Is Juab Historical County Jail haunted?
The record holds 1 claim, 1 legend — filed as reported, not verified. The heaviest filing is classed documented legend. The archive documents the claim; it takes no position on the ghost.
The record — long form
Juab Jail is the shipped — the 'Pauley' that's the St. Louis's build, the '$8,916' that's the price's mark. The 'territory built' is the timed — the 'four years' that's the statehood's gap, the '1892' that's the brick's year. The 'cages moved' is the dealt — the 'Eureka' that's the old's new, the 'contract said' that's the swap's term.
The 'ship's ceiling' is the odd — the 'heavy metal' that's the top's kind, the 'bars sheet' that's the cells' make. The '80 years' is the served — the '1974' that's the close's year, the 'sorrow repentance' that's the marker's words. Juab Jail is the kept — the 'best preserved' that's the state's rank, the 'courthouse next' that's the complex's pair.
The file keeps Juab Jail: the shipped cages, the territory build, the ship's ceiling, and the 80-year run.
Juab County Jail is the archive's Utah file — the mail-order jail built before statehood.
Why this file matters
Juab County Jail is the archive's Utah file — the territorial jail ordered from St. Louis.
A jail keeps its order — the file's suggestion being that Juab's hold is the shipped: the 'Pauley' that's the builder's far, the 'territory' that's the timing's mark, and the 'ship's ceiling' that's the cell's odd.
