In this episode of Anthology of Horror, we dig deep into the haunted history of Colorado—a land as drenched in blood as it is crowned in beauty. From the sacred landscapes of the Ute, Cheyenne, and Arapaho, to the atrocities of Sand Creek and the retaliatory wars that followed, the story of Colorado is layered with tragedy and restless spirits. We move through the outlaw boomtowns of Leadville and Cripple Creek, where gambling debts were paid in blood and brothels left their shadows, down into the mines where Tommyknockers and curses echoed beneath the rock.
The 20th century brought new horrors: labor wars that left children and families dead at Ludlow, hospitals and prisons that turned suffering into industry, and the Stanley Hotel where ghosts still waltz in empty ballrooms. From haunted highways to skinwalker stories in the San Luis Valley, to the infernal reputation of Riverdale Road, Colorado emerges not just as a state, but as a monument of memory and death—where every ridge and gulch carries stories the living can’t forget and the dead won’t release.
This episode was produced by Mickie Eberz, with scoring and the closing song “Ghost Town” by Empress.
