When you pass by certain buildings, roads, or nature areas every day, it’s easy to forget that they’re full of history. Instead, they fade into the background, making it all the more difficult to learn more about their stories. But when it comes to many places throughout Minnesota, that is a mistake. Why? Because these locations may be the sites of ghostly encounters and decades-old hauntings. That’s certainly the case for one hotel in Minnesota. The hotel looks normal on the outside, but it might just be one of the most haunted places in the nation. Read on to learn about the Palmer House Hotel:
