Elevator




A few weeks ago as I was rambling on about Ogdens Historic Union Station I mentioned the elevator.  to tell you the truth I'm not exactly sure where the elevator came from. It has a big B on it.  I heard it came from the BenLomnd hotel when they remodled and I heard it came from the Boyles furniture store.  The elevator itself is kind of creepy.
One time while setting up for an investigation, one of our members loaded up the elevator with all the equiptment, I got in and we were ready to go, at the last possible second the other member jumped out of the elevator and said "OOOHHHH NOOOOOO!".   Obviously this person had no chivalry, because they didn't hold the door so I could get out as well, they just jumped out themselves.   The elevator began to move up and opened on the second floor, nothing had happened, I didn't feel any thing and we unloaded the elevator and got set up for the investigation.  I just didn't think it was right that one member felt something off about the elevator and only thought about getting their hide off and not worrying about any one else.  

I will continue to try to find out where that elevator came from.  I'd like to mention that sometimes that elevator has a mind of it's own and moves up or down when no one has touched the buttons.  More study needs to be done on that.

But Spring scream is almost upon us.  This is a chance for you to come on an investigation at the Historical Ogden Union Station and ride the elevator, have your picture taken by the window in Old Timers hall.
And maybe if your lucky you will hear the little girl laugh. . . . . . . Oh I haven't told you about that?  hmmm
Next time!


happy hauntings to you

Book


 Did I mention I am writing a book?  Several in fact, by writing I mean compiling.   I'm compiling several books on . . . . .drum roll please. . . . . Death.  Surprise!
Actually the first one is Historical.  The chronological account of deaths at Union Station from newspapers, books, life histories etc.   
   The next one will be about "Ghosts at the Station".   This is a compilation of stories from people who have experienced a paranormal moment or two at Ogden's Union Station.  I hope maybe we can connect a couple of the experiences with a confirmed death from the first book. I have stories from employees, volunteers, guests, paranormal investigators and I want to include your experience as well.
Any one that has had or thinks they have had a paranormal experience at Ogden Union Station is invited to share their story with me to add to this book.  Here is a form to get you started.
    The third book is  "Stories At The Station".  This book will be paranormal stories that you share with me that didn't happen at Union Station.   Every time we do an event at the station many people come up and tell us their paranormal experience that happened at their grandmas house or someone elses house, work, church, where ever.  I love these stories and I know you will too.  If you have had a paranormal experience at all, please share your story with me here or at any of the above links. 
Personal experiences are always so much more creepy than fictional ones.  
It may include other paranormal groups and their experiences. Also first hand paranormal experiences from some of the businesses in downtown Ogden and maybe other places in Utah.
    There are some very special stories I'm dying to tell you in this book.  Incredible experiences I have personally had or some one I know personally had  and YOU if you will share with me.
So again share your story, don't be shy, we won't think you are crazy I promise.  This is a safe place to share your story of your paranormal experience.  :-)
Ok, I'm done begging (for now).  Hope to hear from you soon.
