American Fork - American Fork Canyon:
If you talk to anyone in Utah, you will know that AF canyon is very creepy at night. It has been reported that there is a ghost hitchhiker in the canyon. There is also a cemetery about half way up that has had sightings of apparitions in it. This canyon is deadly. Every year several people lose their lives due to auto accidents here. I have no doubt that spirits are roaming this place.
Bear River City - Cry baby bridge :
It is reported that a woman drove her car off the bridge killing her and her children. At times if you park on the bridge you can hear their screams.
A worker was killed in the underground pipe. It is said that when his spirit appears the water will flow backwards.
Benjamin - Old Arrowhead Swimming Resort:
A six year old boy drown in the pool and some guests have said that they have seen the shadow of a boy as well as a green mist on the stairs. In one of the upstairs bedrooms, if you are awake around one in the morning you are able to hear several soft voices. In the two downstairs bedrooms there have been sightings of an old woman and a very unpleasant presence. Some also tell of a "ghost cat" that wanders around the back of the house near the place that it was buried.
Benjamin - The Pump House:
There is an old pump house in Benjamin. It used to be used to regulate the arrogation flow to the farmers. It is said that there where two men working alone there one night, and one of the men got caught in one of the machines and died, the other man trying to pull him out got his arm caught and died from loss of blood. Needless to say they don’t use it anymore, and all electricity to the place has been shut off. But when driving by after dark, on many occasions, through the cracks in the boarded up windows you can see light shining through, generated from an unknown source. Upon approaching the house you can hear people talking, and music playing in the background. but no one is inside. Authorities have been called by numerous residents claming to hear "trespassers" in the old pump house, but upon inspection, they find no one, and no evidence of entry.
Voices are heard in the old wood cemetery along with strange smells and sounds. There is a tombstone that belongs to a temple worker for the salt lake temple. It is always warm.
Bountiful - the haunted museum:

Bountiful - Viewmont High School:
Ted Bundy abducted one of his victims from this high school. Reports of seeing her and his yellow VW bug still exist to this day.
There are hundreds of stories to the legend of a ghost bride at the falls. Here is a popular one.
In the late 30's a woman was driving from Ogden to Huntsville. She was going to be late for her wedding. It was the early morning and still somewhat dark. She was driving too fast and drove off the road. All they found was a bridal veil floating in the water. If you drive up the canyon to Huntsville in the early morning you might see a hitchhiker dressed in a white dress. Some people who have stopped claim that the woman says she is late for her wedding and upon reaching Huntsville limits vanishes from the car.

Brigham - Old Indian schools:
The sound of windows breaking, flying objects and ghost sightings are a few of the reported happenings. Doors will shut and open on their own. There are a lot of different buildings and a hospital. - November 2003 Update: The Indian Schools were originally built to house Indians in Northern Utah as sort of a dormitory/high school type of situation. In fact, up in the Brigham City Valley, there is a "B" on the Mountain for Box Elder and though faded, the "I" is still present as well. the school also served as a Hospital for wounded soldiers during WWII. As a precautionary measure there were many underground tunnels that were built to support the likes of an evacuation. Today many of the buildings have been remade into apartment housing and also are rented out as storage, but some are still closed to the public and are not being used for anything. The tunnels were boarded up at the end of the war. Today the buildings not in use stand deserted and boarded up. Kids from the area go inside sort of like a dare. Upon one of these instances it was discovered that the tunnels that were once boarded up now stand open to those daring enough to go inside. One of the rooms you can get to by use of the tunnels has been used for satanic rituals. Blood hangs on the walls; there is a pot in the corner and an "alter" in the middle of the room. Another room has paintings of demonic clowns with knives and other sharp objects painted on the walls. there have been speakers and lecturers brought in to speak on the subject at the college. One speaker said that Northern Utah was 2nd in the nation among Satan worshiping among teenagers. It is verified by police there is some sort of human activity and they warn not to go up there.

