Book Synopsis
"I picked a microcosm on the edge of the circle--a place where many manifestations were occurring simultaneously--and I hit the jackpot immediately." -John Keel
The Hatchet Lady of Red Rocks, the ghostly Stanley Hotel and the terrifying Slide-Rock Bolter are just some of astonishing legends, eerie locations and strange monsters that compose Colorado's supernatural folklore. Stories of Bigfoot, UFOs and lake monsters vex the state's history. Haunted houses lurk throughout the state, as do cursed roads and bridges. Folklorist and award-winning author Jack Daly guides us on an odyssey through the uncanny, with a quest of unraveling the mysteries of the preternatural in Colorado.
