In the town of Lafayette (between Denver and Boulder), there is a very cool gravesite of a supposed vampire. What makes this grave unique is it is in a well-groomed cemetery, however two huge unkempt rose bushes shroud this grave, and there is a very large tree growing right where the body is. The name on the grave is eastern European and is old (1800s, but do not remember exact date). The legend says that the rose bushes are the vampire's finger nails which never stop growing and the tree sprouted from the wooden stake used to slay the vampire. People place gifts there even today, and when I was there somebody had poured salt on the tomb to ward off the spirits.
