The Haunted Record

Minnesota

17 sourced records. Reports are attributed claims, not proof of supernatural activity.

Pipestone · Minnesota

Calumet Inn

Minnesota tourism has publicized haunting stories at this historic inn, including an account associated with Room 308. That coverage documents a tourism tradition rather than a proven supernatural event. The source is an older publication, so any visit or overnight plan requires a fresh check of the property’s current operations.

Duluth · Minnesota

Enger Tower

Duluth’s hilltop tower has a local account of a figure seen high in its windows who disappears when visitors investigate. Minnesota tourism connects the story to an alleged past death. The recurring narrative belongs to local haunting lore, rather than a demonstrated explanation for visitors’ observations.

Minneapolis · Minnesota

First Avenue

The Minneapolis music venue includes ghost stories in its official backstage tours. Its public history as a performance space is well established; the tour’s inclusion of those stories documents staff folklore rather than proof of apparitions. Private group tours require advance arrangements around the concert schedule.

St. Paul · Minnesota

Forepaugh’s Restaurant

An 1870s mansion became the setting for stories about Joseph Forepaugh and a maid called Molly. Minnesota tourism records staff reports of vibrating silverware, unusual scents and flickering lights. The names attached to those experiences belong to the restaurant’s haunting narrative.

Minneapolis · Minnesota

Foshay Tower

Unexplained elevator behavior forms part of this building’s haunting account. The publisher identifies this location in Haunted Minneapolis. Its inclusion documents a published paranormal account; the interpretation of a reported experience as a ghost remains unverified.

St. Paul · Minnesota

Griggs Mansion

The mansion served as an art school before occult publisher Carl Weschcke owned it in the 1960s. History Goes Bump recounts a 1969 newspaper investigation whose reporters left after hearing apparent footsteps. It also includes former worker Sharon Remackel’s recollections of unusual experiences during her summer employment.

Buhl · Minnesota

Lakeview Cemetery

Northern Minnesota Paranormal Investigators founder Brian Leffler described voices and apparitions during visits to this cemetery beside a former hospital burial ground. His account includes a June 2003 recording session and appears in Jeff Belanger’s Encyclopedia of Haunted Places. These are the investigator’s interpretations of his experiences.

Minneapolis · Minnesota

Mill Ruins Park

Stories associate the park with alleged spirits of mill-explosion victims. The publisher identifies this location in Haunted Minneapolis. Its inclusion documents a published paranormal account; the interpretation of a reported experience as a ghost remains unverified.

Minneapolis · Minnesota

Minneapolis Institute of Art

An account describes subjects in portraits appearing to move. The publisher identifies this location in Haunted Minneapolis. Its inclusion documents a published paranormal account; the interpretation of a reported experience as a ghost remains unverified.

Saint Paul area · Minnesota

Minnesota State Fair phantom pig

A phantom-pig tradition is among the local accounts documented in this collection. The unusual story is folklore, not evidence of an animal spirit. The publisher identifies this location in Haunted St. Paul. Its inclusion documents a published paranormal account; the interpretation of a reported experience as a ghost remains unverified.

Saint Paul · Minnesota

Mounds Theatre

This former silent-film and vaudeville venue became a focus of haunting reports after its restoration. Stories describe a child, an usher, and a figure near the projection booth. Minnesota tourism records the tradition and investigation tours; these reported figures are not established historical identifications.

Near Duluth · Minnesota

Nopeming Sanatorium

The former sanatorium was the subject of a Ghost Adventures investigation reported by Minnesota radio coverage. Its institutional history provides the setting for modern paranormal claims. Television investigation is an entertainment treatment of those claims, and does not establish their cause or authorize access to the property.

Sauk Centre · Minnesota

Palmer House Hotel

The Palmer House is a real hotel with a nationally publicized haunting reputation. Minnesota tourism describes guest stories attached to particular rooms and visits by paranormal television personalities. Those stories are accounts of perceived experiences; the proposed identities and causes of the phenomena remain unverified.

Duluth · Minnesota

Rathskeller

Located beneath Duluth’s former city hall, this venue incorporates space associated with the building’s old holding cells. Minnesota tourism notes its haunted reputation. The historical setting and the modern folklore should be considered separately: the presence of former jail space does not itself demonstrate paranormal activity.

Minneapolis · Minnesota

Turnblad Mansion

An apparently self-playing piano forms part of the mansion’s folklore. The publisher identifies this location in Haunted Minneapolis. Its inclusion documents a published paranormal account; the interpretation of a reported experience as a ghost remains unverified.

Saint Paul · Minnesota

Wabasha Street Caves

These excavated caves connect industrial history, entertainment, and stories of murdered gangsters whose bodies supposedly remained hidden. The tourism listing explicitly presents the haunting as a belief. A historical tour can explore the physical site without treating its unconfirmed crime and ghost narratives as proven facts.

Duluth · Minnesota

William A. Irvin

A radio contributor’s firsthand account describes investigating the museum ship’s boiler room, feeling a touch and interpreting recordings as voices. The report also says much of the audio was discarded because people outside could be heard. These reports are separate from the ship’s theatrical Halloween attraction.
