I’ve never heard this to confirm, but do follow signage for your own safety. Me and some buddies went there back when we were in school, about 20 years ago. Dude is probably tired of all the visitors now, tons of kids in my school made plans to go and check this place out.
It's so cool hearing about folklore from my own state, I've never heard of these things before but that's most probably because I live in the city, but either way this was a really cool video. Thanks!
What city if you don't mind me asking I assume you mean Fargo being the biggest and he talks about Bismarck. The only other place I would bet on is Grand Forks or Minot. Not many places can vaguely be referred to as the city with as massive of a population as North Dakota 😂
@@DillyBobBanana I'm from Fargo lol, I consider it a city at least, I guess I've never really been in too many larger cities to get a feel for what size people would consider a city, but I know Fargo feels very cityish to me so I've always called it one
North Dakota is really cool and many don’t know. We have our own weather blocking system called The Bismarck Bubble, we tend to block out the worst of the worst for storms.
I grew up in the area around Walhalla and it was a right of passage to walk down "white lady lane", which is a little dirt road that runs along the creek that Eddies Bridge spans, at night. I personally have never seen anything but the area is creepy and people are sure to keep items (rope hanging from the bridge or white cloth tied to trees) near or on the site to keep the legend alive.
Hello hello neighbor! I heard about this legend from Cavalier. My friends and I wanted to go to White Lady's lane when we were in High School, but sadly we never got the chance.
Had never heard of the Fargo elephant story. Something similar happened in Devils Lake, ND, back in the 1940’s! The library had old newspapers available for viewing these old stories. Her name was Vera!
I’ve been looking for a video like this for a while. I’ve lived in North Dakota my entire life, and have always had a huge interest in the paranormal. I never see anyone covering anything that happens here (sometimes it feels like the rest of the world doesn’t know we exist) so this was amazing to watch!! Seriously, thank you!! P.S, even though I love spooky things, I’m sure I would faint if I ever witnessed any actual supernatural occurrences. I’m a huge chicken lmao!
@@MiscellanAtlas I’m so glad you enjoyed it! That’s sorta my whole motivation with this channel, to give some love to the awesome and obscure folklore in the USA (and beyond eventually). Thank you for stopping by!
My family has talked a lot about the houses they lived in, in bismark being haunted! my dads childhood home was haunted and the last house he lived in was haunted too. He had the police the clear the house on two separate occasions due to the noises between the walls and in the basement he was always hearing but they found nothing. Once when his sister came over they both said they heard the back door open, someone kick snow off of their boots, and walk inside, but the door was still locked when they checked. When he was moving in he found holy water that was left by the last owner. Lots of ghost stories from bismark.
@@IndependentOreo yeah it seems that way! In the future I might dig deeper into all of the haunted places there. I was blown away by the number of stories of haunted residences I found.
All of your videos are good, T! This one included ...the delivery of these stories is really easy to listen to, clear and not monotone. so nice to hear good HUMAN narration. Thanks for taking the time and doing all the research:)
My mom used to work at Peacock Alley as a bartender. She and her other coworkers hated going into the basement to stock up on alcohol and whatnot. They would always feel a huge sense of dread whenever they would go down there. Also, she would see glasses and silverware move and sometimes get knocked over (mind you, my memory is a little foggy so this might not be 1000% accurate) and she undoubtedly heard noises upstairs - as if there was a gathering of people hanging around. She did not have that job for very long lol. The food is pretty great though.
I'll be honest, i live in bismarck and I've never heard of any of these! I'm glad you went through the effort to find stories for this state. I thank you for the work and this was a great watch
I know an ex-firefighter from Bismarck who claims that there are old prohibition tunnels downtown and that they would have to periodically inspect them to make sure they weren't collapsing or inhabited. I legit don't know if he was pulling my leg or not, but that would definitely explain some of the hauntings you described.
@@spudnikflyover1227 that wouldn’t surprise me. There are relics from prohibition all over the place! People died for their booze, you can’t take it away from them.
They’re real, I live there and most of them are blocked off now but around Halloween last year I went on a downtown tour where they talked about the history and alleged hauntings and one part was going down into the beginning of a blocked off tunnel. It was really neat
Good video Ive heard a few of these legends here in our state but not all of them. You refered to North Carolina instead of North Dakota in one spot as well. I know a couple people that have visited San Haven and have strange stories to tell and sightings that were unexplainable.
Also, San Haven had a fire the last time I was there, we were gonna explore it but I noticed smoke and then the sheriffs out there told us to leave because the fire was uncontrolled
Hello. I moved to Bismarck as a kid and have lived here for most of my life. I often enjoy driving around at night and looking at the old buildings that populate the downtown area. The buildings there give off an eerie vibe, and there are known to be tunnels underneath the downtown area, which I believe were also there from the prohibition days. I think I heard somewhere that most of them have been collapsed, though. I also worked at a butcher shop in town for five years, only recently quitting. That building was built in 1936 and has always given me the creepiest vibes whenever I was alone there, whether that was staying late, coming in early, or coming in the middle of the night to use the restroom or switch out the smoker, I had been in there alone many times and always heard creepy and saw stuff. Firstly, no matter where I was in the building, in these odd hours when the building was almost empty, I would constantly see shadow people turning corners or just walking by. When I was away from the entrance or front of the store, sometimes I swore I heard the front door bell swing and chime as if someone had just entered. Other weird things happened here and there, such as the sound of coolers doors opening and closing, or the sound of someone walking in the back room. The basement was the worst. It had much less remodeling done than the main floor and was pretty much just used for storage. I would not be surprised if it was haunted down there. I could swear on multiple occasions i could hear footsteps, things moving/falling, or very soft voices down there, as well as the noises I mentioned before coming from upstairs. Another aspect of the downstairs of that building was what I and some other coworkers always thought was a tunnel entrance, like the ones I mentioned before. It looked like an entrance and was pointed towards the building (also old and creepy) across the street. Lastly, the elevator shaft that ran right next to the stairs. That was by far the creepiest and least furnished thing in the entire store. It was like looking into the past every time I opened the door to look up and down the shaft. Really weird and creepy vibes from that specific area of the building. Who knows what things could have happened in that building, but it always gave me really terrifying vibes.
@@foreverstorytime2566 that’s a good idea. I’m sure there’s enough paranormal history even in just the city of Bismarck to make an entire video about. I’ll probably check out the local library for any books on the matter
As someone who moved to North Dakota I hadn't heard of all of these stories, only the hell town and the sanitarium. But ghosts in Bismarck was a new one
@@matthewmccarty8191 😂 finally someone comments about my promise. Hey, we’ll see if I get there. If I get a few million somehow I’ll figure something out.
Haunted houses always make me think of the time a laboratory had workers report of gray balls of light moving around in the corner of their eyes. They decided to take some measurements and found their new air system was releasing a inaudible hum that made their eyes vibrate. Just the right frequency to make them see the balls of light 🤯 I can’t remember if they reported any other problems but they can’t be the only ones with wonky air systems!
19:45 I have always said that when I go, I will definitely haunt my old house, even though it's been remodeled. If such a thing is possible, I will be there. I never sold it; my husband forged my signature and sold it and the money "disappeared". I loved my house, and it was built in 1892.
