87: Haunted Central City: Spirits Beneath the Gold
In the quiet hills of Central City, Colorado, lies one of the states most haunted cemeteries-and a dark legacy forged in the nearby Gold Rush mines. In this chilling episode Daphne and Gayle talk about mining disasters, tragic love tales and ghost stories. From fatal mining accidents to the Lady of the Columbines, every grave tells a story of greed, grief, and lingering spirits.
If you want to skip over the mine story that is more history than anything go to about the 39 minute mark. I dove deep because deep diving is what we do.
