Colorado Prison Museum

The Colorado Prison Museum was one of the first museums in Cañon City. In the laundry room, once used by female convicts for washing clothes, many visitors report cold spots and the smell of tobacco. In Cell Number 19, orbs have been captured in photographs, believed to be the spirit of a female prisoner who died there. Witnesses have also reported hearing coughing and detecting the original scent of the cell’s long-gone occupant.