I live 10 miles away from San Haven, and growing up here I’ve always heard about the stories. One of my deceased fathers ex girlfriends told me and my little sisters one night while we were all camping at the SkyDancer Hotel that one of her friends fell down an elevator shaft and passed away while exploring San Haven with a crew back in the day. Creepy stuff
aw heck even if ya dont, this is a dope vid and if i said it was very well done itd be an insult to steak, so ima say this is rare quality and professionally done! keep it up stranger! you're doin it right bruh
Hey! I dropped a like. Funny story. I live in North Dakota. When I first moved here I also pronounced Arikara the same as you. Are-E-car-uh. My wife laughed pretty hard as Arikara St. is not from our house in Bismarck. When we drive by we still joke about it. It is actually pronounced. A-Rick-err-uh. In my masculine need to be right, I chased it pretty far until I watched a couple of You Tube videos of actual Arikara tribe members.
As someone who was born and raised in Bismarck North Dakota, I have been in Custer house. And have had family go in the Patterson house. Apparently, things move around when there weren't many people there've only really heard about the stuff in Bismarck. In fact, I have been to all haunted places in Bismarck.
The building on the left of Peacock Alley is the Dakota Stage. I don't know much lore on it but supposedly it haunted. Sleepy Hollow also has a headless horseman.
Fort Lincoln is definitely haunted, my best friend and I would take our dogs out to run the trail out there… There are guard towers where I had my experience… and right by those buildings is an old cemetery and you can see exactly where each body was exhumed after the decommissioning. Soldiers would attempt to cross the Missouri due to there being a ‘bar/brothel’ just across the way.. many men drown in the river. But.. you can walk out into the middle of a field and feel like you aren’t alone. I lived for a year in a home that was a new build (within the last 10 yrs)… the owner dug up arrowheads and didn’t give back to the land… let’s just say the guy has had one hell of a difficult time in areas of life.. particularly if I female lives in the home. Massive chaos energy wise along with developing hard alcohol issues… even when that person has never been a drinker. NoDak isn’t considered anything special… but we have some weird shit that goes on. There are tunnels under Peacock Alley that connects most of the downtown district. You can be out working in the field and KNOW you’re not alone. Born and Raised Here.. and have had many wild experiences. There was a Family Murdered in Turtle Lake in the late 1800s…. With very concerning similarities to the Valisca Axe Murder House and a murder of a family in Germany… Most of the settlements are German Russian or German immigrants.. (my own Great Grandfather being one to immigrate as a Reverend.. all of his certificates are in German).
@@channelingprogram thanks for the comment. Interesting you feel that fort Lincoln is haunted! I find it interesting that a replica of a fort would be haunted by former residents, though, unless the spirits are attached to the land. I also find it interesting that folks claim that the individuals that passed at Custer’s last stand went back to the fort.
Most of those tunnels are blocked off and filled now unfortunately. I had a tour of part of them and they’re hella cool, there’s just not a full labyrinth anymore 😢
@@foreverstorytime2566 Funny Fort Lincoln was brought up. I live just a couple minutes from the walking trail that leads to the replica house. I used to longboard the trail all the way down to the replica house, literally daily. I ended up buying an electric longboard eventually, pretty much for my dog lol. My point im getting at though is last night I was watching Live Tik Toks, I had the idea that I should longboard to the fort buildings on the hill and cemetery and go live there ghost hunting. I have absolutely no equipment to do it other than a couple phones, and my silent board to get there.. but no ghost hunter equipment. My house was built near a native burial site that is getting disturbed by erosion. The spirits used to be pissed and mess with me a lot but I have since gotten dream catchers and I have them at every entrance to my room. Legit native American made dream catchers are the only things that work. I really want to do that tik tok live but I dont really know if itd be worth it. Id have to just do it for fun pretty much haha and I am a chicken shit
My Uncles house(in the late 90's/early 00's) was a rum runners house and had a tunnel that ran out of town. My cousin and I were walking through it and found old animal bones freaked us out as kids. They would block it off later that year and the city would fill it in after the flood.
Explored the old sanatorium and heard screams my friends can back up, we chose to laugh it off to not be terrified. I took some souvenirs home and swear I saw shadow people moving around at night. I threw it all away afterwards. Have never returned back there and never will.
I've been to San Haven once being from belcourt and having worked in Dunseith at dales ("Duhn-seeth" is how you'd pronounce it by the way) My grandmother told me about the boy who fell down the elevator shaft there. It's definitely has a little bit of a reputation but when I went there nothing special happened, just very dark hallways and after heading up the stairs I went back down and left.
Thanks for correcting me on the pronunciation. Thanks for the comment! Sounds creepy, a lot of folks in the comment claim wild stuff happened to them while they were there, but good to hear an alternative take!
I grew up in walhalla and me, my brother, and a couple friends drove up and down white lady lane late at night and we all saw and heard sticks thrown at us and after the first bunch of trees on the left side we saw a tall white last with leaves swirling around her and we went there a couple other times but never saw her again and frankly don’t want to again
I’m sure you put a lot of work and effort into this video. And most ppl don’t appreciate that as much as they should. I’m sure there’s very little stock footage of old abandoned churches on the plains, which is why the palm trees can mostly be overlooked. But the pronunciation at 41:10 “Aree Kara” ppl? Unless it’s changed in the last few years it should be “A Rick A Raw”
@@johntjaden6761 thanks, yep there’s some issues but it’s certainly a lot of work to get all the stories right. You live and you learn, though! I’ve made changes in more recent videos. Regarding the pronunciation, you’re right! I didn’t realize this at the time, and in the future I’ll adjust my pronunciation.
I live in Fargo and myself and my son went to Horace Mann Elementary school. The elephant buried there is something I was told also. It would be very difficult to dig it up now because the land is completely developed and very close to downtown 😊
@@jamessullivan465 hey, maybe they can use X-rays or something 😂. They’ve detected ancient tombs by monitoring gravitational anomalies? Maybe something like that? This is all a joke/pipe dream, but I think it’s a really fun story!
Eyyy, I'm from ND and currently live in a ND/MN city ☺️ I'm super confused. I've been here for 30 years, and I've not heard most of these legends.. lol San Haven, yes. Haunting in general, yes. The Cryptids? No. We have a zoo where there's camels so that's true..
@@foreverstorytime2566 no I know that but I've been a Dakotan and never heard these things. My family has been here for hundreds+ yrs as well but haven't heard this stuff. Def gonna have to Google about more ND legends! Just found this on my "for you page" today. Do you do every state? MN has crazy stories!
@@ShelbyRiemer yep! I do every state. I’m working my way through the country alphabetically, so I’ve already hit MN once! I need to revisit my earlier videos though, they weren’t nearly comprehensive enough.
