What are the Most Haunted Places in Minnesota? 10 Scary Spots

 

Want to get scared this Halloween season?

Consider getting spooked by one of these 10 actually creepy places in Minnesota.

I didn’t want to believe it either, but our state is full of stories about the paranormal. You’ve probably even visited some of these spots, without realizing they’re haunted!

For your warped pleasure, this post rounds up the most haunted places in Minnesota.

Explore these places, if you dare. But be warned: you might want to bring a friend (or ten?) along for protection.

PS – Don’t miss our recently updated guide to the best haunted houses near Minneapolis!

1. Forepaugh’s Restaurant (St. Paul, MN)

For this one, we did some good-ole fashioned boots on the ground reporting.

Until 2020, Forepaugh’s was a high-end restaurant located in Irvine Park, a park whose spooky experiences led to us researching whether it was haunted. More on that later…

But while researching Irvine Park, we came across some dark stories about Forepaugh’s Restaurant, located just 90 feet away, which hint that the historic mansion is seriously haunted.

Back in the late 1800s, Joseph Forepaugh had an affair with his mansion’s young maid, Molly. Molly became pregnant and Joseph ended the affair, but Molly was so distraught that she committed suicide. According to reports, she hung herself in the attic by tying a rope to a chandelier and jumping out of the third story window.

Since then, restaurant guests and employees have reported freaky sightings of a woman dressed in 1800s attire, lights turning off and on by themselves, and strange noises coming from the third story attic. In one instance, the disturbances were so bad that it led to an investigation by the St. Paul police, whose K-9 dog refused to enter the attic.

On our own visit, we actually asked some Forepaugh’s employees about Molly. They smiled and said, “Oh yes, Molly! We’ve had quite a few meetings…”

2. Irvine Park (St. Paul, MN)

Officially, Irvine Park doesn’t show up on the traditional lists of haunted places in Minnesota. But our experience with strange flickering lights in the park, creepy noises, and animals randomly going berserk makes us question otherwise!

And as it turns out, there’s an interesting end to that earlier story about Molly the Maid and Joseph Forepaugh…

Joseph Forepaugh died in 1892. He shot himself… in Irvine Park.

3. Mounds Theatre (St. Paul)

Built in 1922, Mounds Theatre originally hosted silent movies. In recent years, studies by the Minnesota Paranormal Investigators Group, the Minnesota Ghost Hunters Society, and numerous psychics all conclude the same thing: this place is really haunted.

Visitors have reported seeing a little girl bouncing a ball on stage, an usher wandering the isles looking for his lost love, an apparition of a bald man watching a movie, loud sounds of a man sobbing, and more strange photographs than you can count.

Mounds now offers haunted tours each October. There’s a 1-hour standard tour, but for the truly brave, they also offer a 3-hour investigation that runs from midnight to 3 AM. The overnight tour includes a visit to the creepy basement and an opportunity to explore the grounds on your own. You can purchase tickets at realhauntedotours.

4. St. Paul City Hall (St. Paul, MN)

On February 13, 1906, St. Paul City Hall was the site of the last execution in Minnesota history.

William Williams was convicted of murdering a teenager as well as his own mother, and he was sentenced to hanging outside City Hall. Except they botched his hanging. On the first attempt, the rope was too long, and police had to physically hold Williams by the rope until he died from strangulation.

Since then, witnesses have seen apparitions wearing old-style clothing in and around City Hall. Including, you guessed it… a man hanging from a noose.

5. The Wabasha Street Caves (St. Paul, MN)

We’re not sure why St. Paul seems to be the most haunted of the two Twin Cities, but in the case of Wabasha Street Caves, it probably has something to do with this place’s creepy past. 

Before the caves closed in 2020, they offered ghost tours. The tours had tons of wild stories about the caves, including one that was especially bloody – a massive mobster massacre.

