    It was a cold, foggy winter night. A perfect night for some ghost stories! The Minneapolis Ghost Bus tour is a great way to cover lots of well known and not so well known spots that have great stories of haunting associated with them! We toured with Dangerous Linda and her handsome guy, Larry. Linda has done her research and shares the stories knowledgeably. She has a great story telling way, and Larry has collected additional stories to share. It might be cold outside, but a warm comfy bus and some great ghost stories are the way to spend an evening! Highly recommended. Kristen Wheeler Highland. Very fun. Lots of history shared. Can’t wait to do another..

    What a fun way to explore downtown Minneapolis! We met up with Dangerous Linda at the beautiful Foshay Tower where she began sharing her ghost stories. We then hopped onto a luxurious coach bus for the tour which included stops at points of interest where we exited the bus for story telling and picture taking. Linda is knowledgable historian and masterful story teller. She was also very good at involving her audience into the stories to share their own paranormal experiences. It was a very intimate and educational experience! A highlight for us was stopping at First Ave and looking at the stars on the wall and taking more pictures. Another nice feature of this ghost tour was the ability to bring your own food and beverages on the bus, which also has bathroom. This is also a great way to entertain friends and relatives in town. Dangerous Linda is the best!
