Itinerary
The Frank E. Moss Federal Courthouse in Salt Lake City, completed in 1905, originally served as a post office and courthouse. The building is steeped in history, with tales of the stern Judge Ritter who presided there, and lingering ghostly presences that some say still echo through its halls, adding a chilling aura to this historic site.
The Holiday Inn Express in Salt Lake City, while presenting a welcoming facade, conceals a disturbing past that reflects some of Utah's darker history. Despite multiple remodels over the years, the hotel's history is marred by unsettling events, and rumors of paranormal activity have emerged, adding an eerie undertone to its otherwise inviting atmosphere.
Constructed in 1913 and originally known as The Orpheum Theater, the Capitol Theater was a vibrant venue for live vaudeville performances during the early 20th century. Today, it is renowned among paranormal enthusiasts for its haunting legends, particularly the ghost of Dickie Duffin, whose lingering presence adds an intriguing and eerie dimension to this historic theater.
The Walker Center in Salt Lake City, the last vestige of the Walker family's influential legacy, is a towering skyscraper with a storied past. Having served various functions—from a bank and radio transmitting station to a weather tower—its multifaceted history has given rise to ghostly legends and eerie occurrences, adding a mysterious allure to this architectural landmark.
The Judge Building in downtown Salt Lake City, once renowned for its intricate craftsmanship and architectural elegance, has shifted its reputation to a more somber note. Today, it is infamously associated with the tragic death of Steven Christensen, a high-profile case that has cast a shadow over the building, making it a focal point for those intrigued by its haunting history and the dark events that unfolded within its walls.
Whiskey Street in Salt Lake City, named for its historic abundance of taverns, saloons, and breweries from the late 1800s, reflects the vibrant, yet turbulent past of the area. Today, the Whiskey Street Cocktails & Dining venue honors this legacy but is also notorious as one of the most haunted buildings in downtown Salt Lake City, where patrons and staff frequently encounter eerie phenomena and ghostly presences linked to its storied past.

A ghost tour may not be the first activity that comes to mind when you visit Salt Lake City- I certainly wasn't expecting to find one when I was researching things to do near my hotel. So glad I found this one though! We had a great time with Molly- a fun storyteller with a lot of knowledge about the ghosts that haunt this city! We had the perfect sized tour group which gave us plenty of time to ask questions and we didn't feel like we were being rushed from one location to the next. At several locations we could sense the haunted energy immediately. I highly recommend booking this tour with Molly!
