Fans of the supernatural and paranormal don't have to limit themselves to Halloween to indulge in their love of ghost hunts, psychic phenomenon, and haunted buildings and sites. Just look at this weekend's Paranormal Supernatural Conference, the first of what its organizers hope will be many deep dives into all things otherworldly. Beyond this weekend, the Mile High City offers a glut of opportunities for you to feed your intrigue and break out your ghost-hunting equipment. Just make sure not to pick up any ghostly souvenirs from your visit to the Other Side. Here are five of Denver's best paranormal events to attend this year.

Ghost Tours in Old Town Fort Collins

If you have an upcoming Friday or Saturday free and are interested in taking a trip up to Fort Collins for a spooky old time, you might be interested in carving out a few hours for Ghost Tours in Old Town Fort Collins. The tours explore some of the most haunted buildings and sites in the neighborhood, while guides share tales of supernatural happenings, ghost sightings and local lore. Be sure to bring comfortable shoes, because you'll be hiking up and down plenty of stairs.

Aspen Walking Tours

Aspen's DarkSide Tour
320 East Hyman Avenue, Aspen

Walk the streets of Aspen and take in a history lesson as you learn about the ski-resort town's dark past. Aspen's DarkSide Tour explores the ghosts and murders in the mountain town, stretching back to 1879. You can arrange a private tour, and you can even customize your experience to your liking. If you feel you're up for even more of the supernatural and paranormal later this year, be sure to ask about the Walk With the Dead Cemetery Tour, which normally takes place in October but is offered for private groups during the spring, summer and fall seasons.
