I am from Minnesota was raised on a farm by perch lake a couple miles from Truman. We didn’t have much but hard work and family. People were hard in those day and even harder in the days before. I have a few stories myself that have came from grandmother, uncles and aunts.

I have a VERY interesting story about my experience with a building that I moved from that farm to my place by Madison Lake. I never fully believed in supernatural beings until this experience! I’d love to share it with you.
