THE STORY
Reported Haunting
The R.D. Hubbard House Museum is associated with reports of ghostly activity connected to the Hubbard family. Visitors have reported apparitions, mysterious footsteps, unexplained voices, and shadow figures throughout the historic home. The museum has become one of Mankato's notable haunted sites.
This historic mansion is currently operated as a museum by the Blue Earth County Historical Society, and staff claim that even after the building has closed down for the night, some still walk the halls of the old house. Visitors claim to have heard ghostly laughter, running footsteps in the hallways, and a strange mist that drifts from room to room of the house. In the main bedroom, staff claim to have seen a man in an old-fashioned suit sleeping quietly, who vanishes when approached. They speculate that this is the former builder and owner of the mansion.
