North Dakota is a state kind of known around paranormal circles as being particularly active. It’s not difficult to find entire lists of places said to be haunted in this beautiful (but admittedly kind of eerie) state. North Dakota is full of old towns, and in those old towns are old buildings – and those old buildings hold a lot of history. Let’s take a look at a particularly spooky historic haunted inn in North Dakota that you might have heard of but never visited.
The Inn is actually one of several historic buildings on the grounds of Fort Totten State Historic Site.
It remains one of the best-preserved frontier military posts in the country. The building that is now the Inn once served as housing for officers and their families. Today, it's the old - but totally charming - Totten Trail Inn.

There are whispers that, back in the old days, when these grounds served as a boarding facility for Native children, there were many a child death onsite.
It's also claimed that a couple died in the house before the more modern renovations were completed; either way, something quite strange is said to be going on here.
Commonly sighted spooky things include shadowy figures darting in and out of one's peripheral vision, objects moving by themselves, doors opening and closing on their own, and even full-body apparitions from time to time.
Each room is beautifully themed and carries its own vibe, but one can't help but notice the strange feeling of being watched that seems to persist no matter which room they're in.
The old Totten Trail Inn comes up frequently when one begins to research all the interesting haunted places in North Dakota. It's far from the only haunted destination in the state, but it sure is one of the most intriguing.
There's no doubt that, despite the otherworldly tenants that go bump in the night from time to time, the Inn is still a lovely place to spend a weekend.
The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and guests are encouraged to learn all about the history of the Inn, the Fort, and more. Even those who aren't sure they believe in all that spooky stuff but still really loves them some history will adore a stay at the Inn.
There’s simply nothing like spending the night (or longer) at this historic haunted inn in North Dakota. It’s a perfect mixture of interesting history and creepy vibes that you won’t soon forget!
