Glensheen Mansion is reportedly the most visited historic home in the state of Minnesota. The stately home originally sat on 22 acres of lakefront property in Duluth and was built by the Congdon Family. The brick facade and rising chimneys communicate a welcoming spirit, but the truth is that this mansion was the setting of a heinous double murder leaving the Congdon's daughter Elizabeth dead, as well as her nurse. The story is a narrative of insanity, greed and murder. And now that story continues with legends of hauntings on the property. Spirits are at unrest.

Mystic, Connecticut was a seafaring village in the early settlement of America. This was the scene of a horrific massacre that more than likely has left behind a negative spiritual residue. That residue leaves many believing that this is a cursed place. Based on the ghost stories and devastating fires of Mystic, we tend to agree. Join us for the history and hauntings of Mystic, Connecticut! The Moment in Oddity features cooking cicadas and This Month in History features the birth of Eugene-Henri-Paul Gauguin.
