10 Creepiest Places near Aurora, Colorado

Here is a list I am making for fun, and having 10 entries makes it more interesting.  I don't believe in ghosts but this might give you some chills.

1.  Fairmount Cemetery.  This is actually in Denver, but it is close by, at Quebec and Alameda.  This has to be one of the coolest/creepiest cemeteries anywhere outside of New Orleans. This has numerous above-ground mausoleums.  A search on Google images brings up lots of spooky images.

2.  Third Bridge.  This is connected with multiple deaths, such as a massacre of a ranch family by Indians in the 1860s (which led to the Sand Creek Massacre), an unsolved murder, and a car accident killing two teens.  (See http://www.imfromdenver.com/third-bridge-in-aurora-colorado/).  There are also some Youtube videos of apparitions.

3.  Richthofen Castle and Molkerei Tuberculosis Clinic.  This is also in Denver, but close by.  This would be a great scene for a movie.  The castle was owned by real German royalty, the Von Richtofen family which included the Red Baron. The Molkerei/Molkery later became an insane asylum.

4. Haunted 7-Eleven.  A 7-Eleven on Smoky Hill Road was supposedly built on a old indian graveyard.  See http://www.imfromdenver.com/most-people-in-colorado-think-this-7-11-is-seriously-haunted/

5.  Building 500, Anschutz Medical Center/Fitzsimons.  The old Fitzsimons hospital, which today has administrative offices, is supposedly haunted with the ghosts of military personnel.  Also, some of the old military buildings may be haunted. See http://coloradoghosts.blogspot.com/2009/10/fitzsimons-army-medical-center.html

6.  Rocky Mountain Arsenal Army Headquarters.  I have written about this before, and the whole setting is surreal.  Abandoned vehicles, weeds, deer hiding in the shadows, nuclear waste, etc.  The view from Rattlesnake Hill is impressive.  The whole area gives off a "Cold War" vibe.

7,  Parklane Swimming Pool.  Someone supposedly saw an old woman in a black dress with long white hair standing next to a slide.  See http://www.hauntedplaces.org/item/parklane-swimming-pool/

8.  Bicentennial Park. I have written about this before.  There was an old putt-putt golf course here which has been removed because of a fire.  There is an Army National Guard base across the street with lots of camouflage vehicles.

9.  Utility shed at First Creek Park.  In First Creek Park, on old Buckley Road, about a mile north of 56th Avenue, next to Pena Boulevard, sits an old abandoned utility shed, with stairs leading to the basement.  Hopefully, no one is hiding there.  Near to this is the Rocky Mountain Arsenal fence, with holes in it where some one could climb through.

10.  Mount Nebo Cemetary, Aurora.  This is more of a curiosity rather than being creepy.  Two ley lines intersect in the west end of the cemetery.  There is one to the northeast which follows the property line of the King's Inn motel, and another ley line to the southeast which follows a fence line and property line right down to the intersection of 6th & Peoria.  The lines predate the cemetery, which was built in 1902.
