Experience A New Side Of Minnesota On This One-Of-A-Kind Adventure

If you're looking to dig a little deeper, maybe see a new side of our beautiful state, you may want to consider exploring the "other side" of the Land of 10,000 Lakes - the side inhabited by the paranormal, the souls and spirits of the deceased. And you can do just that on this Minnesota ghost tour from Viator, which will take you to some of the most haunted places in the Anoka - the Halloween Capital of the World.

Anoka, Minnesota, is the self-described "Halloween Capital of the World" - and, as it turns out, for good reason.

It is home to more than its fair share of haunts, ghost stories, and unusual occurrences that smack of the paranormal.

The Anoka State Hospital, for example, is the former (and first) state psychiatric facility.

It has long since closed, and is mostly off-limits, but it is reportedly one of most haunted places in the entire state.

This ghost tour won't include the state hospital, but it will highlight many of the other most haunted places in the Halloween Capital.

The halls of the Anoka County Courthouse, for example, hold many secrets - some of them quite disturbing - giving rise to regular reports of paranormal activity.

You'll visit the Anoka Masonic Lodge to learn about some unusual happenings in this historic building.

The old Jackson Hotel, built in 1884, looms large on among Anoka's haunted buildings.

The original Anoka armory was destroyed by the infamous 1939 tornado that devastated much of the town.

The armory was rebuilt, but with it came an eerie past of otherworldly occurrences.

Your official tour will end here.

But don't forget about Forest Hill Cemetery, where Anoka's Gray Ghost was first spotted in the early 70s - it's a place no ghost hunter should miss.

We think you can learn a lot about a city's past by exploring its other side. Are you ready to explore the Halloween capital's haunted places?
