Interesting except that no Coors has ever been be-headed. Nothing in the history of the family on it at all.

I grew up in Colorado hearing about the legend of the Hatchet Lady whose ghost inhabits the rock formations at Red Rocks Park west of Denver. There was a member of the Coors family who was kidnapped and killed as a young child, but I don’t remember where his body was found. The two stories; one real, the other not, are not related in any way that I know of.

OMG!! This is way freaky.

Scratch that, I sounded really stupid just then. I’m a retard and I need help, FAST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The first one was actually right. WAY FREAKYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY. One question, though. Why is it called the Hatchet Lady Bridge? There’s nothing in the story about a woman with a hatchet. Or am I just deluded?

This is a peice of ****!!!!!! Cars sputter sometimes, if you seriously think this is scary then your a big wimp.

If you people aren’t going to talk about ghost than why leave comments, you guys will make fun of people for reading this stuff but the you guys are reading it too, so you guys need to GROW UP!!!

Adolph Coors III was kidnapped and murdered in 1960 by James Corbitt. His body was found 8 mos. later, and his head was not attached. Investiators attribute the detached head to wild animals.

Is this a true story? if so i can go check it out my self at midnight.

I was raised around the Morrison/Golden area, and The Hatchet Lady rumours are true-she was killed in the late 1800’s (with a Hatchet) and is buried at the Cemetary (where she co-habitates)located in the Red Rock Park (Southeast Corner). There have been some scary things happen there-been there when they did!

Does anyone know where this bridge is located?

Where is this bridge located at ?? Cuz I heard that this story is just a myth and the bridge does not exist.

Hi, you know who my name is Rajeh. I never heard of that before, but…duh duh duh I want to drive acros that bridge to see if it’s true. If it’s not, I will go under the bridge myself. I think that story is so dumb. i wish i can see him because i want to fight him for stalling the cars. So if I happen to see you if I cross that bridge, I will take him out myself. Ha ha!

this must be some bull **** cause you all are some freaks and need to get a life

well, i live in golden and i’m still only 12 years old. i have been under that bridge with my freinds at night time because i heard about how creepy it was at night. i went down there, and i heard footsteps and somone breathing, but it was 1:00 in the morning so no one was there but me and my freind!

i am really interested in going to the bridge, does anyone know a more precise location of where the bridge is at?? please let me know!

This is ridiculous. Any real investigation into a possible paranormal activity is hampered by these idiotic made up stories. Whether ghosts are real or not remains a matter of conjecture, but this is a fact. You could delete 98 percent of this kind of **** of the internet then focus on the 2 percent of possible credible phenomena. Maybe then there would be an answer. It doesn’t really matter though from the quality of these posts obviously we have the reality tv generation making itself heard. Sad, very sad. If this offends any of you cretins, good that is what is was supposed to do. Have a nice day morons.

The Hatchet Lady is actually the resident ghost of Red Rocks Park, in Morrison, not Golden. She was looking for her son, and carries a hatchet over her shoulder and a lamp, they say — or this is the version my mother told me.

Morrison on it’s own is still pretty haunted. And this is a classic urban legend about a car sputtering over the bridge, being miraculously pushed across.

If people DO want to look for the Hatchet Lady, she’s in Red Rocks, not Golden.

This entry is inaccurate. It has confused at least two stories, one true and one… Well, you will have to take one of the many available haunted house/ghost tours to decide. This “Hachet Lady Bridge” entry doesn’t get anything quite right.

It was not Adolph Coors’ son but Adolph Coors himself who was shot and killed in 1960. Adolph Coors lived in Morrison and worked in Golden. The murder occured on Turkey Creek Bridge, Morrison. (Does anyone know if the bridge is still there since the roads have changed dramatically since 1960?) His body, however, was not found under the bridge. It was found 7 months later about 30 miles away, south of Sedalia. His head was probably separated from his body by wild animals.

The story of the Hatchet Lady is connected with Red Rocks in Morrison, CO. (Does anyone know if there ever was a bridge associated with that story?) The Hachet Lady is a ghost story you can hear if you take one of the many tours that are offered locally.

I just watched the Forensic Files show about Adolph Coors. It was a failed kidnapping attempt of Adolph Coors III. He was shot twice in the back on Turkey Creek bridge in Golden, CO in Feb 1960. They found his body 8 months later in the Pikes Peak region with 2 bullet holes in his right shoulder blade. He was not a child himself but a father of 4. His car was found running on Turkey Creek bridge as well as a pool of his blood and his baseball cap was in the creek.

THIS IS NOT TRUE. The car he was kidnapped from was found on the bridge THAT WAS ALL. His dismembered body was found in a trash dump in Sedalia, CO.

I grew up in Golden and from what I understand about the Hatchet Lady is that she exists in both Red Rocks park in Morrison, and Lookout Mountain in Golden. She does this by means of a porthole that is at the bottom of Lookout Mountain, if you go check it out there is two stone pillars that have arched doorways in them for no apparent reason. It is said that she goes in one side of the pillar doorway, which somehow gets her to Red Rocks, and then she comes out the other pillar doorway to haunt Lookout Mountain. The porthole on the Red Rocks side is in the 6th row 6th seat and can only switch between both on the 6th of each month, go and see for yourself, really scary!

