Walk St. Paul's most haunted locations. 13 stops, self-guided. 3 stops free. No guide, no schedule — just you and the dark.
The Griggs Mansion on Summit Avenue tops every list of haunted St. Paul locations, and the body count backs it up. Joseph Forepaugh hanged his servant Molly and shot himself in 1892 at his Exchange Street mansion — both still appear to dinner guests at the restaurant inside. Below the Wabasha Street Caves, three unidentified men were executed gangland-style in the 1930s; bullet holes remain in the sandstone. Landmark Center, the 1902 federal courthouse where Machine Gun Kelly stood trial, still echoes with gavel strikes from empty courtrooms. At Oakland Cemetery, the Gibbons family vault marks the site of an 1886 murder-suicide that took six lives. This self-guided ghost tour hits 13 free stops across St. Paul — from Prohibition speakeasies to asylum corridors — no tickets, no guides, just you and the dead.
