The Town That Wasn’t There: Lost Roads, Time Slips & Vanishing Places in Colorado

Send us your stories or questions. [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2532664/fan_mail/new] What if you took a wrong turn… and found a place that doesn’t exist? In this chilling episode of Mile High Mysteries, we explore real accounts of vanishing towns, unexplained roads, and time slips across Colorado — including a story from the remote valley near Walden and North Park, where a driver encountered a fully lit settlement that disappeared the very next day. But this isn’t an isolated story. Across Colorado, travelers have reported driving down roads that don’t appear on maps, stumbling across buildings that shouldn’t be there, and experiencing moments where time seems to slow down, speed up, or vanish entirely. From eerie encounters on Guanella Pass to hikers in the Rockies losing hours without explanation, these stories raise unsettling questions: Are these just tricks of the mind?  Effects of isolation and terrain?  Or are there places where reality itself doesn’t behave the way we expect? If you’ve ever felt like a place didn’t belong… or like you stepped into something you couldn’t explain… this episode will stay with you. Because sometimes… the road doesn’t just take you somewhere new. Sometimes… it takes you somewhere that isn’t supposed to exist. Support the show [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2532664/support]

Bigfoot in the Rockies: Steamboat Springs, Mount Zirkel and & Colorado’s haunted wilderness

Send us your stories or questions. [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2532664/fan_mail/new] Deep in the forests of Northwest Colorado, strange stories have been told for generations. In this extended episode of Mile High Mysteries, we explore reports of Bigfoot sightings, strange footprints, unexplained howls, and ghostly encounters in the wilderness surrounding Steamboat Springs, Mount Zirkel Wilderness, Routt National Forest, Rabbit Ears Pass, and the Elkhead Mountains. Hunters have discovered massive footprints in fresh snow near Rabbit Ears Pass. Backpackers camping deep in the Mount Zirkel Wilderness have reported heavy footsteps circling their campsites in the middle of the night. Ranchers near the Elkhead Mountains have described tall figures moving along distant treelines and eerie howls echoing across the valleys. But the mysteries don’t stop there. Abandoned mining settlements in Routt County have stories of ghost lights appearing in empty cabins. Hikers near Red Feather Lakes talk about a forest trail where footsteps seem to follow them through the trees. And campers along the Yampa River have reported strange nighttime sounds that defy easy explanation. Are these stories the result of wildlife, wilderness psychology, and the power of folklore?  Or could Colorado’s mountains still hold secrets we haven’t discovered yet? Join us as we explore Bigfoot legends, haunted locations, and unexplained wilderness encounters across Colorado’s Rocky Mountains. And as always… we’ll let you decide what it all means.

UFO’s over Fort Collins & Northern Colorado

Send us your stories or questions. [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2532664/fan_mail/new] Strange lights in the sky. Silent objects over open prairie. And mysterious drone formations that once left residents across Northern Colorado asking questions. In this episode of Mile High Mysteries, we travel across Fort Collins, Greeley, Loveland, Pawnee National Grassland, Red Feather Lakes, and the Wyoming border to explore some of the most intriguing unexplained sightings in the region. From ranchers reporting silent hovering lights near Grover and Nunn, to campers witnessing strange aerial activity above Pawnee Buttes, Northern Colorado has quietly accumulated a long history of UFO and UAP sightings. We also revisit the strange 2019–2020 drone mystery that spread across northeastern Colorado and Wyoming, where coordinated aircraft appeared to fly grid patterns over rural farmland, triggering investigations from local law enforcement and federal agencies. But the mystery doesn’t end in the sky. Historic locations in Fort Collins and Greeley carry their own unexplained stories, while drivers through Big Thompson Canyon near Loveland have reported strange flashes of light and eerie nighttime encounters for decades. Are these sightings connected? Are they misidentified aircraft, advanced technology, atmospheric phenomena… or something we still don’t fully understand? From Northern Colorado UFO sightings to the growing national conversation around UAP transparency, this episode explores the stories, the locations, and the people who have witnessed the unexplained. And as always, we’ll let you decide what it all means. Support the show [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2532664/support]

UFOs Over Colorado: UAP Sightings and the July 8th disclosure Debate

Send us your stories or questions. [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2532664/fan_mail/new] UFOs Over Colorado: UAP Sightings and the July 8 Disclosure Debate Are UFOs being quietly acknowledged at the highest levels of government? In this extended episode of Mile High Mysteries, we explore decades of UFO sightings over Colorado — from the San Luis Valley to Denver International Airport — and dive into the growing national conversation around UAP (Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena). We break down recent headlines involving former President Barack Obama’s viral comments about aliens, President Donald Trump’s statements about releasing UFO-related government files, and the rumors surrounding a possible July 8 disclosure announcement. What was actually said? What’s confirmed? What’s speculation? From military pilot encounters and Pentagon UAP reports to political transparency promises and cultural shifts in how we talk about extraterrestrial life, this episode separates fact from rumor — and lets you decide what it all means. Are we closer to UFO disclosure? Or just closer to admitting we don’t know everything yet? Look up. Colorado might be closer to the truth than we think.
