The Great Cache Valley Ghost Tour

After some consideration and the backing of Utah State University’s Folklore Program, I have decided to create a ghost tour/walk for Logan, and WE NEED YOUR HELP!

I moved to Logan Utah in July of 2021. I hadn’t spent a great deal of time in Logan before moving, so I wasn’t overly familiar with the city or Cache Valley. All I knew was based upon assumption. The first three things that came to my mind when thinking about the city were farms, livestock, and Utah State University ― the latter being the reason for my move to the area ― because I had been accepted into the USU Folklore Masters Program. I have since fallen in love with Cache Valley, and I’m even considering staying after I finish my graduate schooling.

Some of you readers may remember from previous articles that I am the owner, creator, and operator of The Original Provo Utah Ghost Tour with Danny B. Stewart: , and The Provo Utah Faerie Walk.

These are walking tours that I built from scratch, utilizing only traditional fieldwork and story gathering practices. After some consideration and the backing of Utah State University’s Folklore Program, I have decided to create a ghost tour/walk for Logan, and WE NEED YOUR HELP!

This project is going to be my master’s project at USU. The final product will be a full tour/walk that will be owned and run by the Utah State University Folklore Program. I will also be writing a related book that can be purchased by the public and used as a guide of sorts, full of wonderful folklore and anomalies that I will eventually discover here in Cache Valley. My intent isn’t just to focus on Logan, but the surrounding cities as well, and I have already begun stumbling upon rumors about which I’m seeking more information.

I heard from one of my former English students that somewhere on the west side of Logan, someone found a bull or cow that had been impaled on a telephone pole. Have any of you heard this story? I have spoken to business owners along Main Street, and have learned of stories of “hidden treasure” in a local business, ghost kitties and “shadow people”, not to mention multiple UFO related stories that may or may-not be related to ominous “gigantic-bird” sightings in our area. There are local cattle mutilations that I’d like to get to the bottom of, and let us not forget sightings of “dog-men” in our fair city. I can’t go into a lot of detail relating to these because well … I don’t have a lot to go on … yet.

So I ask you, the reader, and Cache Valley locals to help me, help USU in the creation of this Ghost Tour, and help us build a new lasting tradition here in Cache Valley.

If you have knowledge of local folklore, ghost stories, “monster-lore,” or anything local and out of the ordinary, please contact Danny B. Stewart at stewiebalooie@hotmail.com, or you can message me at the Ghost Tour link posted above.

And in advance … Thank you!

Better Solutions Than Spending $2 Billion on a Gondola in Little Cottonwood Canyon

A challenge to the $2 billion taxpayer funded Little Cottonwood Canyon gondola is in the works. What else could that much money be used for?
Gondola Works was the successful PR and marketing campaign that dazzled UDOT and UTA board members and gained the support of enough Wasatch Front Regional Council members to approve the overall $26 billion plan.

The overriding questions are, Why should we be putting so much energy into a $26 billion plan that only focuses on transporting mostly elite skiers up to our mountains? How does this massive investment help average Utahns?
