The McCune mansion

Thank you for listening to Cryptid Hantings.Episode SummaryIn this episode of Cryptid Hauntings, Mike, Chris, Pam, and Mark explore the history and reported hauntings of the McCune Mansion in Salt Lake City. They begin with the fascinating background of Alfred W. McCune—a railroad builder, mine operator, and politician—and his wife Elizabeth, a prominent suffragist and church leader, before diving into the mansion’s extravagant $1 million construction in 1901. The home later served as a music school, a BYU extension center, a dance academy, and eventually became a private event venue after restoration from tornado damage in 1999. Listeners hear chilling reports of a young girl seen dancing in the third-floor ballroom, footprints appearing mysteriously, mirrors acting as portals, and spirits moving objects throughout the house. The episode closes by questioning whether tragedy, renovation, natural disaster, or echoes of the past may have awakened the mansion’s lingering spirits.Join the CommunitySend your own ghost story for a Listener TaleEmail: [email protected] Instagram: cryptidhauntingsYouTube: @cryptidhauntings TikTok: @cryptid.hauntings CreditsHost: Michael, Chris, Mark, and Pam Gardner Writer: Chris Gardner Editor: Pam Gardner Special Thanks: Thank you Tonya for letting us take over the basement of your home.
