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.

He startled the girl since she hadn't heard the front door to the cafe open. He asked for some dinner rolls. She wrote down his order, then looked up to ask if he wanted anything else, but he was gone. She asked everyone in the restaurant if they had seen the man leave or come in, but nobody had. In the basement of the Cafe is the Idle Isle Candy Company. It is here that the candy factory is located. A worker was mixing ingredients one day when she felt a hand push her shoulder, causing her to step back. She turned but saw nobody.

The haunting is not harmful, just unsettling. Running feet, indistinct whispering, unintelligible talking at a distance and footsteps are heard. No reports of missing or moving objects. A few instances of very loud crashes, like a wall full of items fell to the floor. Upon investigation, nothing is found. One photographer saw a fleeting figure run out of the old developing room, across the hallway and into a cinder block wall. Figure was tall, black pants, white shirt and dark hair. Matches description of a photographer who died of natural causes at home years ago. Speculation that he's back, because he enjoyed working there so much. All activity occurs in the front half of the building, which is the oldest. An addition was built in the early 1980s, doubling the size of the building. No activity reported in this new addition. The older, front portion of the building is scheduled to be refurbished in the near future. This will mean tearing out some walls, redoing the rooms and a major makeover. How this will affect the current strange activity remains unknown.

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

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. -Mike Marino

Salt Lake City - This is the place state park:
It has a compilation of historical buildings, some original some reproductions ("repop's") spanning from 1847 to the early 1900's.

The first is the repop of the Social Hall from downtown Salt Lake City. Dancing and singing can be heard occasionally from the second floor, along with the smells of cooking coming from the kitchen.
Second, the historical SLC blacksmiths shop has a mischievous little ghost that likes to leave things leaning against the INSIDE of the security door.

When he comes in the next morning, things will be leaning against the inside of the door he exited from the previous night.

Another homeowner can't go down in her basement alone without getting all spooked out, and her dogs won't go near it. There is a very old tree that was going to be removed, but when it became apparent that it was going to stay most of the phenomena quieted down.
