The Ghosts of the Strater Hotel

We check into Durango's historic Strater Hotel — a Victorian landmark left over from Colorado's silver-boom days — and ask why so many people insist they've felt something they can't explain inside its walls. From the hotel's boomtown origins and the peculiar way old buildings seem to hold onto their past, to firsthand encounters in the hallways and rooms, we walk through the stories guests and staff have shared over the years. Along the way we weigh the skeptical explanations against the experiences themselves and end on the question that keeps us coming back: are these hallways haunted by death, or by life?
