Chaska’s Peacock Inn
Is it Haunted?

Chaska is a lovely city on the banks of the Minnesota River. Many times I have traveled through it’s streets over the years that I have lived here in Minnesota.

As you drive into town in the winter you’re greeted with a wonderful seasonal light display welcoming you and bidding you to stay for a while. In the summer I have often driven into town when it was shrouded with a fog, giving it a hazy touch of mystery.

In our time of need, can spirits intervene to help us?

As we get older and our loved ones pass, we wonder are they still around watching us? Perhaps guiding us or protecting us?

Has anyone had an experience where a spirit has helped us in any way?

Let me tell you a story my mom told me when I was growing up.

My mother had just found out that she was expecting me and she planned to tell my fathers parents at a retirement party they were throwing for him.

In a few other articles that I had written I had said that I felt that most of us coexist with spirits in the house with out us knowing. These spirits go about doing their own thing, watch us, and sometimes join us in our activities all without us knowing. Sometimes they will inter act with us in gentle ways so we don’t notice it. Have you ever lost something then suddenly found it and you know you looked in that area before. Or has something happened that prevented an accident to happen.

Why The Strait House?

I got a few e mails asking me why did I pick the Strait House for the Ghost Stories event.

The Strait house is a historical landmark and it’s right in our back yard and not many people know about it. When was the last time you were at the Strait house? Landmarks such as The Strait House need to have a little attention brought to them and in my small way that is what I am doing.

Do ghost feel?

When we die dose everything die with us? Do all of our emotions, such as fear, the feelings of love and hate, happiness and sadness, our curiosity, everything that makes us human still linger on after we are gone?

The answer is yes.

After we pass we are the same person we were when we were alive. I have found a spirit that said they were afraid, or a sound of a sobbing no.

Shadow people along 169

I have called Jordan my home now for 4 years. Since I moved here, I have travel up and down the 169 all times of the day and night.

Many times I am asked what do spirits look like and why some people see spirits while others do not.

Let’s answer the last question first.

It’s not sure as to why some people see a spirit while others do not. My personnel theory is that a lot will depend on the energy of the spirit as well as the psychic ability of the viewer.

Hi Everyone

Dear Kathy Ghost Hunter

Our Hunted Weekend….Day 2

After a very tasty breakfast, everyone gathered in the back yard relaxing, having our coffee and discussing their experiences at the Holt house. The spirits seem to like Mary and had only showed themselves once to her. However, will have a verity of friends and family who will visit and spend the night over. They are the ones who seem to have the unusual experiences. It will be from strange noises to seeing dark misty shapes to smelling breakfast cooking in the middle of the night.
