Cheesman Park is a wonderful reprieve from the concrete jungle of Denver. But if you dig a little deeper, literally, you will exhume an interesting, and pretty creepy, piece of Denver history and few buried secrets, too. There have been numerous stories of ghostly encounters in and around the park. Residents in the nearby neighborhood report seeing distraught apparitions, hear knocking on the walls, and some have even seen a woman holding her severed head sitting in their dining room.