As the story goes, a prohibition-era bootlegging operation went awry, leading to a massive shootout between mobsters and tons of people dead. Since then, visitors often reported strange people sitting at the bar, and the cave owners even maintain a collection of hundreds of spooky ghost photos.

Even without the stories, the dark and damp caves, located deep in St. Paul’s river bluffs, can be a spooky place. Here’s to hoping they reopen soon.

6. First Avenue (Minneapolis, MN)

Before First Avenue was one of the most well-known music venues in the country, it was the site of a bus station. As the story goes, a woman was waiting at the bus station for her lover to return from war. When she learned he’d died in combat, she hung herself in the restroom.

Since then, multiple First Avenue employees have seen an apparition hanging in the women’s bathroom. Always in the fifth stall, which happens to be the exact scene of the tragedy.

7. The Palmer House Hotel (Sauk Centre, MN)

The Palmer House Hotel, located in Sauk Centre, Minnesota, is rumored to be one of the most haunted placed in America. It was even featured on its own episode of The Travel Chanel’s Ghost Adventures!

The Palmer House was built in 1901… just one year after a fire burned the old Sauk Centre house to the ground, killing hundreds of people in the tragedy. Today, the paranormal activity seems endless, with guests and employees reporting strange voices, doors slamming shutting, furniture getting rearranged, and most commonly, the sounds of phantom children playing in the hallways.

8. The Glensheen Mansion (Duluth, MN)

A popular tourist attraction and a spot on the National Register of Historic Places, the Glensheen Mansion in Duluth is a beautiful estate on the shores of Lake Superior. Originally built in 1905 by the wealthy Congdon family, this history took a turn for the worse when Elizabeth Congon and her nurse were brutally murdered in the mansion by the family’s adopted daughter.

They say Elizabeth’s ghost still haunts the mansion to this day. The mansion is now owned by the University of Minnesota, who offers creepy flashlight tours for adults wanting to learn all about the mansion’s eerie past.

9. Enger Tower (Duluth, MN)

Enger Tower just looks like a creepy spot. Located in Duluth’s Enger Park, this tall, narrow watchtower is made out of old stones and stands over five stories tall. And it’s supposedly haunted.

In the 1940s, a man jumped to his death from the top of the 80-foot structure. Since then, many people claim to see a strange figure wandering the tower’s top floor. Yet when they enter the tower to get a better look, he’s nowhere to be found. 

10. The Warden’s House (Stillwater, MN)

How’s this for a frightening place?

The Warden’s House in Stillwater was first built in 1853 to house the wardens of Stillwater Prison, the oldest prison in the state of Minnesota.

The last warden who lived in the house was Henry Wolfer. Wolfer’s daughter died from appendicitis shortly after she gave birth to a son, who Wolfer then raised in the Warden’s house without incident.

Fast forward nearly 100 years later. While taking a tour of the Warden House Museum, a young girl asked the tour guide, “Is the woman always there?”

8 of the Spookiest Sites in Minnesota

 

Twin Cities

  1. First Avenue, Minneapolis

    Before it was a famous “danceteria,” First Avenue was a Greyhound depot. Legend has it that one of the bathrooms in the 1,550-capacity concert hall is haunted by the ghost of a woman who hung herself in the bus station after her lover—a World War II soldier—didn’t return home. Workers have reported screams and cries emanating from the fifth stall; others claim to have seen a full-body apparition with a noose hanging around its neck, and warn one another not to enter the restroom with the lights off. DJs and concertgoers have also seen the dead woman bogeying down with other specters in the dance lounge upstairs. Curiously, neither the woman nor any member of her frightful entourage has legs.

  2. Mounds Theatre, St. Paul

    The 99-year-old silent movie house and vaudeville theater in Dayton’s Bluff was boarded up for 35 years before it roared back to life in the early aughts. The subject of paranormal TV shows and professional ghost-hunting investigations, the theater is allegedly haunted by a trio of ghosts: a happy little girl who bounces a ball onstage, a cursed old man that lurks in the shadowy corners of the projection booth and a crestfallen usher who lists up and down the aisles in search of his lost love. Immersive ghost-hunting tours (opens in new window) are held here every October; past attendees have described flickering lights, strange smells and inexplicable cold spots.

