Summary
In tonight's dead letterβ¦ our listener Daniel moves into a freshly built ranch house in the Salt Lake Valley back in 2011 β a house barely five years old, no tragic past, nothing "old and storied" about it. The first odd thing he notices is that every doorknob in the basement is on backwards, rigged to lock someone in from the outside. He's sixteen, he's got the whole basement to himself, and from the very first night down there he can't shake the feeling that he's being watched. Then one night around eleven, three sharp knocks land on the wall right behind his head β and that's only the start.Β

| 1:19.2 | and not to the older part of town, which I've been to and is amazing, but to a part of town |
| 1:23.6 | with a home, in this case anyway, that was built just 20 years ago, 2006. |
| 1:28.6 | When were you in Salt Lake City, sir? |
| 1:31.8 | Back when I, in my former career in advertising, I went there frequently because I had some |
| 1:36.9 | clients in the area and also a very good friend who lived there at the time and lives there |
| 1:40.9 | once again now. |
| 1:42.3 | And was there anything odd about it? |
| 1:44.3 | I don't know. It just, everything feels kind of and clean. And, you know, it's kind of like the purgatory, the version of purgatory that you see in the movie defending your life. Well, that's lovely. Very nice malls. And yes, unfortunately, you do have to have money. And defending your life, you didn't need any money. Right. That's right. And you could use any pies as you wanted. But this is what's interesting to me about the story from the start. Everybody has the assumption that, oh, it has to be an old story to old town, you know, Charleston. Yes. And an old jailer, an infirmary there or someplace where there was trauma, a Civil War battlefield. But you really don't. As I always say, the assumption is that, that, oh, you know, I always go to my friend who said, you know, my Honda's not haunted. You don't want to get a couple of EBPs there. It's like, well, it doesn't matter. They're floating around everywhere. If you were a spirit, why wouldn't you be just floating around wherever you pleased? I think that's the same. But here, there are some towns, I do believe that are more hospitable to these types of activities, spirit-wise, or maybe even thin places or portals. And in this case, we're going to talk about a specific place in a house. But yeah, just in Salt Lake City itself, has it earned that reputation? It's like, well, I don't think it needs to. It doesn't have to be steeped in spooky history. Yeah, people just, they see something old-fashioned with a big porch and gothic columns or whatever. |
| 3:08.0 | It's, that's not always how it goes. |
| 3:09.9 | Yeah. |
| 3:10.3 | Right. |
