Haunted Salt Lake City
Haunted Salt Lake City | Laurie Allen, Cassie Ashton, Kristen Clay, Nannette Watts
2 posts | 1 to read
Uncovering ghost stories in Salt Lake City leads to a spooky mixture of legend, lore and local history. A young female apparition likes to surprise guests of the McCune Mansion by leaping from a mirror. Believed to be stationed at Fort Douglas, a Civil War vet named Clem still teases female visitors. Staff at the historic Devereaux Mansion, once a major social center, relented in their vain nightly attempts to keep the lights off and let the spirits continue their eternal party. And nuns of the Sisters of the Holy Cross still visit patients in the hospital they established. The guides of Story Tours' Salt Lake City Ghost Tour reveal characters who just can't seem to leave the valley.

I visit a haunted site every year at Halloween. I love reading the old stories and tracing what used to be. This site, if I remember correctly, had to do with Pioneer times and a date gone wrong. It was fun to find this marker in the middle of the street!

And finally, my first post for Non-Fic November!

Today, my kids and I visited the site of what used to be the “lone cedar tree” (hotly contested) in Salt Lake Valley. It was known as “The Kissing Tree,” and legend has it a very lucky young man took a gorgeous girl in a lavender dress to it after a dance in the mid-1800‘s. Unfortunately, her neighbors told him the next day she‘d died 10 years earlier. She still returned his coat.
