Once a thriving mining town during the Colorado Gold Rush of the 1880s, the ghost town of Ashcroft now stands as a testament to the state’s rich, yet often tragic, history. Visitors to the restored town, which features a saloon, post office, and the historic View Hotel, have reported numerous ghostly encounters, with many believing that the spirits of the miners who lost their lives in the nearby mountains continue to linger. The View Hotel, in particular, is said to be a hotbed of paranormal activity, with guests reporting unexplained noises, strange shadows, and a palpable sense of unease throughout the property.
