Step beyond the veil and wander the shadowed streets of Manitou Springs on a 75-minute haunted walking tour filled with chilling legends, forgotten history, and restless spirits that refuse to leave the mountains behind. As twilight settles over downtown, your guide will lead you through dimly lit alleyways and streets to view historic buildings, and explore hidden corners where strange encounters have been whispered about for generations. Hear tales of ghostly apparitions, curses, witchcraft, and the lingering energy said to haunt the springs themselves. 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. Come walk with the spirits… if you dare.