Duluth

  1. William A. Irvin
  1. The historic William A. Irvin spent 40 years ferrying iron ore and coal across the Great Lakes; today the imposing ship moonlights as a museum. After undergoing a hull restoration in 2018 and 2019, the vessel returned to its berth in Canal Park and reopened for daily tours in May. This October, however, it’ll transform into the wildly popular Duluth Haunted Ship (opens in new window). From Oct. 6 through 29, intrepid visitors can explore the boat at night, feeling their way through the dark engine room and unnervingly empty (or are they?) hallways. Several paranormal groups have conducted investigations here: While some proved inconclusive, others documented bizarre shadows and the sound of footsteps.

  2. Enger Tower

    The 82-year-old watchtower at the heart of Enger Park is more than a local landmark—it’s supposedly haunted by the ghost of an unidentified man who plunged from its 80-foot summit in 1948. Visitors have reported seeing a mysterious figure circling in the windows on the fifth floor, yet when they enter the tower to get a closer look the man all but disappears.

  3. Greenwood Cemetery

    It’s easy to miss this unmarked graveyard, tucked behind a prison and a nursing home off Rice Lake Road. But follow the overgrown footpath across Chester Creek and you’ll stumble upon an expanse of rolling green with a harrowing history. Here lie the remains of 4,705 individuals interred between 1891 and 1947—most of them too poor to afford burial in a proper cemetery. The plots were originally marked with wooden crosses, not stone, so few identifiers remain. But as a small, weathered plaque explains, “Many of these were immigrant miners, sailors, farmer, and lumberjacks whose labor helped develop St. Louis County. They were the real pioneers.” Come during daylight hours if you’re curious about the history—but come after dark, say paranormal enthusiasts, if you crave a far eerier experience.

Farther Afield

  1. Palmer House Hotel, Sauk Centre

    This haunted hotel has been visited by paranormal enthusiasts from across the country, including the crew of Travel Channel’s Ghost Adventures and, more recently, Dave and Bruce Tango from the Syfy program Ghost Hunters. Room 17 is supposed to be the scariest, inhabited by a phantom prostitute named Lucy who, rumor has it, was murdered at Sauk Centre House, a brothel that burned to the ground more than 120 years ago. (The swanky Palmer House Hotel was built atop its grounds one year later.) Room 22, meanwhile, is haunted by Raymond, Lucy’s mean-spirited pimp. Good news for amateur investigators: The hotel owner speaks candidly about guests’ most chilling encounters.

  2. Lakeview Cemetery, Buhl

    Considered one of the most haunted graveyards in America, Lakeview Cemetery (opens in new window) opened in 1913—around the same time that Shaw Hospital was built. When patients there died of tuberculosis or mental illness, they often were buried in this potter's field, many with little more than a cast-iron cross to mark their grave. Lakeview is surrounded by forest on all four sides, adding to its spookiness. Brave souls who’ve visited describe seeing apparitions in 1920s attire walking amongst the plots, hearing sounds of disembodied voices and footsteps in an otherwise pin-drop silent graveyard, feeling breath on their neck, smelling wretched odors, experiencing flashes of light and having the unsettling sense of being watched.

  3. Crazy Annie’s Bridge, Henderson

    The seemingly ordinary bridge at 270th Street is anything but after nightfall. The bridge earned its nickname because locals say it’s haunted by Crazy Annie, a World War I widow who drowned her three children in the nearby creek before hanging herself from a tree. Visitors who ventured here after 11 p.m. have heard ungodly screams, seen faces floating in the darkness and figures fleeing through the woods and found handprints on their vehicles after returning home. (They also report cops busting them for loitering, so tread with caution.)

