Episode 248: Spirits with a side of ghosts

2025/11/12

Happy Spooky Wednesday, Friends! This week Brittany is going local with the Forepaugh’s Restaurant in St. Paul, MN. While it is now known for fine dining, it was once the residence of a wealthy family. After having an affair with Mr. Forepaugh, the maid ended her life in the house. She now haunts the restaurant, messing with the lights and kitchenware. And Mr. Forepaugh has been seen hanging around as well. Sounds like this relationship drama has continued even in the afterlife.

A bridge where locals go to chase the ghosts of children or their mothers who met a tragic fate. Ohio has one in every county! So listen to our tales and tell us: have you
