Idle Isle Cafe

Utah · United States · Road

A worker cleaning behind the soda fountain at Brigham City stood up to find a Native American man standing at it. She had heard nobody come in.

The Idle Isle Cafe on Main Street in Brigham City, Utah reports voices and disturbances from the dining room after closing. Objects come off shelves. Chairs are moved or knocked over.

The figure described is an elderly Native American man, and he is not confined to this building. Several businesses along Main Street report him.

The account most often retold belongs to a member of staff cleaning behind the soda fountain. She was crouched down at the work. When she stood up, he was standing at the fountain in front of her. What startled her was not that he was there but that she had heard nothing at all: no door, no footsteps, no chair.

The cafe is a long established business on a street that has kept much of its original fabric, and the accounts have accumulated across owners and staff rather than being attached to any single incident.

No story is offered locally to explain who he was, which is unusual and, in its way, more honest than the alternative.
