**Arvada - Ridge Home - NO TRESSPASSING State Property (I have gotten permission to be on the grounds) - For more information on Ridge Home, please visit the Ridge Home Pages | here | This is an abandoned mental hospital. In the begining it was an insane asylum. It was built in 1910. Ridge Home was closed partly because of the wrongful treatment of the patients. In the open of Ridge Home, there was only two ways out, death or moving to Pueblo Insane Asylum. Stories of a man with a packpack have been told, sercurity guards have seen him. No one knows just who he is. I personaly have felt rushes of hot air where the old administration building was. I have had something slam into a window seperating the HVAC shop and the office there, I have it on tape, nothing was in the office... Almost everyone reports sounds of people talking in the buildings. I have heard children around the old gym, so have others I have spoken with. My grandma used to work here, she was a "pill pusher" and they were always drugging the patients. In the early 1990s a guard set fire to the administration building. It was so badly burnt that it just was basically ash. No one was in the building at the time, it was abandoned then, but there was a black cat in the attic that the fire men saved. Also in one of the parking lots of the "newer parts" of Ridge there was a med. tech. that was shot and killed. I'm not sure, he could be the one with the backpack, he may not even be around. He got in a fight with another man when he got off work. Appearently the other man thought that the Ridge Home worker was having an affair with his wife. There are many rumors of Ridge Home, and please remember that most are just rumors. And there are some people out there that would like to play expert about Ridge, I don't even know all about it, I have been researching this place for years! Ridge Home is the main reason Release Me was even started.

**Arvada - Residence - TORN DOWN (being replaced by other homes) - On 55th Ave. on Old Wads. there was a house that was over 100 years old. It belonged to my great grandparents about 30-40 years ago. There have been reports of hauntings in this house, I'm not sure on what. My great grandmother died in this house, she had raised 14 kids in this house. It was strangely designed. There are 4 bed rooms total, two down stairs, and two upstairs. The two upstairs were very long, like dorms. The family had girls in one room and boys in the other. Down stairs had my great grandparent's bedroom, and an extra bed room that was used as a sitting room. Very interesting. They had a fruit cellar, and one bathroom. I got to visit it before it was torn down. It was a very interesting experience, but if anyone is haunting it, I don't know if they will move on, considering that they probably stayed because they liked the house, if that is true, they will probably be mad at the fact that the house is gone and they are building over it. If it is one of my family members, it could also be my uncle who was murdered in an ally coming out of the Arvada Tavern in Olde Town Arvada, or the great uncle who "killed himself" in the old jail in Olde Town Arvada, or even my great grandma.

Highlands Ranch - Daniels Park - Old 19th century armory on the south face of the hill, below and to the left of the park facilities, a ghost named "Kether" dwells.

It's the impression of her sadness that haunts the mansion. A great example of a residual haunting that happens even though the person is not dead.

Kiowa County - Sand Creek - The site of the Sand Creek Massacre is long believed and experienced as a haunted site. On November 29, 1864 over 200 Native Americans (mostly women and children) were brutally massacred by US Col. John Chivington. His forces hunted the people as they tried to escape along the Sand Creek, in many cases, as they tried to take shelter in small sand caves. They were used as target practice, mutilated, and even had body parts amputated before death as trophies. Annually, on the anniversary night of the massacre, campers have reported seeing manifestations of numerous Native women, children, and the occasional warrior, wandering down the Sand Creek bed and banks where they were killed, most appearing only briefly, then dissolving into the creek's soil. *~* Update on Sand Creek *~* Friday November 29, 2002 the plaque at the state Capitol honoring the soldiers that killed the Native Americans was removed, about time! It will be replaced with a plaque that honors the victims of the Sand Creek Massacre. Jim Druck, an owner of casinos, has bought the 1,465 acre massacre site and has given it to the tribes as a trust. The land has been returned to the people of the Cheyenne and Arapaho tribes, it's about time...
