Stroll into Mantorville, and you get the sense that it is a place where you
could comfortably live forever. Ghosts seem to feel the same way, and this
excursion into the stories of their activity keeps pace with the feverish bustle
buried in the town's heritage. From ruined breweries to opera house mummies,
Christopher Larsen takes the measure of one of Minnesota's most historic and
haunted places. The tale of his investigations might not rob Mantorville of its
charm, but when you walk into a gift shop that was once a funeral parlor, you
might be a little more susceptible to a shiver.
Eye witnesses claim to have seen Bigfoot in Two Harbors, Wendigos in Roseau, lake monsters in Lake Pepin, Mothman near Rochester, trolls in Cannon Falls, and a musically inclined purple dwarf, formally known as Prince, in Minneapolis. These are some of the frightening creatures that grace the state of Minnesota
