The Gates of Hell near Riverdale Road in Thornton, CO is a place thrill seekers only dare visit in groups, some complete with holy water and bibles. Why? It's a place where legend speaks of satanic worship, murders, sacrifice, and a lady in white who roams the nearby road, forever searching for her way home.
This is one of those sites where high school students like to go to hang out and tell stories. The Third Bridge is said to have been the scene of a car accident where some students were once killed. Folks also say that the place is near a terrible Native American massacre that took place long ago, and if high-schoolers get too rowdy, the sound of ghost drums will get louder and sound closer. Some have reported seeing the apparition of a man on a horse.
Colorado State Home for Mental Defectives; commonly known as Ridge Home started construction in 1909 and was supposed to house the mentally disabled. Before the building was demolished people have reported lights turning on, shadows, voices and moving objects but now that the building is gone there are only reports of shadows and voices.
There's a horrific tale of a jogger who was accidentally hit by a car at the crest of this Denver hill. The driver of the automobile drove off and left the jogger to die alone on the hill. This spooky ghost story is the tale of that jogger's shadowy specter, which aggressively looms over this area. People who have come late at night to enjoy the view on top of the hill have reported violent beatings on their cars and handprints on the windows. The legend comes with a warning: if the ghost of the jogger ever comes to the driver side of the vehicle it will kill you.
So, are you ready to go do some sight seeing?
