It's Weirdster weekend! Happy National Utah Day! You know that means Melissa has a haunted story for you coming from the Beehive state! Apparently, Salt Lake City has many haunted spots which really makes you wonder, what's going on there?! The place we're diving into today is, a very old and now very paranormally active military fort, Fort Douglas. The first volunteer troops came to Fort Douglas in 1862 to keep an eye on those troublesome Mormons that were threatening to the government. The conditions were horrendous, food rations were small, infighting was common, and sadly, suicide rates were high. The Fort Douglas soldiers entered many bloody battles and participated in every major war since then. Now, Fort Douglas serves as a military museum on the property of the University of Utah and visitors come for more than a lesson. They come for the ghosts! Particularly the famous and most active spirit, Clem, who makes himself known with loud footsteps and is seen as an apparition wearing a blue post-Civil War uniform. Children spirits play on the grounds and the Fort Douglas Cemetery is always active with voices and moving shadow figures.
