I'm a lifelong Utah resident, and I have attended many performances at the Capitol Theater. I've never heard about this haunting before. I can't imagine it's something they like to advertise. Thanks for the local story!
I have been to the capitol theater and I saw a phantom during my visit. Phantom of the opera, to be precise. Keep up the great content. Your voice is amazing.
The following is part of an article I found from August 21, 2012. It says not to publish it anywhere, so I didn't retype it in its entirety, I just took the interesting parts and put them here: Dave Murphy, a Salt Lake County sheriff's deputy who worked security in the building, said he thought stories of hauntings were, well, "a load of crap" until he "saw dark shadows moving through walls." He recalled hearing doors slam with such force that windows vibrated when there was nobody in the building with him. "I saw a woman dressed in early 1900s clothes," Murphy said. "She walked right past me as I sat in the control room. My jaw dropped." Among those interviewed is Blair Fuller, the administrative and fiscal manager of the Salt Lake County Center for the Arts, who first experienced something otherworldly in the building in 1997. While working late at night, he found the elevator operating on its own, and overhead file doors swinging open about two or three inches, and then slamming shut. Still, he never felt menaced. "In my experience, it's almost like a teenager trying to get some attention," Fuller said. "And once you acknowledge that, it stops. But it took me an hour-and-a-half to get to that point." As it turns out, a 17-year-old usher was killed in a fire at the theater back in 1947, and Fuller suspects it might be his ghost haunting the theater. Murphy, on the other hand, had "menacing" encounters. "Toward the end, they wanted me out of that building for whatever reason," he said. At one point he was "attacked" by the black shadows. "It felt just like I got a punch in the chest. Literally, I could not talk," he said. "Whatever it was, it had the power to shut me up." Both men say they've talked to dozens of others who have encountered something supernatural. "I'd heard stories, but until it happens to you there is that disbelief," Fuller said. "As soon as it happens to you, there's a complete shift of attitude." Fuller still works down the hall from a men's room that's a center of paranormal encounters. "Let me give you some tips," Lewis advises Capitol Theatre patrons. "Stay away from the men's room on the third floor. Don't go down to the basement. And whatever you do, don't get on an elevator." I hope you found this as interesting as I did. Thank you for the video, it was properly terrifying!
Now their talking about tearing it down. Cause we need more effing apartments or condos, Screw these 100+ year old buildings we need MONEY 💰. Ruining Ogden as well as slc too I’m sure.

You’re welcome, Kieth! Thank you!

Thanks for saying so!
The fact that the figure knew there was a camera and to fly across its view is CREEPY. It knew it was being watched.
I can listen to your storytelling for hrs ❤ I like how you tell them.😊

I love hearing this story from a different perspective/ story teller I like your narration more

MrBallen does a good take on this but fair fella enjoyed liu
they did a episode on the Capitol Theater on “Paranormal Witness” on SYFY it was awesome
Use to very unsafely sneak into this place at night as a youngin, wish there was more photos of the place when it was abandoned
Now their talking about tearing it down. Cause we need more effing apartments or condos,
Screw these 100+ year old buildings we need MONEY 💰. Ruining Ogden as well as slc too I’m sure.
