With its colorful history and abandoned ghost towns, mines, and railroad tunnels, it should be no surprise that Colorado is chock-full of weird and downright creepy places. However, how does one decide which is the eeriest of all with so many of these abandoned locations? Insider thinks they have it figured out, and we have to agree:

Constructed in 1961, the Atlas E. Missile Site was part of the first multi-stage Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles, which were used during the Cold War and later abandoned for more advanced missiles.

As per the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, there are 5 former Atlas E intercontinental ballistic missile sites around the state, 4 of which are in Weld County and can still be seen at the Missile Silo Park.