North Dakotan here, the Tagus one I feel has some remote truth to it. A couple buddies and I went and visited a few years back and we never could shake the overwhelming sense of just...evil is the only way to describe it. We didn't know the history at the time and after we left when we couldn't take it anymore, we did some research into the town and learned of the history. There's something evil there in a way I can't really describe. For a bit of context, I'm not a super huge believer in the paranormal (though the stories are fun) and can almost always find a logical explanation to debunk them....but this was different. I wish I could explain better but there's definitely...something going on there. I also strongly believe that whatever Gormund saw that fateful day in 1948 wasn't human...whatever it was. A lot of it can be written off as circumstantial or him being tired from flying for an extended period of time, but there's just something to the story that holds weight that I just have that gut feeling about. My grandfather joined the military a few years later and got to meet Gormund himself (then older and closer to retiring than not) and I heard the story first from my grandfather telling me of his conversation with Gormund about it. Might be where the gut feeling comes from tbh, but hearing it, quite literally, second hand and knowing how well respected he was adds some credibility imo. Overall a great video and very informative. If you ever do a part two there's some other urban legends you could 100% cover like the Minot AFB UFO incident from the 1950s (I might be misremembering the timeframe) and a Minot ghost that tended to dig through people's freezers only to vanish when caught. For such an unpopulated state it's kinda crazy how many legends there actually are. Cheers mate, and thanks for covering my home state with such respect and in such a good informative nature. :D
@@RenewedAurora thanks for the great insight, I really appreciate it! I’m sure I’ll revisit North Dakota, thank you so much for the leads on more stories to research!
My wife and I live in Dunseith near San Haven, we Ojibwa Native Americans have a few cryptids Rugarou is one of them that I've personally encountered around four times since 2003 also portals around San Haven I have pictures of. Also a Doctor that worked in San Haven in the 70s wrote a book called Rugarou check it out for your self the road near San Haven is called lake shooty road it is where most of the community has been seeing these Rugarou or Dogman
Rougarou is a slaughtered version of French Arcadian loup-garou which literally translates to man wolf. I hate to correct you but there's no rougarou in ND because the French Arcadian people don't live there. Might be a reference to Ha-na-tá-nu-maúk who was a Mandan chief known by the French as chef-de-loup, wolf chief
Custer's house is 3 stories, not 2. I only know that because I toured it many times. There is a cheesy story about a mountain lion they kept in the basement. Along with the basement, there are two more floors.
A quick note on the Custer house. The main reason why things get riled up is because they use it as a haunted attraction in October. So all of that energy is being poured into the houses and land out there. Essentially inviting it in. A lot of the land in the Bismarck/Mandan area was tribal land and I’m sure a good portion of it was used for burial grounds. If anything there are soldiers haunting the park, not Custer himself. My husband’s cousin used to live out there 15 or 20ish years ago and he would sometimes hear a bugle horn sound in the early morning hours when nobody was out at the park yet.
One of my dad’s friends went there a few years ago for the Halloween event and she kind of ended up away from everyone else. He said that she told him that she saw a man in uniform march by and she assumed he was one of the people who dress up but he disappeared right in front of her
I've heard of all of these, and seen a live feed of the sanatorium being shut down, in addition to the bismarck tribune building being haunted. I think there's a story of one of the the universities being haunted, and a couple buildings in medora.
Thanks for the tips! Im going to revisit ND at some point, I may do a video like I did for Ohio attempting to cover every haunted place. Tons of research involved, but I like being comprehensive
All right so I’m from Fargo used to run around at the capital in Bismarck as a kid late 80’s early 90’s grandma was a secretary there way back in the day so she lived close and we horses around there nothing there I’ve ever seen but it’s not like I was there in the guts of the building at night. I can recommend looking into troll wood park an old old cemetery where bodies and coffins were moved else where but it was turned into a city park and theater place but that is right in the red river it floods out all the time and old remnants from old grave yard have been found along with bones they couldn’t move all of the bodies but headstones they did still a few out there but Im hardcore frolfer and that’s my favorite course that is there now and its very strange at dusk seen stuff out of corner of my eyes hear what sounds like talking but no one around. I like to go late because I bring my dogs and let them run around playing as I throw and no one will be there to complain about not being on leashes. I have pictures of that place but nothing really captured as far as I can tell. It’s a very eerie place with the history the location and the creepy weeping willow trees that drape down to the grass that’s where you think you see movement but only out of corner of eye. So Trollwood park is worth the research for you in Fargo,nd and also Yonkers farm house it’s called a old farm house that was converted to a children’s education museum type of place and the NDSU library on 10th st n or university drive the roads are side by side and can’t remember what road it is but figures are seen there as well.
@@brandonjaniko5280 thanks for the leads and the great stories here! I’ve jotted this down on my list of “visit this place when I visit North Dakota” spots.
Dude. Yunker Farm is creepy. I remember going there as a kid and finding that, for some reason, they had all the lights upstairs turned off. Attribute it to my being a child, but I felt like I was being watched when I went up there.
Born and raised in North Dakota so this video is super funny...when i wemt to General Custers replica 😂 house back in 6th grade, i will say that it had a very creepy feel the whole time i remember being there. That could be because i was 12 and there were soldiers in replica, time period clothing yelling at us like drill Sergeants 😂
I have been to Custer’s house, San Haven, and all the sites in Bismarck. I’ve never experienced anything paranormal but my husband’s friend was a security guard at the capitol until a few years ago. He swears up and down the capitol library is haunted. He is a very no-nonsense kind of guy so that coming from him adds a bit of legitimacy.
Interesting! Crazy that Bismarck and San Haven aren't haunted but of all places the Capitol library may be. Sounds like there are quite a few stories about it, though!
@@Pizz_mc.rizz75 your state has had the best turn-out so far to any of my videos, so I’m going to follow-up with it sooner than expected, too! Thanks for the amazing turn out!!
I deliver beer in Bismarck, and frequently deliver to Peacock Alley. There is a basement where all of our alcohol goes, and I always go down there alone to deliver to the cooler/storeroom. I have never personally felt, heard, or seen anything down there, BUT HEY, maybe the ghosts just love beer and let me do my job. The world may never know.
I was in high school in late Seventies, probably 78 ! I worked at Mr. Steak and this early fall. At the end of the night we , everyone working that shift , decided to go to the desert south of mary College. Just a Missouri river bottom with lots of trees. When we all got there, one of the cooks and I decided to walk to the water. It was really dark that night. When we got to the waters edge. There were a lot of shadows that i thought they were trees out in the water. We are talking and all of a sudden one of the trees I thought look kinda strange . it was about 30 to 50 ft out in the water. It was seeming to move. I said to my co-worker what is that out in the water. We both watch and all of a sudden it moved turning sideways. ReVealing soming different that was there before. It had huge shoulders and shaggy like hair! My moved lots faster then I could. I screamed his name and he came back for me. Pulled me. I was stunned. But then we ran. And everyone at the left including. I didn’t hear about anybody else that had seen Bigfoot in that area of North Dakota but it sure convinced me there was a big foot.
@@rondamonroe5801 woah, that’s an awesome story! Thank you for sharing! I’ve personally never had an experience like that, but if I did it would absolutely make me a believer!
I grew up near San Haven, always felt like someone was watching me from the windows, my great grandma was there as a tuberculosis patient. I heard it was a beautiful place in its time.
