This week, we’re heading to the Land of 10,000 Lakes—Minnesota! Lauren kicks things off with the haunting history of the Palmer House Hotel. Built on the site of a former hotel that burned to the ground, the Palmer House has become a hotspot for ghost hunters and paranormal investigators. From disembodied footsteps to unexplained shadows, it’s earned a reputation as one of the most haunted places in the state. Then, Kenzie shares two heartbreaking and largely overlooked murder cases. While the circumstances surrounding Evelyn Adams and Synika James are very different, both cases remain unsolved—and both deserve more attention. If you have any information that could help, contact details are listed below. From ghostly guests to unanswered questions, this episode dives into the haunting and tragic side of Minnesota’s history.
