Dori Spence is the founder of ‘Step in Time’ Historical talks and Tours, guiding haunted history tours in the towns of Longmont, Loveland, Erie, Lyons, Frederick and Central City. She is also a professional life coach, medium, parapsychologist, psychic channel and inspirational speaker, as well as the founder of Lifeworks Int’l and the Kindred Spirit Society, aka SPOOKS Inc. Dori hosts talks, tours and events around different cities in Colorado to educate and share her insight surrounding historical sites in Colorado and the haunted history behind them.

As someone who is clearly qualified to share the haunted history of Erie with the community, Dori hosts these haunted tours in several Colorado towns. Although Dori uses her truly unique abilities to host these haunted history tours throughout the year, what better time to go on a haunted tour than during the Halloween season. Keep an eye out for events and tours happening in the Erie area this September and October!

The Kindred Spirit Society of the Rockies is a nonprofit organization that uses the study of ghosts and spirits to better understand and interact with visible or invisible entities that tend to appear in people’s lives. Scientific equipment, mediumship skills and psychic skills are a few of the nonintrusive methods that lend to their research. The mission of the organization is to gain a greater understanding of invisible lifeforms and share them with the public to help lessen the fear of death and paranormal experiences.

“We believe we are all kindred spirits and at physical death life as we know it changes, but does not end.” Dori describes her role as, “assisting individuals in ‘opening the veil’ that separates our living world from the world of the spirits.”

To learn more about haunted history tours in Erie and the Kindred Spirit Society, visit kindredspiritsociety.org or their Facebook page at Kindred Spirit Society International. Keep in mind that due to the nature of the content discussed during these tours, this may not be an appropriate outing for children.

Dori will offer a “Haunting History” tour on September 15 during the Biscuit Day event in Erie. In October, she will offer both “Haunting History” and “Back Alley Ghost” tours on Friday October 19 and Sunday October 28. The “Haunting History” tour will explain the history behind her ghost stories and is appropriate for ages 12 and over. All of the stories are related to people or events that could have conceivably happened or actually took place in Erie's history. The “Back Alley Ghost” tour, 8pm- 9:30pm, will feature morbid or sad stories about the ghosts of Erie. This tour is for ages 16 and older.
