Ben Lomond Hotel is located North of Salt Lke City in Ogden, Utah.
Surrounded by the natural beauty of Utah and noted for its Italian Renaissance Revival architecture, the Bigelow Hotel has a long history of spooky rumours, as well as legends of ghostly guests including a mother and son who decided to stay together long after death.
Legend tells that the hotel was used as a boarding house. During the Prohibition Era, a lot of people came together to make a tunnel that could be used for smuggling alcohol. It was not unusual to find prostitutes and other unscrupulous characters to go in and out of the hotel. One of the most popular ghosts associated with the hotel is that of a mother and son. One incident occurred in room 1102. A lady was spending her honeymoon and on the night of her wedding, she drowned in the tub. Guests who have checked in the room have reported several unusual events. Water in the tub runs by itself and they felt that they were being pushed by an unseen hand.
After his mother died, the bride’s son came to the hotel to collect his mother’s personal belongings. He stayed in the room just beside where his mother passed. He became severely depressed over what happened to his mother that he decided to take his own life. Guests have reported hearing someone talking in the room. Others have reported seeing an apparition.
The elevators in the Bigelow Hotel have been known to act in a very odd manner. They move on their own regularly, as spirits travel throughout the hotel in the dead of night. They tend to move randomly to different floors with no pattern. They’ve been checked by lift engineers on numerous occasions and no fault can ever be found.
