Ghosts of Southeastern Minnesota

ROCHESTER, Minn. — “After researching ghost stories, Christopher Larsen turned from a ghost skeptic into a firm believer,” reports Heather Thorstensen for Minnesota’s AgriNews.com.

“His book, “Ghosts of Southeastern Minnesota,” has 24 tales of paranormal activities based on true events. It includes pictures of places believed to be haunted and stories of what happened when he spent time ghost hunting at about half of them,” reports Thorstensen.

“Larsen considers himself a science-minded person and looked for alternative explanations to disprove ghost theories – He admits he never actually saw an apparition,” reports Thorstensen.

“He believes people who seek out ghosts create a catalyst that connects the afterlife and the world of the living. He encountered weird happenings in his own home while he wrote the book. A cup repeatedly set on a ledge always fell off, his childrens’ toys started going off in the middle of the night and he began hearing strange noises,” reports Thorstensen.

“Larsen encourages readers to start their own paranormal investigations. A chapter has ghost hunting tips and a list of handy equipment, such as a flash light and ectromagnetic field detector, which is said to reveal the spirit’s energy,” reports Thorstensen.

Larsen’s 256-page book, “Ghosts of Southeastern Minnesota,” from Schiffer Publishing is available at Barnes & Noble for $14.99.
