The Haunted Heart of Denver
The Gates of Hell are rumored to lie below a hotel near Denver’s capitol building, and there are tales of restless spirits of those buried in Cheesman Park. Above the subterranean darkness, the city streets are haunted by the murderous poltergeist of the Capitol Hill Thug. Even the stately mansions of Millionaires’ Row hide their own secrets—a sad Victorian lady begs for help before vanishing in the Sheedy Mansion, and an eerie face appears on the façade of the Cresswell House. Join tour guide and reluctant ghost hunter Kevin Pharris as he takes a chilling journey through The Haunted Heart of Denver.

Entertaining. Fun spooky history tour through some of Denver’s most famous streets to homes and businesses with intriguing stories. Some stories definitely for adults, not children. Very enjoyable, maybe more so because I already know some of these places, having grown up near Denver.

A humorous way of telling Denver ghost stories
The author keeps a sense of him throughout his book on telling the stories of Denver. I've never have read a book about a city or state ghost stories that has been told in this way. Makes me wish that I was going to Denver and experience one of his ghost tours. If you read it I hope you'll get as much enjoyment as I did.

More history than horror, but fascinating to read about places I am familiar with. There is some amazing buildings in Denver, and surrounding area that are haunted. I may have even visited some unaware of their haunted past. A lot of these Haunted America books are available of Kindle Unlimited right now, so I may get my fill in this October.

This was an unusual way to get a tour of part of Denver, but I enjoyed the stories! I wonder what a real ghost tour of Denver would be like.

This book is fun and informative! Let me assure you, Mr. Pharris is as much fun as as a tour guide as his humor in this book suggests!

This author is a great writter. He seamlessly mixes the history of the place wit the stories of the goats experienced at the location.

Couldn't finish. interesting content but couldn't get on board with the author's writing style. A bit too conversational. Probably a 5/5 for anyone into paranormal stuff that lives in Denver.

Great book to introduce some of the wonderful, historic residences of Capitol Hill and downtown Denver.

Interesting with many colourful details. The style of writing gave me another reason to not go on a guided tour for anything. This said, I might read it again for the various info it provides.
