Cult Leader Said To Have Built Creepy Cross Near Idaho Border

For those who live in a community south of Franklin, Idaho, over the border into Utah, one landmark that was reportedly built in the forties by an alleged polygamist, cult leader, and serial killer still attracts explorers to this day.

Located approximately 80 miles from the southern Idaho border and south of Ogden, Utah, is the community of Kaysville. The city is home to roughly 32,000 residents, according to the United States Census Bureau.

Kaysville is also reported to still be the home of a Mormon fundamentalist family that has resided there for over 100 years, and is rumored to have a very dark past.

According to the SPLC, the site became known as Kay's Cross, which was nearly destroyed over 25 years ago. Although it was never proved, Kingston is alleged to have murdered multiple wives and carried out nefarious, late-night gatherings on his property.

There have been reports of strange voices by those who have managed to see the structure first hand, but beware, the land it's on is private property. The approximate location of the structure, which is more or less just a stone wall these days, can be accessed by clicking here.
