From eerie Victorian-era stories to spine-tingling paranormal sightings, every stop reveals another layer of Manitou’s haunted past. You may feel a cold breath at your shoulder… hear footsteps where no one walks… or catch a glimpse of something watching from the darkness. Perfect for believers, skeptics, thrill-seekers, and curious wanderers alike, this spirited adventure blends history, mystery, humor, and just the right amount of fear into an unforgettable evening beneath the shadow of the Rockies.