Civilization Cannot Exist Without Righteous Retribution

 

The only thing about the fact that a jury found that the degenerate scumbag who murdered seventeen people should not be executed is that it was just one nimrod juror who held out not to give the vermin the death he deserves. Statistically, even in a red state like Florida, it’s difficult to find a group of twelve people without a moral illiterate or two. In blue venues, it’s hard to find any moral literates at all.

Here’s the thing – a civilization that cannot come up with the moral testicularity to execute a creature who murders over a dozen of its children is a civilization in serious trouble. The minimum standard for any culture that intends on surviving – and surviving means dealing with the barbarians within and without – is to take its own side in the fight for survival. Eventually, there will be a backlash. The only question is how ugly it will be.

This injustice in the Sunshine State – appropriately deplored by Governor DeSantis – is a symptom of the larger problem. You see it manifested across our culture – suicidal tolerance and performative forgiveness. In places like Chicago, New York, Philadelphia, and other blue cities – it is always blue cities – the inhabitants murder each other with glee. But more than that, they generally act like savages. We have all seen the videos. Random creeps menacing citizens on the subways, packs of thugs raiding convenience stores or shopping malls, pitched battles between groups of aspiring Einsteins in Walmarts, animals cold-cocking citizens who are simply minding their own business. But no one stops them. No one holds them to account. The cops’ shrug, because the blue politicians have told them to stand down. The answer to those of us who protest is always the same – shut up, racist, and also give us your guns so that you cannot defend yourself from what the government refuses to suppress.

And then there is the spectacle of family members of murder victims “forgiving” the criminals as if forgiveness was a simple act and not a process that demands action by the person being forgiven. This bizarre misunderstanding of Christianity is mixed with what seems to be a desire to front to the world as somehow enlightened – “I want to announce that I forgive the barbarians who raped and murdered my daughter. They did not repent, they did not seek forgiveness, and they have not yet been punished, but I’ll do it now anyway. Look at me.” Not that you want to take theological hints from a guy who grew up a Californian Methodist, but the forgiveness of God does not just manifest out of the blue; the one receiving grace needs to take steps to obtain it. These moral posers – and it is posing, sad and horrifying, but posing nonetheless – demand nothing to obtain forgiveness, so the forgiveness they offer is meaningless narcissism.

Yes, in case you are wondering, I am criticizing the family members of rape and murder victims who refuse to demand justice. Their moral voguing is perpetuating a paradigm where more people’s kids die. Forgive those who seek forgiveness; don’t hand it out as moral welfare and be shocked to find a society full of moral welfare bums.

Oh, and forgiveness does not mean letting them out of jail.

Our society must relearn how to say “No” again. No to crime. No violence. No to anarchy. And it is not hard – we know how to do it. Rudy Giuliani did it in New York City, turning the town of “Taxi Driver” and “Death Wish” into the safe, clean, and prosperous envy of the world. Here’s how. It’s simple. It’s not rocket science. It’s not even assembling Legos.

You enforce the law, arrest criminals, prosecute them, and put them in jail for some time commensurate with their crimes. If they commit many crimes, they go to jail for many years. This has the advantage of making them not be around normal people to commit more crimes. But it requires a recognition of the true purposes of the justice system. They are:

  1. To punish criminals, because a bad act requires society’s retribution. That retribution demonstrates that crime will not be tolerated. It also gives victims justice via society, thereby replacing the need for victims or their families to seek justice personally.
  2. To keep criminals in jail, because people who commit crimes should be in a place where they cannot hurt those who do not. Yes, that means more incarceration. Good. Because every criminal whose voluntary acts have resulted in the loss of their freedom means dozens of normal people who do not lose their freedom because of the criminals’ acts.
  3. Rehabilitation, but only to the extent rehabilitation efforts make it unnecessary to have to keep the criminal locked up forever. It is not a right. Rehabilitation is important only to the extent – and history shows it is a pretty damn limited extent – that it prevents more crime. It is not there to help the prisoner except incidentally. It is moral confusion to imagine that because a criminal gets caught that we normal members of society somehow incur a moral obligation to do anything for the prisoner but to provide basic food and shelter and not inflict cruel or unusual punishments. 

