Tucked away in the Denver Highlands, the Lumber Baron Inn is a quaint and charming bed and breakfast that is alleged to have a creepy secret.
Housed inside an authentic Victorian mansion, the Lumber Baron Inn was initially built in 1890 as a single-family home and also served as low-income housing before being restored to its current glory in 1991.
It was during those tumultuous low-income-housing years when tragedy struck, as the home - which primarily consisted of drug dealers, derelicts, and runaways - became the scene of a grizzly crime when two teenagers were tortured and killed.
To this day, the crime has gone unsolved, but one thing is for sure: things can get a little weird at the Lumber Baron Inn, which was recently named one of the 8 Most Haunted Airbnbs in the USA by TimeOut.
According to staff and guest accounts, a number of unexplainable occurrences have happened at the Lumber Baron Inn, including sightings of a young woman, the sound of footsteps when no one is around, and even ghostly shadows appearing in photos.
Do you want to embrace the Lumber Baron's macabre reputation even more? You can do so every October, as the bed and breakfast hosts a medium during this spooky and festive time!
