Spirits of Riverton: Unveiling the Haunting Tales of Downtown
Manage episode 446639199 series 3574917
“Do you believe in ghosts?” is the question that was asked at the beginning of a tour of the haunted history of Riverton with local educator, historian and collector of ghost stories, Alma Law.
Alma greeted us in the Riverton Museum holding a doll named Amelia, and while Amelia’s mysterious history points to a potential haunting, there was something quite captivating and beautiful about her.
After taking a deep dive into the history of the Riverton Museum, we traveled to the Masonic Temple, where Ken Watts joined us and added his insights and stories to the haunted history narrative of the Temple. Then we made our way to the old jail to meet with Bart Ringer, who worked as a sergeant at the jail for many years. Bart and Alma talked about the jail’s spooky past and the role that it served in the community.
Grab a warm beverage, a cozy blanket and your favorite mysterious doll, and listen along as Alma tells stories of people from long ago, an orange tabby cat and a mysterious jogger. And then you can decide, “do you believe in ghosts?”