@@foreverstorytime2566my mom played for the patients when she was in high school and my dad worked there when the close the place down and opened some sort of sewing shop in the basement, the break room was up stairs and he said it was creepy waking up to the break room. Not sure if anything paranormal happened to them but still creepy to hear from my parents
The character of Ali Hakeem in the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical "Oklahoma" was a Persian Peddlar. While not Syrian, it's close. He was very much a ladies' man. I wonder if the story you told was inspired by the musical, or maybe the musical is inspired by the story.
@@keithmiller6277 holy moly, I should look into this. I watched Oklahoma a few times when I was younger and I hadn’t even thought of this connection. Great eye for detail!!
Thanks so much! Sorry for the mispronunciation, it’s amazing doing this series to know I’m “fluent” in English and see how much regional variation there is, really cool to see.
How could you not include the State Hospital Grounds in Jamestown?!?! Hector is known to haunt LaHaug. There are numerous ghosts reported at the James River Correctional Facility that shares a campus and is in the oldest of the buildings that previously held state hospital patients. I, personally, heard *something* in the basement of the mostly unused building called 16 West: very heavy, shuffling footsteps coming from the direction of the old tunnels and what sounded to be an old radio playing music from the 1920s or 30s in the northwest corner at the same time. The corner was not easily accessible due to piping that ran through the entire basement. The first floor of the building is used for engineering, but this was a Sunday afternoon and no one was there from the department. The second and third floors are practically falling in due to neglect and disuse. The barns are also allegedly haunted, although I never got to see inside them myself. The University of Jamestown Kroeze Hall is haunted by a former student that--you know--and was obsessive about rubik's cubes and you can hear him spinning the sides. There is also a little girl in a dress that haunts one of the other dorms, although I can't remember which one off the top of my head. No one is sure who she is or why she is there.
My buddys old girlfriend and him went to go visit the sanitarium, stupidly. They took a photo while they were there, and she looked like she was an elderly woman in her 80's or so. She was in her early 20's at the time. I guess she also had deep scratch wounds on her back where she wouldnt be able to reach. Scary stuff. Just goes to show.. leave that kinda stuff alone.
I've been to Ft. Lincoln. Spent an entire weekend hiking and investigating the area. It's not even remotely haunted. Even took pictures of the cemetery. Also, the costumes aren't accurate, they are machine sewn. The staff are amazing though and my grandson wants to go back.
umm. Winnipeg is a city in Manitoba Canada and is more than 5 miles a from ND. good place from a class trip though if you take chaperones that look other way for minor drinking :) ND certainty felt like hell growing up so sure stair way to why not
Is the custer replica built on the original site? I think when we see or feel ghosts, sometimes we are actually hearing or seeing into the past. I know I am odd
@@jonigeszvain3084 I wasn’t able to tell if the site was EXACTLY the same but I’m pretty sure it’s nearby the original. Don’t think you’re weird! I think there’s a lot science hasn’t yet explained, and I think that ghosts even if they aren’t real are an integral part of the human experience. I genuinely believe people see them whether they are in our minds or exist independently.
Devils Lake resident moved here 10 years ago! It’s weird that you say for some reason, I always had this eerrie feeling of like the past had some devil worship going on! Idk maybe I’m crazy!! lol… JK.

You should have covered that time a guy that came to ND to ranch but just killed a lot of cattle and said he wanted to kill almost all natives. Teddy Roosevelt. People in ND imagine he did something else.
New subscriber... Thanks for the interesting videos although we didn't appreciate the 52 minute advertising video, crammed in around the ten minute mark of this 48 minutes video... Why ?
Arikara Uh-RICK-uh-RAH Almost everyone gets that wrong. Appreciate you!! Also, when growing up the ghost stories I heard about Custer's house were mostly about his wife. That she is still waiting for him to return from the battle. I believe there are some original items in the recreation too...but I could be wrong!
@@morganr3981 thank you for the clarification on that, I appreciate it! I’m always hoping to do better, and as someone who speaks a handful of languages I still struggle to pronounce anything in any Native American dialect. Regarding the Custer house, it looks like I was maybe a bit too negative on it! It looks like it’s built on top of the original house (supposedly) and, yes), that it has lots of original items inside.
a lot of it is shakey at best but heckin good video but you didnt at all bring up the lake up here that was filled while natives were living at the base of what use to be land but is now submerged
“Lowkey” these are real stories that are mostly easy to research and find around North Dakota. Not a single state in the USA is boring, if it’s boring to you you’re just not looking for the right things to do.
The true conspiracy theory is that there's really no evidence to show that TH-cam does anything when somebody uses the word gun or murder or any of that stuff. I really do not like the infantilization of all these words. I don't think it's good for people. Kittens Terrible act

Sure thing! I definitely got the “5 miles to Winnipeg” thing way off.. (meant Manitoba) but otherwise I’m so glad you enjoyed!
What city if you don't mind me asking I assume you mean Fargo being the biggest and he talks about Bismarck. The only other place I would bet on is Grand Forks or Minot. Not many places can vaguely be referred to as the city with as massive of a population as North Dakota 😂
@@DillyBobBanana I'm from Fargo lol, I consider it a city at least, I guess I've never really been in too many larger cities to get a feel for what size people would consider a city, but I know Fargo feels very cityish to me so I've always called it one

I grew up in the area around Walhalla and it was a right of passage to walk down "white lady lane", which is a little dirt road that runs along the creek that Eddies Bridge spans, at night. I personally have never seen anything but the area is creepy and people are sure to keep items (rope hanging from the bridge or white cloth tied to trees) near or on the site to keep the legend alive.
@@joshuawestra3376 I love this!
Hello hello neighbor! I heard about this legend from Cavalier. My friends and I wanted to go to White Lady's lane when we were in High School, but sadly we never got the chance.
I did too and my and my brother has had sticks thrown at us one night and saw a tall white figure with leaves swirling around her feet
Greetings Cousin, if you lived in Walhalla N.D. then we probably are related. Have a Nice Day.
For us around park river it was the old big schoolhouse that was the rumored “haunted spot”
Had never heard of the Fargo elephant story. Something similar happened in Devils Lake, ND, back in the 1940’s! The library had old newspapers available for viewing these old stories. Her name was Vera!
@@DiaperGravy that’s amazing! So cool that they had crazy old news stories available to look at.
I’ve been looking for a video like this for a while. I’ve lived in North Dakota my entire life, and have always had a huge interest in the paranormal. I never see anyone covering anything that happens here (sometimes it feels like the rest of the world doesn’t know we exist) so this was amazing to watch!! Seriously, thank you!! P.S, even though I love spooky things, I’m sure I would faint if I ever witnessed any actual supernatural occurrences. I’m a huge chicken lmao!

My family has talked a lot about the houses they lived in, in bismark being haunted! my dads childhood home was haunted and the last house he lived in was haunted too.
He had the police the clear the house on two separate occasions due to the noises between the walls and in the basement he was always hearing but they found nothing.
Once when his sister came over they both said they heard the back door open, someone kick snow off of their boots, and walk inside, but the door was still locked when they checked.
When he was moving in he found holy water that was left by the last owner.
Lots of ghost stories from bismark.
@@IndependentOreo yeah it seems that way! In the future I might dig deeper into all of the haunted places there. I was blown away by the number of stories of haunted residences I found.
Bismarck. Not bismark.

