Join Real Ghost Tours this Halloween!

Featured ghosts include:

William “Gene” Satterlee – The son of a teetotaling, fire-breathing Wisconsin preacher, Gene Satterlee moved to Minneapolis & began working in the Salisbury, Rolph & Co. Mattress Factory, eventually being made partner of the firm & becoming a prominent Minneapolis businessman. His spirit is the most communicative in St. Anthony Main.

Amelia – Little is known of this spirit, except that one medium sensed her as a show girl above Denell’s (formerly Pracna’s) bar.

John Martin – A leading businessman of the city, he built one of the earliest still-standing structures in Minneapolis. At times successful, his businesses met with many of the tragedies common in the early days of the city: his lumberyard burned to the ground & his steamer sunk in the Mississippi. Perhaps his survivor’s guilt, of being the captain of a ship with only one other survivor, kept him from crossing over.
