The Denver Botanical Gardens is effectively an extension of what is now Cheeseman Park. Cheeseman Park was once a large cemetery, and when they “moved” that cemetery, the person that did it, did a very poor job. Scandalously poor. To this day, bones will unearth themselves in both the park and the gardens.

So bones everywhere in that area.

There is a “Haunted Mansions” guided walking tour down there around Halloween that is pretty good if anyone lives in the area. They talk about it a bit as the tour starts in Cheeseman.
