The Governor, the Gravedigger, and the Grudge

Episode 157 Published 9 months ago
Description
In this episode, we explore some of the darkest corners of Salt Lake City’s history, beginning with the spectacular downfall of Territorial Governor John W. Dawson, whose flight from a scandalous assault led to the exposure of Jean Baptiste, Utah’s most prolific and macabre grave robber. We follow the trail of the "shroud thief" to his medieval branding and exile on a lonely desert island, before fast-forwarding to the modern-day mystery of the "Victim of the Beast 666" headstone. Breaking through the urban legends of Satanic cults, we reveal the poignant and bitter truth behind Lilly Gray’s infamous grave—a story not of demonic possession, but of one man’s lifelong, stone-carved vendetta against the government.
