Summary

Theaters have always shared a special place in history. We crave to be entertained and many of us desire to entertain. Theaters are a place of strong emotions, both those played out by actors and those evoked in the audience. Paranormal activity feeds off of those kinds of emotions. The Capitol Theater was built in the center of Salt Lake City and has entertained Utahans for more than a hundred years. Tragedy has been a part of the Capitol Theater's history as well and that has helped add to the theater's reputation as being a haunted location. Join us as we explore the history and hauntings of the Capitol Theater! The Moment in Oddity is by Bob Sherfield and features the Spruce Goose and This Day in History is by Jessica Bell and features the birth of Belle Boyd. This location was suggested by listener Sue Story and the Research Assistant was Ren Davenport.

0:54.3	Ghost Tours for the Theater of the Mind. I am your host Diane and this is Denise and on today's
0:59.5	episode we're going to Utah to Salt Lake City. I believe this is the first time we've ever been here

1:13.4	Denise, this is one of those locations that we don't have a whole lot of history behind the actual

1:19.4	So we're going to go down some rabbit holes because otherwise we'd be giving you a 10 minute episode
1:23.6	which wouldn't be much fun for you guys and one of the interesting rabbit holes
1:27.2	that I wanted to go down Denise is what is one of the things that Salt Lake City is
1:31.5	really known for besides the Great Salt Lake they're known of the beliefs that Mormons have when it comes to ghosts because I was not real familiar with that
1:46.8	It's going to be a generalization. It's not that every Mormon believes this way just like all Christians don't believe the same way, all pagans don't believe the same way, at least what the church teaches about ghosts. We'll put it that way.