Upside down cross is also a symbol for St. Peter as he was martyrd crucified upside down
@@HikingForLoot I was unaware of that. I’ll look that up. A lot of folks blanket attribute that to cult activity.
@@foreverstorytime2566Live in ND and ya I always heard of the cult.
My mom used to work at Peacock Alley as a bartender. She and her other coworkers hated going into the basement to stock up on alcohol and whatnot. They would always feel a huge sense of dread whenever they would go down there. Also, she would see glasses and silverware move and sometimes get knocked over (mind you, my memory is a little foggy so this might not be 1000% accurate) and she undoubtedly heard noises upstairs - as if there was a gathering of people hanging around. She did not have that job for very long lol. The food is pretty great though.
Woah, that's awesome to get a first-hand account of the place! Great to hear the food is good. I'm gonna go there whenever I'm in town!
most of downtown is haunted lol. I'm friends with the family that opened brick oven bakery and their basement is haunted as well
I'll be honest, i live in bismarck and I've never heard of any of these! I'm glad you went through the effort to find stories for this state. I thank you for the work and this was a great watch
Thank you so much, I’m so glad I was able to bring something new to the table for a local!
I know an ex-firefighter from Bismarck who claims that there are old prohibition tunnels downtown and that they would have to periodically inspect them to make sure they weren't collapsing or inhabited. I legit don't know if he was pulling my leg or not, but that would definitely explain some of the hauntings you described.
@@spudnikflyover1227 that wouldn’t surprise me. There are relics from prohibition all over the place! People died for their booze, you can’t take it away from them.
They’re real, I live there and most of them are blocked off now but around Halloween last year I went on a downtown tour where they talked about the history and alleged hauntings and one part was going down into the beginning of a blocked off tunnel. It was really neat
😂 imagine that, a museum built to have big groups visit is chilly, sounds like some good building planning!
@@XOguitargurlOX hahaha, exactly my thoughts 😂
Good video Ive heard a few of these legends here in our state but not all of them. You refered to North Carolina instead of North Dakota in one spot as well. I know a couple people that have visited San Haven and have strange stories to tell and sightings that were unexplainable.
Thanks for dropping by, glad you enjoyed the video! Oops, I’d just finished North Carolina so it was fresh on my mind, I’ll have to check that out…
Living in the somewhat middle of ND, very interesting video definitely gonna share this with friends.
Also, San Haven had a fire the last time I was there, we were gonna explore it but I noticed smoke and then the sheriffs out there told us to leave because the fire was uncontrolled
Thanks so much for sharing, glad you enjoyed this. I’m really excited to eventually visit North Dakota and see these places for myself one day.

Hello. I moved to Bismarck as a kid and have lived here for most of my life. I often enjoy driving around at night and looking at the old buildings that populate the downtown area. The buildings there give off an eerie vibe, and there are known to be tunnels underneath the downtown area, which I believe were also there from the prohibition days. I think I heard somewhere that most of them have been collapsed, though.
I also worked at a butcher shop in town for five years, only recently quitting. That building was built in 1936 and has always given me the creepiest vibes whenever I was alone there, whether that was staying late, coming in early, or coming in the middle of the night to use the restroom or switch out the smoker, I had been in there alone many times and always heard creepy and saw stuff. Firstly, no matter where I was in the building, in these odd hours when the building was almost empty, I would constantly see shadow people turning corners or just walking by. When I was away from the entrance or front of the store, sometimes I swore I heard the front door bell swing and chime as if someone had just entered. Other weird things happened here and there, such as the sound of coolers doors opening and closing, or the sound of someone walking in the back room. The basement was the worst. It had much less remodeling done than the main floor and was pretty much just used for storage. I would not be surprised if it was haunted down there. I could swear on multiple occasions i could hear footsteps, things moving/falling, or very soft voices down there, as well as the noises I mentioned before coming from upstairs. Another aspect of the downstairs of that building was what I and some other coworkers always thought was a tunnel entrance, like the ones I mentioned before. It looked like an entrance and was pointed towards the building (also old and creepy) across the street. Lastly, the elevator shaft that ran right next to the stairs. That was by far the creepiest and least furnished thing in the entire store. It was like looking into the past every time I opened the door to look up and down the shaft. Really weird and creepy vibes from that specific area of the building. Who knows what things could have happened in that building, but it always gave me really terrifying vibes.
Thanks for the great stories, sounds like a really spooky place to work. You should tell your story on TH-cam!
@@foreverstorytime2566 that’s a good idea. I’m sure there’s enough paranormal history even in just the city of Bismarck to make an entire video about. I’ll probably check out the local library for any books on the matter
As someone who moved to North Dakota I hadn't heard of all of these stories, only the hell town and the sanitarium. But ghosts in Bismarck was a new one
Many more coming in the next few months! Thanks so much for your comment, and I’m glad I could offer you some insight into your home state!

Haunted houses always make me think of the time a laboratory had workers report of gray balls of light moving around in the corner of their eyes. They decided to take some measurements and found their new air system was releasing a inaudible hum that made their eyes vibrate. Just the right frequency to make them see the balls of light 🤯 I can’t remember if they reported any other problems but they can’t be the only ones with wonky air systems!

19:45 I have always said that when I go, I will definitely haunt my old house, even though it's been remodeled. If such a thing is possible, I will be there. I never sold it; my husband forged my signature and sold it and the money "disappeared". I loved my house, and it was built in 1892.
Sorry to hear this happened to you, but I wish you well in your haunting! don’t pass up something great to do it, though!
I live 10 miles away from San Haven, and growing up here I’ve always heard about the stories. One of my deceased fathers ex girlfriends told me and my little sisters one night while we were all camping at the SkyDancer Hotel that one of her friends fell down an elevator shaft and passed away while exploring San Haven with a crew back in the day. Creepy stuff

Funny story. I live in North Dakota. When I first moved here I also pronounced Arikara the same as you. Are-E-car-uh. My wife laughed pretty hard as Arikara St. is not from our house in Bismarck. When we drive by we still joke about it. It is actually pronounced. A-Rick-err-uh. In my masculine need to be right, I chased it pretty far until I watched a couple of You Tube videos of actual Arikara tribe members.

As someone who was born and raised in Bismarck North Dakota, I have been in Custer house. And have had family go in the Patterson house. Apparently, things move around when there weren't many people there've only really heard about the stuff in Bismarck. In fact, I have been to all haunted places in Bismarck.
@@kadenzelmer quite the traveler! Hopefully I can take a proper tour around Bismarck soon
The building on the left of Peacock Alley is the Dakota Stage. I don't know much lore on it but supposedly it haunted. Sleepy Hollow also has a headless horseman.
Thanks for the tips for my next pass-through!
Fort Lincoln is definitely haunted, my best friend and I would take our dogs out to run the trail out there…
There are guard towers where I had my experience… and right by those buildings is an old cemetery and you can see exactly where each body was exhumed after the decommissioning. Soldiers would attempt to cross the Missouri due to there being a ‘bar/brothel’ just across the way.. many men drown in the river.
But.. you can walk out into the middle of a field and feel like you aren’t alone.
I lived for a year in a home that was a new build (within the last 10 yrs)… the owner dug up arrowheads and didn’t give back to the land… let’s just say the guy has had one hell of a difficult time in areas of life.. particularly if I female lives in the home.
