Here in Minnesota, there are quite a few places that are said to be haunted. From spooky roads to creepy hotels, there is no shortage of places for curious ghost hunters to explore. But what if you want to brush elbows with the other side, not along an abandoned road or in an empty hotel room, but in the clear light of day? Thanks to the Grant House Hotel & Eatery, you have the opportunity. If you’re obsessed with all things paranormal, read on about this haunted restaurant.
The Grant House is a hotel and restaurant right on the corner of Highway 61 in Rush City. Its address is 80 West 4th Street.
While it is quite old, many don't realize that the current Grant House is actually the second building in this spot. The first, built in 1880 years earlier, burnt to the ground in a terrible fire.
That history is found everywhere you turn in this old building, from the period furnishings to the hundred-year-old architectural details. There is such a sense of the past, in fact, that many believe the building to be haunted.
There have been many reported sightings by both employees and visitors. Its haunted past is so notorious that the Grant House has been formally investigated for paranormal activity. Rumors of strange voices, flickering lights, and floating objects make up the bulk of the claims.
But don't hesitate to go in for any other meal. They serve up breakfast, lunch, and dinner. It's a fun atmosphere, and you're bound to run into locals and travelers alike.
