The Unique Minnesota Museum That Just Might Be Haunted
Here in Minnesota, we have more than a few interesting and unusual museums in every region of the state. From the most popular options, such as the Science Museum of Minnesota, to the weirdly wonderful SPAM Museum in Austin, there’s plenty to see in the Land of 10,000 Lakes. There’s one more you should add to your list of must-visit spots: the Greyhound Bus Museum. This museum is not only an educational foray into the world of transportation. But it’s also a mysterious spot that just might be haunted. Here’s what we know:
The Greyhound Bus Museum is located in the northern Minnesota town of Hibbing. The address is 1201 Greyhound Blvd., Hibbing, MN 55746.
Why Hibbing? Most people don't realize that the Greyhound company began in this little community. The first bus started running in 1914. In time, it became the famous company that it is today.
The museum dedicated to the company opened in 1989. It still stands today as a testament to the early days of mass transportation in the United States.
While the museum is fascinating on its own right, it does hold a secret that makes it even more interesting. Some say the Greyhound Bus Museum is haunted. There have been reports of missing and moved objects.
It's difficult to prove a haunting, so you'll just have to see for yourself. The museum is open to visitors Monday through Saturday 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. On Sundays, they're open 12 p.m. to 4 p.m.
