The Wabasha Street Caves in St. Paul, Minnesota, are an iconic site steeped in history, intrigue, and paranormal lore. Originally carved out of the sandstone along the Mississippi River, the caves were used in the late 1800s for mining silica. By the 1920s and 1930s, during the Prohibition era, the site evolved into a speakeasy and popular nightclub known as Castle Royal. This period was marked by jazz music, dancing, and a vibrant social scene, but it was also shadowed by violence and crime due to the heavy presence of organized crime figures. Gangsters like John Dillinger and Ma Barker are rumored to have frequented the establishment, which became infamous for its lawless yet glamorous aura.

One of the most persistent legends associated with the Wabasha Street Caves involves the tale of three gangsters who were allegedly murdered there during a mob dispute. The story goes that these men were shot at a table in the nightclub and their bodies disappeared, either buried within the caves or disposed of in the nearby river. To this day, many believe the spirits of these murdered mobsters haunt the caves. Visitors and staff have reported eerie occurrences, such as ghostly figures dressed in 1920s attire appearing and disappearing suddenly, disembodied voices, and cold spots that defy explanation.

The caves have also been repurposed over the decades for various functions, including as a mushroom farm and later as a tourist attraction. Despite changes in use, the reports of paranormal activity have persisted, cementing the Wabasha Street Caves’ reputation as one of Minnesota’s most haunted locations. Ghost tours are regularly conducted, attracting visitors intrigued by the chance to encounter the unexplained. Whether due to the violent history, the mysterious stories surrounding the mob era, or simply the caves’ naturally eerie atmosphere, the site remains a focal point for those interested in haunted places and the echoes of Minnesota’s past.
