THE STORY
Reported Haunting
The Brook Forest Inn in Evergreen, Colorado, is famous for intense paranormal activity concentrated on its third floor, which has occasionally been sealed off due to eerie events. Late at night, guests routinely report hearing the phantom footsteps of a young boy who tragically died of influenza sprinting down the corridors. The historic property is also allegedly haunted by a stable hand named Carl, whose spirit lingers alongside a chambermaid he strangled in a jealous rage.
At this inn originally built in the early 1900s, many ghosts are said to walk. The top floor is home to two: Jessica, a chambermaid who was murdered by her stable-hand lover, and the stable hand himself, who committed suicide after committing the dastardly deed. On the second floor lives Carl, the ghost of a man who killed his wife after learning she had had an affair. On the third floor lives a little boy ghost who can be heard running in the hallways late at night. Cold breezes are said to be felt going up the stairway to the third floor. Also, the forest surrounding the area is said to be full of the ghosts of Native Americans.
