Lost Ghost Towns of Teller County by Jan MacKell Collins Pdf

Throughout Teller County, history lovers can find abandoned towns and forgotten main streets that once bustled with life and commerce. Even before Teller was carved from surrounding counties, the scenic mountains and lucrative mines of the gold rush era brought thousands of settlers and attracted resort owners and tycoons eager to exploit the rich setting. Seemingly overnight, towns in the Cripple Creek District and other places popped up, flush with gold and people looking for opportunity. As the ore disappeared, the miners moved on in search of the next big lode. One by one, the towns were all but forgotten. Join Jan MacKell Collins and discover the booming history, lost towns and hardy settlers of Teller County.

Haunted Cripple Creek and Teller County by Linda Wommack Pdf

An unbelievable account of ghosts, long-legged beasts, and things that go bump in the night in the historic Colorado mining town and its environs. Home to the last gold rush in America, Teller County attracted a slew of peculiar characters. And many never left. A Victor Hotel regular named Eddie met his untimely death when he tumbled down the elevator shaft. A female apparition clad in Victorian clothing appears on the stairs of the Palace Hotel. A closed tunnel on Gold Camp Road is said to echo with the sounds of screaming children. And lingering spirits are still prisoners at the old Teller County Jail. Linda Wommack uncovers the eerie thrills and chills of Cripple Creek and Teller County. “Linda Wommack knows where all the ghosts are in southern Teller County—at least the ones who show themselves in various places, mostly old buildings . . . For the paranormal community, southern Teller County is the place to be.” —Pikes Peak Courier

Deadly Surveillance by John K Aldrich,Mark S. Oliver,Susan Oates Pdf

This is the true story of Susan Oates, who was unwittingly implanted with a top-secret covert military device, which allowed her to sub-audibly communicate with her military handlers. Follow her fifteen-year saga, as she first attempts to assist them with their mission and is subjected to years of systematic conditioning at the mercy of covert ops. As they work with Susan and gain incredible insight into the workings of the human brain, something goes horrifically wrong with the process, and they discover they have placed her on a path to an excruciating death. As a consequence, they determine they are in too deep to let her go free. She knows too much, and if her story gets out, then everyone involved will face significant prison time. Fearing the repercussions of an operation that has devolved into chaos, the intelligence operatives do the unthinkable: They hand Susan back over to a hardened group of heartless individuals, who resume torturing her by inflicting agonizing pain, all the while continuing to eavesdrop and ruthlessly mock her as she pleads for them to stop. Susan travels the world frantically searching for a location where she cannot be tracked, but her stalkers still control her like a marionette dangling on strings. Finally, she is left with only one hope: that a sympathetic captor will intervene on her behalf and at least make her life bearable-until the unavoidable bitter end.

Ghosts & Legends of Colorado’s Front Range by Cindy Brick Pdf

Stunning natural wonders and bustling cities make Colorado's Front Range one of the country's best places to live, but its rowdy past left some residents unable to quit the state--even in death. Outside Fort Collins, many a startled visitor spies grisly shadows hanging from the notorious Hell Tree. A reputed murderer stalks the Greeley Courthouse near where he was lynched for his alleged crimes. The disembodied heads of two vengeful banditos float through the basement of the Capitol Building in Denver. And the Broadmoor Hotel of Colorado Springs plays nightly host to a mysterious phantom lady. Author Cindy Brick reveals these and more gripping tales of the Front Range's spectral history.
