Why Mile Fright City?
Denver has a great tradition of ghost stories, and we wanted to make a fun interactive tour that explores haunted locations and their stories. However, every resource we looked into offered wildly differing stories for each location. The Molly Brown House has a laundry list of ghosts that includes all of the former house staff and a cat. The Croke-Patterson Mansion is haunted by any number of apparitions depending on the source. Some ghosts seem to be moonlighting at multiple locations. In the end, we decided to just have fun with what we saw as common narrative threads: The Molly Brown House is over capacity, Croke-Patterson makes a delightfully odd onomatopoeia, and the Oxford Hotel needs to call Ghostbouncers to deal with their pickled poltergeist.
