Sure, modern haunted houses are fun — but there is a charm to going to a historic location and seeing if you can really spot some supernatural phenomenon. That’s what you can do at Camp Floyd, where the website says: “Is Camp Floyd haunted? The public is invited to participate in a paranormal investigation of Camp Floyd. A brief presentation will be conducted to familiarize participants with paranormal investigating techniques and findings as the investigation starts. All participants will be invited to present their findings at the conclusion of the investigation and will have the opportunity of viewing photographs along with other paranormal evidence gathered at this historic site.”
For more information, go to stateparks.utah.gov/parks/camp-floyd.
2. The Doo Wop Project
Covey Center for the Arts, Provo, Oct. 18, 7 p.m.
What should you expect if you get a chance to go out for an evening of music at the Covey Center for the Arts in Provo on Oct. 18? According to the website: “With a hit PBS Special airing all over the country, four albums streaming on all major music platforms, and over ten years of playing sold out shows all over the country and the world, chances are you’ve already heard The Doo-Wop Project. Featuring stars from the Broadway shows Jersey Boys, Motown, Beautiful, and Hairspray, DWP is inspired by inner city African American vocal groups like The Flamingos, The Five Satins, The Miracles and later The Four Seasons, along with all the original groups that created the sound of Doo Wop.”
