FAQ

Is Buckskin Joe Haunted?
 
Buckskin Joe was highlighted on the History Channel’s Haunted Rockies Series© for the many inexplicable things that go on in the town, so you be the judge. If you encounter one of Buckskin Joe’s “permanent residents,” tell one of our staff members. Not only do we enjoy a good story, but also we like to keep track of the town’s population! Additionally, we build on our haunted history to help create Buckskin Joe’s Town of Terror every October.
