While at a film festival in Duluth, Minnesota, we made a new friend named Adrienne Acevedo Lovette, who just so happens to occasionally see spirits. Since we all had extra time before our flights home that evening, we toured the town of Duluth and visited the historic Glensheen Mansion, infamous for the tragic 1977 murders shrouded in mystery. We wanted to see the beautiful estate, and also test our intuitive abilities. While the property is well-kept and in pristine condition, we sensed chilling energy as we roamed its halls, from the ominous grand staircase to the unsettling attic. This episode also includes an eerie collection of listener-submitted stories that explore the paranormal. It promises a haunting blend of history, mystery, and the supernatural, perfect for anyone with a taste for the unknown.To learn more about Adrienne Acevedo Lovette:Visit: Adrienne's LinktreeFollow on InstagramCheck out her imdbSupport the show-- SUBSCRIBE in your preferred podcast app!-- Follow @clairvoyagingpodcast on Instagram.-- Send us an email: clairvoyagingpodcast@gmail.com-- Become a Clairvoyager and get access to exclusive extras!Looking to book a distance Reiki session with Lauren?https://www.hellolaurenleon.com/

You may have seen the story first reported by the Duluth News Tribune: A boy discovered historic human remains on the shore of Lake Superior near the Scandia Cemetery next to Glensheen Mansion in Duluth. The bones were uncovered through the process of erosion along the shoreline. Erosion is a serious issue for cemeteries along bodies of water and it is tricky to figure out who is responsible for keeping human remains in place at these historic sites. Minnesota State archeologist Amanda Gronhovd joined MPR News host Cathy Wurzer to share the next steps for the Scandia Cemetery.

Glensheen Mansion is reportedly the most visited historic home in the state of Minnesota. The stately home originally sat on 22 acres of lakefront property in Duluth and was built by the Congdon Family. The brick facade and rising chimneys communicate a welcoming spirit, but the truth is that this mansion was the setting of a heinous double murder leaving the Congdon's daughter Elizabeth dead, as well as her nurse. The story is a narrative of insanity, greed and murder. And now that story continues with legends of hauntings on the property. Spirits are at unrest.

In this episode of Walking Distance presented by The Trek and hosted by Blissful Hiker (Alison Young), we are joined by Emily Ford, the first woman and person of color to thru-hike Wisconsin's 1,200 mile Ice Age Trail in winter. Emily is from Duluth, and the head gardener at the historic Glensheen Mansion. She completed her Ice Age thru-hike with a dog she cherished, Alaskan husky Diggins. Blissful Hiker covers the unique loneliness of solo backpacking, humanity's relationship with wilderness, and Emily's perspective on what her hike means for people of color.  Gossamer Gear discount code: Use code “walkingdistance” to save 15% off your cart at GossamerGear.com.