Hey Elvis! Dont be such an a**whole! Maybe some people just enjoy reading about the ghost stories and myths. There is a reason they are called ghost stories and myths. Why don’t you get off your high horse and let people enjoy there freedom to believe what they want!

Tom you are right about Adolho Corrs III, He was kidnapped, and the Coors Family was demanded RANSOME money, they paid the money and he was never returned, but was found dead months later.

Adolph Coors III was 44 when he was kidnapped…not a young child.

I ALSO HAVE LIVED IN COLORADO ALL MY LIFE (LAKEWOOD) AND MY HOLE LIFE. AND THE HATCHET LADY WAS A BIG THING GROWING UP. SHE LIVED IN RED ROCKS MANY YEARS AGO AND I ALWAY HEARD THE SHE WAS KILLED BY THE SHERIFF OR POLICE BECAUSE SHE CAME AFTER THEM WITH A HATCHET. I HAD SOME PEOPLE I WENT TO SCHOOL WITH GET ATTACT WITH A HAMMER BY TWO GIRLS HITCH HICKING. THEY WANTED TO SEE THE CEMETARY OR THE HATCHET LADY’S GRAVE THEY ALL WENT AND THE GIRL’S ATTACTED THEM WITH HAMMERS. THEY ALL LIVED BUT THEY WERE HURT REAL BAD THIS IS IN THE 1972-1973 I WAS IN ALAMEDA HIGH SCHOOL THEN.

this is a lie and i just watch forensic files and he ddnt beheadede in the bridge he was shot and the killer dump him in pikes peak

If anyone has directions or information for this place, please email me at no.yes.lamb@gmail.com. I would really appreciate it!

If you folks are not too lazy to do a little research, I’m sure there’s a website out there that handles nothing but ‘newspaper articles’, why don’t you all find that site and see if anyone was reported as losing his head under a bridge! And by the way, you all need to grow up! lol

For everyone that thinks the Coors murder is faulse you may want to Google him. This did happen and is a true story. I’m not sure if the bridge is still standing as C470 is the old Soda Lakes road.

I have heard her called the hatchet lady for years. In fact when i was a kid my mother used to take us up to Red Rocks at night to look for her ghost. IT IS AMAZING TO ME THAT THIS IS SUCH AN UNDER REPORTED GHOST STORY! The tale i heard is that “The Hatchet Lady” or “Old lady with a lantern” as we called her. Lost her husband to in a train robbery and his body was founf in what is now Red Rocks Park. She refused to believe that he was dead and night after night she would go looking for her “Johnny” as he was called. One night she went out in a blizzard and never retured. Her ghost is said to haunt the park and she carries a lantern. The hatchet part I don’t know about, but I have seen this ghost many times and this is no lie. She has long black hair and is dressed in a white gown or cloak with the hood up, she carries a red lantern. I saw her when I was about 13 and had 2 other witnesses with me. My friend Steven and my mother. Over the years I’ve heard numerous stories about people seeing her walking along the road in the park and asking her if she needs a ride and she declines. I’ve also heard the “stoner” myth of “if you sit in the amphitheater in the 13th row in the 13th seat and say ‘Cry Baby, Cry’ 13 times the hatchet lady will come and cut your head off”. This is utter hog-wash! There is a ghost up there though, I’ve seen it.

This is really not that interesting their is not much to read that made any sense

THIS STORY IS TRUE.. AND THEIR REALLY IS A GHOST OVER AT RED ROCKS…. BUT ITS HARD TO BELIEVE WHICH ONE IS THE REAL STORY OR WHY THAT GHOST IS UP THERE TO BEGIN WITH, EVERYBODY HAS A DIFFERENT VERSION… AND AS TIME GOES BY PEOPLE WILL ADD MORE TO THE STORY.. PEOPLE STICK WITH ONE VERSION!!!

Adolph Coors III (January 12, 1916 – February 9, 1960), was the grandson of Adolph Coors and heir to the Coors beer empire. On February 9, 1960, he was kidnapped and murdered on his way to work by Joseph Corbett, Jr. in Colorado. In September, the remains of Coors were found by hunters in a remote area around Pike’s Peak. The subject of national manhunt, Corbett was captured in Vancouver, British Columbia in October of that year. [1]

Coors was a graduate of Phillips Exeter Academy in New Hampshire. Like most of his family, including brother Joseph Coors, Adolph graduated from Cornell University, where he was president of the Quill and Dagger society.

Just to clarify: Adolph Coors III was shot and killed on the Turkey Creek bridge by Joseph Corbett. If anyone wants to see the file, we have it at the Douglas County History Research Center in Castle Rock. Here’s the updated link to the collection guide: http://www.douglascountyhistory.org/faweb/coors/coors.pdf It was the first case where the FBI used paint and dirt samples to match the car with the murder.