Massive chaos energy wise along with developing hard alcohol issues… even when that person has never been a drinker.
NoDak isn’t considered anything special… but we have some weird shit that goes on.
There are tunnels under Peacock Alley that connects most of the downtown district.
You can be out working in the field and KNOW you’re not alone.
Born and Raised Here.. and have had many wild experiences.
There was a Family Murdered in Turtle Lake in the late 1800s….
With very concerning similarities to the Valisca Axe Murder House and a murder of a family in Germany…
Most of the settlements are German Russian or German immigrants.. (my own Great Grandfather being one to immigrate as a Reverend.. all of his certificates are in German).
@@channelingprogram thanks for the comment. Interesting you feel that fort Lincoln is haunted! I find it interesting that a replica of a fort would be haunted by former residents, though, unless the spirits are attached to the land. I also find it interesting that folks claim that the individuals that passed at Custer’s last stand went back to the fort.
Most of those tunnels are blocked off and filled now unfortunately. I had a tour of part of them and they’re hella cool, there’s just not a full labyrinth anymore 😢
@@foreverstorytime2566 Funny Fort Lincoln was brought up. I live just a couple minutes from the walking trail that leads to the replica house. I used to longboard the trail all the way down to the replica house, literally daily. I ended up buying an electric longboard eventually, pretty much for my dog lol.
My point im getting at though is last night I was watching Live Tik Toks, I had the idea that I should longboard to the fort buildings on the hill and cemetery and go live there ghost hunting.
I have absolutely no equipment to do it other than a couple phones, and my silent board to get there.. but no ghost hunter equipment.
My house was built near a native burial site that is getting disturbed by erosion. The spirits used to be pissed and mess with me a lot but I have since gotten dream catchers and I have them at every entrance to my room. Legit native American made dream catchers are the only things that work. I really want to do that tik tok live but I dont really know if itd be worth it. Id have to just do it for fun pretty much haha and I am a chicken shit
My Uncles house(in the late 90's/early 00's) was a rum runners house and had a tunnel that ran out of town. My cousin and I were walking through it and found old animal bones freaked us out as kids. They would block it off later that year and the city would fill it in after the flood.
@@phoenixashes0013 that’s amazing. Shame they had to fill them in
Explored the old sanatorium and heard screams my friends can back up, we chose to laugh it off to not be terrified. I took some souvenirs home and swear I saw shadow people moving around at night. I threw it all away afterwards. Have never returned back there and never will.
@@jakefisher8691 you’re a heck of a lot braver than me! Sounds like a heck of a place. If I heard one scream I’d be out of there.
I've been to San Haven once being from belcourt and having worked in Dunseith at dales ("Duhn-seeth" is how you'd pronounce it by the way) My grandmother told me about the boy who fell down the elevator shaft there. It's definitely has a little bit of a reputation but when I went there nothing special happened, just very dark hallways and after heading up the stairs I went back down and left.
Thanks for correcting me on the pronunciation. Thanks for the comment! Sounds creepy, a lot of folks in the comment claim wild stuff happened to them while they were there, but good to hear an alternative take!
I grew up in walhalla and me, my brother, and a couple friends drove up and down white lady lane late at night and we all saw and heard sticks thrown at us and after the first bunch of trees on the left side we saw a tall white last with leaves swirling around her and we went there a couple other times but never saw her again and frankly don’t want to again
I’m sure you put a lot of work and effort into this video. And most ppl don’t appreciate that as much as they should.
I’m sure there’s very little stock footage of old abandoned churches on the plains, which is why the palm trees can mostly be overlooked.
But the pronunciation at 41:10 “Aree Kara” ppl? Unless it’s changed in the last few years it should be “A Rick A Raw”
@@johntjaden6761 thanks, yep there’s some issues but it’s certainly a lot of work to get all the stories right. You live and you learn, though! I’ve made changes in more recent videos.
Regarding the pronunciation, you’re right! I didn’t realize this at the time, and in the future I’ll adjust my pronunciation.
I live in Fargo and myself and my son went to Horace Mann Elementary school. The elephant buried there is something I was told also. It would be very difficult to dig it up now because the land is completely developed and very close to downtown 😊
@@jamessullivan465 hey, maybe they can use X-rays or something 😂. They’ve detected ancient tombs by monitoring gravitational anomalies? Maybe something like that?

Eyyy, I'm from ND and currently live in a ND/MN city ☺️ I'm super confused. I've been here for 30 years, and I've not heard most of these legends.. lol San Haven, yes. Haunting in general, yes. The Cryptids? No. We have a zoo where there's camels so that's true..
@@ShelbyRiemer hey, that’s just what the stories say! Also a lot of the cryptids pre-date western influence.
@@foreverstorytime2566 no I know that but I've been a Dakotan and never heard these things. My family has been here for hundreds+ yrs as well but haven't heard this stuff. Def gonna have to Google about more ND legends! Just found this on my "for you page" today. Do you do every state? MN has crazy stories!
@@ShelbyRiemer yep! I do every state. I’m working my way through the country alphabetically, so I’ve already hit MN once!
I need to revisit my earlier videos though, they weren’t nearly comprehensive enough.
North Dakotan here, the Tagus one I feel has some remote truth to it. A couple buddies and I went and visited a few years back and we never could shake the overwhelming sense of just...evil is the only way to describe it. We didn't know the history at the time and after we left when we couldn't take it anymore, we did some research into the town and learned of the history. There's something evil there in a way I can't really describe. For a bit of context, I'm not a super huge believer in the paranormal (though the stories are fun) and can almost always find a logical explanation to debunk them....but this was different. I wish I could explain better but there's definitely...something going on there.
I also strongly believe that whatever Gormund saw that fateful day in 1948 wasn't human...whatever it was. A lot of it can be written off as circumstantial or him being tired from flying for an extended period of time, but there's just something to the story that holds weight that I just have that gut feeling about. My grandfather joined the military a few years later and got to meet Gormund himself (then older and closer to retiring than not) and I heard the story first from my grandfather telling me of his conversation with Gormund about it. Might be where the gut feeling comes from tbh, but hearing it, quite literally, second hand and knowing how well respected he was adds some credibility imo.
Overall a great video and very informative. If you ever do a part two there's some other urban legends you could 100% cover like the Minot AFB UFO incident from the 1950s (I might be misremembering the timeframe) and a Minot ghost that tended to dig through people's freezers only to vanish when caught. For such an unpopulated state it's kinda crazy how many legends there actually are. Cheers mate, and thanks for covering my home state with such respect and in such a good informative nature. :D
@@RenewedAurora thanks for the great insight, I really appreciate it! I’m sure I’ll revisit North Dakota, thank you so much for the leads on more stories to research!
My wife and I live in Dunseith near San Haven, we Ojibwa Native Americans have a few cryptids Rugarou is one of them that I've personally encountered around four times since 2003 also portals around San Haven I have pictures of. Also a Doctor that worked in San Haven in the 70s wrote a book called Rugarou check it out for your self the road near San Haven is called lake shooty road it is where most of the community has been seeing these Rugarou or Dogman
@@jenniferyellowbird7610 neat! I didn’t know the Rugarou made its way up to ND, I thought it was a deep-south cryptid! Crazy.
