Book Description: Where to go in Minnesota to possibly sleep in a haunted bed & breakfast, hear ghostly wails in a theatre, go roller-skating with ghosts, encounter a haunted doll, hike a haunted trail, hear spirits playing music, have a drink in a haunted pub, see gravestones move on their own, and much, much more.
It's Hard to Read Just One: I picked this book up while on a road trip. The entries are short, concise, and tell you what's been seen, a short blurb on the history of the place, and what if anything the authors found upon "investigation" of the site. Each site includes a photo and driving directions so the reader can find the site and check it out. It's not too in-depth, which is nice because it doesn't get boring. The authors have found some unique places which will provide spooky vigils for those so inclined. After I bought this book, I enjoyed paging through it so much that I went out and bought their titles for South Dakota and Wisconsin. My only critique of this book is the sloppy editing, there are numerous typos and in one case the same text is repeated on two pages. Whoever edited this should be fired. The sloppy editing does take away a little from the credibility of the book, but it's a light-hearted treatment so I guess it's not to be taken too seriously. Overall the book is a good primer for one aspect of local folklore.
New Printing: With the first printing of the book there was a small batch of defective copies, but the typos and problems have since been corrected. We hope you enjoy all the haunted locations in Minnesota.
Try again: My copy was missing a 40-page section near the beginning of the book. A 40-page section near the back was duplicated. What I did read, I found countless typos. Don't waste your time or money on this. I sent it back immediately.
