Your weird friends need a hypothetical trip - why not join? This week, Alex and Christie pack their bags and head over to Ogden, Utah and learn more about a local hotel with a long history... of name changes. The former Reed hotel/Bigelow hotel/ Ben Lomond hotel seem to have a reported consistent paranormal theme throughout the years, despite the changes. Tune in to hear the "ghost-lore" and reported accidents that took place on the site, along with what really makes this one of Ogden's most haunted locations. Need a distraction? We got you. Podcast
