In Little Falls Minnesota there are a couple of mansions built side by side in the late 1890's. They were built in 90 days by a couple of lumber baron families. When the last remeaining member of the family died, she left a 10 million dollar endowment to keep the mansions open for public viewing. Word is they are haunted as well, and one interesting tidbit...The wicked witch from Wizard of Oz..the actress that is...stayed at one of the mansions many times and was friends of the family. Here are some shots of the interiors:

In 4 it looks like someone is still sitting in the chair, the cushion is so flat. Kinda spooky!

Wow...thanks all!! Laura, you are right...I never noticed that before...these places DO draw alot of attention as being 'haunted' and the caretakers have several thousand photos from poeple who captured 'orbs' and other possible entities on film during thier visit here. Thousands of photos from as many different people and cameras...all capturing the same unexplainable apparitions?? hmmmm There just may be someone in that chair!
