Minnesota Ghost Tours, Walks and Paranormal Investigations

You have landed on my list of Minnesota ghost tours. Minneapolis and St. Paul seem to have an extraordinary amount of haunted locations for such a cold location. I guess the ghosts don’t mind the chilly weather. This directory includes ghost hunts, ghost walks, haunted house tours, trolley tours, and cemetery tours that you may be interested in taking if you are a thrill seeker, ghost hunter and/or history buff.

    Pls contact my Friend Imogene. They will be putting on a horror convention at the end of Sept. They will even be having a zombie prom. This will all be at the Doubble Tree in Bloomington. They are looking for sponsors, prizes to give away and to cross promotion. You can also find them on face book or I am on facebook as well. The convention is in the 7th yr. They fly in celebs. One of them this year Sid Haig from house of a 1000 corpses will even be doing an interview at 93X. We are always looking to make connections in the haunted world we all love. I can also answer questions or get you the right info. Thank you for your time
