Do Ghosts Haunt The Gilpin?
The Gilpin Casino was mentioned in a Denver Post article entitled Do Ghosts
Haunt Many of State’s Venerable Hostels? Here is what the article had to say:
At Black Hawk’s Gilpin Hotel (now The Gilpin Casino) in the 1980s a
travel-weary guest checked in, retired to his room, tossing his duffel bag on
the floor, and stretched out on the bed, exhausted. Almost immediately he felt
something thrown on his chest; it was his duffel bag. He ran from the hotel, not
even bothering to wait for a refund.
It seems The Gilpin Casino has inherited one or more of the old hotel’s
ghosts. Manager Randy Reker is positive he saw a woman entering a second-floor
room. When he approached the room, no one was there. He’s sure it was Lucille
Malone who jumped to her death a century ago, when she learned her lover was run
over by a wagon in front of the hotel.
