THE STORY
Reported Haunting
The Marie Schmidt-Bremer House is associated with reports of ghostly activity connected to its Victorian-era history. Visitors have described apparitions, phantom footsteps, mysterious voices, and unexplained cold spots inside the historic home. The house has earned a reputation as one of St. Paul's haunted historic residences.
This house is known in these parts because it belonged to Marie Schmidt-Bremer, the daughter of Schmidt Brewing Company founder Jacob Schmidt. She and her husband Adolf Bremer had a son, Edward, who was kidnapped in 1934 by the Karpis-Barker gang. The house is haunted by an apparition of a brown-haired woman in a long white dress. Folks have also heard the sound of someone invisible using the stairs.
