BLUE, 1967
The movie set of Blue (1967) is located in La Sal, Moab, Utah. A beautiful drive to a beautiful setting brings you to…the creepiest set since the Island of the Dolls near Mexico City. After a lot of research, I still don’t understand why there are baby dolls barb-wired all over the ruins of the Moab movie set. I just know it’s creepy as all get out!
THE CASTLE VALLEY HOMESTEAD IN MOAB
The Castle Valley Homestead in Moab was built in 1856. It was a homestead for many decades. It was then used as a cattle shelter for many years. Since then it was cleaned out and used to shoot the movie Against the Crooked Sky (1975). It has also been lived in off and on over the years. The locals say the homestead is haunted.

MOAB’S WATER WITCH
Moab’s water witch is at the river corridor of Moonflower Canyon. The water witch is a Moab urban legend. Kids used to race their cars across the corridor after chanting for her. The story goes that a woman died tragically in the area. Her ghost hangs out by the corridor and tries dragging people into the water.
THE CANYONLANDS IN MOAB, UTAH
The movie set of Canyonlands, Moab, Utah. I don’t know much about the set or where it is except that the movie was shot in Canyonlands. The horror movie The Canyonlands (2021) was only recently filmed. Moab is still home to this horror movie, so some creepy things may be lurking at the site of the movie set!

DEAD HORSE POINT, MOAB, UTAH
Dead Horse Point in Moab has had two creepy instances: The first experience was two hikers who saw a cowboy with a walking stick in Moab. They could only see him from the waist up and could not see his face. When he disappeared one of the hikers suffered an unexplained weird bleeding Injury.
The second experience was a biker who saw a translucent crow in Moab. The crow screeched and disappeared. Upon the crow’s disappearance, the biker suffered from a creepy case of tinnitus. Hours later his ear started bleeding. The doctor could not explain this weird phenomenon.
