Peter Sinks: One of The Coldest Temperatures Ever in The United States Recorded Near Logan, Utah

October 17, 2022 by Karen Painter Leave a Comment

One of the coldest temperatures ever recorded in the lower United States happened in a place called Peter Sinks, near Logan, Utah.

A Ghost Plays Piano in the Old Mormon Church in the Middle of Night

October 28, 2021 by David E. Jensen Leave a Comment

Graveyards are notoriously scary places, especially after dark, and the same is true of old church houses. Churches, despite being houses of God, can also attract opposing forces, making them concentrated gathering points for both good and evil.  My first experience with the darker side of churches came right after high school. After taking a vocational floor covering class … [Read more...]

Haunted Museum in Fairview, Utah: Utah Ghost Hunter Registers Voices From the Other Side

October 27, 2021 by Jennifer Jones Leave a Comment

There is something to be said about big old buildings, especially ones that have lived more than one life, and as in the case of the Fairview Museum of Art & History, are now filled with relics of a different era. However, being old does not automatically mean that a building is haunted. While I don’t spend every weekend running around the state investigating haunted … [Read more...]

Strange Sightings In Utah County: Don’t Walk Alone After Dark

October 26, 2021 by Danny B. Stewart Leave a Comment

I have spent my entire life collecting tales about the weird and mysterious elements of Utah — stories that at first seem completely unbelievable, but sometimes, just sometimes, there ends up being more of a foundation of truth than we’d like to admit. (See my article about The Giant Flying Manta Ray of Provo for evidence of this.) Since 2011, I have been documenting sightings … [Read more...]

What is 10’ tall polished, made of a steel-like metal alloy, triangular and firmly planted into a canyon somewhere in Southeastern Utah?  It’s a monolith that is now making national headlines. Two men working for the Utah Department of Public Safety were flying a helicopter to count sheep in the … [Read more...]

Neat Places to Explore - If You Can Get In As if Utah doesn’t have an endless supply of natural landscapes and historic sites to discover, the state is also packed with mysterious underground wonders just begging to be explored ― if you can only get into them.

  When considering the greatest archaeological treasures and the sophistication of the former ancient inhabitants of Utah, the small town of Parowan may not come to mind. But in Southern Utah there is a mysterious place known for its sliding sunsets, moon maps, and a strange outcropping of rocks known as the Overseer. Welcome to the Parowan Gap.

Aliens at Dugway Proving Ground: Spaceships taking off from “the new Area 51”?

April 18, 2018 by Richard Markosian Leave a Comment

As home to 1,400 residents, you might call Dugway Proving Ground the ultimate gated community. There are an estimated 300 miles of roads around Dugway, but residents have clearance to only a fraction of the secret areas surrounding this mysterious place in Utah’s west desert. Conspiracy theorists claim that Dugway is the “New Area 51”, and that US Government secret programs … [Read more...]
