Woodpecker Hill is home to many death row inmates, so it's no surprise that there have been several reports of shadowy figures, orbs, and the sounds of laughing children (other residents of the cemetery.)
2. Cheesman Park (Denver)

What is now a popular park was once a corrupt cemetery where the bodies of the deceased were mistreated. Today, the entire Cheesman Park neighborhood is said to be haunted by the spirits of those laid to rest at the former City Cemetery.
3. Bingham Hill Cemetery (Laporte)

Legend has it that when you drive by the old cemetery at night, ghosts will chase you, sounds of crying babies fill your car, and you may even feel a cold hand touch your arm...Remind me to NEVER visit Bingham at night.

Last but certainly not least is the gravesite (and museum) of the world-famous Buffalo Bill Cody. Legend has it that souvenirs at the Buffalo Bill Museum fall off the shelves without any coaxing and that a man resembling Cody has been seen wandering around the gift shop.
