Ghosthunting Colorado is your one-stop source for everything that
goes bump in the night In the 1800s, Colorado quickly became the
heart and soul of the gold rush that eventually brought the
territory into statehood. Thousands flocked to cities like
Leadville in the hopes of finding their fortunes. Many of
Colorado's most famous ghosts, such as "The Unsinkable Molly
Brown," have their roots in Colorado's colorful mining history.
Alfred Packer, the state's sentenced cannibal, also came to
Colorado for gold, but there are more than just the spirits of
miners here. The eyes of paranormal enthusiasts have long been on
the Centennial State due to the fame that Stephen King's The
Shining brought to the Stanley Hotel in Estes Park. The stories of
Colorado's mountainous hotel seem to have taken on a life of their
own, making the building supposedly one of the most haunted in the
country. The Stanley, however, is not the only haunted hotel in
Colorado. Multiple inns and hotels in Denver alone have histories
as sites of brothels, suicides, and other deaths that make their
victims decide to stay in their beloved rooms forever. The oldest
hotel in Denver, The Oxford Hotel has ghosts aplenty and a "Murder
Room" to boot. A bed and breakfast in Capitol Hill called The
Patterson Inn used to be the mansion of Colorado's first state
senator. The 14,000squarefoot building is made of red sandstone
native to the Garden of the Gods area. The mansion is also the
source of several urban myths, such as the tale of "Willy," a
satanic undertaker who lived in the carriage house and is said to
have kidnapped and killed small boys. Outside of Denver, the Rocky
Mountains of Colorado are considered to be one of the best
destinations in the country for hiking and skiing. The mountains
appeal to spirits, as well, including the ghost of a woman who was
supposedly murdered by her husband and who is now said to hitchhike
on the roads near Pike's Peak. The world-famous Red Rocks
Amphitheatre in Morrison is not without its ghosts. Concertgoers
and employees have seen the apparition of a miner in restricted
areas of the venue, while the Hatchet Lady of Red Rocks terrorizes
lovers in the surrounding park. Author Kailyn Lamb looks at
locations throughout the state and dives headfirst into the history
behind the ghosts and what has made them stay.
On this leg of the journey, readers will explore the scariest spots

experiences, and providing a firsthand account. Readers may enjoy

Maryland, with its role in the War of 1812 and the Civil War, is a
ghost-hunter's dream. This handy guide divides the state into six
regions, and profiles the best destinations in each. The USF
Constellation boasts three ghosts, including a sailor executed for

profiled in this unusual guidebook.
This book provides a detailed, state-of-the-art overview of key
observational and theoretical aspects of the rapidly developing and
highly interdisciplinary field of exoplanet science, as viewed
through the lenses of eight world-class experts. It equips readers
with a broad understanding of the complex processes driving the
formation and the physical and dynamical evolution of planetary
systems. It juxtaposes theoretical modeling with the host of
techniques that are unveiling the exceptional variety of observed
properties of close-in and wide-separation extrasolar planets. By
effectively linking ingenious interpretative analyses to the main
factors shaping planetary populations, the book ultimately provides
the most coherent picture to date of the demographics of
exoplanetary systems. It is an essential reference for Ph.D.
students and early-stage career researchers, while the scope and
depth of its source material also provide excellent cues for
graduate-level courses.
The Greek myths, refined by the great poets and playwrights of
Ancient Greece, distil the essence of human life: its brief span,
its pride, courage and insecurity, its anxious relationship with
the natural world - earth, sea and sky, represented by powerful
gods and monsters. Taking inspiration from the incomparably
beautiful and intense poetry of Homer, Aeschylus, Sophocles and
Euripides, Spurling - a lifelong classicist and an award-winning
playwright and historical novelist - spins five more myths for
contemporary readers. These captivating tales centre on male-female
pairs - Prometheus and Pandora, Jason and the sorceress Medea,
Oedipus and his daughter Antigone, Achilles and his mother Thetis,
Odysseus and Penelope - that destroyed dynasties, raised and felled
heroes, and sealed the fates of men.
