Locations

Below is a partial listing of locations we've visited during the filming of this project.

Italy

Bullhead Entertainment has explored the world in search of paranormal activity. Documentary filmmaker Timothy Schultz paid a visit to a science lab in Italy and also explored the grounds of the medieval Bardi Castle, which is a renowned hot spot for paranormal activity.

This castle is well known for being haunted and for having a dark history of numerous people being tortured and killed. A woman is rumored to also have jumped to her death from a tower. Filmmaker Timothy Schultz met scientists who explored the castle in search for answers.

Benin, Africa: The Birthplace of Voodoo

Bullhead Entertainment sent a crew to the birthplace of Voodoo located in Benin, Africa. Voodoo is one of the oldest and least understood ways in the world that people are attempting to communicate with the deceased. We wanted to see it firsthand. Our cameras captured sacred spiritual ceremonies, animal sacrifices, and possession rituals rarely seen in Western media.

Located in St. Francisville, Louisiana, the Myrtles is considered by many to be one of the most haunted houses in America and one of the most intriguing locations in the world for paranormal activity.

The Stanley Hotel:

Located in Estes Park, Colorado, the world renowned Stanley Hotel is best known for being the inspiration to Stephen King's classic horror novel, The Shining. Its remarkable views and architecture coupled with its local ghost tours give guests a stay unlike any other. The Stanley opened its doors in 1909 and is known to be one of the most haunted hotels in America. To book a room, you can visit the Stanley Hotel's website at stanleyhotel.com

Croke Patterson Mansion:

Located in the capitol hill area of downtown Denver, the extremely haunted Croke Patterson Mansion has been featured in multiple publications and television programs including: "The Ghosts of Denver: Capitol Hill," by Phil Goodstein, the Home and Garden Network, and most recently on ABC's nationally televised program Scariest Places On Earth. It has been described as both "elegant" and "frightening." Unexplained sounds, office equipment turning on and off by itself, and two guard dogs mysteriously jumping to their death out of a third-story terrace window are among the many frightening occurrences that are said to have taken place here.

The Belvidere Theatre:

Located in the heart of Central City, Colorado, the Belvidere Theatre is known to have its share of ghosts. Originally constructed in 1874, this historic theatre has been used as a bottling company, a recreation center, a National Guard base, and a Fire Station. It is now connected to what used to be the town's jail and an old saloon, which also served as a brothel. It is said to be the oldest theatres west of the Mississippi. Its floors have been walked on by the likes of Doc Holliday, Goldie Hawn, and George Segal, with the latter pair starring in the 1976 comedy western, The Duchess and Dirtwater Fox, which was filmed in the theatre.

It is a key hot spot for local ghost tours. Rumors of murder and a public hanging outside the theatre are said to have left the Belvidere permanently "occupied".

The Miramont Castle:

The Miramont Castle in Manitou Springs was built in 1895 by a French priest and soon turned into a tuberculosis sanitarium. It is now a popular museum and is said to be filled with ghosts. They even have a special guest book in the gift shop which holds hundreds of tales that people have shared on their unbelievable ghost experiences.

Lumber Baron Inn:

This historic Victorian style bed and breakfast in Denver is the site of a terrible unsolved double homicide in the 1970's, which is rumored to have left it haunted. People travel here from all over the world to attend Christopher Moon's Ghost Hunter Universities, which teach people his secrets on how to find ghosts. His paranormal evidence has prompted police to revisit the criminal investigation of the murders that took place there.

Emma Crawford Coffin Races:

Chasing the Shadows explores the Emma Crawford Coffin Race festival, held in Manitou Springs, CO. Emma Crawford died of tuberculosis in 1890. Before she died, it was her wish to be buried on top of Red Mountain, but her coffin would not stay there for long. Her remains were discovered a few years later after a number of tumultuous rainstorms washed her coffin out of the mountain back down towards the town. Every October, a coffin race festival is held in commemoration of her.

Banjo Billy's Bus Tours:

Don't you wish you went to school in one of these?: an old school bus chopped in half, refurbished with a tin roof, horns on the front grill, wood paneling, saddles for seats, disco balls, banjo music blaring through the speakers, and the sound of horses neighing as you hit the horn! This is the bus of Banjo Billy, which is now used to take people to the school of ghost stories. In Chasing the Shadows, we hop on the capacity filled bus as he drives around Boulder, Colorado, giving people a ghost tour unlike any other! You can visit Billy's website at www.banjobilly.com
