R.D Hubbard House Museum

Mankato, MN · Historical Buildings

This historic mansion is currently operated as a museum by the Blue Earth County Historical Society, and staff claim that even after the building has closed down for the night, some still walk the halls of the old house. Visitors claim to have heard ghostly laughter, running footsteps in the hallways, and a strange mist that drifts from room to room of the house. In the main bedroom, staff claim to have seen a man in an old-fashioned suit sleeping quietly, who vanishes when approached. They speculate that this is the former builder and owner of the mansion.

    I had a feeling that a dog that was once owed by the Hubbards went past my leg and my mom also had an experience with a spirit in the servent quarters

    The Mankato Curse is real.
    This town in south-central Minnesota is said to be haunted by hundreds of malevolent spirits—demonic souls unable to pass through Heaven’s gate after reveling in the unjust execution of 38 Dakota men in 1862.

    On that frigid December day, many sadistic spectators gathered to witness the mass hanging. According to mediums and psychic investigators, numerous European settlers who took pleasure in the execution were denied entry into the afterlife. Their toxic souls now drift along the Minnesota River Valley, restless and vengeful.

    Each year, a bizarre murder reportedly occurs in the valley—committed by someone believed to be possessed by one of these spirits. If you’re skeptical, explore the archives of The Free Press, Mankato’s local newspaper, which has chronicled many strange and unsettling deaths in the area
