With over 20 chilling tales of ghostly encounters, paranormal phenomena, and the haunted past of Salida’s most storied landmarks, this tour is not for the faint of heart.
Let’s delve into some of the spine-tingling highlights from the tour. Be warned: once you learn these tales, you might never see Salida the same way again.
The Pharmacy & Fountain: Ghostly Dancers and the Woman in White
Step into the shadow of a building where the echoes of the past still resonate. The second floor of the Pharmacy & Fountain hides a history of joy and tragedy. On one side, scuffed hardwood floors whisper of a dance studio filled with laughter and twirling footsteps. On the other, the abandoned remains of an apartment sit frozen in time.
Paranormal investigators report glowing orbs and the presence of spirits, including seven playful children who seem to linger where they once danced. And then there’s the woman in white. Sightings of this spectral figure in Victorian dress have left visitors unnerved. She watches from the upstairs windows, her gaze said to follow those who stare too long.
Elks Lodge: Ballroom Echoes and Mysterious Guests
The stately Elks Lodge is not without its share of the supernatural. Its grand ballroom once hosted glamorous dances, but some say the revelry never truly ended. Visitors often report hearing muffled laughter, faint footsteps, and even ghostly voices drifting through the empty space.
The most unsettling encounters happen in the upstairs restroom. Imagine catching a glimpse of a woman in a shimmering green gown in the mirror—only to turn and find no one there. Would you stay for a game of pool in the quiet bar, knowing the spirits might be lingering nearby?
The Old Mortuary: A History of Restless Spirits
Now a lively Mexican restaurant, the former mortuary holds some of the town’s most intense paranormal energy. Employees and visitors alike report voices echoing through the halls, dishes moving on their own, and even a shadowy figure wearing a tall top hat.
During one paranormal investigation, a Spirit Box—a device used to capture electronic voice phenomena—picked up a chilling voice commanding, “Shut up.” When ghost hunters get spooked, you know there’s more to this building than meets the eye.
The Palace Hotel: The Smoky Room 201
The historic Palace Hotel, now vacation rentals, carries its own lingering mysteries. Guests in Room 201 often complain about the distinct smell of cigarette smoke, despite the building being smoke-free. Could it be the spirit of a former tenant, a chain smoker evicted decades ago, still making her presence known?
Another tale tells of a “tall man” who visits children staying in the building, sharing stories and laughter in the quiet of the night. Whether friendly or not, these spectral encounters leave an indelible impression on all who experience them.
