$23.99$39.99

Stroll into Mantorville, and you get the sense that it is a place where you could comfortably live forever. Ghosts seem to feel the same way, and this excursion into the stories of their activity keeps pace with the feverish bustle buried in the town’s heritage. From ruined breweries to opera house mummies, Christopher Larsen takes the measure of one of Minnesota’s most historic and haunted places. The tale of his investigations might not rob Mantorville of its charm, but when you walk into a gift shop that was once a funeral parlor, you might be a little more susceptible to a shiver.

From the Author

Mantorville – possibly one of the most haunted towns in the Midwest. This book goes into great detail describing the ghostly events that have happened to the small town over the last 150 years. There’s so many paranormal experiences, it makes you wonder if there isn’t something more sinister going on. I also take an in depth look at ghost hunting, taking you along on several of them with Twin Cities Paranormal Society. Also, this book is kid friendly for grades 6 and up – assuming you don’t mind getting scared!

Enjoy!