Interview with Emily Ford 1:43 - Background on Emily Ford and the Ice Age trail 3:03 - This winter was mild for Wisconsin standards, but weather standards are different for normal activities and for hiking. How was it to hike in the Wisconsin winter? 4:12 - What did you pack? I read that you carried 60 pounds. 5:30 - Can you talk about your sleep system? What was the rating for your sleeping bag? 5:50 - What stayed the whole trip and what did you get rid of? 6:20 - You said there wasn't much snow in the beginning, but I just imagine postholing. How did you stay upright in the snow? 7:14 - You mentioned that you cried. Do you want to share any reasons that happened? 8:58 - Can you introduce us to Diggins? She's also at the forefront when you've talked about your thru-hike. Where did she come from and what was your relationship like? 10:32 - Was Diggins there to help you cut trail, or mostly for companionship? 11:34 - You got into backpacking more as an adult? How did you learn about the Ice Age trail and why did you choose it? 12:14 - More than half the trail is footpaths, and some are connected routes. How did you plan where to camp and how you were going to walk it? 13:38 - I heard you had great trail angels and trail magic along the way, what happened? 16:08 - This is the biggest trip Emily has taken, but choosing something that hasn't been done before fits along with who Emily is. 18:15 - One of the reasons why Emily loves backpacking is the solo aspect of it, the opportunity to think alone and think a lot, to dig into deeper psyches.  20:05 - I love that in one of your posts you quote some children you met, and one asked if you ever get bored. Did you? 21:30 - In one of your posts, you reacted to the wolf slaughter in Wisconsin where 216 wolves were killed in 3 days. You wrote about owning the wilderness as another way of privileging ourselves. How do you see yourself on the trail and in the wilderness? 23:22 - Right now as we're speaking, it's the first day of the trial for the police officer who killed George Floyd. You've done something amazing during the time of COVID, but for others, particularly people of color, it's been really hard. What do you think your hike will mean for people of color? 24:45 - Are there any lessons you've learned that you can see applying to your life as a gardener or just in general? 26:25 - What would you tell your younger self, or someone else just starting out? Would you change your training or attitude going in? 27:25 - Emily Ford is an inspiration to all of us planning a backpack trip. When we feel the itch to try something new, she seems to tell us that we should follow through.  Mentioned in this episode: Emily Ford in Backpacker Radio episode #101 Emily Ford Hiked 1,200 Miles in the Dead of Winter by Outside Magazine Emily's Instagram Get all of the Walking Distance Podcast episodes.

Anna and Anni go back to back with histories and hauntings from two famous places in Minnesota - the Glensheen Mansion in Duluth and the West Hills Orphanage in Owatonna.Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/nightmarenation)

In 1908 the family moved into the house. That was also the year that Chester won a House a Representative seat in the State Congress.  He died at 63 of a heart attack. When he died he was the richest person in Minnesota.  The adult children later all moved out of the house and Clara remained, living a less lavish lifestyle. She was still involved in the community but it was less public.  Their youngest daughter, Elizabeth, dropped out of college to stay with Clara when her dad died. Elizabeth never married but adopted two daughters to live with her at the estate. Clara died in 1950 at age 96.  Elizabeth suffered a stroke in 1964 and required a full time nurse.  The murders took place on June 27th, 1977. Someone broke into the mansion and killed the 67 year old nurse, Velma Pietila, on the stairway with a candlestick. The killer then went upstairs and smothered Elisabeth Congdon with a satin pillow. The next day it was discovered that a watch and a ring she was wearing were missing, along with other pieces of jewelry and a wicker suitcase.  Suspicion immediately fell to Marjorie Caldwell, one of Elisabeth’s adopted daughters, and her husband, Roger for several reasons. First, in 1949 she had been diagnosed as a sociopath. In 1973 her mother had to be hospitalized after eating a sandwich with Caldwell’s homemade marmalade. She survived, but hospital staff were unable to explain the high level of tranquilizers found in her system. Also Caldwell and her husband were desperate for money. Caldwell was in line to inherit 8$ million when her mother passed.  A month before Elisabeth was killed Caldwell had asked the Congdon trustees for $750,000 so they could buy a horse-breeding ranch. They’d been denied. After the funeral the two went to the Twin Cities where Roger collapsed. He was taken to the hospital and it was found that he had a high dose of sedatives in him, similar to the ones found in Elisabeth’s body in 1973.  While Roger recovered the police searched the couple’s hotel toom and found the diamond watch, sapphire ring, and wicker suitcase, leading to them being charged.  Roger was found guilty and given two life sentences. Caldwell was also charged with conspiring to kill her mother. Many thought that she was the mastermind behind the crimes.  During Caldwell’s trial she would knit at the defense table. She also brought a birthday cake for one of the lawyers. People believe this helped lead to her being acquitted.  Two years after Roger was found guilty two new pieces of information -a disputed fingerprint and changed witness testimony- lead to him getting a new trial.  Prosecutor’s didn’t want to risk a not guilty verdict so they gave him a deal. Roger confessed to the murders and was freed after serving five years in jail. He later committed suicide.  After being acquitted Caldwell left Minnesota. She later served two prison terms for arson and was accused of murdering her third husband after he died of a drug overdose.  She is still alive and lives in Arizona.  The house is open for public tours but they won’t discuss the murders.

