OBSESSED: Coloradans Love Haunted Houses More than Most of USA
Halloween is right around the corner, and we are ready to be scared. Are you brave enough to go to a haunted house? Personally, there is no way I am brave enough to surround myself with the paranormal on purpose.
Do I believe in ghosts and the paranormal? I go back and forth. Sometimes I feel like it is dumb, but on the other hand, there is no way I keep leaving my silverware drawer open at home.
Coloradans Are Obsessed With Ghosts
Colorado was recently ranked as one of the most ghost-obsessed states by AirportParkingReservations.com. Colorado is the tenth-most haunted-house-obsessed state.
There are 289 reported haunted and spooky locations in Colorado, according to GhostQuest.

Coloradans Seek Out the Paranormal
There are an estimated 818 haunted house seekers and 1,433.8 ghost seekers per 10,000 residents.
That means that Coloradans are more interested in ghosts than haunted houses. Could that be because we believe there are ghosts in our homes?
Paranormal Shows Have Been Filmed in Colorado
There have been five different ghost hunter or adventure-based shows filmed across Colorado. The most recent show was Paranormal Encounters which was filmed in 2022 at a haunted bar in Denver.
One of The Most Haunted Houses in Colorado: The Stanley Hotel
The Stanley Hotel, which inspired Steven King to write The Shining, is a favorite for paranormal seekers in Colorado. King visited the hotel in 1974 and felt a paranormal presence.
The book, which was released three years after King's visit, was turned into a major motion picture featuring Jack Nicholson.
