Haunted Utah: Ghosts of the Promised Land

For generations, Utah has been known as a place of faith, pioneers, and the search for a promised land. But beneath that history lies something far stranger. In this episode, I explore the eerie connection between early Mormon beliefs, frontier supernatural traditions, and some of Utah's most persistent ghost stories. From the Purple Lady of Salt Lake City to the haunted halls of the Great Saltair, these chilling accounts reveal a state where many believe the veil between the living and the dead has always been unusually thin. Are Utah's ghosts simply legends, or are they echoes of a spiritual worldview that never went away? You can find Edwin social media as @edwincov Have an idea you want to send?