At one time this old building was once a school house. It was later turned into the city hall. It is located next to the city cemetery so this may help feed the paranormal activity to the building. The police station was in the city hall and some of the officers have reported that late at night they have heard voices echo in the hall as well as foot steps, but no one was found inside. Lights have turned on by themselves and on the top floor where there is no air conditioning, a former employee reported a chilling drop in temperature and as he looked down the hall, he saw an apparition of a woman who disappeared in thin air.

Huntsville - Old Dairy Farm House:
A viewer writes;
The house has a lot of history. It is about 130 years
old now and sits right on Pineview dam. It used to be a dairy and the foundation
of the barn still lies in the back. The barn was moved a short distance and
became a hotel called the Jackson Fork Inn. (I would be curious to know if
the employees had ever experienced anything). To start with the back
bedroom, which seems to have been the master at one point, was always very
cold no matter what time of year. My parents originally used it as their bedroom
and my mother soon became very ill. Moving to another bedroom at the opposite
end of the house seemed to fully remedy this. There were bizarre noises
throughout the house, and doors and windows seemed to have a mind of their
own. Previous owners had used it as a summer home. Their son went to the home
in the winter, to study for school without being disturbed, and one year he
killed himself in the house. As time went by things more and more happened.
We often saw the figure of a young man walking through the house in our peripheral
vision but when you turned to look directly at him nothing was there. My father
once saw him so solidly that he thought it was my brother and yelled "I'll
be off the phone in a sec". The young man walked over to the couch in
the adjoining room and sat down. When my father walked in to the room no one
was there. He called my brother to ask why he had left and of course the answer
was "I've been home the whole time". This is pretty much the extent
of my memory of the experiences. I was very young.
The older couple(with no children) who bought the house from us is a whole
different story. For this reason I feel that the suicide of the boy may have
had something to do with anger at his parents. I can not remember all the
incidents exactly as described to me but I will try. Everything started out
similar to us, funny noises, strange chill, doors miraculously unlocking themselves.
Soon the wife had become very ill in the same back bedroom with like symptoms.
Again moving the location of the bedroom helped this. Soon after they were
awoken to a violent earthquake. Objects fell from the walls, the bed bounced
on the floor and the house sounded as if it would collapse. Upon speaking
with the neighbors, no farther than a small town street's width away, they
learned they were apparently the only home affected by this local earthquake.
Being collectors of interesting antiques, the couple one day brought home
a beautiful crystal chandelier. They meticulously cleaned the chandelier,
taking each dangling crystal off to be washed separately. After washing, the
crystals were replaced and each clasp inspected to make sure they would not
fall off as it was hanging. They were shocked to find it the next morning,
crystals removed and set neatly in a circle on the floor, clasps still closed.
This is everything I remember. Hope you enjoy. I'm sure he is not the only
spirit residing there. - kate Hardy

In the late 1800's Ogden was one of the epicenters of the West. It was also the World's murder capital. Most of the business along historic 25th street were brothels.

Provo - Airport - Millionaire:
Photos by Nick...
Next to the UVSC building is a company called
Million Air. One of the guys that works there was on a call out by himself.
He was finishing closing everything up when he thought he caught a glimpse
of the chairs in the pilot's lounge moving. He walked in the room to get a
further look when he noticed that all 3 chairs (very heavy, lazy-boy leather
recliners - which were facing the entranceway) were rocking. He then took
a picture with his camera cell phone and in the picture the chair on the far
left was leaning on its side. A few of us played around with the chair and
there was no way one could simply put the chair on its side without it tipping
over immediately. He said before and after he took the picture, the chair
was sitting as if it never had moved.
Also, he saw a shadow in a hallway immediately after taking the picture of
the chairs. He looked through his cell phone camera and used it as his eyes
until the shadow went away. The shadow is about 10 feet away from him and
is the shape of a finger/body and about 5'8". The hallway is somewhat
well-lit.
I've heard other stories from friends that work there. One friend was also
on a call-out not to long ago and was finishing the closing the airport down
when the phone started ringing. As he was walking towards the phone, he heard
a voice right behind him say, "The phone is ringing". Also, the
Million Air manager's daughter who also works there has seen a middle-aged
man a couple of times when no one else is supposed to be there. A number of
people have died at or near the Provo airport in the last 10 or so years.
