The First Avenue is an independent, live music, night club which features a variety of live bands playing original music.<br> Some of the biggest artists in the world have played here. You know Prince had to be on the list.<br> The building was built in 1937, presented as a brand new, stream-lined, art deco style Grey Hound Bus Depot.<br> Sometime in the history of the building, a woman hung herself in one of the stalls in the women’s bathroom.<br> The entity of a blonde woman, wearing a green jacket often appears to staff and patrons of this musical venue club.<br> Another entity will make a balloon appear from nowhere which then floats up and down the staircase on its own. The employees call this one Slippy.<br> People have reported seeing dancing apparitions with no legs.<br> When we finish dancing with the legless ghosts, we head to The Wardens House.<br> The Wardens House was built in 1853 as the residence of the territorial prisons wardens quarters. <br> Over the years many psychics have investigated the house and reported seeing a woman that appeared to be searching for her baby with stomach pains.<br> There are also a lot reports from visitors that they’ve heard noises such as shoveling coal in the basement.<br> Our restaurant is number four on the list, which is interesting since we are going to Forepaugh’s Restaurant.<br> This is a gorgeous state-of-the-art venue in a historic, Victorian mansion. <br> Their “Downstairs” menu is more casual…beers and Reuben sandwich kind of menu.<br> The fine dining menu is a more refined culinary experience. <br> Aside from the amazing views and food, they also fully embrace the odd of their location.<br> 1. They have a Piano Bar in which they play Halloween themed music around this time of year.<br> 2. This Halloween, they have none of than Natalie Fowler giving psychic readings.<br> The last leg of the trip is to Fountain Lake in Delano, MN.<br> Fountain Lake is a 282-acre lake located in south-east Wright County.<br> At Fountain Lake, witnesses say, the ghost of a Native American woman who drowned here can be heard screaming late at night.<br> According to the Fountain Lake Association: Fountain Lake IS NOT haunted.<br> We are going to let you be the judge.<br> <a href="http://www.thepalmerhousehotel.com/">The Palmer House</a><br> <a href="http://www.forepaughs.com/">Forepaugh’s</a><br> <a href="http://www.traveloddities.com/2016/03/21/20-forepaugh-restaurant-st-paul-mn/">Travel Oddities Episode 20</a><br> <a href="http://www.hauntedhouses.com/states/mn/first_avenue.htm">First Avenue Night Club</a><br> <a href="https://www.hauntedplaces.org/item/fountain-lake/">Fountain Lake Haunting</a><br> <a href="http://www.wchsmn.org/museums/wardens-house-museum/">Warden’s House</a><br> <a href="http://www.traveloddities.com/2017/03/13/68-stanley-hotel-estes-park-co/">Episode 68 with Natalie Fowler</a><br> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CvhBXyRkB3Y&amp;list=RDCvhBXyRkB3Y&amp;start_radio=1&amp;t=0">Outro Music</a><br> Help us keep the show running by joining our Patreon!<br> <a href="https://www.patreon.com/Travelodditiespodcast">Patreon Page</a><br> Subscribe, Rate &amp; Review – <br> <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/travel-oddities/id1049013947?mt=2">ITunes</a><br> <a href="https://goo.gl/app/playmusic?ibi=com.google."></a>
