Real Haunted Places in Utah<\/h1>\n

If you love haunted places and stories of paranormal activity, I’ll surprise you by saying that Utah is not immune to such things. For starters, Brigham Young\u2019s farmhouse at \u201cThis is the Place Heritage Park,\u201d can make you quite shivery if you\u2019re afraid of ghosts. The house ranks highest in haunting\u00a0among real haunted places in Utah.<\/p>\n

It is said that Brigham Young and his son John Young loved the home so much that they still make occasional visits. Brigham Young appears as an old man, but John appears as a pleasant young man who once allowed his ghostly self to be photographed at a social gathering after the Wilcox family restored the house. In the farmhouse, the \u201cBallroom,\u201d was a favorite spot for children. Some say they can still hear children laughing and playing in that room.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Westminster College<\/h3>\n

There\u2019s something about the Westminster College campus that makes the hair rise on the back of your neck. Several halls on campus seem to be occupied by folks long gone from this earth. In Converse Hall, a woman dressed in a bridal gown makes her occasional appearance. The bride was married in a chapel nearby and died while she and the groom were on the way to their honeymoon. She seems to have made Converse Hall, the oldest building on campus, her ghostly home. Other haunted halls, including Ferry, Nunemaker, and Hogle.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Rio Grande Train Depot<\/h3>\n<\/div>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>

One of the ghosts who wander around this train depot has the uncanny ability to make the living feel angry, or so we\u2019re told. The \u201cPurple Lady,\u201d when rejected by her fianc\u00e9e, dove into the train tracks where her beloved had tossed an engagement ring. She didn’t see the oncoming train and was struck and killed. This distraught ghost, hair awry, usually appears around the caf\u00e9 in her purple sequined gown. She is a disturbing and terrifying presence.<\/p>\n

The tunnel ghost is a man who was killed when the train tunnel was under construction. He is more of a prankster who turns lights on and off and who moves things around.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Capitol Theatre<\/h3>\n
