Summary

The Devil Within – Denver Confidential: Part One Denver is a city built on secrets, and some of them refuse to stay buried. In this episode, we pull back the curtain on the Mile High City’s darkest legends, where whispered stories of séances, restless spirits, and long-forgotten curses converge. Chapter One takes us inside the Brown Palace Hotel, where high society once gathered for a séance that spiraled into something far more sinister. Chapter Two follows us to Cheesman Park, a lush expanse of green built over the bones of thousands—a playground for the living and a graveyard for the dead. And in Chapter Three, we climb the steps of Colorado’s State Capitol, where the foundations themselves carry a curse and the echoes of a troubled past. Part history, part nightmare, Denver Confidential exposes the city’s haunted underbelly and the spectral fingerprints left on its most iconic places.
