Blind Frog Ranch – Vernal
Two Maverik locations in Vernal, Utah
Blind Frog Ranch is supposedly resting on buried Aztec treasure – and locals say there is a dark force protecting the gold. The owners’ quest for riches have been covered on the TV show Mystery at Blind Frog Ranch. You can take a tour of the filming locations and maybe see some paranormal activity for yourself. We think some green candy will go well with the ranch’s frogs, so grab some Snickers Ghoulish Green or Skittles Shriekers at Maverik on your way there.
Latuda – Spring Canyon

Nearest Maverik locations– Helper (6 miles east)
Latuda, Utah is a true ghost town – abandoned by the living but still supposedly inhabited. The White Lady of Latuda haunts this former coal mining town in Spring Canyon. Some say the White Lady was a destitute and grieving mother; others call her a revenge-seeking wife. Maybe you’ll see her – and if not, you can still see the creepy remains of Latuda’s abandoned buildings. For this classic ghost story, you better get some classic Halloween candy at Maverik. Try M&Ms or Kinder Bueno for this spooky stop.
Rio Grande Depot – Salt Lake City
3 Maverik locations within one mile
The Rio Grande Depot in Salt Lake City once saw busy railroad traffic– and now sees paranormal activity. Many visitors have claimed to see the Purple Lady, a scorned woman who jumped in front of a train after her engagement ring was thrown on the track. Mysterious lights turning on, water taps that won’t turn off, and spectral sightings of the Purple Lady have all been reported at the Depot. Balance out the sad story with something extra sweet like Reese’s pumpkins or Nerd’s Spooky Ropes.
Rock Canyon – Provo
6 Maverik locations within six miles

Considered the most haunted hike in Utah, the Rock Canyon Trail is home to a range of paranormal activity. People have reported hearing sobs from the murdered Native American namesake of Squaw Peak, seeing a ghost dressed in 70s clothing, and the spirit of a young girl playing by the creek. Reports increase as the weather worsens, so if you’re feeling brave, grab a cup of Maverik Hot Cocoa to stay warm and head to Rock Canyon in some cloudy weather.
