“Please use correct grammar, capitalization, and punctuation. Let’s try to keep this place looking classy.”

Um, if you take a close look at all of these stories a lot of them seem to be written by the same person who doesn’t know how to spell, use capital letters at the beginning of sentences, periods and the end of sentences.

Scarlett Ohara, your a ***** with a capital B. You don’t do so good your selfe. “periods and the end of sentences.” Ypur pathetic. This was a great story, and if you can’t see that then you don’t have the right to make fun of other people. If you want to tell me what you think of me I’m in Royalton MN.

Good story from Joshua Wozniak

What is with some of you people? Take Vannessa (5-1-06) for instance. What does your comment regarding your personal life have to do with Glensheen? Perhaps your time would be better spent with some professional help, rather than writing this remark, you’re in serious need of it. The guy having sex in the master bedroom? Get real. And the girl in the shower with the curtains blowing? You people are all messed up. Stick to the forum.
Are any of you aware of the fact that there was also another murder at Glensheen? Back in the 70’s a would be burglar was shot and killed on the balcony.

I visited Glensheen recently and the tour guide asked us if we had any questions about the murders. We asked and she told us what she knew. So I dont understand why other people say that the guides arent allowed to tell us about the murders.

I currently am a tourguide at Glensheen and I have been there over a year during the day and till 4am. Nothing strange has happened except fellow guides playing games with eachother by talking up or down the laundry shoot.The only reason people will feel cold drafts coming down into the basement is because of the tempature difference in floors and the draft from the door at the end of the hallway.Also if the Winter Garden is open a draft will be felt also. And Marjorie Caldwell was never convicted of the murders. He husband Roger Caldwell was. He went to jail. The reason we don’t speak of the murders a lot is because some of us don’t like to talk about it. Also is we have children or others on tour that don’t want to hear of the murders we prefer to talk about it after. We can answer any questions that you have about the murders, but not all of us know the full story.The most I can say is read “A Will To Murder” it explains the murders,the trials, and family history. Glensheen’s daughter is about Margjorie and the trials she went throught. That would be another to read if you want to get inside her mind.

This past school year we had a college graduation BBQ held there at Glensheen. A free tour was given to us. It was mine and my boyfriend’s first time being there. The house was amazing. I love the yard and the creek that runs through the yard under the bridge.
About the mansion, we knew of the murder. We tour almost every room but we didn’t know which was the room that Elizbeth was murdered in. Not knowing that, we weren’t scared or had any creepy feeling about the place.I loved all of the rooms. of course we did experienced some coldness but that was because it was cold that day. And since the house was huge it would be cold in certain areas.
The only thing I have to say about our tour was that since it was an open tour to us college student that day there was no guide walking us through the rooms, but there were people in each room in case if we want to know anything. Every room that we’ve been to there was a guide in there except one room. I don’t remeber which floor it was but that I thought was the brightest room in all that my boyfriend and I’ve been in. Well, the funny thing was that when we came upon that room we suddenly stopped at the door. We just stood there and paused for a little bit. I felt something strange inside of me. Anyways, we finally went into the room. The room was beautiful because the wall was covered in bamboo wallpaper.There was a rocking chair facing the the door way with a beautiful doll sitting on it. I guess that was what scared my boyfriend. We later learned from some friends who use to work there that that was the room the Elizabeth was murdered in and that the doll’s hair and eyelashes was made of real human hair.
That, I found was interesting.

Ashley–great post!

I, too, am a tour guide there (I’m the docent who likes to dress up–I wear a capelet with a black blouse and grey skirt). It’s fun because I used to work at Disneyland where I always wore a costume.

Anyway, I generally don’t bring up the murders if there are children in the tours. I’ve had many parents thank me for not talking about the crimes (gives the kids nightmares). However, after the tours I tell the group that if they are interested, they can read “Will to Murder” (and then I answer questions).

Michelle–were you there for UMD’s grad party? I was in the reception room if you did come through there. It was a great time–I learned so much! A grad from Pakistan was telling me that the home looked just like his grandfather’s in Pakistan. He then proceeded to tell ME all sorts of stuff about that style of house. It was really neat.

I hope you all can come and visit the mansion at some point.

I think I will try to go sometime.

Wow, Josh….Tell us how you really feel!

Btw, I wasn’t talking about the original story. I was talking about a lot of the posts that followed.

I have been to the mansion a couple years ago, but I didn’t experience anything strange. I don’t remember much about the tour since it was a while back. I did not know any details about the murders when I went on the tour, I only knew that someone was murdered. I’ve done a lot of research about the murders, and the story itself is amazing. All of you should read up on it instead of throwing out things like “My girlfriend was in the shower!” Okay, how? You are not allowed to touch ANYTHING in the mansion.

