Hauntingly Spooktacular!!

This book is a fascinating read-- not just about historic Denver/ Capitol Hill area-- but also because of the ghost stories.Yes, there are many, many, many ghost stories in this book. You have to look for them, though, because they are interspersed among the fascinating historical content of the book.There are so many ghost stories` and in the back of his book you can also look up "ghosts" and it tells you what pages includes ghost stories.Taking Phil Goodstein's tour- Ghosts of Capitol Hill (www.freeu.com)- is highly recommended. The man is a genius- and he knows his Denver history AND his ghost stories.I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this book!

A must have for any resident of Denver

Especially if you live in or around Cheesman Park, Capitol Hill, Wyman, Uptown, Morgan's, Country Club...you must have this book. Having spent my whole life here, I often wondered "what's the story behind that house/park/street/building?" Now I have the answers. The section on Millionaires Row (Grant Street) and Cheesman Park are especially interesting. Mr. Goodstein does an admirable job of bringing turn-of-the-century Denver to life and putting some flesh on the skeleton that is the historic neighborhoods of our town. Get this book.

history and gossip of Denver society

Ran into this book at a local bookstore's Halloween collection. Lots of detail about the classic old buildings of Denver and their famous inhabitants, including people like Molly Brown and Mamie Eisenhower. Not as much about actual hautings. This book has a very good index by street address and personage, so you can find the haunted house nearest you. At least one every block.
