THE STORY
Reported Haunting
Built in 1847 along the Mississippi River, the historic Banfill-Locke property has been associated with reports of unexplained activity. Visitors and staff have described unusual sounds and other mysterious occurrences suggesting that traces of the building's long past may still linger.
The building was built in 1847 and is on the MIssissippi River. It was a rooming house for those on the Red River Ox Cart Trail. There have been numerous reports of smells, sightings, and sounds by a variety of visitors. Personally I have seen a woman sitting on the steps, have heard footsteps on the second floor, have smelled bacon and stew cooking. Others have reported a young boy playing marbles. A young man and a young women have been heard and seen. A couple different paranormal investigators have done investigations and have captured movement and other evidence.
