Summary

The Ben Lomond Hotel is now known as the Bigelow Hotel and Residences and is located in the historic downtown of Ogden, Utah. When we did our original episode in 2016, this was one of the last three “Grand Hotels” in Utah that still operated as a hotel. That ended in 2019 when the building was reopened as apartments. Built in the latter part of the Victorian Era, the hotel has changed over time. Ogden was a major railroad junction and brought people from all over. And while a hotel that is now residences is meant to be a place of comfort, the Bigelow-Ben Lomond seems to be a place of death and this has lead to stories of strange happenings. Join us as we explore the history and hauntings of the Bigelow-Ben Lomond Hotel.
