The old Utah County Jail on State Street has had several reports of hauntings. The jail was built in 1950's as a hospital for long-term illness. It functioned as a jail starting in 1979 and was vacated in 1998 when a new county jail was completed. It has been empty since then.
There have been several reports of figures haunting the labyrinth-like building. Ghostly footsteps have been heard along with other unexplained noises such as loud banging. Lights have turned on and off by themselves. Doors are reported to open and close with no human help. The cast and crew of the 2012 horror movie “Inside” said they heard many unexplained sounds while filming in the jail.
"The basement in this place is quite havily haunted," Luke Goss said. "we've had lots of haunted activity, apparitions and banging. And one of the production designers was aone and literally heard 15 bangs, then it stopped, nothing. I hadn't been there yet, and I was like, "you know what, this story is already too intense. "We were shooting a scary movie in an alerady haunted prison." According to the official “Inside” facebook page, a studio employee and Provo City employee saw a ghostly face while scoping the jail.
