The Rio Grande Depot is most certainly haunted by several spirits, but the most famous is the Purple Lady. This beautiful woman is wearing a dark purple hat and dress from the early 1900s and is seen in the women’s bathroom and balcony area. She apparently was killed at the depot when she and her fiance got into a fight. He threw her ring down onto the tracks, and she was hit and killed by an oncoming train as she ran down to retrieve it.

The Salt Lake City Cemetery is so old that it’s had plenty of time to collect unhappy spirits who’ve failed to move on to the afterlife. “Emo” will appear to you if you light a candle, circle his crypt three times, and then peer into it. The ghost of a small child has been seen here and is sometimes heard sobbing late at night. Click here to learn more about this spooky place in Utah.

Fort Douglas was the site of several suicides and murders in its early years between 1896 and 1901, and some of those spirits may haunt the cemetery and fort museum today. The ghost most often seen is the one nicknamed “Clem,” who is a short, stocky man with a beard, wearing a Civil War-era uniform. He seems happy enough but tends to startle museum staff when he shows up unexpectedly. Learn more about this haunted place in Utah here.

If you’ve ever visited This Is The Place Monument, you’ve seen Brigham Young’s distinctive pink farmhouse. It’s said to be haunted by several spirits including two of Brigham’s wives — Ann Eliza Webb and Lucy Ann Decker. Ann was not a happy polygamist (in fact, she later left the church and wrote a scathing memoir about her experience). She particularly hated the noise that the children made running around the porch. She shows up in one of the upper bedrooms. Lucy is supposedly a kindly spirit who is often witnessed in the kitchen during tours. Staff and visitors have also claimed to see Brigham Young himself at the house.

Have you ever visited Timpanogos Cave for a tour? As part of the tour, they always turn off the lights for a minute to show you just how dark the cave is. Imagine if you saw floating orbs of light and heard moaning sounds? Park visitors and staff claim to have heard both inside this beautiful cave.
