Haunted Benson Grist Mill Ghost Hunts
Venture into the shadows of Utah’s past with an electrifying ghost hunt at the Benson Grist Mill. Nestled between the rugged Cedar Mountains and the vast expanse of The Great Salt Lake Desert, this towering relic of pioneer times stands as a testament to the intense and frequent paranormal phenomena that envelop its wood and brick facade.
Constructed in 1854 under the directive of LDS Apostle Ezra Taft Benson, the grist mill emerged as a cornerstone for the early settlers of Tooele Valley. Despite its initial purpose to grind meal for pioneer families, the mill’s later years saw abandonment and decay until its restoration in the late 1980s. Now listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places, the mill’s eerie silence is broken by whispers of the past, making it one of Tooele County’s most foreboding landmarks.
The Paranormal
Prepare to confront the mill’s resident spirits, from the playful to the malevolent. Reports of paranormal activity include:
- Shadowy figures darting through the mill’s four stories.
- Poltergeist activity that disrupts the stillness of the night.
- Unexplained sounds, mists, and disembodied voices echoing through the air.
- Apparitions, including the sorrowful spirit of Alice, a young girl who met her untimely demise near the property.
- A mysterious red mass, captured on camera, lurking just beyond the mill’s walls.
- The diligent ghost of a former millworker, eternally bound to his labor.
- An angry spirit making his displeasure known through physical touch and unsettling noises.
Our ghost hunts not only promise an encounter with the otherworldly but also offer a unique glimpse into the pioneer era of Tooele Valley. As you explore the haunting ground of the Benson Grist Mill, be prepared for an experience that will test your nerve and challenge your skepticism. Will you sense the dark energy that pervades this historic site? Can you brave the touch of an unseen hand or the sudden whisper in the dark?

My husband and I just toured the USS North Carolina Battleship this past Saturday. We had an AMAZING experience! Immediately booked another tour for the Bellamy Mansion and ordered paranormal equipment to use. Can’t wait til the next haunt!!!
We investigated the USS William A. Irvin in Duluth MN. It was a great experience, everyone was super friendly and helped whenever they could! if you are debating on signing up. Just do it! we had alot of fun!
Investigated Mortuary Manor in Toledo with my daughter. The guides were extremely knowledgeable about the equipment and different techniques to attempt to communicate with spirits. The owner was very very nice and was actively trying to help in any way he could. We had a very small group of 5 so we had the run of the place. It was a lot of fun and I definitely recommend to anyone interested in the paranormal. We definitely had some activity during the night. The experience made me want to try out other locations if I can. There were a few graduation parties going on in the area the night I was there so, I’d like to go back and see what I can find when it’s a little more quiet in the beginning of the night but it was a great experience!
Bought this as a gift to my brother. I went in not expecting much but had a great time at Valerie Hill winery. We caught some pretty cool stuff and he had a great Estes session. Highly recommend.
Everything was well organized and smooth. There was no gimmick, it started off as a quiet night paranormal wise, maybe because there was a long game of soccer going on right outside. Nothing to be done about that. Mid-Orange Correctional facility is now also part sports complex. The guides demonstrate tools used for investigating and even though the night started quiet, they didn’t hype up every little sound. They debunked sounds and explained what to look for. By 1am my husband and I ran into a group that came with their own equipment and had returned to a spot they had previously had activity. They welcomed us to join them and my EMF meter flew to red pretty steadily. They brought out the dowsing rod and it pointed at me directly so I was asked if I would hold it. I have never really understood how people don’t move the rods themselves. When I held it I realized there is a sleeve on the handle. So you’re not touching the rod. The rod was very responsive and corresponded with the EMF consistently for a few minutes. Anyway, what I liked most is it seems like the community cares. Everyone in the group checked in on my comfort. It was my favorite part of the night.
My son and I had a truly unforgettable experience at the Rock Island Roadhouse. The team that ran this event were all very knowledgeable of the history of the location as well as all of the equipment that they use. There were I think around 50 people total that attended and they broke us out into 4 separate groups. The first 4 hours of the night that were spent in the group setting taking turns with each team member didn't have much activity going on, however, once we were able to explore on our own the last 2 hours, we had some AMAZING activity! We even picked up what sounded like two whispering words in response to our questions! I highly recommend this group!
Did the Battleship North Carolina on April 3rd. I've already booked again for August. The hosts (Both physical and spiritual) were amazing. Recorded several EVP's throughout the night. Some very strong responses with dousing rods. Always skeptical about them, but there were strong responses, especially when we started talking to them like the military members they were. At one point I asked if they wished they had women on Battleships, he replied with a strong "Yes" and my Ghost Box replied with the word "Seductive". He really liked one of the young ladies with us. Turns out she was 18 and he was 20 when he died. Can't wait to do this again!
Just did a tour with this group on the Battleship North Carolina. Absolutely wonderful experience!! My husband and I will definitely be booking again. The leaders are super nice, respectful, and knowledgeable. Definitely recommend!!
Just finished our VIP overnight at Hotel Metropolitan in Paducah! Ms. Venita and Julie were the absolute best! They both made sure we knew what we were doing with equipment, and gave us a fantastic guided tour and explained the history so well. Venita especially made an impression on my group. She is super friendly and definitely knows what she's doing. Can't wait to see her again! I wouldn't want anyone else!
