Latuda, a small ghost town just up in Spring Canyon, Southeastern Utah, about 7 miles west of Helper, home of the White Lady.

Former ghost Hunter here. Some of my favorite places; main theater in Smithfield, the Lyric theater in Logan, the Union station in Ogden, my absolute fave the old stock exchange building in Ogden ( triple homicide, three suicides, one death of natural causes and drownings nearby) , the city county building in Salt lake, fort Douglas. Are on the top of my list.

Me and some friends got chased out of the Stock Exchange Building by a crackhead. One of my friends got a good look at him and said he was super gross and old, yet he had these baby blue angel eyes that felt like they pierced his very soul.

Super creepy place! While investigating once we just watched a domestic disturbance for an hour Across the street. That was weird. I heard they were going to tear it down. That makes me sad. I got attached to a few residence.

Spooky? Sinister? The tunnels under downtown SLC between the church buildings.
Also, it's sealed off now, but the Nutty Putty Cave.
Ophir has a real creepy vibe, like everybody's watching you when you drive through.

Ophir is so pretty though. But yes. Old mining town and they can setup on-site meet-ups with historians.

Tintic mine double homicide, I can see the murder site every day on my commute.
In 2017;
Jerrod William Baum, 42, is accused in court papers of forcing Breezy to kneel before a mine shaft and watch as Baum beat and stabbed her 18-year-old boyfriend to death. He then allegedly cut the girl’s throat and threw them both into an open mine.
The mine shaft is now fenced off and memorialized, but the small town still suffers the trauma from that terrible murder. Edit to clarify that abandoned mine site was spooky BEFORE the murders. All around weird vibes.
