Last week, I took a ghost tour on Summit Avenue in St. Paul. No, I didn't get scared! The tour was interesting from both a historical and a paranormal view perspective. If you are in the area, consider taking the tour. The base tour runs about an hour and 15 minutes and you can add an advanced option to see three more haunted locations. Here's the link which covers the base options. https://www.the-driveby-tourist.com/astonishing-ghosts-st-paul/ Thanks, Until next time... Stan
