"Legend has it that before the Government Center, it was called Mankato Place Mall, and before this it was the Filbert Hotel and the Showboat Saloon. The area directly above the SSI office is haunted by a past resident who is believed to be named Molly. There are 5 sets of windows above the SSI office. She can be sometimes can be seen looking out the middle (smaller) set of windows. She also opens and closes doors and plays with lights and sounds while people are working. However she does not seem threatening. The open area in front of the SSI office has seen much supernatural activity also. Human forms in turn of the century clothing have materialized in mirrors, sometimes appearing to be walking along the old bar area toward the exit door. A strange voice has even been heard numerous times near the shopping area. In the cellar, unusual cold spots are apparent, as well as the sounds and smells of kegs of beer being moved around. Security guards have been known to experience feelings of nausea while in the cellar, as well as sudden anxiety. Most of these events seem to take place sometime during the middle of the night. The only known daytime vision was during a Minnesota State University Hockey Blue Line Club meeting before a hockey game. One woman swears that she sat next to a "kindly old woman" named Molly who talked about the old days in Mankato. The first woman turned away to say "hi" to a friend and when she looked back the woman was gone. Her friend says that there was no one sitting with the first lady."