I just got back from Duluth yesterday, and my stepmother, grandma, and sister went on the tour of the mansion. They didn’t report anything unusual going on. I guess you’ll have to decide for yourself if it is really haunted.

I just returned today from a visit to the mansion…no weird things happened! I did see the blood stain on the wallpaper though.,,,the tour guide Tom pointed it out to us….that gave me the creeps. Terrible thing that happened there! Marjorie and her (now deceased husband) Roger Caldwell will and should rot in hell! Ms. Elisabeth and Nurse Velma did not deserve to die like that! Marjorie is an arsonist as well as a killer…she shouldn’t be walking around!

As an amateur ghost investigator, I have been doing a lot of research for the last few years on this area of study. People often get an aura of coldness or a creepy crawly feeling. I am convinced that ghosts and spirits are real and they are all around us. If you look real hard and are more open minded they will show themselves to you if they believe it might give them peace. Sometimes you have to give a leap of faith and believing is sometimes more than just seeing. Anyone have any stories, haunting places or anyother Minnesota lore please send them to me at KMtuner@aol.com

I did whitness the lights we’re on that scared the heck out of me.

I respect any one’s feelings on any hauntings first… I am Clairvoyant medium.. walking through Glensheen, I just could not feel any thing. I just got a sense of a quite old home. Fairlawn Mansion though, across the bridge in Superior, a friend confirmed what I saw, was a young boy about 11 or so, running through the rooms. Others have seen two girls in the basement, and also a housekeeper. My friend and myself only saw the boy (in our 3rd eye)for those that understand.

My husband and i went to Glensheen a couple of yrs ago and we had no haunting experiences. That whole place is just awesome! The tour guides couldn’t talk about the murders yet at that time so we didn’t learn the whole story until after we had been there. I would really like to go on a tour again and hear from the tour guides about the murders. I would also be interested in seeing the areas the murders took place.

I am a professor at a college in Utah. I came up to visit my niece and she wanted to take me on the tour. I felt the urge to go with her and experience the thrill of being scared. I wasnt at all frightened, but i was quite anxious. I ventured into the basement dark deep basement all alone….BOY DID I HAVE A GREAT TIME.. I exploded in my pants as i let a HUGE one rip!!!!i had a fantisimic experience at the glensheen because when i farted the ghost was scared and disappereared.

i went on a tour. i pooped. fun. times. as i saw a ghost. it was there beside me taking a ****. night night diary…..

Actually the accused murdered was the husband of Marjorie, Elisabeth Congdon’s adopted daughter. Elisabeth and her nurse were slain by Roger Caldwell.

hello i live in duluth and i was just there i use to volenteer there and it was kinda wired and yet i felt great to know that a very hard working family lived there. there is alot of history to the glensheen mansion. like if you have toured it i there are pinapples that ment you were welcome in there home if they were covered for any reason it ment that you need to leave. as soon as possible, or in other trems that you were no longer welcome in there home. and there are lions in the home. they mean wealth power, royalty, and prossperious. they also have a romeo and juliet tearess. also they have now just started to talk about the murders. they all ask you if you are all if you are all comfertable with talking about it. there were to 2 murders that i am awear of the nurse and elisbeth witch if yo all did not know was marjorie’s addopited mother if there are any other questions email me at zacerig@yahoo.cm thanks have a great day. p.s. the nurse was murdered on the steps going to the second floor. also elisbeth was sufficated in her bed.

I was recently in Duluth for the airshow. While entering the main building the prosecuting attorney was selling his book, “THE WILL TO KILL.” My sister bought it and of course he autographed it but it was then I was interested in reading about the Glensheen murders, especially knowing that Marjorie is now free and probably crazy as ever. Therefore I purchased another book about Glensheen while walking around Canal Park. Its been very difficult to put the book down, how one person can be so coniving is inconceivable. Elisabeth sure adopted a bad seed. As far as the mansion, its a historical site for other reasons rather than the murders. The murders may have increased the interest of potential vistors. Although I am not sure about the spirits they say roam the mansion, I was told an interesting story the other day by a couple who visited the mansion. They walked in with their baby and soon after the child started crying terribly. The father had to exit the building only to be followed by employees asking if the child was okay. The child never before cried so hysterically and hasnt since the incident. All in all the murders at Glensheen was all about greed. Marjorie had everything given to her but only wanted more. Whereas Jennifer, Marjories sister was the opposite. Unfortunately Jennifer and Marjories inheritance was challenged by other family members because of their adoption into the family. Eventually a court ruled that the girls wold receive their inheritance as their mother wished. Jennifer should have received it all because I dont think Marjorie deserved a damn thing. She was wicked as a child only to become an adult and continue to destroy other peoples lives. That woman does not deserve the freedom she has today.
