Everyone loves a good ghost story. Phantoms of the Paramount,
Shadows on Third Avenue, The Legend of Ann Lake, The Boy in the Red
Cap. Veteran ghost hunter Michael Norman has uncovered almost three
dozen stories of legitimate Minnesota eeriness to thrill readers.
Norman, author of five nationally popular collections of ghost
tales, interviewed local storytellers and combed newspapers to
document legends involving supernatural and strange occurrences.
Following old and fresh leads, he gathered stories from all over
the state. Ghost stories have existed as long as humans have been
telling tales. Perhaps they rise from our curiosity about what
happens to us and our loved ones after death, perhaps they explain
phenomena that we do not understand, or maybe, just maybe, the dead
do walk the earth. Norman does not attempt to prove or disprove the
existence of ghosts but instead allow readers to make up their own
minds. his tales feature people's strange and paranormal
experiences in quite ordinary places, including homes, theatres,
B&Bs, and restaurants. Many of the engaging and hair-raising
accounts involve strange and frightening incidents of the last
fifty years; some tales document very recent unexplainable or
spectral events. The book includes a list of sites open to the
public and documents the hauntings' locations -- from Taylors Falls
and Pipestone to Northfield and Nobles County -- for Minnesotan who
may want to "pass through" the sites. Beware: these stories do not
have conclusive endings, since they remain mysteries to this day.
but perhaps that's best. An ending would just take the fun out of
it.
