Frank the Brewer - Mankato, MN

"Legend has it that the Old Mankato Brewery site at the east end of East Rock Street is haunted. Railroad and newspaper man Frank Hammill is generally regarded as the father of Mankato Beer. He arrived in 1883 on the Chicago Northwestern Railroad. He later became publisher of the Mankato Advocate, mayor of the town, and a prominent Republican politician. Hammill died suddenly in 1922 of a mysterious stomach problem."

"His body was displayed in the beautiful house he had built for himself and his family on North 7th Street. His wife lived the remainder of her days there and often reported feeling that Frank was still there with her. As time passed and new owners took over, the house gained a reputation of being haunted. Frank, said the new owners, was still in town. Many guests report hearing noises, voices, and feeling that they simply were not alone in the old house -- one family even moved out. Today the apparent haunting continues, and the current residents are absolutely certain they are not alone. They even refer to their guest as Frank."
