The Tours
Morrison – Joel has been operating the “Ghosts and Legends” tour for about 20 years. During this time, the town has embraced his presence and continues to update him on paranormal occurrences in many of the businesses. As the town has evolved, so has the tour and the stories contained. This truly could be one of the most haunted towns in America.
Golden – Due to the many wild stories that were appearing in newspaper research for Morrison, it was a no brainer to start a tour in Golden in 2011. Stories of murder, hangings, and insanity took primary focus with the hauntings filling in after.
As historical resources become more widely available and accesible, the stories continue to evolve on each tour. Joel is looking to add a new tour location in the near future. Stay tuned!
