The Black Forest Haunting DVD!!!
An Investigation with Paranormal Researcher Dennis William Hauck
http://www.haunted-places.com/black_forest_haunting.htm
The dream of Steve and Beth Lee and their two sons was to live in the beautiful Black Forest region of Colorado. For
four years they rented homes in the densely forested area northeast of Colorado Springs before finding a spacious,
two-story log home off Swan Road in the thickest part of the woods. What they did not know was that the former
tenant of the house was convinced the property was haunted but did not mention anything for fear of being ridiculed.
The unsuspecting Lees signed a lease and moved into the picturesque house, and a year later, they decided to
purchase the five-acre parcel.
That was when their problems began. Within weeks of buying their new home, the gates of hell opened up on them.
“One day we came home,” said Beth, “and it was like the Fourth of July in our living room and in our bedroom. We had
all kinds of lights flashing through the house, and it sounded like people stomping across the roof every night.
Strange things started happening every single day.” Those experiences are continuing to this day! Sightings returned
to the Black Forest three times to document the amazing paranormal energy. “There is an energy here unlike any I’ve
ever experienced in all the years I’ve investigated anomalous activity,” noted psychic Peter James. “The Black Forest
is indeed a very important place that should be further investigated.”
Early in the case, Steve Lee asked renowned paranormal investigator Dennis William Hauck to try to get to the bottom
of the relentless haunting. This DVD chronicles Hauck’s intensive on-site investigations and features some of the most
convincing and authenticated paranormal videos and photographs ever taken. To order your copy of this fascinating

34) The Ghosts of Elitch Theatre - DVD!
The Elitch Theatre, built in 1891, is a Denver icon and the oldest standing summer theatre in the country. The
historical documentary/ghost story, The Ghosts of Elitch Theatre, details the ghost of Mary Elitch who many believe
has kept the theatre from falling, the theatre's renovations and its life in the next 100 years.
The Elitch Theater was built in Denver in 1891 with the notion that it would bring to its stage some of the worlds most
popular stars. People like Grace Kelly, Sarah Bernhardt, Edward G. Robinson, and Robert Redford, just to name a
few. The building has fell into disrepair and there was a danger of it either collapsing or burning down. Fortunately, it
was put on the national registry of Historic Places and listed as a Landmark with both the state of Colorado and the
city of Denver. And now it is being renovated. This documentary is both a historical documentary about the theatre
and a ghost story. Many people believe the Ghost of Mary Elitch has kept the theater from falling. It's history is
fascinating and sheds light on the early days of Denver.
The filmmakers brought in a group of Paranormal Researchers to determine if indeed the theatre was haunted. The
theme of the film is really Its about the passion for the place, and the power of the place. This theatre is not just a big
thing to Denver, but to the nation. It is the oldest standing summer stock theater in the country. Also it explores Mary
Elitch's history. She is a fascinating person and the only woman in her time running an amusement park. She is
celebrated by feminists for doing this at a time when it was nearly impossible for a woman to have this sort of
success.
