If you’re looking for a thrilling, spine-chilling haunted attraction this month, Utah certainly has plenty to choose from. But did you know that some of our haunted houses are said to be actually haunted by more than just actors? Grimm’s Ghost Tours offers a tour through one of Utah’s most haunted houses every season, and if you love a good thrill, you might want to check this out!
Fear Factory is one of Utah's scariest haunted houses, and it's not for the faint of heart. Before it was purchased in 2010 and turned into a Halloween attraction, it was the Portland Cement Company, and over the years, several people died in industrial accidents here.
One man got his shirt sleeve caught in a machine and was slowly pulled into it; another fell from the walkway above the plant into a boiling vat of potash. These horrific deaths and others are said to result in hauntings that visitors experience long after the actors have gone home for the night.
Grimm Ghost Tours offers tours of Fear Factory to give you an inside look at this haunted attraction that's really haunted. Fear Factory is located at 666 W. 800 S., Salt Lake City, UT 84104.
You'll start with a brief orientation, and receive an EMF detector to use during the tour. The EMF (electro-magnetic frequency) detector is one way that ghost hunters identify paranormal activity.
During the tour, you'll hear the stories about the men who died here in the late 1800s, and the tales that are told about their spirits that haunt the factory even now.
This exclusive tour gives you access to other parts of the factory, and you'll feel a tingle in your spine as you walk through places that many claim to actually be haunted.
Over the years, visitors to the factory have witnessed many unexplained phenomena. Actors who work in the haunted attraction during the Halloween season often report things they can't explain, and the owners of the building are convinced that it contains many spirits of people who have died here in the most horrible manner.
What do you think? Is Fear Factory really haunted? Take the tour with Grimm Ghost Tours and find out! Tours run throughout October, with five tours offered each Monday night.
