This is the Sandy Antique Store in Sandy, Utah. It's still open for business, and has been for 22 years, since 1991. It's owned by Randy and Jane Tanski. Before that, it was a gas station with a house in the back where the owners stayed.
There is a "ghost" in the basement. Tanski estimates that 20 or 30 people have approached her over the years and told her that they had seen or felt something in the basement.
While talking to the owner, she told me that the ghost is a woman, who is always described in the same way - around 30 to middle aged, with a long pioneer dress and very dark eyes. She sits in a chair and rocks, even though the chair is not a rocking chair.
The owner, Jane, told me that someone had bought the chair and a pair of doors that were just adjacent to it. A week later, they returned saying that they needed to return everything because they had brought a "dark presence" into their house.
The story, the owners say, is unknown, but they predict that the woman died in that basement when the store was a gas station. People who go down there mostly believe that the woman was killed by her husband, whom some people also see. He's described as wearing a top hat and a suit with glasses.
Who knows what really happened? The biggest question is: are the matching descriptions and eerie feelings just a coincidence?
