Downtown Salt Lake City Historic District
US Ghost Adventures runs city-branded ghost walks in dozens of U.S. cities under local names; in Salt Lake City the program is marketed as Salt Lake Ghosts, with the flagship walk sold under the title Salt Lake Ghost Tour: Salt, Spooks & Shadows. The tour meets on the bridge in the middle of the Gallivan Utah Center and covers about a mile of downtown Salt Lake City on foot over roughly an hour, without entering privately owned buildings.
The route draws on downtown Salt Lake City's civic and performance-hall history, touching on the historic Capitol Theatre, the Salt Lake City & County Building (a 19th-century civic hall), and the former Hotel Plandome. The operator's own site states its stories are drawn from historic reports, local folklore, and recorded sources.
Sources
The operator's preview material highlights the Capitol Theatre, which it ties to a reported usher-turned-phantom whose antics unnerve theater staff; the Salt Lake City & County Building, which the operator describes as a civic hall of justice where numerous spirits are said to linger; and the former Hotel Plandome, which the operator connects to a devoted, non-malevolent apparition still said to tend to the building.
All of this is the tour operator's own marketing and narrative material, not documented history independently verified for this listing; it is included here as a description of what the tour covers, not as an endorsement of any specific claim.
