Lyric Theater
Founded in 1913 this old theater once entertained well known performers but soon fell into disrepair and sat dormaint for years until renovated by Utah State University. One night while rehearsing for an upcoming production of Hamlet the proffesor for the theatrical department was playing Hamlet and heard giggling from the balcony, others saw a man dressed in Shakspearean garb and wearing a fools cap. The ghosts clothing looked like that of a grave digger so the proffesor took a original program from 1913 and looked up the man that played that part a Mr. Everett Jones so ever since the entity has been known as Everett, and he has been making his presence known for the past 20 years. "I haev heard a number of things, you sense somebody moving in the place but nobody's there, or you just sense a presence" the proffesor said. A woman has also had some run ins with Everett, while her husband and another man rehearsed onstage she was taking notes for the proffesor, they had gotten done with the rehearsal her husband approched her and asked "did you see that man in black he was distracting me, and he walked around watched them rehearse and sat down three seats behind you" "but I didn't see anyone" she replied. Other times you can hear Everett pacing, rattling doors, a dark haired man with a medium build has been seen in areas surrounding the old boiler room (which is the only room that still has the old dirt floor), and a telltale sign Everett is around is when the chandelier starts to shake

According to local lore the nunery was home to many local nuns one of which was going to have a baby, the head nun didn't know that this particular nun was pregnant until she had the baby at the Nunnery, the head nun was irrate and told the nun she would kill the baby. So fearing for her newborns life she tried to escape the Nunnery late on night but the head nun gave chase through the forest. The nun was terrified of what the hed nun would do to her and her child so with the head nun on her tale she hid her baby under some leaves and brush and continued to run. Later when she felt like it was safe she went back to the spot where she hid her baby but it wasn't there. Now not knowing what to do she walked back to the Nunnery only to find her child floating face down in the pool, the sight of this made the nun go crazy and she commited suicide at the side of the pool so she could be with her child.

Ogden City Cemetary
This Cemetary has more than one legend, and I am sure it is haunted. It is built on somewhat of a hill and as story goes one year there was alot of rain and it washed away some of the hill, and some graves slide out of there resting places and had to be relocated. - The first legend is of a wich whom is buried in a plot with her family, it is on the west most edge of the cemetary and has a small wrought iron fence around it. People have reported seeing odd things such as balls of light and shadows moving through the tomb stones. this and all cemetaries in Ogden are now off limits to the public after dark because of the numerous amount of teenagers that would go to this site and get drunk waiting to see things. I have even heard stories from the sexton that they have caught people doing some kind of sacrifices of live animals on the site of this grave. No wonder this spirit not at rest. The second legend is of a statue of a soldier that stands in the center of the park and I believe it is in rememberance of fallen soldiers or police officers, but as rumor has it he has been known to move the position of his gun he is holding and also his head looks as if it follows you when you walk through the vicinity. also I have a statement from someone saying they were driving through the cemetary at night and came upon this statue so they got out looked around at the stones and these "green balls of light" started following them through the trees.
