Jake & Jill take a tour through SLC of some spots of well known urban legends.


- First they stop by the infamous whale of 9th South & 11th East (which counts as a tall tail.. hahaha)


- Jake has a song stuck in his head. 


- Next they visit Hobbitville, properly known as Allen Park, which is now a SLC city park.


- They speak with a volunteer who gives some background and history of this unique place.


- Why was it called Hobbitville?


- Interested in being a volunteer at Allen Park or other SLC park units? click here


- Give your input on what SLC should do with Allen Park here


- Jake & Jill visit Emo's Grave


- They attempt to do the thing you're supposed to do here to invoke the urban legend but Jake gets a bad feeling about it, gets weirded out, and halts the attempt.


- In retrospect, it may be disrespectful to go to someone's grave and perform this ritual. A better ritual would be to place some stones on his grave as a sign of respect.
