My special guest is Kristen Clay who's here to discuss all things haunted in Salt Lake City. Get her book Haunted Salt Lake City on Amazon.
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.

0:00.0 | Hi there, I'm K-Town, and on this edition of Mysterious Radio. |
0:04.6 | Well, um, I was living in Hawaii, and I got involved with the ghost towards |
0:34.4 | there, but then something happened in a kind of dissolved, but they're back now, back in business. |
0:41.9 | But when I moved to Utah, I was trying to find a venue for professional storytellers, |
0:48.3 | so that we had somewhere where we could have continuous income, and I thought, well, why not |
0:54.4 | do a ghost tour? And to be honest, when I first started the ghost tours, I wasn't 100% sure |
1:01.6 | how much I believed in the ghosts. And it was along till I had my first ghostly experience, |
1:07.9 | and after that, I realized, oh, now I always, I never thought anybody was lying when they told me |
1:14.0 | their stories. I would walk into buildings and restaurants and say, hey, um, tell us about the ghost |
1:20.9 | in your building, or have you experienced the ghost in your building? And a lot of them would say, |
1:26.4 | oh, oh, what? There's ghosts in this building? So of course there is. |
1:31.9 | After that, they would be like, they'd start thinking about it, and then they're, oh, wait, |
1:36.4 | this happened, and that happened, and this. And so we just collected so many stories, we were able |
1:42.4 | to start a ghost tour. And that was 21 years ago in Salt Lake City, and 20 years ago in |
1:49.7 | Ogden. No, it's 2023. So we started those in 2021. And by the third year, we had alternate routes |
1:58.8 | and multiple tours, because the stories just grew. People would share with us their experiences |
2:05.7 | and their stories, and we'd investigate further, and it has been a blast. And now not only am I |
2:13.0 | strong believer in the paranormal, I've experienced many of the ghosts myself, and I consider some of |
2:19.1 | those ghosts, my friend. I'll walk into one building and say, I may see, I'm here. |
2:26.0 | Macy doesn't follow you. She doesn't. She stays there. I've had a coaster to follow me home, |
2:31.7 | and I've just said, hey, this is my house. You need to go back where you were. |
2:38.4 | And they do. Okay, see, we'll have to talk about that. See, I always wonder that, and I wonder |
