WIZARD OF OZ PHOBIA GARDEN!!!

Cheryl Engh is a business owner in Bountiful, Utah. She is a Gardener at heart! She loves her job and that she own her own business....

HOWEVER!!!!!

Ever since she was a little girl...THE WIZARD OF OZ and everything about it WAS HER PHOBIA!!!!! She stated that anything to do with the land of OZ scared her to death. She had this fear...even till NOW!!!

So in order to be comfortable with her fears...she gave her business garden a Wizard of Oz theme!!!

She still says it kind of freaks her out when she comes to work each day, but she is more at peace with the terror that is the Wizard of Oz.

During Halloween, this garden becomes a pumpkin patch to truly become a Haunted Oz!!

The Garden is located on 500 S. in Bountiful, Utah

HAUNTED DEES RESTAURANT - Bountiful Utah!!!


The story goes as follows.....

Once in the early 80's there was an employee named George.

The story varies from here. Here are the variables:

1. George was shot by another employee.
2. George hung himself.
3. George was locked in a chicken coup in the basement.
4. George was hit by a car in front of the restaurant.
5. George was poisoned by the cooks.

Here is the story I like the most.

George worked his way up from dishwasher to server and was in line to be cashier. During the interview process the other competitors for the position lured him down in the basement prior to his interview. They locked him in the chicken coup in the basement (there is a chicken coup in the basement). No matter how loud and long George screamed...no one could hear him. George eventually died in the basement.

Since then, George sightings are daily. At night on the Surveillance Cameras you can see George wander the restaurant and eventually work his way over to the position he always wanted....cashier.

Now I have seen the tapes, it really does look like a ghost wandering the restaurant! So maybe one of the above stories could be true????

Go see for yourself and remember to ask about George.

Dee's is located on 55 W 500 S, Bountiful, UT

Shipwrecked boats in the Great Salt Lake.

THE GREAT SALT LAKE SHIPWRECKS!!!

During the hay days of Saltair and the age of the railroads prominence in Utah, tug boats were common place throughout the Great Salt Lake.

The Union Pacific decided to abandon its main wooden trussle bridge from Ogden to Tooele across the lake. A more secure rock and gravel bridge was to be constructed.

Two tugboats and a ferry were left to take customers and assist travelers across the short cut to Tooele / Ogden.
One night a storm came across the Great Salt Lake and pulled the two tug boats from their anchors. The tugboats went missing in action as if some sort of Salt Lake Triangle sucked them up into oblivion.

As the dirt tracks began to be built the engineers ran into a problem, the rocks were not settling correctly. They dove into the whole 15 feet deep water (Great Salt Lake is only 20 feet deep) and discovered the two missing tugboats.

Rather than pull them up, the workers decided to just build around them. As the lake has receded over time, you can now see the boats. Unfortunately you can't get to the boats or the old wooden trussles without the assistance of a boat.

So if you can get a boat...I will tell you the secret on how to find these boats. But Beware....maybe there is a Great Salt Lake Triangle!!!!