Rougarou is a slaughtered version of French Arcadian loup-garou which literally translates to man wolf. I hate to correct you but there's no rougarou in ND because the French Arcadian people don't live there. Might be a reference to Ha-na-tá-nu-maúk who was a Mandan chief known by the French as chef-de-loup, wolf chief
Custer's house is 3 stories, not 2. I only know that because I toured it many times. There is a cheesy story about a mountain lion they kept in the basement. Along with the basement, there are two more floors.
A quick note on the Custer house. The main reason why things get riled up is because they use it as a haunted attraction in October. So all of that energy is being poured into the houses and land out there. Essentially inviting it in. A lot of the land in the Bismarck/Mandan area was tribal land and I’m sure a good portion of it was used for burial grounds. If anything there are soldiers haunting the park, not Custer himself.
My husband’s cousin used to live out there 15 or 20ish years ago and he would sometimes hear a bugle horn sound in the early morning hours when nobody was out at the park yet.
What a story! Wow. Thanks for the insight here, maybe I didn't give the park a fair shake.
One of my dad’s friends went there a few years ago for the Halloween event and she kind of ended up away from everyone else. He said that she told him that she saw a man in uniform march by and she assumed he was one of the people who dress up but he disappeared right in front of her
I've heard of all of these, and seen a live feed of the sanatorium being shut down, in addition to the bismarck tribune building being haunted. I think there's a story of one of the the universities being haunted, and a couple buildings in medora.
Thanks for the tips! Im going to revisit ND at some point, I may do a video like I did for Ohio attempting to cover every haunted place. Tons of research involved, but I like being comprehensive
All right so I’m from Fargo used to run around at the capital in Bismarck as a kid late 80’s early 90’s grandma was a secretary there way back in the day so she lived close and we horses around there nothing there I’ve ever seen but it’s not like I was there in the guts of the building at night. I can recommend looking into troll wood park an old old cemetery where bodies and coffins were moved else where but it was turned into a city park and theater place but that is right in the red river it floods out all the time and old remnants from old grave yard have been found along with bones they couldn’t move all of the bodies but headstones they did still a few out there but Im hardcore frolfer and that’s my favorite course that is there now and its very strange at dusk seen stuff out of corner of my eyes hear what sounds like talking but no one around. I like to go late because I bring my dogs and let them run around playing as I throw and no one will be there to complain about not being on leashes. I have pictures of that place but nothing really captured as far as I can tell. It’s a very eerie place with the history the location and the creepy weeping willow trees that drape down to the grass that’s where you think you see movement but only out of corner of eye. So Trollwood park is worth the research for you in Fargo,nd and also Yonkers farm house it’s called a old farm house that was converted to a children’s education museum type of place and the NDSU library on 10th st n or university drive the roads are side by side and can’t remember what road it is but figures are seen there as well.
@@brandonjaniko5280 thanks for the leads and the great stories here! I’ve jotted this down on my list of “visit this place when I visit North Dakota” spots.
Dude. Yunker Farm is creepy. I remember going there as a kid and finding that, for some reason, they had all the lights upstairs turned off. Attribute it to my being a child, but I felt like I was being watched when I went up there.
North Dakota hasn't had this much attention since it was created
Oh my gosh lol. Hey, its a beautiful state!
Born and raised in North Dakota so this video is super funny...when i wemt to General Custers replica 😂 house back in 6th grade, i will say that it had a very creepy feel the whole time i remember being there. That could be because i was 12 and there were soldiers in replica, time period clothing yelling at us like drill Sergeants 😂
@@kyleferguson4884 that’s awesome you got to go there as a kid!!! I bet it was a good time! Yeah, I heard those actors really get into their roles.
I have been to Custer’s house, San Haven, and all the sites in Bismarck. I’ve never experienced anything paranormal but my husband’s friend was a security guard at the capitol until a few years ago. He swears up and down the capitol library is haunted. He is a very no-nonsense kind of guy so that coming from him adds a bit of legitimacy.
Interesting! Crazy that Bismarck and San Haven aren't haunted but of all places the Capitol library may be. Sounds like there are quite a few stories about it, though!

I deliver beer in Bismarck, and frequently deliver to Peacock Alley. There is a basement where all of our alcohol goes, and I always go down there alone to deliver to the cooler/storeroom. I have never personally felt, heard, or seen anything down there, BUT HEY, maybe the ghosts just love beer and let me do my job. The world may never know.
If I were a ghost, I would be nicer to you than anyone else. Especially if you had a good porter with you.
I was in high school in late Seventies, probably 78 ! I worked at Mr. Steak and this early fall. At the end of the night we , everyone working that shift , decided to go to the desert south of mary College. Just a Missouri river bottom with lots of trees. When we all got there, one of the cooks and I decided to walk to the water. It was really dark that night. When we got to the waters edge. There were a lot of shadows that i thought they were trees out in the water. We are talking and all of a sudden one of the trees I thought look kinda strange . it was about 30 to 50 ft out in the water. It was seeming to move. I said to my co-worker what is that out in the water. We both watch and all of a sudden it moved turning sideways. ReVealing soming different that was there before. It had huge shoulders and shaggy like hair! My moved lots faster then I could. I screamed his name and he came back for me. Pulled me. I was stunned. But then we ran. And everyone at the left including. I didn’t hear about anybody else that had seen Bigfoot in that area of North Dakota but it sure convinced me there was a big foot.

@@giannidcenzo howdy! Thank you so much!
this whole place is bloody it’s all haunted
Lol .. im from white shield nd so its funny to hear it mentioned... And just fyi fort berthold is pernounced (birth hold).. but good job i like it!
Thanks so much! Sorry for the mispronunciation, it’s amazing doing this series to know I’m “fluent” in English and see how much regional variation there is, really cool to see.
How could you not include the State Hospital Grounds in Jamestown?!?! Hector is known to haunt LaHaug. There are numerous ghosts reported at the James River Correctional Facility that shares a campus and is in the oldest of the buildings that previously held state hospital patients. I, personally, heard *something* in the basement of the mostly unused building called 16 West: very heavy, shuffling footsteps coming from the direction of the old tunnels and what sounded to be an old radio playing music from the 1920s or 30s in the northwest corner at the same time. The corner was not easily accessible due to piping that ran through the entire basement. The first floor of the building is used for engineering, but this was a Sunday afternoon and no one was there from the department. The second and third floors are practically falling in due to neglect and disuse. The barns are also allegedly haunted, although I never got to see inside them myself.
The University of Jamestown Kroeze Hall is haunted by a former student that--you know--and was obsessive about rubik's cubes and you can hear him spinning the sides. There is also a little girl in a dress that haunts one of the other dorms, although I can't remember which one off the top of my head. No one is sure who she is or why she is there.
Whoah when did we get Palm trees?
@@Bigwhoopiedingdong around the time I ran out of free stock footage 😂
Love it
@@jonigeszvain3084 thank you so much!
Custer is buried at West Point, not at the Little Big Horn Battlefield.
And the battle was fought in montana near crow agency
I wasn’t aware of that, I figured his “ghost” may more logically be there if he passed there, but who knows how the rules work on that.
