Oakland Park - The Old Insane Asylum - On
many instances there have been wheelchairs moving from one end of the
hall to another and you could see imprints of people that resided there
and no one in the building. Many people have gone into this empty
building and came out with sever mental disorders. The building is no
longer standing but you can still see people that used to live there. -
This was listed as "Thief River Falls - The
Old Insane Asylum"- There never was an
insane asylum in Thief River Falls. However, a resident of the town for
many years, knows the building that is being referred to. It was
formerly located in Oakland Park, the three-story brick building built
in the late 1800s was a sanitarium for tuberculosis patients. It served
that purpose until TB was eradicated in the 1950s. After that, the
building was used as a nursing home until a new nursing home was built
on the property in the late 70s early 80s. In the mid-1980s the
building housed a dormitory for the local community college. The
students that lived there were a little upset when the college failed
to mention that the "dorm" was about six miles away from the college.
Needless to say, the building was only used for a few years as a dorm.
It stood empty from that time and was used for storage for the nursing
home. It was torn down a few years ago. There is some interesting
features on the building and its history. A tunnel was constructed that
lead from the basement kitchen to the nurses' quarters (a separate
building on the premises) so that the staff could travel between the
buildings without having to go outside in the winter.

large iron gate at the front of the cemetery there is a small dirt
field road on the west side that runs along the length of the cemetery
and ends next the boys grave. In the center of the cemetery is a large
tree or trees growing out one base. At night after 12 am if you count
the trees at the center of the cemetery and if you go to the boy’s
grave and come back the number of trees has changed. Most of the time

Randall - Little
Falls - Darling Church - Early after
being built it is said that two African American men kidnapped and
murdered a woman in the church. Being that murders were placed on
the shoulders of Africans in that time it is no surprise that it was in
this case either. It was rainy that night and a nearby farmer was
said to be out in the yard getting something out of the rain and heard
the scream of a woman. To him it sounded from the church, but
because of the weather he didn't pursue what he had heard. He
figured he had heard the wind. The next day the woman was found
dead in the church (cause of death unknown). Two African fellows
were traveling through at the time and the death was placed on
them. They got out of there as soon as they could being either
they did kill the woman or they knew they would get the blame.
The farmer never forgave himself for not going to the church that
night.* Few people have said that they had seen a figure of the
woman roaming around the graveyard behind the church and the church
itself at night. They also said that further away from the church
they heard a woman scream coming from the church. The ghost is
seemingly harmless.

new found wealth. Well, Mr. Forepaugh became rather fond of one of his
servants in particular. Her name was Molly, and the two of them soon
began to have a steamy love affair together. However, things got rather
ugly after Mrs. Forepaugh caught the two together in the midst of their
lovemaking. She insisted Mr. Forepaugh break off the affair, and so he
did. This did not settle well with Molly, who was now pregnant with Mr.

guard was shot and killed as he was getting off the elevator in the
basement, which is where the morgue was located. There are four
elevators in the building, but if you get on that particular elevator,
no matter what direction it is going or what floor you push, it will go
straight to the basement, open, and then close again before going to
where it's directed. The employee break room is in the basement but is
rarely used, as you have to walk past the old morgue to get to it and
there are strange noises there at night. There was also a tunnel from

you can hear people in the halls when no one is there
Winona - Winona
State College - Lourdes Hall - 4th floor- The fourth floor used to be an infirmary for the nuns
that lived there. Many people died up here and you can still hear many
of them walking, crying, or just trying to talk to you. It is rather
chilling, especially if you have lived there!!!!
Winona - Winona
State College - Richards Hall -
a room is haunted by the ghost of a student who hung himself in his
closet in 1978. He is often seen brushing past residents of the room,
or walking around in the middle of the night.
Winona - YMCA
- Everyone that has been inside of the
YMCA at night agrees that it is haunted! Everyone says that it is
haunted by an old janitor that loved his job and cared about everyone
there. If you are inside the YMCA at night and you be very quite,
sometimes you can here doors opening and a garbage can squeaking
through the halls when no one else is there.
