as well. He is mischievous and likes to move things around, turn off lights, and to switch off the vacuum cleaner whenever housekeepers are trying to clean up the rooms.
