Hidden Haunts: A Creepy Collection of Forgotten Ghostly Places by Conner Gossel (133.1097 Gossel) is a collection of spooky places throughout the United States. Minnesota's entry is about the Wabasha Street Caves in St. Paul, where three dead bodies were found in the caves. Rumor has it that they haunt those that dare to visit.

The title Don't Go There: A Tour of the World's Most Sinister Spots by J.W. Ocker (001.94 Ocker) contains good advice as far as I'm concerned. But if you must, here are 30 ominous places to check out.

It seems Minnesota has several legendary creatures to be wary of. Check out Monsters of the Midwest: True Tales of Bigfoot. Werewolves. and Other Legendary Creatures by Jessica Freeburg and Natalie Fowler (001.944 Freebur) to read all about them.

A History of the Unexplained by DK (001.944 History) is a brand-new addition to our collection. You will like this deep dive into things weird, creepy and unexplained from throughout the world.
