   The old Hardy House on main street is haunted by the ghost of a murderer   
   prisoner that the Sheriff allowed an angry mob to kidnap from holding and hang   
   on a nearby tree. The current resident is a 'Mystery Room' operator that had   
   you sign up as a group to    
   perform riddles and puzzles to 'move' through the rooms (it's not a big house   
   but it's pretty neat!). They even have a story that makes use of the ghostly   
   presence. The tree that was used for the hanging is said to be near the post   
   office and opera house    
   found by the round-a-bout on Main St

   The Seven Wives Inn, a complex of smallish houses all connected via a   
   courtyard off of Tabernacle, date back to the early 1900s and was the   
   homestead to a polygamist family. During a recent restoration (Maybe 10-20   
   years ago) bones were discovered in the    
   walls of some of the buildings, said to be of genetically deformed infants   
   that the inbreeding of the polygamy practicing mormons would be susceptible   
   to. The complex (courtyard, mainly) is currently used as an events center for   
   its bi-weekly 'George    
   Fest' but I'm not clear if any of the houses are actively used for anything

   The Bloomington Caves are a two-entrance cave complex, with total length   
   spanning over two miles. They are probably about 20 miles southwest of St.   
   George in the desert near the Nevada borderline and slightly above the I15   
   'gorge' corridor from Utah and    
   Arizona in Nevada.   
      
   It was a common legend spread by kids and teenagers that the caves are so   
   large (and they are, I've hiked a few of the routes) that they spanned all the   
   way to underneath St. George. This isn't the case but they are more difficult   
   to gain access to since    
   a few deaths in the last 30 years, the more renowned one being the death of a   
   under-equipped teenager visiting the caves as a part of a 'field trip' type   
   group meeting for a 'troubled youth' program based out of Illinois. They   
   require a 4WD vehicle and    
   clearance from the local BLM to actually physically get inside of (gated)   
      
   -   
      
   Not necessarily St. George, but the nearby city of Cedar City (40 miles away   
   or so) has an abandoned hospital (as of 8 years ago, was pretty easy to get   
   into for exploration). It remains today and was once used as a popular 'man   
   made' haunted house ran    
   by the local university in the late 90s, until a worker was either injured or   
   killed in the morgue part of the 'haunted house' and the haunted house was   
   discontinued and the building completely left to shambles. Personally have   
   been inside, all over, and    
   in every room and there is still a lot of equipment and patient records   
   everywhere.

   Before a company came in and made it 'The Cliff Inn', the abandoned hotel and   
   restaurant overlooking the city off of the secondary bluff is said to be   
   haunted by a employee from the 80s when the place went up in a fire while it   
   was a hotel from the time.   
      
   -   
      
   Skinwalker lore is thick in this area as practically all land north and west   
   of St. George is designated Paiute territory.  Gunlock Reservoir is prime   
   example as I've never traveled out to that place and NOT had car problems!   
   Grafton, UT (near Zion    
   National ark) is a ghost town with a graveyard full of Indian and white   
   american graves due to multiple clashes in the area. It was not made a ghost   
   town due to Indian conflict, but rather because their crops were repeatedly   
   wiped out due to overflow    
   flooding from the Virgin River.   
      
   -   
      
   'Black Rock Road', the first exit past the Arizona borderline as you travel   
   south on I15, only 5 miles from St. George, is an access exit to a southern   
   epsom mine. There are abandoned building by the exit that are said to be   
   brothels from the 70s and 80s    
   for the miners. The mine is still active but these building are shut and there   
   have been numerous bodies found around here as people from nearby Vegas will   
   drop them here. They are nearby to the Bloomington Cave and western desert   
   dirt road complex.
