Haunted MN
Minnesota's ghost stories come from small-town hotels and lakeside mansions, where long winters seem to keep the past close.
Historic hotel Sauk Centre, MN
The Palmer House opened in 1901 on the site of the town's first hotel, which burned in 1900. Guests report children playing in empty halls, cold spots and figures in certain rooms, and the hotel has appeared on several paranormal TV shows.
Visiting: Operating hotel and restaurant; ghost tours are offered on some dates.