I do know this haha, that’s why I said it was ~300 and something miles away
My buddys old girlfriend and him went to go visit the sanitarium, stupidly. They took a photo while they were there, and she looked like she was an elderly woman in her 80's or so. She was in her early 20's at the time. I guess she also had deep scratch wounds on her back where she wouldnt be able to reach. Scary stuff. Just goes to show.. leave that kinda stuff alone.
@@kristinak2211 that’s super creepy, holy heck.
I've been to Ft. Lincoln. Spent an entire weekend hiking and investigating the area. It's not even remotely haunted. Even took pictures of the cemetery. Also, the costumes aren't accurate, they are machine sewn. The staff are amazing though and my grandson wants to go back.
@@AnjiThornton bummer on the costumes being machine sewn, but so glad your grandson had a good time. That’s what life is all about!
If ghosts return to their homes the afterlife must be operating on Beetlejuice rules
@@doct0rnic 😂
Nodak!
Love the ND palm trees. UGH 😮 and Walhalla is 5 miles from Canada not Winnipeg.
@@marymeine3612 yep, I meant Manitoba, but my brain didn’t work. Also, gotta upgrade that stock footage I guess
umm. Winnipeg is a city in Manitoba Canada and is more than 5 miles a from ND. good place from a class trip though if you take chaperones that look other way for minor drinking :) ND certainty felt like hell growing up so sure stair way to why not
Oh gosh, I meant to say 5 miles from Manitoba and said Winnipeg and didn’t catch it. Classic me. Crud. Well, glad you enjoyed Winnipeg at least!
Is the custer replica built on the original site? I think when we see or feel ghosts, sometimes we are actually hearing or seeing into the past. I know I am odd
@@jonigeszvain3084 I wasn’t able to tell if the site was EXACTLY the same but I’m pretty sure it’s nearby the original.
Don’t think you’re weird! I think there’s a lot science hasn’t yet explained, and I think that ghosts even if they aren’t real are an integral part of the human experience. I genuinely believe people see them whether they are in our minds or exist independently.
It is built right where the old one burned. I believe it was made right on the cobblestone basement the old one was on.
@@jujubeane8334 oh wow, good to know.
Walhalla is in Pembina County not Ward County. Ward county is the one with the flower on its head
Devils Lake resident moved here 10 years ago! It’s weird that you say for some reason, I always had this eerrie feeling of like the past had some devil worship going on! Idk maybe I’m crazy!! lol… JK.
Hey, from what I can tell ND has quite a bit going on. I’d trust your gut 🤣
there an abandoned hunted hospital in minot ND
Thanks for the tip!
North Dakota is where I live
Awesome! I hope you enjoy it!
Hey man I’m from ND and loved the video! I work for a smaller local news outlets called The Dakotan and help run a podcast called Minot Talk. I can’t find any contact info for you so i figured id leave this here! Just wanted to extend an invite to have you on sometime to talk about the video and ND a bit! Feel free to reply back and I’ll throw my email at you!
@@AhJeezEnt Hey, thanks for reaching out! I’ll check your podcast out. I’d be open to coming on the podcast, you can reach out via email at storytimestorytime10@gmail.com. Admittedly I’m not intimately connected to North Dakota, but I’d be happy to talk about this video series and what I’ve learned about urban legends. Maybe a bit about life otherwise, too.
@@foreverstorytime2566 thanks a bunch, I’ll reach out here shortly! It’s definitely a WIP so don’t be shocked on it but we’re trying to expose our area to different media sources. Thanks again!
@@AhJeezEnt Haha, sounds good! This channel is a work in progress, too, but I'm happy to chat - I appreciate you reaching out.
Please note, for future reference, that there is a huge difference between 'Calvery' and 'cavelry'.
North Dakota is the Shire.
@@PushupsNMushrooms 😂
BRO WHAT I LIVE IN WARD COUNTY
yippee ND representation
@@goldenfurniture123 and I’ll be back for more at some point! One of my favorite states!
I'm not sure how you get Walhalla is 5 miles from Winnipeg.
I meant Manitoba. Big mess-up right at the start
@@foreverstorytime2566 lol np great video
You should have covered that time a guy that came to ND to ranch but just killed a lot of cattle and said he wanted to kill almost all natives. Teddy Roosevelt. People in ND imagine he did something else.

How is Walhalla just 5 miles from Winnipeg?
@@makidominguez5856 I meant 5 miles from Manitoba. Eesh
New subscriber... Thanks for the interesting videos although we didn't appreciate the 52 minute advertising video, crammed in around the ten minute mark of this 48 minutes video... Why ?
@@scarborosasquatchstation1403 52 minutes in ads!? Holy crap, I’m so sorry. I don’t choose the ads, sadly.
Arikara
Uh-RICK-uh-RAH
Almost everyone gets that wrong. Appreciate you!!
Also, when growing up the ghost stories I heard about Custer's house were mostly about his wife. That she is still waiting for him to return from the battle. I believe there are some original items in the recreation too...but I could be wrong!
@@morganr3981 thank you for the clarification on that, I appreciate it! I’m always hoping to do better, and as someone who speaks a handful of languages I still struggle to pronounce anything in any Native American dialect.
Regarding the Custer house, it looks like I was maybe a bit too negative on it! It looks like it’s built on top of the original house (supposedly) and, yes), that it has lots of original items inside.
Hi!!
@@therider4877 howdy!!!
wanna come to north dakota and make out?
given the creepy nature of this video, i take it back!!! heck
@@frostedfawkz5457 lmao I’ve never had that requested of me before. I apologize, but I have to maintain a professional appearance here 😂.
The only problem in nd now is how uninteresting it is. I almost wish this was all true
a lot of it is shakey at best but heckin good video but you didnt at all bring up the lake up here that was filled while natives were living at the base of what use to be land but is now submerged
@@frostedfawkz5457 oh man, I’ll have to look into that! Thanks for the tip. I’m imagining I’ll do a follow-up to ND.
Would be a lot cooler if pictures from the actual places
In more recent videos that’s what I’m doing. When I return to North Dakota I’ll be doing it right.
Could have at least used some pictures from North Dakota. None of these are real.
Wouldn’t they really be “Rural Legends”?
@@IDontKnowIJustDo 😂 I suppose in the case of ND this might be a more apt term, yep!
Lowkey all of this sounds like someone was bullshiting when they gave this guy information
“Lowkey” these are real stories that are mostly easy to research and find around North Dakota. Not a single state in the USA is boring, if it’s boring to you you’re just not looking for the right things to do.
You mean 5 hours from Winnipeg
I think he meant Manitoba
@@tobythenewguy6188 correct… my doofus butt just had to say Winnipeg knowing full and well that was a city 😂
hi
Howdy! Thanks for dropping by!
Where's the South Dakota legends at?
I'm doing the states in alphabetic order, so Its coming up soon!
Dun-seeth
Yep, I need to work on my pronunciations.
The true conspiracy theory is that there's really no evidence to show that TH-cam does anything when somebody uses the word gun or murder or any of that stuff. I really do not like the infantilization of all these words. I don't think it's good for people. Kittens Terrible act
