The ghost of Ashcroft

Did I mention that the three of us went searching for ghosts in the old mining towns of Colorado while we were in Aspen last week?

We visited three ghost towns: Vicksburg, Winfield and Ashcroft.

Vicksburg was spooky. Really very eerie. But no ghosts.

Winfield was cute and sits right at the base of a grand mountain. I can totally see myself moving here to live. Or to hole-up for a spell. And? No ghosts. Just memories (according to a posted sign).

Ashcroft, just outside Aspen, was amazingly beautiful and I would totally drop everything, pack up my cuss and build myself a home there immediately (if not sooner) . . .

if it weren't for two things:


1. It's preserved under the U.S. Register of Historic Places

and . . .


2. The ghost.

 

 

. . . or maybe I'd move there because of the ghost.
