The Work of Ghouls: Denver's City of the Dead

Haunted American History · Dec 9, 2025 · 26m

Beneath the lawns of Cheesman Park and the winding paths of the Denver Botanic Gardens lies one of the darkest stories in Colorado history. In 1893, an undertaker’s greed turned a cemetery relocation into a scene of horror, a scandal known as “The Work of Ghouls.” Thousands of bodies were left behind, and for more than a century, ghostly encounters have echoed through the neighborhood. This is the true tale of the City of the Dead, and the restless souls still below Denver’s most beautiful park. hauntedamericanhistory.comPatreon- ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/hauntedamericanhistory⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LINKS…
