Had a great tour of the of the Wyoming Territorial Prison in Laramie, Wyoming today. Built in 1872, this prison housed horse and cattle thieves, murderers, robbers and others whose crimes put them behind the wall of this formidable fortress on the plains. The youngest inmate was only 14 years-old. One of the most infamous people who spent time behind the bars here was a very charismatic, Utah born Mormon named Leroy Parker, aka, Butch Cassidy. After his release Parker organized over 100 successful bank robberies and netted more than a million dollars from his pursuits. Julius Greenwelch, (below) also from Utah, was a successful cigar maker who killed his wife in an Evanston, Wyoming bordello he liked to frequent after finding his own wife working there. Greenwelch was convicted of murder and spent only a few years at the prison before dying of a heart attack. Possibly a broken heart. He is known to haunt the place. Visitors and employees have reported images of Greenwelch

and the smell of cigar smoke. On a tour today, at the exact spot where he died I definetely felt the energy change and got goosebumps JUST like the ones Grace and I experience on our tours! As haunted as this place is, it still can't hold a candle to our haunted tours! We have a jail right in the heart of Old Town where many experience ghostly occurances.   
Haunted History After Dark can take you to the Old Town Fort Collins jail where an early inmate, because of the same fate as Greenwelch, became the only lynching in county history. YOU too may get goosebumps or more just like our tour guests! Fort Collins is filled with spirits of the past. Cavalrymen, bootleggers and workers of bordellos still walk the same streets we take on our tours.  Take the Haunted History After Dark tour and experience Fort Collins ghostly past.
