The Outlaws and Lawmen Jail Museum in Cripple Creek is described as having several alleged paranormal manifestations, including a security door that forcefully opens on its own, the sound of continuous footsteps on the wooden staircase, and apparitions of a former female jailer named Rosie and a male guard. These phenomena contribute to the jail's reputation as a haunted location where visitors can experience ghostly encounters alongside exhibits of mining crimes and historical police logs. The main security door, which separates the jail from the gift shop, is a focal point for paranormal activity, with visitors reporting it flying open on its own with considerable force. The sound of continuous footsteps walking up and down the wooden staircase has been heard by visitors. Museum visitors have claimed to see or sense two spirits within the jail: Rosie: A former female jailer who reportedly still lingers in the building. The presence of a male guard has also been reported.
