Annie Mary Twente

Norman and Scott recount the story of the ghost of a little gitl who is buried on a windswept hill to the southwest of New Ulm. Her name was Annie Mary Twente, and she died in 1886 at the tender age of just 6 years old. A simple grave marks her resting place.

For a full account of her history, we recommend you read the source below.

Local lore states that her apparition has been sighted wandering near to her final resting place for over a century.

Others have reported experiencing an unusual coldness around her gravestone. However, her remains were apparently removed in 1996 and reinterred elsewhere.

Unconfirmed.
