Nestled in the unforgiving Skull Valley, Utah, the ghost town of Iosepa tells an incredible story of perseverance, faith, and resilience. In the late 19th century, a group of Polynesian pioneers left the lush landscapes of Hawai’i to build a new life in the western desert. Against all odds, they thrived, creating a community that once won Utah’s award for best-kept town. But by 1917, Iosepa was abandoned. What led to its demise? Why did these settlers leave behind everything they built? And what remains of Iosepa today? Join us on Twisted Tales by Profiling Evil as we uncover the forgotten history of Iosepa, a once-thriving Polynesian Mormon settlement, now lost to time.
