The Haunting

Glenwood Hot Springs Pool, also referred to as Hot Springs Pool and associated with the Hot Springs Lodge & Pool and Yampah Hot Springs, is a commercial thermal mineral pool complex located in Glenwood Springs, Garfield County, Colorado. The resort traces its establishment as a commercial facility to 1888 and is fed by Yampah Hot Springs, which the resort description states supplies millions of gallons of hot, mineral-rich water daily. The site has been a visible regional attraction over the 20th century, appearing in travel promotional footage and travel materials. The springs are noted in resort and archival materials as having been considered a sacred healing spot by the Ute people for hundreds of years; this cultural and spiritual value is recorded in promotional and historical descriptions, though the specific ethnographic details are drawn from the resort/archive text. Contemporary sources present the pool and lodge as an active public resort with lodging, pools, and other visitor amenities. The supplied research materials do not document any paranormal occurrences, hauntings, apparitions, or named spirits associated with the site.