Imposing order means harshness. It requires that actual criminals be treated with the swift, sudden, and relentless force that today only people who pray at abortion mills or who take selfies in the Capitol receive. Their treatment by the garbage feds demonstrates that law enforcement knows how to crack down. It’s just that the crackdown should be on actual criminals instead of the political enemies of the Biden regime. Cleaning up law enforcement is another topic and another column, or even a whole book. But one thing that must happen is empowering the properly led and directed police to go after the bad people like they today go after the good people. The Soros DAs must be purged. The restraints on policing thugs must come off. We must collectively shrug when a video shows cops capping or kicking the ass of some degenerate, and if there is a riot then that riot must be crushed. We did that in Los Angeles in 1992 – it is a matter of will.

That is the thing – public order and safety are a matter of will. We know how to do it; we’ve done it. We just have to choose to do it again and reject the whining and wailing of those who benefit politically from letting criminals run rampant. You know, Democrats.

And we inevitably will make that choice. It’s human nature; people can only be pushed so far before they either push back themselves or rally behind someone who ruthlessly will. There is going to be a backlash. The question is what kind there will be. I propose a purposeful, conscious backlash where society says “Enough” and uses the present justice system and structures to stamp out crime. But if that does not happen, then there will be a harsher backlash, one that could easily spin out of control into excess. That’s when civilization starts falling apart. Remember the olden days, when there was no crime in mafia neighborhoods because if you tried to mug Mrs. Andolini on her way home from mass the cops found you in the trunk of a Buick parked in New Jersey divided into twelve pieces? 

Tough but fair. Yet, the reaction to come might not be so relatively orderly and focused. It’s not a problem for you or me, since we’re not criminals, but it might get out of control. Yet that’s still better than normal people living in fear.

Choose wisely. Choose to stop tolerating this chaos.

The American Stasi State

 

I do not take the topic of this week’s missive lightly, and it comes from experience. Back in the mid-80s, I was a young Army Paratrooper Lieutenant assigned to the 325th Airborne Battalion Combat Team in Vicenza, Italy. Each January-February, we did training exchange rotations with the famed Berlin Brigade. They would come down to Folgaria, Italy, and participate in our cold-weather mountain warfare training course. We would deploy to take advantage of their MOUT (military operations in urban terrain) facility. While in West Berlin, by agreement, members of our military could travel into East Berlin through Checkpoint Charlie.

I remember receiving the safety brief about being situationally aware of the East German secret police, known as the Stasi. They would be shadowing us and ensuring there was no conversational contact with East Germans, beyond purchasing goods. The Stasi was part of a brutal regime that imprisoned its political opposition; many of whom were never to be heard from again. What I witnessed as a young 24-year-old Army officer was something I never wanted my country to experience.

Sadly, what I did see then has now infiltrated our country. When Joe Biden stands before an ominous and extremely dark backdrop to castigate millions of Americans as extremists, fascists, threats, and enemies, we have crossed an extremely dangerous Rubicon. This is the mantra of the real fascists, socialists, Marxists, and yes, communists, to disparage their political opposition, dehumanizing them, and setting them up for a “by any means necessary” agenda of suppression, silencing, and eradication. 

America is becoming a Stasi state.

Over the past year, we have seen parents who resisted the indoctrination of their children be attacked. How interesting it is that the National Association of School Boards, of which many state school boards are members, wrote a letter to the U.S. Attorney General demanding that parents showing up at school board meetings be designated as domestic terrorists. And even in the Lone Star State of Texas, we had two dads arrested in their homes, before their families, at night, in Round Rock, Texas, all because they spoke up about transparency and their disagreement with the current superintendent.

