A haunted old mill...
When I was writing the book "A Ghost In My Suitcase," I had a great time traveling around looking for haunted places. Once the book was finished, I found that I couldn't stop - it's a fascinating pasttime. Here's one that I ran across up in the town of Pawtucket, RI, you'll find the Slater Mill Historic Site - or as it's better known, the Old Slater Mill.
It was built in 1793, and was the first commercially viable cotton-spinning mill in the United States. The mill is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is also a National Historic Landmark. Along with all those accolades, it may also have a ghost or two.

Ever since early high school I was involved in commercial 'haunted houses' around Halloween (i.e. professional spook alleys). I do not know how popular they are in other area's, but in Salt Lake City they are quite a large production, and there are many around. The first few years I worked in the Haunted Old Mill, which is an old paper mill dating back to pioneer times. The setting around the Old Mill is perfect for a creepy building. It is nestled in the small valley at the mouth of Big Cottonwood canyon. The surrounding area has an aged and slightly rundown look. Because of the building's odd nature and ownership it only had the minimal care given to it and everything is overgrown. Needless to say, it is definitely a place which will give you the willies, even driving by it in the daytime.

The Cottonwood Paper Mill was built in 1883 by the Deseret News under the direction of Henry Grow. The structure was partially rebuilt in 1927 for use as an open-air dance hall, known as the Old Mill Club, and remained so until the 1940s. It was also used in the 1980s and 1990s as a haunted house and a craft boutique. It was declared a historic site by the Daughters of the Utah Pioneers in 1966, and was condemned by the city of Cottonwood Heights in 2005.
