The state's historical society is housed in a former railroad station full of ghosts. The Denver & Rio Grande Railroad Depot, built in 1910, was considered to be haunted by the 1940s. The ghost of a black-haired lady wearing an old- fashioned purple dress haunts the ladies room and the Rio Grande Cafe inside the depot. She was struck by a train in the station when she tried to retrieve an engagement ring her boyfriend had thrown on the tracks. In 1980, two people heard footsteps and saw the ghost of a man on the ground floor. An invisible presence who walks the balcony and lobby in the late evening hours has been detected by security officers. Once, a whole group of ghosts having a party in the basement of the building was interrupted by a security guard getting off the elevator.
Christine Guston, a secretary at the society's library, keeps track of the ghost reports. Utah State Historical Society, 300 Rio Grande Street, Salt Lake City, UT 84101. Phone: 801-533-5755

-SALT LAKE CITY
Old Deseret
Visitors and guides at this former settlement have reported dozens of ghostly encounters in recent years. The buildings were part of the original colony established by Brigham Young, who led Mormons west after their leader, Joseph Smith, was murdered by an Illinois mob in 1844. Before Brigham Young's forest farmhouse was moved to the historical park, his ghost haunted his residence for fifteen years. After it was moved, the house was taken over by his nineteenth wife, Ann Eliza Webb. Her petite apparition, dressed in black, is seen peering out of the dining-room window of the house. After Ann Eliza divorced Young, she toured the country denouncing him and the Mormon Church. At nearby Jewkes-Draper Home, the ghostly sounds of children at a party are heard, and the apparition of Mary Fielding Smith has been observed many times standing in the doorway of Smith House. Sometimes Mrs. Smith is seen wagging her finger angrily, perhaps because her house was set facing the wrong way when it was moved to the park