 

Democratic Party's Lenin Statue in Seattle, Washington

Recently, the American Medical Association sent a letter to the U.S. Attorney General. Their letter demanded that anyone, including journalists, who speaks out against child gender modification, mutilation, surgeries, puberty blockers, and hormonal therapies be investigated. So, in other words, a medical association, which we all know is quite leftist, does not want any speech against surgically mutilating young children. Based upon a video from Vanderbilt University School of Medicine, it appears that this is a lucrative business. Matter of fact, Planned Parenthood has opened up a new line of business in child gender mutilation surgery. Take note that a gender mutilation surgery center in San Francisco sought to sponsor a drag event at a gay bar in San Diego for children.

Speaking of California, its state legislature just passed a law, which will surely be signed by Gov. Newsom, that will punish medical professionals spreading so-called Covid-19 “disinformation.” Since when were elected officials smarter than medical professionals? The most severe punishment is the revocation of a medical license. The state government is now interjecting itself into the doctor-patient relationship.

The U.S. Department of Justice just announced it will begin an investigation into Elon Musk’s acquisition of Twitter. Why not investigate Kroger acquiring Albertsons? Oh yeah, Twitter is an information platform that the leftists, and fascists, do not want to lose. I guess the world’s richest man is not out of reach for the American Stasi state. And the same DOJ is opening an investigation on Florida’s Governor Ron DeSantis for transporting 50 illegal immigrants to Martha’s Vineyard…but no investigation into the Biden administration doing (which it still does) the very same thing all across the nation?

Indiana congressional candidate Jennifer Ruth-Green had her military personnel file illegally accessed and given to Politico for a hit piece that revealed her sexual assault while in Iraq. The U.S. Air Force has come out publicly and stated that it had no record of anyone requesting under FOIA to obtain her personnel file, which Politico said they did. Jennifer Ruth-Green is an Air Force Academy graduate, but sadly, she is a Black female conservative. To the American Stasi state, she is the enemy for being a black woman that is not a socialist or Marxist.

And so it goes when an 83-year-old pro-life volunteer, Joan Jacobson of Michigan, was shot because she believed in the very first unalienable right, life, for the unborn children of America. Or what about 80-year-old Julie Jaman of Port Townsend, Washington, who was banned from her YMCA for complaining about a gender dysphoric male staff member being in the women’s locker room and heckled by the Stasi state brown shirts? Or how about the unfortunate story of 18-year-old North Dakota teenager, Cayler Ellingson, who was run down by a triggered Marxist believing the kid was a Republican extremist? None of these stories received any coverage from the American Stasi state media propaganda wing.

Americans deemed the political opponents of the Stasi state are being targeted and having their homes raided…yet not one single black-clad and masked Antifa leader has been arrested. And even if they were, the Stasi state, meaning Kamala Harris and her ilk, will raise funds and advocate for their being released. And even in our nation’s capital, a new Bastille has arisen, a place to unlawfully detain and hold Americans with their due process constitutional rights being violated.

This is all the result of constitutional conservatives, concerned parents, and those who believe they have a right to free speech, free expression, peaceably assemble, and petition their government for a redress of grievances being labeled as domestic terrorists, fascists, and the enemy. If you are burning down city blocks, attacking law enforcement, and entering the country illegally, that is permitted by the American Stasi state, along with releasing violent criminals back onto our streets.

The midterm elections will determine whether or not our constitutional republic survives or if the American Stasi state expands.

Who knows, perhaps one day, I will have the late-night banging upon my door because I dare to cower in fear, intimidated into silence, afraid for my family. Perhaps I will have my bank account suspended as have so many others. The funding of 87,000 new IRS agents is not in the interest of the American people. It is in the interest of the American Stasi state, to be weaponized against political opponents. 

Unity for the progressive socialist leftists and Marxists means conformity…or else. I find it funny because during the Trump presidency, all we heard from the left was “Resist.” Thanks, y’all, that is exactly what I plan to do…Steadfast and Loyal.