It’s October of 2014, and the people of Duncan, Oklahoma, are concerned. They haven’t seen the Hruby family all weekend. The Hruby’s are usually everywhere. They own the local newspaper. They’re actively involved in the community. But on Monday morning, their longtime housekeeper made a gruesome discovery. John, Tinker, and 17-year-old Katherine Hruby were dead. Everyone in the Hruby family was dead. Everyone but Alan. Then, Brandi tells us about a murder mystery at the Glensheen Historic Estate. The 20,000 square foot mansion is something to behold. It’s now a museum, operated by the University of Minnesota Duluth. But for a long time, the mansion was home to the Congdon family. In the late 60’s, the original owner’s youngest daughter Elisabeth promised the home to the university upon her death. But her death came sooner than anticipated. Late at night on June 27, 1977, Elizabeth Congdon and her nurse Velma Pietila were murdered. Who could have carried out such a senseless crime?   And now for a note about our process. For each episode, Kristin reads a bunch of articles, then spits them back out in her very limited vocabulary. Brandi copies and pastes from the best sources on the web. And sometimes Wikipedia. (No shade, Wikipedia. We love you.) We owe a huge debt of gratitude to the real experts who covered these cases. In this episode, Kristin pulled from: American Greed episode “Blood Relatives” “Man to spend life in prison for killing parents, sister,” by Nolan Clay for The Oklahoman In this episode, Brandi pulled from: “Trail of clues, legal twists kept Glensheen murder case going for years” by Candace Renalls, Duluth News Tribune “Blood money: The grisly murders at Duluth’s Glensheen mansion” by Hannah Jones, City Pages “Man’s Suicide Note: ‘I Didn’t Kill Those ’Girls’” Associate Press “40 years later, Glensheen murders still grip Duluth” by Dan Kraker, MPR News  

In Duluth Minnesota there is a mansion that was once owned by a very wealthy family but this is no ordinary mansion a murder was committed there in 1977 and to this day Minnesotans still haven't recovered.

In our 8th episode of Minnesota Mysteries, we uncover the grim history of Glensheen Mansion. This house has all the making of a classic murder tale: Marjorie, in the Billiards Room, with a candlestick. Psychic Gary Spivey blames the forces of a Werewolf Demon. Was there truly an evil spirit present in the mansion the night of the murders? Or was the only evil presence that of the daughter - driven by greed?

Join us this week as we discuss a local Minnesota spoop. The Gleensheen Mansion is located just outside of Duluth, MN along Lake Superior and is the site where the murder of Elizabeth Congdon took place. Was her attacker a complete stranger, of was it someone much closer than she thought? Interested in helping us out?

Whether it's by bike, kayak, or pint glass, the way visitors (and residents) explore Duluth takes on many forms these days. And Dave Grandmaison, co-owner of The Duluth Experience has a little something to do with that. “There was a niche to be filled,” said Grandmaison, who started the tour company in 2012 with a few friends. On this week's podcast, he shares with us how the Duluth Experience came to be, what types of tours they offer and what to expect when you book a tour with them. What we are into this week: Glensheen Mansion play, bean bag toss, handkerchief, and the Beach Boys.

He was just 30 years old and only four years out of law school when Duluth heiress Elizabeth Congdon was discovered smothered to death in her bed at Glensheen Mansion, her night nurse Velma Pietila fatally beaten with a candlestick. Forty years later, then chief prosecutor John DeSanto joins the podcast this week to share his firsthand experience with Duluth's most well-known murder case. "The day of June 27, 1977, Monday. I remember it like it was yesterday," DeSanto said. To get in touch with the Pressroom Podcast, email us at podcast@duluthnews.com.
