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.

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.
