Ghoulish Legends from The City of Lakes
Haunted government buildings, theaters, museums, restaurants, parks, and of course cemeteries - Minneapolis has it all. Local folklore comes to life at the Turnblad Mansion, where the piano plays on its own, and at the Minneapolis Institute of Art, where the subjects of portraits move about. Spirits of victims in the disastrous 1878 mill explosion haunt Mill Ruins Park. The Foshay Tower's elevator seemingly goes haywire for no reason, and inmates and guards in the Hennepin County Jail report sightings of an underdressed spectral figure.
Local author Juniper Fallswolf investigates the roots of The Mill City's ghost stories, ranging from the tragic to the horrific as well as heartwarming and perplexing.
