The MnDaily does the sort of article that shows up in newspapers every year about this time, and I always enjoy: Local hauntings.

It’s tough to believe that the Washington Ave bridge is haunted. Sure, folks have jumped from there, but “i heard somebody’s footsteps and I was the only one there” is specious. The covered part is practically an echo chamber.

It’s hard to be scared of the ghost of John Berryman. I mean, who is going to flee a ghost that is crying out “A penny, pity, for the runaway ass!”

Speaking of hauntings, I’m still haunted by that Haunted MN blog that is no longer. The ghost hunter/accountant dude. Was so looking forward to more of his nasally ghost hunting commentary. *sigh*

Makes me think of that movie that John Cusack did recently.

What was the one when he went out and stood underneath jets and got thrown up in the air? High Fidelity?

Billy Bob Thorton does that in Pushing Tin, which has John Cusack in it.

I got a place that is very haunted in Minneapolis. The Grandmarc located on Washington Ave. South. On the 7 corners… Room 111 The Grandmarc is a student housing apartment building for the U of M and AI.
I lived there for about a year. The room is one of the only apartments equip to handle handicapped persons. My roommates and I all saw apparitions and heard voices. A teenage girl actually woke me up in the middle of the night poking me. When I opened my eyes she started screaming in my face and then disappeared. Strange black shadows followed us and dashed back and forth. Every morning I would wake up with a horrible stomach ache to the point of puking… I tried to look up some info about the building but hit dead ends everywhere… My roommate and I where laying in bed one night and the bed started to shake slightly and something started to play with my hair… I jumped up and jumped into my roommates bed when we heard a very loud knock on our wall… needless to say i was curious about it but my roommate slept on the couch from then on… anyways its pretty scary…
