  A family residence in Ciudad Montes, in Puente Aranda district.
  El Virrey Park, where Luis Colmenares died under undiscovered circumstances. Strange occurrences have been reported .
  The Colombian Institute of Anthropology and History headquarters
  The streets around the campus of La Salle University host the spectre of a vengeful woman who was rejected by a Spanish priest.
  Under the main altar of La Concepción Church, three knocks are reported to be heard whenever a nun is about to die.
  Manuelita Sáenz House
  The Silva Poetry House
  La Inmaculada Cemetery: There is an urban legend of a phantom passenger.
  On the corner of Calle de La Esperanza and Calle de La Parra sits a house where legends say horrifying satanic rites took place in. In 1999, a local newspaper reported a security guard found a two-meter tall white human shape on the patio, when he was there alone.
  Calle de la Peña: An old manor in this street has a terrible reputation. Apparently there's a ghost in the patio that had cursed the existence of everyone who has the misfortune to see it. Legend says that even Simon Bolívar got to see it when he was escaping from a complot to kill him. The husband of the actual owner hung up himself after some encounters with the infamous ghost; he left a note to his wife revealing the horrible secret of the ghost, but the wife refuses to reveal it. 
  Calle del Sol (The Street of the Sun) was built in 1917 as a lodge for a religious community, but became the headquarters for the Colombian Intelligence Service (now DAS) in 1945, which was used to incarcerate and torture prisoners during La Violencia. Now an apartment complex, some residents report hearing screams, moans, laughs, punches and whippings, preceded by lights and strange fogs. Some workers of a restaurant, also located on the dungeon's location, report toilets flushing by themselves, things changing position on their own,  and an invisible force in the kitchen area which pats workers on their backs. Supposedly these are the souls of those who were tortured, or perhaps a witch who was the mother of one of those prisoners.
  The Casa Sámano Museum used to belong to Juan Sámano, Viceroy of New Granada. Probably one of the most hated figures of Colombian history; in life he used to spit, step on and kick those he did not like, which he has continued doing in the afterlife. Surveillance have felt steps on the second floor and doors which appear to open by themselves.
  The Gilberto Alzate Avendaño Foundation is reported to be haunted by the ghost of Viceroy José Manuel de Ezpeleta, nicknamed "The Green Jacket Ghost". Legend says the ghost used to knock three times on a wall on the second floor and then disappear.
  Gregario Vásquez de Arce y Ceballos House has the benevolent ghost of the owner, who appears in the basement and the patio, wearing a long black cape.
  The José Caicedo Rojas House, also known as The Goblin's Mansion, is haunted by a goblin named Baltazar. Legend says the goblin is the spirit of a newborn, who was thrown into the patio's well by his single mother, afraid of being burned at the stake under the laws of the Holy Office.
  The Jose Raimundo Russi House is where Manuelito Ferro was murdered in front of, with Russi being charged for the crime. Some neighbors have said they hear the screams of Ferro and the sound of his stabbings.
  The Juan Montúfar House has been a boarding house since colonial times, and is still run by Montúfar descendants. Students who have lived in the house have felt presences, steps in the middle of the night, and temperatures drastically dropping.
  Las Aguas Cloister is a former convent where people claim to hear noises and see shadows in the south-eastern patio, which the nuns used as a burial place.
  Palomar del Príncipe Park is haunte