I HAVE LIVED IN LAKWOOD ALL MY LIFE AND HAVE BEEN IN HANGING AROUND RED ROCKS EVER SENCE I CAN REMEMBER. AND ANOTHER STONER STORY IS THAT THERE IS A CAVE IN SHIP ROCK BY THE AMPATHEATOR WHERE SHE IS SUPPOSED TO HAUNT. IF YOU FROM LAKEWOOD ALL THE KIDS KNOW THIS.

I’ll try to keep it short. Red Rocks was my unrestricted playground for a long time in my youth. There’s places people can’t go to because of the threat of $999.00 fines posted everywhere. I wished I could take you all on the real tour of this great place i.e. Ute cave, Lone Tree Rock (sits above Hatchet Lady’s grave), the carved steps done by a Mines student in the 30’s, and many other places. A friend and I spent a night on Lone Tree Rock to see for ourselves if Hatchet Lady was fact or fiction. All I can tell you is shortly after dark the Coyotes stopped howling all at once, it got completely still and after a moment, a sharp stream of air swirled by us circled the pine tree twice and then shot right thru us. We sat there stuned and motionless to afraid to move. It was a long night to say the least. Many years later I would like to think the spirt or what ever it was searched our souls and for reasons untold let us be that night. Before I leave this world I’m going to re-visit these places one last time, fine or no fine. I wish I could take all of you with me.

Sorry if someone has already said this, BUT, Hatchet Lady Bridge is located off of 470 on Turkey Creek Road. I realize cars stutter, but I’ve been there three times and EACH time, the car has stuttered and the steering goes a teeny bit screwy *just enough to make you sweat, but not enough to make you think you’re going to go off the road or into a ditch*

I’ve heard the story the same way as Dylan, lived in Lakewood most of my life and that story was a favorite at summer camp.

Yes it is true, I grew up in wheatridge colorado and we would go party at red roks all the time, I have seen the ghost they call hatchet lady a number of times, always when we were climbing, I have also seen her at the amplatheater about 20rows up floating across the stairs,Red rocks sure does have alot of paronormal activity,I think due to al the rock climbing accedents that have happend up ther, i personally say a friend of mine fall 25 feet of of castle rock and break bolth of his ankles, very dangerous and illegle for that reason, but ther is no other place like stairway to heaven on top of shiprock not to many people will ever see that up ther, Im am lucky enough to hav been ther and saw it, but its no place you want to be alone thats for sure, cause the spirits up ther will scar the sh*t out of you!!

NO truth to this story what-so-ever! Another group trying to make a name for themselves. There was never a Coors family member beheaded and no body found under the bridge. If your car sputtered……get a tune-up!

I remember being out at Red Rocks on a sunny saturday morning in the early 80’s. There were maybe 50 or so people scattered about inside. Up there in that cave on “Shiprock”, the one towards the north, there were two clowns, showoffs, or two dudes just craving attention was up there horse-playing around. They had a boom-box radio playing and all of sudden, we heard that radio playing as it fell over the edge and busted into a million pieces. Alot of people started yelling at them to come down or they would call police. Both of them yelled back at the same time and said they never touched the radio and was nowhere near it. They swore to it. Serious as a heart attack.
Alot of guys take their classic rides up to Red Rocks for photo shoots. I’ve seen quite a few of those photos. You would not believe the white areas that appear in the backgrounds. If you are there at night, ANY night, and it’s really quiet, you would not believe all the different sounds that echoe and/or carry, and ricochet off the rocks. Yes, you will see lights too, but you won’t be able to tell what some of them are. It is possible that one could be a lantern. I think everyone should go there at least once in their life. It’s definantly NOT a waste of your time.

i like to be scared an stuff……my bro dont belive in it but i do……………………………

one day i heard that a ghost killed a man and the ghost was black

i might actually go on this bridge.i live in Golden,Colorado.

the story about the hatchet lady bridge is lame i think it’s just a myth that someone made up to get poor little people who believe in anything scared and believing that things like that actually exist when they shouldn’t so find something else to do with your spare time than making up stories ,and the name is stupid.

Adolph Coors III died by gunshots on the bridge Joseph Corbett on Feb. 9, 1960. He was found months later in a garbage dump near Denver. I got this info from a website that had the story from Adolph Coors IV mouth.

I’ve grown up in and around Denver all my life. I too spent a lot of time at Red Rocks as a teenager. I’ve seen the hatchet lady many times. It is a lantern she carries, not a hatchet. I’ve wondered why she was called the Hatchet Lady ever since the first time I saw her. She does have long dark hair and exudes an oura of sadness. She’s never acknowledged me or any of my friends, just ignoring us as she walked. There are many strange lights and sounds at Red Rocks at night time, even in areas not usually frequented by people. There no portals or holes to anywhere. The winds that blow through many of the rock formations sound very strange at night and some are very strong. But the Hatchet Lady is the only thing me or my frineds as actually seen.

They should have left the body there. Bc u kno kids e gonna go there. If for no other reason but to scare the living bejesus outta them
