There is a hotel in southeast Minnesota that couples often book when they are seeking a romantic getaway. It is a beautiful place that was built way back in 1875. The historic hotel sits next to the Mississippi River and has 67 Victorian rooms and a really great restaurant available for guests.

It's also apparently haunted by close to 100 spirits.

The ghost of the hotel's former owner roams the halls. Clara Lillyblad lived in room 310 when she operated the hotel, and according to exploreminnesota.com, she's been known to make her presence felt in the hotel and especially in that room.

The Star Tribune details a horrific 1890 shipwreck on Lake Pepin where 98 passengers drowned.

In the days after the ship went down, the hotel was used as a makeshift morgue.
